Stamp Happy - Top New Zealand Stampin' Up! Demonstrator

Something Borrowed?

I challenged myself to use the Something Borrowed Designer Series Paper and the Artisan Kit to create a timeless, "clean vintage" layout.  This one is yet another one of my girls when they were bridesmaids . . . the fact is: those photos in those colours work in so well with many of the Stampin' Up! colours!  Lucky that.

The papers are the Something Borrowed series, a lovely set of all Sahara Sand prints.  I created that background shape using the Simply Scored Border Plate - a nice effect.

I LOVE how this flower turned out!   Using only the Pansy Punch, I've crinkled it up in my hand, inked the edges and layered them together.   That gorgeous embellishment in the centre is also from the Something Borrowed series.  ($14.50 for 12)

Those yummy ribbon roses are from the Artisan kit, along with the velvet ribbon, too. 

And that resist paper above is one of the many FREE SaleABration offerings - order now before March 31 when they disappear!!  Shopping list below:

Enjoy your weekend!  I'm off to Nelson in the morning to spend the day crafting with the ladies there!

Best Day Ever Pretty Pastels Scrapbooking Layout

This is a quick to put together layout great for showcasing pretty papers!  Here I've used the coordinating SaleABration Products (Best Day Ever stamp set with the Best Year Ever Designer Series Papers and Accessory Pack) to create a "no thinking" project!

Coordinating paper packs make it easy to match up prints.  I've used five different prints on the above layout!

Now just because a stamp image is "all in one" doesn't mean you can't separate them. The title above is all one stamp. I just stamped the cardstock and cut the words apart.

Strategically cut strips of paper to capture a perfect row of a print.  The flower is made with the new Flower Medallion punch, which layers up so nicely with the Pansy Punch.

Any of the above printed papers, the stamp set, or the ribbon & buttons are FREE with any order of $110 - no limit!

Circle of Love Scrapbooking Layout

Merry Christmas, Readers!  My posts over the next few weeks will be sparse due to a few large home projects we need to finish as well as just enjoying the summer in New Zealand!  I hope you also have a nice little break from your usual routine over this holiday season.

But today I want to share with you a remake of a scrapbooking layout I did years back - now updated using current products and the latest family photo:

Next time we will coordinate our clothes a bit better, but I got it to work in the end!

And actually, it's a good layout idea for tying all the colours in a particular photo together.

Nevermind my strand of hair.

Each circle is printed papers, embossed scraps, stamped, or embellished with butterfly punches or buttons.

Great way to use up scraps and that last button in the pack!

Taught this in Hamilton a few weeks ago, and it was great fun to see what everyone designed; each of us has a unique twist on any given "template".

Merry Christmas again to all!  Thank you for all your encouragement, support, and time!

 

@TheBeach Scrapbooking Layout

I don't know what I used before the 'most loved' hardwood stamp came along!

I was asked to create a Beach Layout for our emerging summer and Christmas - hence why I made sure to include some red on this one.  I found some great old photos from about four years ago; this was the first time Rob took us out on his jet ski.

The background is created using the Hardwood stamp image and cutting "planks".

I'm giving my students tonight and this weekend a lot of liberty in choosing their papers and ribbons, but here I have used the Flowerpot papers and the Real Red cotton ribbon.   The photos are more of a grey colour, but I wanted to add some bright colour to this happy memory.

Plus the addition of the red makes it very suitable for summer Christmas photos.

I fussed with this element for a long time, but am super happy with the results!   That Perfect Pennants stamp set has certainly also been well used in my layouts . . each one is just so great for loving photos.

The Baked Brown Sugar thick twine was also a good colour match and a good "nautical weight".  The trickiest part will be getting everyone's knot just so!  :)

I do like to add subtle details, while keeping the whole of the layout relatively simple to the eye.   Here I've added a smaller sub title in the corner, as well as drawn some faded, red lines to mimic notebook paper.

Next year I plan to have scrapbooking classes in Nelson, Auckland, Hamilton, and Tauranga.  I am open to more places - just need a venue and about 6+ attendees.   I am also planning to offer Online Classes for those who just cannot attend a hands-on class!  Stay tuned!

All Abloom & Flower Frenzy Scrapbooking Layout

Friday night and everybody is out at the Breaker's game except me!  I quite enjoy an evening at home alone once in a while. Once I finish this, it's a hot bath and a facial for me, after a big day of packing for a class in Nelson tomorrow.

Inspired by a much more subtle layout on Pinterest, the All Abloom paper stack was just the perfect match with these fun and crazy pictures Rob, Kjirsti, and I took earlier this year at the Stampin' Up! Convention in Melbourne.

This is actually a quick layout to do because much of the interest is right in the photos.

The background is kept simple with a few Daydream Medallion images stamped on like coffee cup marks.  And the printed paper ties all the colours together.

The flowers were super easy when die cut with the Flower Frenzy die.  I backed them with our Coaster Board for a bit of weight to them.  And I loved the little colored staple in the middle - coloured in with the Crumb Cake Blendabilities pens.

 

The Crumb Cake paper is the reverse side of the Under the Tree Christmas papers - so lovely!  And the little detail at the bottom is from the Striped Scallop Die, one that I haven't used much up to now, but can see the possibilities!

Choose Happiness was one of the first stamp sets I bought and have not used it nearly enough! So I wanted to use it here, and it's a nice saying with those photos, too.

Only Rob would put on a pink wig and take pictures of himself . . . .

Flashback Project Life-Style Layout

I've been a bit slack this week in blogging due to having the kids home for the school holidays!  But I have completely cleaned the kitchen, and that feels really good!!

This layout was inspired by one that was in the Stampin' Up! catalogue a couple years ago; I've always liked it and recreated it with current product:

I loved that I could get so many photos onto this layout while still having a nice design and interesting elements. 

It's important to allow for a bit of journaling on your layouts. Those are the parts that will mean the most in future years.  

As you can see, I divided the elements on the page with a bit of paper piercing.

 

Most of the embellishmetns here are done with stamps and scrap paper - the beauty of scrapbooking!  The Around the World stamp set has a lot of images that are so useful for scrapbooking travel pages AND masculine cards!  Check it out!

Flower Patch Vintage Scrapbooking Layout - Together At Last!

I used a beautiful card by Jen Arkfield as my inspiration for this layout - thank you!   The Flower Patch bundle has sooo many images in it, it's easy to create any sort of flower bouquet or spray or border you wish:

The Tyepset papers are truly a must-have for any paper crafter.  They are so lovely and neutral to work with.  I clipped across the top with the new Spiral Border Punch to add  bit more eclectic look.

The Baked Brown Sugar Twine was split into three for a finer look, but a bit more substantial than the Linen Thread.  The Antique brads were perfect . . .  as they always are.  Can't get enough of those!

I had a lot of ink pads out, I must admit.  Blackberry Bliss, Coastal Cabana, Bermuda Bay, So Saffron, Crushed Curry, Pistachio Pudding, and Old Olive.  But it was well worth it!

The Perfect Print alphabet was truly perfect.  Last night we watched a movie set in the 1920's, and it just fit my mood as well.  And I really mean this title. Rob is my perfect match (not perfect, but perfect for me), and I feel like he's just filled a lonliness I've felt for so very long.  If you've met him, you know just what I mean.  

It's so rewarding to express my feelings in an art form, one that so many can enjoy, mostly him. Even if you are not a "scrapbooker", consider making one or two layouts to frame and honour those you love so much.  Beginners always welcome at class!!

First Give Thanks Typeset Scrapbooking Layout

The Typeset papers are fast a favorite!  Neutral yet interesting - you get 24 sheets of 12x12 black and vanilla prints in a pack!

Here I have paired one of the prints with Cherry Cobbler for a Vintage Layout with some photos I've been wanting to scrapbook for years:

These are my two youngest daughters having their first cranberry experience.

The title is created using one of the framelits from the Apothecary Accents and the letters from the Little Letters dies.

And these yummy flowers and the leaves are from the new Flower Frenzy die!   I've just cut several of the same flower and curled them in opposite directions to create the base.

The journaling tag and the side are stamped with a new photopolymer set called Bordering Blooms - all of the images are lovely, but I chose these vines for a more Autumn feel.

Two strips of the Typeset papers create a bordered background.  My little Give Thanks tag is from the stamp set And Many More, a nice little one with a lot of unique little sayings in it.  Here, the sentiment was in a horizontal line, so I just cut the two words in half and positioned them on my stamp block as above.  Easy!

All is Calm Joy Scrapbooking Layout

I do love my Stampin' Up! Scrapbooking pages!  It's been really fun using so many of the really beautiful new products available in the Holiday Catalogue!

This is one I recently shared in Nelson at a class I taught down there - it was fun to see how differently people took this design and made it their own:

I know many Kiwis do not prefer to use snowflakes, but I see them as beautiful alternative to flowers. 

The papers are from the BEAUTIFUL All is Calm series of papers - love these!  And in reality, I've only used about half a sheet of paper here for accents.

The snowflakes dies are from the new Snowflake Thinlits card die set.  They are very fine and delicate.  The new Silver Glimmer paper is also stunning.

The white snowflakes and the silver sequins are the new Frosted Sequins pack - and you get 450 of them for $10.95!

My title here is from a Christmas die set, Wonderful Wreath, which coordinate with the Wondrous Wreath set.  However, the word "joy" certainly is not only Christmas - it's perfect for a scrapbooking layout.

And the I Love You title is from the Good Greetings stamp set - such a CUTE set!  Very fun little font and so many cool sayings.  This one is only available through October!

The background is made using the new Masks - one of the best values in the book! Get two masks for only $5.95.    I've simply sponged through the dots one here with Smokey Slate for the effect.

And here I've used the Little Letters dies, but not the die cuts, but rather the negative image left behind. I thought this was a fun idea -

A splatter of the silver ink and some punched out stars . . .

The same star punch pack also comes with this little flower punch.  And notice I colored those pearls in with the new Blendabilities pens - LOVE this option!

And that's my little sofie when she was about one. xxxxx

Come see me at the Hamilton Quilt and Craft Show next week!  I will have this layout and others on display, as well as doing a 20 minute presentation on the new Project Life range!

Hello Lovely Color-Blocking Scrapbooking Layout

I thought this was a great layout on page 157 of our current catalogue and all year wanted to re-create it and finally did it!  This is a fun project to do - with each square being a little work of art in and of itself:

This layout features the Hello Lovely stamp set, one that I have used quite a bit this last year on scrapbooking.

Using the Stripes Embossing Folder on the Cordinations cardstock (ALL of which is being deleted by the way!!!), a light sand brings out a lovely texture.  I've always liked the look of a little distressing on bright colours.

There is a little sneak peek here of the Sweetheart Heart Punch, one that comes in a great little pack of three (a star and a flower also included).

"One Day" Vintage Fresh Prints Layout

Last January, Rob and I had the opportunity to run up to Russell (north north Island) for the weekend and use a friend's bach.  My eldest, Madeleine, surprised us and wanted to go with.  It was a fun day, doing what we pleased and enjoying each other's company.  On a whim, we dressed up and had this spontaneous photo shoot:

The colours we wore were perfect for the Fresh Prints stack, so I wanted to get this done before they are deleted in a few weeks!!   

The background is a series of the Hexagon Punch with a simple banner using the Pennant Punch.

This flower is made from our lovely Linen Thread, one of my favorite and "most consumed" products.

Sadly, the Fabulous Phrases set is also being retired - one that I've used quite a bit for both cardmaking and scrapbooking layouts.  Here, I've white embossed it and flagged the end using the Banner Punch.

A title using the Typeset Alphabet and a sprinkle of Gold Sequins finishes this one nicely.  

It was a great day - I'm very pleased to have captured this special memory.

Vintage Masculine Scrapbooking Layout

This is a very special project designed for a friend who wanted to scrapbook her father who has recently passed away.  It was a challenge for me - masculine adult and vintage are both themes I don't do a great deal in my layouts.

Was good!  I asked my mother for some digital scans of my grandfather and opted to use this special one of him at our old grand piano.

I did not crop this photo on purpose - too cute!  This is my office; I'm so lucky to work at home with these munchkins keeping me company.

The background is created with the Hardwood stamp and the Flowering Flourishes stamp set.    The musical circle is the Naturals Composition papers inked up with Early Espresso.

The border banners are done featuring the Etcetera papers - ones which I adore. They have an unusual colour combination, and it's quite striking! 

The little journaling tag tucked behind the photo is made using the Angled Tag Topper punch and a few more stamps.  It's important to add the journaling, and hidden tags are a nice way to include items you may not want public or that detract from the design.

Please join us for our next Scrapbooking classes!

Retro Fresh More Masculine Layout ~~

I had to write "more masculine" on this because it IS of my youngest daughter . . . gender-neutral might be better!   The Retro Fresh Designer Series Papers are quite good for male or female style layouts.

This layout goes outside my usual style of straight lines and is more of a casual look with lots of little details.

The use of the clothespins and the journaling tags was fun!  I've kept to my goal this year to include journaling on all my layouts - these are the things that will be treasured in the future, I believe.    A bit of washi tape and some splatters from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set create a colourful background.

I am so addicted to the Coredinations paper!!  I love how it can be sanded up for a bit of interest, but doesn't add to much "shabby" if you don't want.  And left alone, it's just a nice, textured card.  Wonderful!

The edges are not only sanded, but also faux stitched with the White Gel Pen.

My title is die cut using the Typeset Alphabet Letters and embellished with the necessary heart.  :)   The small tagline is from One in a Million, a nice set that has some warm fuzzy little sayings in it.

Epic Day Clean & Simple Scrapbooking Layout

It's nice to do a family layout showcasing all of us.    These fun pictures were perfect for the colourful palette of the Epic Day Stampin' Up! papers:

The layout is relatively simple, making full use of the different papers in the Epic Day series.  The half circles in the background add a nice scallop feature and showcase whichever prints and colours you want to emphasize.

I love the way this title turned out!  I've used the Chalk Talk stamps and dies here. The background is embossed with the Wild Wasabi embossing powder onto Pool Party card.    Yum!    The addition of the bundle of Linen Thread is just perfect to add that "natural" element with the bright colours.

A bit of the fantastic Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and the Epic Day washi tape makes a perfect little accent.

And the obligatory heart - each of my layouts has a heart on it. Either prominent or hidden.  I find the Owl Punch has a great little heart on it for that tiny detail.  

Love this family!  xxxxx

Sweet Sorbet Bliss Sweetheart Layout

I know you "may" be getting tired of seeing pictures from my wedding from nearly 18 months ago, BUT they are nice pictures and the dress fabric we chose just happens to work really well with the Sweet Sorbet papers.

Couldn't pass it up!

 

I used a PageMaps Map for this one:

These lovely papers are available for a few weeks only and are part of the SaleABration promotion - buy any products equalling $110 or more and receive these papers FREE!

The Scallop Tag Topper Punch was just the right feminine touch for a subtitle.  I used the Quite the Pair stamp set for the "sweet" and the Heart Punch for the "sweetheart" on the tag.

The Banner Punch has proven to be quite useful over the last few weeks . . .  a nice way to use and show off the other coordinating prints in this pack.

A little bit of the Cork Embellishments, also from SaleABration, and another word stamp from Quite the Pair to finish it off.  It's not true getting the girls to all agree on the dresses was exactly bliss, but I must say the day itself was nearly perfect.  And the girls looked beautiful.

Join me for my next Scrapbooking Day!

Hamilton/Gordonton April 5 Saturday 10 am to about 4:30 pm   $40 and we will be doing three layouts.  All materials included except adhesives.

Watercolor Wonder You & Me Scrapbooking Layout

I do love my scrapbooking pages and these days am leaning towards clean with subtle details.  The Watercolor Wonder papers are just beautiful and were one of my "topics" to present at STamp Camp.

Here is the layout I designed using these lovelies:

These papers have a lot of yelllows and orange prints, but you can see I dismissed those for these particular photos.  Yes you can do that!  :)

This little tag was made using the new Tag Topper Punch - so easy!  I actually just found this scrap of the Natural Composition papers when I was looking for something else  . .. bonus!  See - this is why we keep "stuff" . . . .

I bought the Perfect Pennants stamp set largely because all the images in there are great for titles.  They aren't the "usual" sayings, either, for cards.   This image above is wonderful - and perfect for this particular layout when I took Madeleine, my then 12 year old daughter,  on the Stampin' Up! trip to Hamilton Island in 2010 during my single years.  A special time during some pretty hard times.

A little curl on the paper and the addition of a bit of texture through this yummy Naturals ribbon is enough detail to keep it interesting.

I am sending out the March newsletter with upcoming events and a special bundle offer today! Please let me know if you don't receive your copy!

Fresh Prints and Simple Stems Scrapbooking Layout

It's always so inspiring to have a clean table and some new images and papers! 

When I got these new papers, I knew instantly I had to scrapbook this adorable photos of my sofie with them.  Doesn't matter these are from 2006 - I say scrapbooking the photos that inspire you no matter how old or out of order they are!  :)

The new seasonal catalogue has a great new paper stack, Fresh Prints, featuring the fresh colour combo of Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Crumb Cake.

I've also used the stamp set,  Simple Stems.  Beautiful, clean images in this one.

I wasn't so sure about a big sparkly heart with the more rustic colours, but actually, when I softened it up with the paper doily beneath . . quite nice.

The title here is using the Expressions Thinlits Dies, and sadly these will not be available after Feb 1.  I used it anyway - it was just too perfect.

Soho Subway Scrapbooking Layout

I sooo love these Soho Subway papers!  What fun and unexpected colours and exciting, graphical images!   This layout came together easily and quickly, thanks so my daughter finding THE perfect picture and Stampin' Up! for creating coordinating accessories.

The layout looks "complicated" due to the very busy background papers, but you'll find upon closer inspection, there really isn't much to it.

The title is a couple of simple layers from the Hello Lovely stamp set, a real winner with scrapbooking.  I think this is the fourth layout I've used it!

I'm just looking for opportunities to use the Chevron Punch - love it.   I've also made it a goal for all my layouts next year to include journaling.

Wonderful You Scrapbooking Layout JAI 22

I had this with all good intentions ready to create last month for the Just Add Ink Scrapbooking Challenge, but alas, it was never finished until well into November.  Ah, so the way it goes with designing sometimes!! 

I did appreciate the sketch, though, for some inspiration! I pretty much followed the sketch as is:

I used the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper as my starting point.   Sofie was very pleased to have "her turn again" with the topic of my class layouts. 

I was quite pleased how this title worked out with a bit of math and fiddling!  Very cute look and a fun take on the flag craze we love to much in our crafting projects these days.

The "I love you" die is from the new Thinlit Label Card die - such a great embellishment for any sort of crafting.  That collection also comes with arrows - must use on next page!!

It took me a long time to work out these flowers and what looked "right" for what I was envisioning.  I've used the Mixed Bunch stamp set here and a variety of our floral punches. 

Join us in Tauranga this Saturday to make this and two other layouts!

Fresh Prints and Simple Stems Scrapbooking Layout

Fresh Prints Altered Notebook - my cruise journal!

Fresh Prints Quick & Easy Thank You Cards

This is a very special project designed for a friend who wanted to scrapbook her father who has recently passed away.  It was a challenge for me - masculine adult and vintage are both themes I don't do a great deal in my layouts.

Was good!  I asked my mother for some digital scans of my grandfather and opted to use this special one of him at our old grand piano.

I did not crop this photo on purpose - too cute!  This is my office; I'm so lucky to work at home with these munchkins keeping me company.

The background is created with the Hardwood stamp and the Flowering Flourishes stamp set.    The musical circle is the Naturals Composition papers inked up with Early Espresso.

The border banners are done featuring the Etcetera papers - ones which I adore. They have an unusual colour combination, and it's quite striking! 

The little journaling tag tucked behind the photo is made using the Angled Tag Topper punch and a few more stamps.  It's important to add the journaling, and hidden tags are a nice way to include items you may not want public or that detract from the design.

Please join us for our next Scrapbooking classes!

I had to write "more masculine" on this because it IS of my youngest daughter . . . gender-neutral might be better!   The Retro Fresh Designer Series Papers are quite good for male or female style layouts.

This layout goes outside my usual style of straight lines and is more of a casual look with lots of little details.

The use of the clothespins and the journaling tags was fun!  I've kept to my goal this year to include journaling on all my layouts - these are the things that will be treasured in the future, I believe.    A bit of washi tape and some splatters from the Gorgeous Grunge stamp set create a colourful background.

I am so addicted to the Coredinations paper!!  I love how it can be sanded up for a bit of interest, but doesn't add to much "shabby" if you don't want.  And left alone, it's just a nice, textured card.  Wonderful!

The edges are not only sanded, but also faux stitched with the White Gel Pen.

My title is die cut using the Typeset Alphabet Letters and embellished with the necessary heart.  :)   The small tagline is from One in a Million, a nice set that has some warm fuzzy little sayings in it.

Retro Fresh Masculine File Folder Card

Venetian Romance Vintage Layout

It's nice to do a family layout showcasing all of us.    These fun pictures were perfect for the colourful palette of the Epic Day Stampin' Up! papers:

The layout is relatively simple, making full use of the different papers in the Epic Day series.  The half circles in the background add a nice scallop feature and showcase whichever prints and colours you want to emphasize.

I love the way this title turned out!  I've used the Chalk Talk stamps and dies here. The background is embossed with the Wild Wasabi embossing powder onto Pool Party card.    Yum!    The addition of the bundle of Linen Thread is just perfect to add that "natural" element with the bright colours.

A bit of the fantastic Gorgeous Grunge stamp set and the Epic Day washi tape makes a perfect little accent.

And the obligatory heart - each of my layouts has a heart on it. Either prominent or hidden.  I find the Owl Punch has a great little heart on it for that tiny detail.  

Love this family!  xxxxx

Epic Day Scrapbooking Layout - Clean & Simple

Grunge Masculine Card MOJO305

Epic Day Pocket Mini Album

I know you "may" be getting tired of seeing pictures from my wedding from nearly 18 months ago, BUT they are nice pictures and the dress fabric we chose just happens to work really well with the Sweet Sorbet papers.

Couldn't pass it up!

 

I used a PageMaps Map for this one:

These lovely papers are available for a few weeks only and are part of the SaleABration promotion - buy any products equalling $110 or more and receive these papers FREE!

The Scallop Tag Topper Punch was just the right feminine touch for a subtitle.  I used the Quite the Pair stamp set for the "sweet" and the Heart Punch for the "sweetheart" on the tag.

The Banner Punch has proven to be quite useful over the last few weeks . . .  a nice way to use and show off the other coordinating prints in this pack.

A little bit of the Cork Embellishments, also from SaleABration, and another word stamp from Quite the Pair to finish it off.  It's not true getting the girls to all agree on the dresses was exactly bliss, but I must say the day itself was nearly perfect.  And the girls looked beautiful.

Join me for my next Scrapbooking Day!

Hamilton/Gordonton April 5 Saturday 10 am to about 4:30 pm   $40 and we will be doing three layouts.  All materials included except adhesives.

Scallop Tag Topper Closure Card

I do love my scrapbooking pages and these days am leaning towards clean with subtle details.  The Watercolor Wonder papers are just beautiful and were one of my "topics" to present at STamp Camp.

Here is the layout I designed using these lovelies:

These papers have a lot of yelllows and orange prints, but you can see I dismissed those for these particular photos.  Yes you can do that!  :)

This little tag was made using the new Tag Topper Punch - so easy!  I actually just found this scrap of the Natural Composition papers when I was looking for something else  . .. bonus!  See - this is why we keep "stuff" . . . .

I bought the Perfect Pennants stamp set largely because all the images in there are great for titles.  They aren't the "usual" sayings, either, for cards.   This image above is wonderful - and perfect for this particular layout when I took Madeleine, my then 12 year old daughter,  on the Stampin' Up! trip to Hamilton Island in 2010 during my single years.  A special time during some pretty hard times.

A little curl on the paper and the addition of a bit of texture through this yummy Naturals ribbon is enough detail to keep it interesting.

I am sending out the March newsletter with upcoming events and a special bundle offer today! Please let me know if you don't receive your copy!

 

It's always so inspiring to have a clean table and some new images and papers! 

When I got these new papers, I knew instantly I had to scrapbook this adorable photos of my sofie with them.  Doesn't matter these are from 2006 - I say scrapbooking the photos that inspire you no matter how old or out of order they are!  :)

The new seasonal catalogue has a great new paper stack, Fresh Prints, featuring the fresh colour combo of Real Red, Coastal Cabana, and Crumb Cake.

I've also used the stamp set,  Simple Stems.  Beautiful, clean images in this one.

I wasn't so sure about a big sparkly heart with the more rustic colours, but actually, when I softened it up with the paper doily beneath . . quite nice.

The title here is using the Expressions Thinlits Dies, and sadly these will not be available after Feb 1.  I used it anyway - it was just too perfect.

I sooo love these Soho Subway papers!  What fun and unexpected colours and exciting, graphical images!   This layout came together easily and quickly, thanks so my daughter finding THE perfect picture and Stampin' Up! for creating coordinating accessories.

The layout looks "complicated" due to the very busy background papers, but you'll find upon closer inspection, there really isn't much to it.

The title is a couple of simple layers from the Hello Lovely stamp set, a real winner with scrapbooking.  I think this is the fourth layout I've used it!

I'm just looking for opportunities to use the Chevron Punch - love it.   I've also made it a goal for all my layouts next year to include journaling.

I had this with all good intentions ready to create last month for the Just Add Ink Scrapbooking Challenge, but alas, it was never finished until well into November.  Ah, so the way it goes with designing sometimes!! 

I did appreciate the sketch, though, for some inspiration! I pretty much followed the sketch as is:

I used the Winter Frost Designer Series Paper as my starting point.   Sofie was very pleased to have "her turn again" with the topic of my class layouts. 

I was quite pleased how this title worked out with a bit of math and fiddling!  Very cute look and a fun take on the flag craze we love to much in our crafting projects these days.

The "I love you" die is from the new Thinlit Label Card die - such a great embellishment for any sort of crafting.  That collection also comes with arrows - must use on next page!!

It took me a long time to work out these flowers and what looked "right" for what I was envisioning.  I've used the Mixed Bunch stamp set here and a variety of our floral punches. 

Join us in Tauranga this Saturday to make this and two other layouts!

"One Day" Vintage Fresh Prints Layout

Last January, Rob and I had the opportunity to run up to Russell (north north Island) for the weekend and use a friend's bach.  My eldest, Madeleine, surprised us and wanted to go with.  It was a fun day, doing what we pleased and enjoying each other's company.  On a whim, we dressed up and had this spontaneous photo shoot:

The colours we wore were perfect for the Fresh Prints stack, so I wanted to get this done before they are deleted in a few weeks!!   

The background is a series of the Hexagon Punch with a simple banner using the Pennant Punch.

This flower is made from our lovely Linen Thread, one of my favorite and "most consumed" products.

Sadly, the Fabulous Phrases set is also being retired - one that I've used quite a bit for both cardmaking and scrapbooking layouts.  Here, I've white embossed it and flagged the end using the Banner Punch.

A title using the Typeset Alphabet and a sprinkle of Gold Sequins finishes this one nicely.  

It was a great day - I'm very pleased to have captured this special memory.
