Hello everyone and welcome to Altenew’s Crafty Friends Blog Hop!! Today we are sharing our love of crafting with friends. If you’ve arrived here from the talented Pretty Pink Posh blog, then you are on the right track. If you arrived here on your own, then you will want to start at the beginning, the Altenew Scrapbook Blog so that you don’t miss a thing!
Take a look at my layout:
The layout above is all about crafting with friends. I use to do lunch Make-n-Take’s with my coworkers and they loved it. We laughed and they learned how to create cards, boxes, ornaments, etc. They really treasured our time together. I love sharing my love of crafting with them.
My duties at worked changed so these lunch Make-n-Take’s dwelled away. Looking back on these photos allow me to be grateful for these moments with my friends.
Here’s how to create this page:
Using the PenBlade 15, cut some of the rose and the leaf so that the photo can rest behind them for dimension.
Then rounded all four corners of each photo. Add some adhesive behind the photo and adhere them to the page behind the cut outs.
After that, cut a small piece of pattern paper. Adhere it to the top left hand corner of the layout by adding tape to the bottom right corner of that piece.
Then pull the top layer corner down about an inch and pin it down by placing a charm and a brad.
To add the title, use the puffy stickers from the Reflection Scrapbook Collection and run the title around the top of the photos.
To finish off the layout, using stamps from Altenew Pattern Play- Circle stamp set, Altenew Happy Holidays stamp set and Altenew Moments in Time stamp set to add a couple of sentiments to the bottom of the layout with the Memory MISTI.
Let’s take another look:

What a beautiful way to commemorate a very special time. I love how you used the patterned paper to your advantage by strategically cutting to create “photo corners”! My favorite idea: the top left corner! So clever. Thank you.
Lovely layout, and so wonderful to have crafty friends!

Lovely layout, thanks for some ideas for a ladies’ activity.

I love that huge flower as the focal point and the sentiment that winds around!
How much fun this is, to craft with your collegaeus during lunch time! Fab lay out!
I love your page!!! What a great idea to take a photo while crafting with friends. I think this weekend I’m going to have to do this and make each one of my friends at the table a page layout for them! Thanks for the inspiration!!!
Beautiful! What a lovely way to showcase your crafty friends!
Very nice, creative layout – job well done.
What a lovely layout! I like the way you tucked the pictures in behind the rose and the little corner rolled over and held in place with the cute little brad and charm. Its too bad your lunch time crafting has stopped but at least you have fun memories of good times with some great friends.
Thank you for sharing your lovely work!
Great layout! I love the big flower.
this is something we should do more often.
when friends get together to play at a
favorite pastime – it should be documented.
thanks for the idea.
Beautiful design!
Wow what an amazing layout! Thanks for sharing!
What a way to remember happy moments with friends, great layouts
Love the Circle of Friendship under the bloom that connects them!
Beautiful page, with great memories for you !
I like that detail off the corner that is folded back and attached with the charm.
Thank you for sharing your creativity.
I think it’s fantastic!! Love the colrs you used and how you tied it all together seamlessly!
This is a lovely layout. Normally I don’t like puffy stickers, but you used them in a way that I find very nice!!
Wow!! I don’t know what to comment on first! Your layout is so beautiful and really celebrates your crafty time perfectly! And what a fun idea to do the make and takes with your co-workers!! I’m sure they loved it!
The pictures look as if they are tucked behind the flower. Love it!
