  Today I'd like to show you an unhalloween layout.  As soon as I saw Close To My Heart's newest shade of orange, called Nectarine, I knew it would be perfect for photos of Western Australia's far north landscapes.  We spent 4 nights at Karijini National Park walking the gorges last year.  Spinifex Pigeons are my favourite little birds.  They are so fun to watch walking and interacting.  Look closely at the photos on the left hand page - the birds are in both of them - well camouflaged.



This layout is based on one from the Hello Pumpkin Workshop Your Way kit.  I simply swapped around the papers I used and 'dressed up' the striped paper.  Here is the original version.



I introduce Sage as a focal colour on this layout.  It goes so well with the grey greens of Australian foliage.   The nectarine and black striped paper was too bold for my photos so I softened it by covering the nectarine with strips of sage cardstock.  The dark side is up on narrow strips and light side on wider strips.  This didn't take very long and was worth the effort.



The notebook border thin cut is so much fun to use and softened the edge of the page.  The new Brushed Letters Alphabet Stamps are my favourites in the current catalogue.  They are big and bold but narrow enough that long titles fit into smaller spaces.  Because the are designed to look like paintbrush strokes, they are also very forgiving if you don't get your inking 100% right!

A couple of clusters made with the Hello Pumpkin Complements completed the layout. The Hello Pumpkin collection is available to purchase from September to December, 2018. A list of products used in my projects appears at the end of this post. Place your order with your Close To My Heart Consultant.

  Happy Scrapping, Shaunna
