The pages are made by tracing around some scallop circle Bazzill. I then cut the circle into 2 and then cut one of the halves into two again. I have five sections in the book, each one started with the "Memorable" stamp and the title of the show garden I am focussing one. Each section is made up using 1 semi-circle and 1 quarter-circle in the middle. They are all sewn together using modified book binding stitches ( I say modified because I can't remember the correct way to do them! ). The cover was made using Prima's embossed chipboard. My scallop hand-cutting skill unfortunately did not stretch to chipboard.
Naturally I started with the "Best in Show".
On the 1/4 circle pages, I stamped journalling blocks ( embellished with stickle ).
But this last one is from the "A garden for George" show garden. I love that this garden is slightly whimsical, with a lot of colours containing a giant photo of George Harrison and even a temple.

Ifa,
You are very creative, you know I sometimes scrapbook too, but I am at a loss when it comes to creativity. My pages all tend to have the same design. But I only scrapbook when I am in the mood and that is like once in a blue moon.
