A Christmas page without a Christmas print? I love this fun layout of our breakfast in the park on Christmas morning. It's another layout I made using leftovers from my Taste of Summer paper pack.
The Taste of Summer (CC1038) papers were perfect for our breakfast in the park on Christmas morning
The red frame is made of 2" strips with corners mitred. I used the yellow 1/4" Washi Tape from the Carnival pack (Z3067) to give the illusion of a layer of yellow paper.
Mike and I have had a fabulous time travelling in Cornwall. It is such a pretty corner of the world.
This layout is one I adapted a little bit from the Wanderful WOTG kit. (G1088) Once again, we have taken far too many photos so I had to find a way to squeeze extras onto the page. Not shown in this photo are the Flip Flaps I will be adding to the layout at home. I'm really excited to have a pack of 15 3" x 4" Flip Flaps (Z3027)in our range now. I print most of my photos in this size and I …
This clever idea is one shared by a fellow consultant, Doris Taylor, at a recent consultant crop day. Having a tendency to crazy cat lady behaviours myself, I couldn't resist making up a couple for this card. I plan to send it to a lady I have recently met - I know we are going to become firm friends.
It is a long held tradition in our family that we try to avoid using commercial decorations for birthday parties. Since joining Close To My Heart and purchasing a Cricut machine, this task has been made so much easier!
We celebrated my Mum's 85th birthday over the weekend and I thought I'd share some of the items created by my sister and I.
Firstly, the cake! This was a delicious Red Velvet cake baked by my sister, Rhonda. The flowers and bling on the top were made of paper cut on her Cricut. T…
We just love walking around cities and looking up - all sorts of architectural delights await when you raise your eyes above the shop fronts.
For this layout I chose the Paper Fundamentals Basic Assortment Papers (Z1939). They have a monotone, glossy resist pattern on one side a pattern on the other. Both sides accept ink around the edges.
I accented my page with Wood Grain Washi tape (Z1930). For this effect, simply stick a little down, double a bit onto itself and then stick the next little b…
We stayed at a B&B on a farm just out of Narrogin last year. The cottage we were in was an original building and was quite lovely. Today's page features some orphaned lambs that were in the paddock next to our accommodation and shots of the farm.
My sister actually created this page using my photos. Isn't she so very kind? I love this layout. She based it on 'Magician's Choice", p116 of the Magic How To Book. Can you spot how much cleverness went in to these pages????
