Jennifer Johner

In my strive to do some simpler layouts, and to experiment with white space, I decided to do a few scraplifts. I simply browsed through my BOS at 2 peas and chose 3 random layouts that I loved and used white space well. After starting on the second one, I realized all three were done by the same scrapper.

Meet Jennifer Johner. This chick is awesome! I love, love, love her work. I love how she sews on her layouts. I love her designs. I love how she’s a 12×12 scrapper. :)

So for my first completely blatant scraplift, we have Coolest Ride which is lifted off Jennifer’s Gymnastics layout. My layout is about the really neat experience we had when we were on the train from Copenhagen to Hamburg, particularly when our train boarded a boat. So cool.

My second layout Wall Art is lifted from her Explore layout. The journalling is a bit hard to read, but since it’s completely unimportant for this layout, I decided to make it look as if it was kinda part of the paper. I think that worked.

Swiss Bears is lifted from Jennifer’s You are my sunshine. I usually have issues putting ‘distressed’ paper with clean cardstock. I’ve decided now that it’s OK. I mean, I see other people do it all the time, it just didn’t seem right to me—until now. On this layout I was also experiment with some new handwriting styles. I love this one. I think this will make an appearance on many more layouts in the future. :)

I didn’t stop there, though. I was having so much fun with Jennifer’s layouts, I decided to do one more. I fell in love with her Water Bug layout as soon as I saw it. My take Favourite Spot is about a little place in Münich that I simply adore. I think it’s now my favourite layout.

Talk about inspiration. I’m filled with ideas and inspirations, and I just can’t wait to scrap. Now that I’ve done some layouts with white space, I’m ready to tackle it in my own designs.

Thank you Jennifer!!!
