Welcome to the April Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Maz's Blog, Inky Fingers you are in the right place. This is a circular hop, click through to the blog mentioned at the end of each post and you will find yourself back here. There’s a lot of inspiration and creativity shared in the cards, pages and projects created by 14 of my sister consultants using Typed Noted, Stamp of the Month (S1504). Enjoy!
This Layout is inspired by page 16 of CTMH's 'Cheri…
I'm powering through my 2014 pages! Up to June already. It's hard to believe this was the beginning of Kathryn and James 6 month journey to Uganda and Europe. They've been home and gone again since these photos were taken.
March is the final month we can order Hopscotch papers and I just had to open one more pack - I have loved using this collection. The colours and patterns have just worked with so many different page themes.
I used the stickers from the collection, called Complements in CTMH…
One of my favourite paper packs is retiring ... I had to buy myself one last pack :)
Heartstrings has proved to be so very versatile for me. I have used it on Wedding/love pages as it was intended but mostly it's been used with photos relating to other themes. Today I've used it with some Beauty School Dropouts I hang around with. (Apologies for the poor photo quality. I left my camera at a function so had to use my dodgy phone camera)
This was a 20 minute page. A 5" x 12" strip across the bot…
Convention is one of the highlights in my CTMH year. Consultants from all over Australia and New Zealand gather to share ideas and learn together. This page was made at convention last October. I learnt some nifty tricks for using stamps as page accents. I love that I didn't have to think them up myself to share with you!
The papers are from a couple of different packs. Don't you love the way all the papers co-ordinate across the range? Seaside (X7192B) and Wanderful (X7191B) work so well t…
The Perth Fringe Festival is a fun filled month of creativity and vitality. Our family enjoy going to a variety of performances and supporting up and coming actors, dancers, singers and circus performers. This page features photos Mike took as we wandered through the streets of Northbridge before a show.
It's a super simple layout using papers from Yuletide Carol - who'd have thought Christmas papers would look great with street scapes.
Mike captured Kathryn and James messing around on Instagram…

When I arrived home from Hawaii this gorgeous page, along with a certificate and a beautiful let, was waiting for me. I feel very special to be recognised as one of the top sellers in Close To My Heart Australia for 2014. I love the very personal touch of this recognition - the fact someone in Head office took the time to create this page just for me is lovely.
If you would like to copy the layout you will need Hopscotch papers and complements plus Marquee Uppercase and Keyboard Uppercase Stamp…
Mike and I were so very proud of our daughter the night she graduated from the University of Western Australia. She is a beautiful person inside and out and we hope she fulfils her dream to help the lives of those less fortunate than her.
This page was a joy to make. I knew the Great Job Stamp Set (C1588) was perfect. It's lovely swirls just feel like a celebration. I wanted the left hand page to be all about Kathryn so chose just one photo to include on it. Our 'proud parents' shots had to …
This fun layout came from page 36 of the Reflections How To Book. I love that the layouts in this book have very simple designs you can dress up.
The Outdoor Denim strips have been scored using the Scoreboard and then sanded to expose a little of the white core. This adds great texture. The Hopscotch papers were perfect for my photos and the little concentric circles stamp from the WOTG kit added a nice accent to my Colonial White circles behind the title. How pretty does the NEW Blue Shimmer …
I am so happy with the way these pages turned out. I have loved using the Heartstrings Papers and these were the last scraps left in the pack! I think that is one of the greatest joys of using CTMH paper packs... I actually USE it all and don't have to store it. I usually make 8-12 pages from one pack if I add in some extra card for page bases or, as in this case, work directly on a CM album page.
The flowers are all from this month's Stamp of the Month, A Happy Hello. Some were stamped direc…
