Meet Charlotte's Dream...

I love the colours in this collection... they work so well together!

So my layout, heritage of course! lol



My card...

And my off-the-page....


The little Tim Holtz Configurations boxes make great shadow boxes. And are the colours just gorgeous!!!!

Now when the world slows a little I will take pics of what I did at retreat... might be a couple of weeks yet life doesn't look like it's slowing any time in the near future!

It's Fine & Sunny...

Of course it is... and that's the name of the new range for Kaisercraft this month.

It's a really bright and funky range perfect for a lot of different projects...

Let's try a card for a new arrival...









Or a bit of wall art to hold your keys....









Or create a simple layout...







See... very versatile!

Hyden!

We had an absolute ball yet again!
Thanks Karen for a wonderful weekend. It was great to catch up with everyone again and this time I was more relaxed I think teaching.
Last time was the first time I had ever taught a class and it was an experience, but this time I knew what to expect and was more relaxed.

I taught 2 classes over the weekend.
The first was this heritage layout using the gorgeous These Days papers...



And yes it is very similar to the layout I did for Kaisercraft the other month. But it works well either way I think and are 2 wonderful samples.

The other class I taught was 2 versions of the same layout...
One using Kaisercraft Technologic and the other Tiger Lily.
I didn't get to play with the ranges for Kaisercraft as I was doing projects using Great Southern Land, so it was good to get a chance to play.





It's a very simple design, but very versatile with so many possibilities!

And the only complaint I had with my classes was using the Tiny Alphas... I don't know what the problem was personally... I love those letters!!!!

Anyway I have heaps more to share, just need to take some photos.... until then have fun!

Off to Hyden again...

I'm off to Hyden again next weekend.
I can't believe I've been asked to come back again and teach, though this time it's 2 layout classes. One is nice and simple and the other is one of my heritage layouts.

Here are some sneaks...

My heritage layout....


And the nice and simple class...





This is 2 different versions of the same layout... one boy, one girl.

I'm looking forward to it as it's going to be a lot of fun, and I can't wait to see everyone again and have a weekend away scrapping!

Only problem is, I'm between deadlines and projects and have nothing planned... so what am I going to do! lol...

A Travelling We Will Go....

Promised I would be back with my off-the-page project using Great Southern Land.

As we just bought a caravan, making a travel folder and travelling journal was with the perfect idea, especially using Australian papers for a project that will be used to document travelling Australia... lol



The Journal...





The pages can be removed to use as journalling on layouts, or sections to make mini albums, or I can add them as needed....Perfect in other words for a scrapbooker!

And the Travel Folder... I can use this to hold maps or memorabilia, depending on what I want and the length of the holiday!













Now we just need the time and money to take a holiday!

Great Southern Land

Thought I would drop in and share with you my projects for Great Southern Land for Kaisercraft this month.

This range is a special range, released along with Technologic and Tiger Lily, but I got to play with the Australia papers...

So without any more ado, here is my layout...





These are photos I took out at Lake Monjingup in October of one of the Banksia's. That's the beauty of this country, and also living in the regional areas.... there's a lot of photo opportunities for wildflowers!!!!

And for my cards this month I decided to do something different and make some postcards!


These were really quick and easy to make, and with a minimum of embellishments they're kept flat for easy postage.

I'll be back later to share my off the page project!

Been a scrappin'

Last weekend I had friends over to scrap, but being between projects, I didn't really have anything planned, so I pulled out a kit I'd put together a long time ago to do.

And I created this mini album using 7gypsies papers...





To give you an idea, I saw something similar on the Helmar website a long long long time ago and loved the idea.
So I've adapted it, and used it to create a mini album to hold all those funny sayings mum used to use when we were kids...











And I bet we all use those same sayings with our own kids!!!!!
