Welcome to the Zoe Australasian Blog Hop. This is a circular hop. If you arrived from Denise’s blog you are in the right place. Simply read through this post and click on the link to the next blog at the end of it. Keep reading and ‘hopping’ until you find yourself back where you started from. We have 18 consultants participating in this hop so you are sure to be inspired.
This page is based on the Parlor Trick layout in the Magic How To Book (9040). Don’t you love the way 7 photos fit and the page is not overcrowded?
The centre panel was made using 2″ circles. Place each circle on your score board and score at 3/8″ and 1 5/8″. It’s a fun way to see both sides of this lovely paper.
The page is finished off with some of my favourite flower stamps – Wavy Blooms (D1651) which were coloured with water colour pencils (3505) because I wanted soft colours to go with the Zoe papers.
The NEW Coral Shimmer Trim (Z3088) and Green Enamel & Glitter Duos (Z3123) added the finishing touches.
The Zoe collection is available from your CTMH consultant. Be sure to check the CTMH official Facebook Page & Instagram for some great ideas too.
Now it’s time to click on the link to Doris’s Blog here to see what gorgeous idea she is sharing today.
Happy Scrappin’

This is just gorgeous Shaunna. it really shows how versatile Zoe paper really is. Love it! Melissa Appleby
Thanks Melissa
The centre panel of folded circles really draws your eyes to the page! I love what you’ve done with the flowers as well using the watercolours.
I was happy to get my watercolour flowers looking like the ones in the photo!
I love how you have done those circles- and you have just convinced me that i need the Wavy Blooms stamp set!
You do need it Lauren! They are my favourite flower stamps
Wow another great layout Shaunna, the coloured flowers with the watercolour pencils are stunning. I am sure doing this layout brought back great memories of your trip.
Thanks Doris
I love visiting your blog and seeing your pages shaunna, TFS the tip on the circles, wow, so effective and so clever an idea.
Thanks Tracey. It’s a technique I used years ago and loved so thought it was time to dust it off and use again 🙂
The folded circles look great. The green and the grey go so well together (it was so clever of CTMH to pair them with each other!!). Your photos of the flowers really pop out which I think is a good measure of a GREAT layout because the photos are more obvious than the decorations!
My thoughts too Vandra. I love my photos to be the thing that catches the eye when you first view a page
I always look forward to seeing your layouts – I just love the use of the circles. I really need to take a closer look at the Parlor Trick layout in the Magic How To Book, when I read 7 photos I though no , must have used a flip flap & then I counted – wow it looks far less,
Magic is a great ideas book – you will love using it
Shaunna, your page is lovely. I just love those flowers from the Wavy Blooms stamp set and your colouring is beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. 🙂
Thanks Denise
Love these colours from Zoe and your layout is gorgeous.
Thanks Jenny
Those circles give a great effect, will have to try it.
Yes, try them – they look great in any size. Also adapts nicely to cards, Leah
Lovely layout and use of the circles to create flowers.
Thanks Patricia
Beautiful layout Shauna. Zoe is so soft and pretty shows off the flower photographs beautifully.
Thank you
Love your layout. Thank you.
Thanks!
This is a beautiful layout Shaunna! I’ll have to try this folded circles technique!
They are fun to play with Kara.
