Sisters...


Just thought I would show you another simple 8.5"x11" layout that I have done.  In this layout I have used the Bo Bunny Gabrielle Collection.  This has to be one of my favourite collections from the Bo Bunny range.    I just love the warm colours and the papers are stunning.

I have used a photo that I really love.  This is my mum's wedding and these are her sisters.  Lynn is the lady holding the baby and Andrea "Flo" is the baby.  It is such a lovely photo and works so well with these papers.



I have used a Marth Stewart Deep Edger Punch - Doily Lace Trim to make an additional element to the page.  I have also used an offcut of the same cardstock to use to make my title.


This range has some stunning embellishements.  This butterfly is from 12" Chipboard and is so easy to use because it has adhesive on the back.

I am so loving doing simple and easy layouts.

Thanks for stopping by.

Canvas with Nathalie Kalbach...


We were lucky to have the talented Nathalie Kalbach come to Pages 2 Scrap to teach her Free Your Creativity Canvas.  I was so glad that I got the chance to actually do the class too.  The class was totally amazing and so much fun.  I learnt so much about all the Tattered Angels products.  Glimmer Mist, Chalkboard Glimmer Mist, Glimmer Glam & Glimmer Glaze.  We got to use all the products on this canvas which is way cool.



We used Glimmer Screens and Gesso to create some cool dimension to the canvas.  I just love the way that the Glimmer products pool in the lumps and bumps on the canvas.  I just love how all the colours interact with each other and how they blend together to create new colours.


We also got to use the georgeous products from Vintaj Natural Brass Co.  We now have a great range of these in store at Pages 2 Scrap.  It just amazes me what a difference adding these to the canvas can make.  We still have a few of the kits left in store.  I think I will be getting another one.

Thanks for stopping by.

Got Your Nose...


I have to say that I really love doing 8.5" x 11" layouts.  I had a friend come over on Friday night to do a little crafting and well after we stopped to watch the royal wedding it was getting pretty late.  But we said that we had to atleast finish something.  So once I finally picked a photo that I wanted to scrap and realised that it was already 11.30pm, I decided to do a 8.5" x 11" layout. 

I just find this size layout nice and easy to do.    I just love this picture of Will getting Joe's nose.  It is just so cute and the look on Joe's face is so soft and gentle (the real him).

I have used Jillibean Soup Monster Stew papers and cardstock stickers.  I wanted this to be a very simple and basic layout (I was very tired).


The cardstock stickers in this range are fantastic.  I used the letters for the title.  I mixed both upper and lower case in the title.  After I did the title I wanted to add a little something extra but did not want to overdo it.  So I decided to just make some little spots using my journalling pen.  It is amazing just want a difference it can make.


I again used the cardstock stickers on the bottom section of the layout.  I mounted the stickers with mounting squares to add a little dimension.  I then used my journaling pen to make more dots and some doodles.

Thanks for stopping by.
