Scrapbooking Obsession!!!

I think I have it!!! Just Scrapping all the time!!!
Heres the layouts created last night. Parts of it done when we had the black out, just lit by a torch.
This is the best friends layout;
Firstly a piece from the white background was cut off with a piece of orange to replace it. With a scalloped ruler I traced scallops onto the piece of lime green, both sides and then distressed and inked in orange. A piece of Making Memories {noteworthy} orange piece is added to the centre of the lime green.Photo matted in pink and distressed. Frame added underneath the photo with the other side a piece from the new Paperie notebook range. Piece of orange tied around that piece with a pink tied around the orange/white backing piece. Smaller green ribbon tied around that ribbon.Buttons added to the scalloped piece in a pattern of orange, pink, green, the bottom button order is reversed. The orange letters are from Pink Paisely Stickers and the hot pink ones from Heidi Swapp's newest range (beginning to be a favourite, I've used them on many layouts now!) but then distressed with sand-paper. Cross-stitch done in right corner top and bottom, with the green ribbon next to the title also stitched on. Large buttons added to the left of the page sewn on and more X's sewn below it. Outside edge of page is distressed and then inked in hot pink, lime green and orange.
Heres a close up of the flowers; Plastic sunflowers are put onto larger coloured flowers, one hot pink the other two lime green. The word 2006 is hand-written in an orange painty pen.
Heres a close up of the title. Using sand paper on these letters really makes an awesome effect. Also see the different colours inked on the edge of the paper.
Heres the second layout;
Beachy photo's used all cut down and are smaller sizes. Each matted differently to match the colours used in the papers. A circle is cut, I just used a bowl in the pantry, cut around and distressed. Piece of green put over that with a stripe of orange across the both of them. Photos all added onto it. Journalling done with a piece cut from the Pink Paisley journalling cut-out page. Running stitch in green along two of the edges. "Fun in the sun" is a rub on and the letters once again the Heidi hot pink ones. Distressed also with sandpaper. Three starfishes are added to the page and then more journalling around every photo, two photos are journalled directly on the photo. Heres a close up of the title;
