Up, Up and Away!

I found this little fence die at the Newcastle Craft Show last week and couldn't wait to use it on a layout.

I am slowly 're-scrapping' (lol) my son's baby album (he is now 9!) and thought this scene layout would suit his 'first steps' photos. The patterned papers I have used are from the 2012 Saleabration papers 'Everyday Enchantment' which I am STILL addicted to and am still finding lots of lovely uses for it.

Here is the layout pre-photos:

 

And the layout with my photos:

 

Thursday Night Workshop 31st May 2012, 'Oakvale Farm'

The inspiration for this workshop is Oakvale Farm @ Bobs Farm. I tried to work with earthy colours and ended up with So Saffron, Old Olive, Chocolate Chip with a little Cherry Cobbler and Night of Navy thrown in.

I wanted the layout to have lots of room for lots of photos and I hope I have accomplished this.

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge Submission # 9

For this weeks challenge, we had two Stampin' Up! colour combinations to choose from, using Tangarine Tango. Hubby decided on the colours because I just couldn't decide. Then he told me they were 'beachy' colours, so naturally I couldnt get that out of my head. I have turned the original layout sketch on it's side and I have also added a 2nd page to turn it into a double layout. I hope you like it. I think it is going to be so nice once it's finished with photos. I can also think of a couple of friends who have gorgeous photos from their trips to Malta who may just like this layout too. We might just have to change the Pacific Point background to Tempting Turquoise to match the awesome colours of the water over there.

Be sure to blog hop over to Adele and Rachael's blogs to see what awesome creations they have come up with.

Cheaper Than Therapy No. 2 Submission!

Well, I have to confess I just can't use Tempting Turquoise with the 'Playdate' papers. The turquoise in the papers is very subtle, so sorry gals, but I had to use Bashful Blue on the page, but I think it looks ok... I'm struggling with a heading, so it remains untitled. Other than that, with the papers I had, I'm really happy with the end result.

I can't wait to check out Adele and Rachael's submissions this week to see what they came up with!
