Bake Day

sept-2-pages-page-007
I'm on the home stretch completing 2014's family album!  This layout was quick and easy.  Each year a group of friends gather to bake for Christmas.  In recent years some of our daughters have been joining us which makes it twice the fun.  This layout is a celebration of 2014's delicious creations.

I used Yuletide Carol papers (X7187B) for my background and Ruby Cardstock (X5927) for the photo mounts.  The accents and journaling cards came from the A La Carte Pea…

25 photos on a layout

I love Flip Flaps!  Belonging to a family who believe 6 photos are better than 1, I always have such a dilemma culling photos for my scrapbook layouts. Since discovering Flip Flaps my task has been made so much easier.

This was a magical day out with https://www.rockinghamwildencounters.com.au/ where we saw dozens of wild dolphins and snorkelled amongst them.  I wanted my page to feature as many photos as possible so I designed a layout …

Giggles & Grins - workshop fun

sept-2-pages-page-007
One of the things I love about being a leader with Close To My Heart is sharing in the journeys of consultants in my team.  This page brings back lovely memories of a fun filled day in a wheatbelt town creating with 3 Dazzlers (my team is know as the Dazzling Duchesses) and some of their customers. Mike was my travel buddy and he spent the day editing our photos rather than page making.

Safe Travels

sept-2-pages-page-007
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.

Hopscotch Safe travels

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.

A tug on the Heartstrings

sept-2-pages-page-007
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)

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!

Enjoy Today

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…

sept-2-pages-page-007
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.

Feeling Special

sept-2-pages-page-007
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.
