Sometimes I need a bit of a boost with coming up with ideas for a layout, sketches are great as inspiration but the Scrap Room have a slightly different approach on their blog where they specify the sizes of the papers to cut out and then you arrange them on the page as you wish and add your own finishing touches.

This is the layout I created from the January formula using papers from October Afternoon's Farmhouse which came in the January kit. It's interesting to see how other people arrange the pieces differently and it did mean the layout came together nice and quickly for me!

Have a great weekend.
