i have raved about miss sarah klemish before … and i'll do it again. she's extremely talented … and i just LOVE her style! i think in a lot of ways … her style is so much like mine. and yet it's different … simpler. i love simple … i really, really do. so we had chatted before about maybe trading photos and scrapping for each other … since she has boys and i have girls. we finally did … and here are two of the gorgeous layouts that she made for me already. 

Au natural 

i just love this one. i love the text paper … one of sarah's favorites to use lately. she has me convinced that i need some … but it was out of stock when i went to order it. maybe because she bought it all! lol! i love the colors on here … and how it fits with the nature/natural theme and look. so simple … so perfect.

Freeze 

i really love this layout. the title is just perfect … it totally fits the vibe of the photo. and it's something i would never think of. i tend to take the easy way out with my titles … and they're always the same it seems. i love all the white space on here … really letting the photo take center stage. and the pastels with the woodgrain paper are so delicate … and then love the punch of red with the buttons. love it!

you can check them out more HERE and HERE … you can leave her some praise there. and for more inspiration … check out her galleries HERE and HERE.  yep, she's cool enough to have 2 galleries! lol! i have her photos she sent me all printed out and matched up to papers and cardstock. just have to get working on them now. i hope i can come up with something as cool as she did for me!

    Lovely! I love Sarah’s stuff. She is great. I know you will come up with equally gorgeous layouts.
    I also love Davinie’s layouts. She is featured alot in Scrapbook Trends, just like you are.
    Congrats on the Jillibean Soup spot! Can’t wait to see what you create.

    I love BOTH of these layouts — but I’ve gotta say, (and perhaps I am just a tad more emotional today…lack of sleep), but that second layout literally took my breath away and made me feel teary eyed when I’d read the title! Oh my goodness, that is just THE most perfect title for the “vibe” of that photo! Thanks for sharing these Laura!

    Beautiful, Laura!
    I can never come up with titles, either! Gonna have to work on that 🙂 I love both her titles! I’ll probably steal both of them. Haha! Thanks for linking us to her so I can be inspired by her gorgeous work and leave her some compliments 🙂

    Absolutely gorgeous! WOW! I love simple too but am always so afraid to leave white space but that second layout … took my breath away. Literally. Can’t wait to see what you create Laura – I bet they will be FABULOUS! Oh and if you ever find yourself with free time I’ll send you some photos of my boys to scrap if you REALLY want to scrap boy photos. Totally kidding. Okay kinda not but you know what I mean girl! LOL 😉

    How fun to see someone else design a page for you . . . they look at it a completely different way, from their style but using your pic. I’ll have to find someone to do that with 🙂

    Laura I am SO glad you like the layouts – your photos are amazing and I can’t thank you enough for letting me scrap them! Can’t wait to work on the others this weekend!
    The text paper is by October Afternoon – it is called “Kate” and it is from their Night Lite collection (and yes, I am going through a phase with it . . . love it!)

    It must be so cool to have someone do that for you! You gave her the good photos 🙂
    I wouldn’t call he style simple as much as clean … I love it 🙂
    I’ve noticed your string elements before and now she did it … I’ve always liked it, but now that I want to do it myself, I’m wondering how you do it … do you wrap it around the whole paper? That would be a lot of string. Do you cut it and tape it? What kind of string do you use? Where do you get it?
    Thanks!
