Mike and I were so very proud of our daughter the night she graduated from the University of Western Australia. She is a beautiful person inside and out and we hope she fulfils her dream to help the lives of those less fortunate than her.
This page was a joy to make. I knew the Great Job Stamp Set (C1588) was perfect. It's lovely swirls just feel like a celebration. I wanted the left hand page to be all about Kathryn so chose just one photo to include on it. Our 'proud parents' shots had to …
This fun layout came from page 36 of the Reflections How To Book. I love that the layouts in this book have very simple designs you can dress up.
The Outdoor Denim strips have been scored using the Scoreboard and then sanded to expose a little of the white core. This adds great texture. The Hopscotch papers were perfect for my photos and the little concentric circles stamp from the WOTG kit added a nice accent to my Colonial White circles behind the title. How pretty does the NEW Blue Shimmer …
Here's a quick card to make. It took me less than 15 minutes to create it. I used the Capture the Day Stamp Set (A1165)
Begin by creating a circular mask from a Post-It Note
Next, stamp lots of butterflies in 3 different colours around and over the mask. Stamp one extra butterfly on some scrap paper and cut this out. Use your daubers to 'colour' this single butterfly.
Remove the mask and add the sentiment and finish off with the single butterfly mounted on foam tape. Add a mount of patterned p…
I am so happy with the way these pages turned out. I have loved using the Heartstrings Papers and these were the last scraps left in the pack! I think that is one of the greatest joys of using CTMH paper packs... I actually USE it all and don't have to store it. I usually make 8-12 pages from one pack if I add in some extra card for page bases or, as in this case, work directly on a CM album page.
The flowers are all from this month's Stamp of the Month, A Happy Hello. Some were stamped direc…
Welcome to the February Australasian Stamp of the Month Blog Hop. If you have arrived here from Patricia's Blog, Patricia Manhire's Creative Corner, you are in the right place. This is a circular hop, click through to the blog mentioned at the end of each post and you will find yourself back here. There’s a lot of love shared in the cards, pages and projects created by my sister consultants using A Happy Hello, Stamp of the Month (S1502). Enjoy!
One of the things I love best about being part of Close To My Heart is the open sharing of ideas between consultants across the globe. Today's little card was inspired by a lady who lives in Ohio, USA. So, thank you Bobbi Frappier Dailey! I adore ladybirds.
The ladybirds are made using the banner stamps from the Year Noted kit. I embossed the Cranberry card using the Hearts embossing folder and the XOXO comes from January's Stamp of the month. I have this card as a kit for all my lovely lad…
I hope you have plans for a relaxed day enjoying all the delights of our Australian landscape and culture. Our house is about to get busy. Each year our daughter hosts a 'Hottest 100' Countdown Party. A National radio Station, JJJ, plays the most popular songs of the year as voted by it's listeners. The day involves lazing by the pool, eating yummy food and enjoying friendships new and old as the songs play.
I realised the other night I've never made a page abou…
Here is the second layout for our Little Black Dress night. It follows on from Friday's post. A large group of young women (I include myself here because I felt young that night) on the dance floor seem to spend more time taking photos of themselves than dancing! Perhaps that is more a reflection on the quality of the music than the individuals. Anyway, the result was a set of fun photos taken at awkward angles but filled with smiles.
