[@scrapbook]

We love this beautiful layout, Victoria! The distressed circle is such a great tip and gives your layout so much texture! 😍

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks so much!!!!

[@JessaCrownedByJesus]

Love it and I love that her sweater is orange cause it makes her pics pop!!! 🖤

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks! I thought so too!

I love this page; it's stunning I think the green, yellow, orange, pink all work really well together, and I think that is a great technique for the circle. I will definitely try this!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks so much!

[@sharonhunt6758]

Beautiful layout! I’ve been following you for years and you still continuously amaze me with your talent!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Aww, thanks so much my dear friend!

This is a beautiful page design. Your daughter’s sweater is a great splash of vibrant color. Her sweater draws the viewer’s eye to her as The Artist.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Oh thank you!

Love those stressing strips you created!!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks!

[@valdaritter8159]

Great layout!

[@CraftyConceptswithErin]

I love the textured circle element. The white cardstock is perfect. I can’t tie a bow either, not even with the fork method. I need that corner chomper tool!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks so much! 😊

[@indybeth200]

Just lovely...

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you so much!

[@jillhamlett6644]

Fabulous layout. Thanks for the inspiration

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you so much!

[@peggycollins2983]

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you so much!

[@debbie-i7j]

Love ❤️ this Layout Victoria

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you!

[@martarigby8233]

Cool technique!! And I actually love that you don’t necessarily try to match everything to your photos. Sometimes the concept of that just gives me a headache! 😮

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

It can be challenging, but when you release that limitation, a whole creative world opens up!

[@sandyjustian7873]

I love the technique for the circle. I'm doing it!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Yay! Happy scrappin'!

[@j9cardstock354]

Victoria, what a beautiful layout! I love the design. I am thinking that one could make a more subtle texture by using a scor board or by using shiplap patterend paper. Perhaps, all try all 3 ways. Btw, your bow is great. Thank you, Jeannine

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

YES absolutely!!!

[@rebeccanieves-pagan86]

Beautiful!!!! Love this idea!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you!

[@bdebsing]

Really lovely!😍😍😍

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks!

[@paper_belle9770]

Beautiful LO!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you!!!

[@kokopelligirltam]

😍Really nice technique! I can see myself using that on cards as well. When you pulled out that distressing tool it felt like I used own that at some point. 🧐Now I’m wondering where it might be ??? I don’t remember throwing it away or perhaps a friend of mine owned it🤔… So many tools so little time…😱Thanks for the beautiful layout. Love that your daughter is the only orange element- great spotlight

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Hope you were able to find your distress tool! LOL!

[@EvitasBudgetingLife]

Very pretty! 😚

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thank you!

[@industrialtumbleweed3849]

I love the distressed circle, I’m going to steal that idea immediately for an anniversary card I am making. Also, I feel your pain with tying bows; I can’t do it either. If possible I will get someone else to do it for me or the recipient just has to live with my sad attempts.

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Sad attempts...LOL! I felt that!

[@stampbooker]

I love it!!

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

Thanks!

[@n.curtis47]

Is it possible that you can do a page geared towards teenage boys? Thanks

[@VictoriaMarieScraps]

I will consider that for future layouts. I have stories about my teen cousins and nephews that I need to scrapbook. 😀
