More Bali Breeze

This is the last of the layouts I made using the Bali Breeze designer series paper from the Mini Catalogue. I love these colours - they're so bright and summery. All the paper in the Mini is beautiful and I might try a series of layouts using a different set soon (when I get a chance). I've made some cards and 3D projects to show you and I'll post them when I download the photos to my PC (hopefully soon).

Joy!

Sorry I've been away so long. I've been quite busy at work so I'm really looking forward to a nice break this long weekend. I made the page above using Fall Flowers Designer Series Paper (page 134 of the Idea Book and Catalogue). I've also used the Pretties Kit for the embellishments. Here's a close up of the flower on the bottom right hand corner of the page.

I'll try to come back in the next couple of days to show you some more projects.

This is another page I've made using the new Bali Breeze paper. I've used my new favourite stamp set, Eastern Blooms from the new mini for most of the flowers. The page border is from the Prints Designer Series Paper in Old Olive (page 136) of the Idea Book. The Laugh stamp is from the Lovely Labels Stamp set. I've also used the Stampin' Glitter from the mini for the embellishments on the semi circles and the Pretties Kit along the left of the top-left photo.

My Wonderful Friend

I decided to do some more scrapbooking and ended up finishing a number of layouts over the past week. I took out my Bali Breeze paper from the Summer Mini catalogue and used it in all my recent pages. The colours are so vibrant and easy to work with. They also go really well with the flowers from Flower Fusion on page 10. This layout is of one of my closest friends Tania as a bride's maid at my wedding. I used the scallop edge punch on the blue page. I've attached the flowers using rhinestone brads and used the Wonderful Favourites set on page 119 of the Idea Book and Catalogue for the title of the page.

Engagement Card

My cousin is having an engagement party later this month (overseas so the card has already been sent). I made this card for the happy couple using one of my favourite stamp sets, Oh, So Lovely. You can't buy this set - you have to earn it by having a workshop. If you'd like to book one in, send me an email to let me know your preferred time. Don't forget that until the end of February, you could also earn the Sale-A-Bration sets at your workshop. All you need to do is invite some friends over and I'll do the rest.

Cardstock: Purely Pomegranate, Whisper White, Soft Sky

Stamp Sets: Oh, So Lovely, En Francais, Occasional Greetings

Ink: Purely Pomegranate

Other: Silver Hodgepodge, Purely Pomegranate satin ribbon, Daubers, Blender Pens.

Waterfall Card

I made this card for my niece, Niamh who turned 4 on Sunday. She loved it because it's a bit like a toy. When you pull the little tag, the pictures move:

These waterfall cards are surpisingly easy to make and are fantastic for kids (although the adults had just as much fun playing)!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas. I'll be back with more posts in the new year.

Stamp Sets: Crab & Company, Paisley

Hi to everyone visiting from Aussie Scrapbooking! Thanks for looking. Please leave a comment to let me know you dropped by.

I seem to have a number of friends who have a birthday this month, and I made this card for another of my very close friends, Allison. I'm not sure about this one. I wanted to use some of my new goodies from the Mini catalogue, but I think I've gone a bit overboard with the punches! Hope you had a wonderful day Allison.

This will be my last post before Christmas. I wish all of you a very Merry Christmas and a safe and happy new year. If you're driving anywhere, stay safe.

Stamp Sets: Oh So Lovely hostess set, In the Stars

Another Birthday card

One of my closest friends Tania had her birthday last week and I made this card for her. I love the colours in the new Designer Series paper - Bali Breeze, so I gave myself the challenge of using the same colours: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Taken With Teal and Rose Red. These colours go really well together and make the card very bright. I wanted the ribbon to be quite bright too, so I coloured the Very Vanilla grosgrain ribbon using a Pumpkin Pie marker.

Stamp Set: Oh So Lovely

Cardstock: Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie, Taken With Teal, Very Vanilla

Ink: Rose Red, Taken With Teal, Old Olive, Pumpkin Pie

Other: Very Vanilla, Grosgrain Ribbon, Rub-on image, Flower Fusion, Rhinestone Brad
