Pass The Page Blog Hop - Bonkers For Conkers

Hello & Welcome! If you've just arrived by way of From High In The Sky and have never visited before, you won't be aware that it's been well over three months since I last posted. (If you used to be a regular visitor, don't let these new folks in on my shameful secret! It was never my intention to take such an extended break and I have the lovely Julie to thank for bringing me back to the 'world of the blogging.')

If you're not familiar with the concept of Pass The Page, you might want to start the blog hop 'officially' at Letting The Days Roll By where all will be explained. And, as an added bonus there's a few prizes to be had for commenting along the way.

My part in the blog hop was to adapt Sian's rather beautiful layout (which always meant that mine would look rather dull by comparison.) Initially, I was inspired by Sian's use of layering, as well as the overall balance of her page. I liked the large rectangle created by the papers in the bottom half of the page and the embellishment cluster. However, the thing that I always love the most about Sian's pages is her emphasis on storytelling.

There were many twists and turns in the completion of my layout, so it's totally different to how I imagined it! But, I got the story down on paper - so that's good enough for me!

***Although no cameras were hurt during the photographing of this project, I had just damaged my camera lens. I still haven't replaced and this is the only photograph I have of this layout. Forgive me the bad lighting and the lack of detail shots?***

Now, I don't know about you, but I am dying to find out how the story ends. Your first step on the way to finding out should be Craft Imperfect where Helen has taken inspiration from my layout to make her very own. But, before you go, remember to leave a comment to be in with a chance of winning...

...You never know there may be a sneaky, surprise type of prize too :)
