Elle's Studio | Guest Designer!

Hey everyone! I just wanted to let you know that I have contributed to the mini course for October, over at Elle's Studio. I got to play alongside fellow Aussies - Natalie Elphinstone & Joy Taylor, who I think are extremely talented!! 

Here's a little sneak peek of what I've created...

You can find more details here. I hope you will go and check it out. Thanks for visiting..x

Greatest View | Cafe Club...

Hello Friends.  Today I am sharing a layout that's up on the Greatest View blog.  It is featuring the most gorgeous Woodgrain Style badges/flair!  And plenty of Elle's Studio Serendipity from The Scrapbook Store.

"Café Club"

 

products used: pp - Elle's Studio Serendipity; alpha - American Crafts chipboard thickers; Greatest View: wood grain style badge, sequins; other - Elle's Studio: Lil' Snipets, cutouts; Manor House flower vine, Zva Creative bling, twine, kraft tag, Kaisercraft pearls, shimmerz mist; tools - black pen, hole punch.

I've also used the rest of the Manor House flower vine that I cut up to use here.  The Zva Creative bling layered beneath the vine adds to the beauty of the flower.  And considering I'm not really "into" creating with flowers...! LOL!  I must admit that I do love these ones from Manor House.  I've used the hot pink (The Scrapbook Store have now sold out of this colour).

The Greatest View Woodgrain Style badges can also be found at The Scrapbook Store.  I love how they work perfectly with the Elle's Studio Serendipity collection.

The story? Well..  My daughter's paternal grandparents have always taken her to coffee shops and cafes since before she could walk.  *grin*  It is their little tradition and way of spending quality time together.  I wanted to document  this story even though I am not a part of their café club.  :)

If you would like to learn more about how I put this layout together, please visit Greatest View here.  Thanks so much for taking the time to visit me..x

 

The Scrapbook Store | Always Be You...

Hi Everyone! I'm back today to share with you another layout using my DT kit from The Scrapbook Store. 

 

"Always Be You"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Elle's Studio Serendipity, American Crafts Amy Tan; other - Elle's Studio: cutouts, Lil' Snippets favourite things; staple, mist, ink; tools - Fiskars small circle punch, Martha Stewart 1" circle punch, small circle punch, Amy Tangerine date stamp, black pen.

I really love these patterned papers from the Elle's Studio Serendipity collection.  So much so that even though it doesn't look like there are many papers here, I think I have used a little bit of every piece of patterned paper sent to me! A great way to use up those extra scraps that "I" just can't part with.  *grin*

Since my beautiful boy was picking flowers for me, I decided I wanted to use up my scraps in circle form.  A repetition of the flower he's holding in the photo.  It was as simple as choosing three different circle punches and going to work.

 

And you might notice that I have still got my favourite colour combination happening here.  Pink, teal, gray and yellow. yes... well, I might grow out of it soon.  *grin*... Thanks for visiting..x
