Paperific displays

Paperific was on in Melbourne this weekend and I was asked by Alison Ellis Designs to create some display pieces for their stand, using their new paper releases. This one uses the "Bush Christmas- snow gum range"

The gold and red range is called "Bush Christmas- Red Gum", and the Gold on Cream range is called "Bush Christmas- Paperbark"

And here they are on display at Paperific!

"Outdoor Girl" tutorial

I have a new tutorial up on the Scrapbook Boutique blog. I'm so happy with the way this layout turned out! I really wasn't sure where I was going with it when I started!!

I have used:- Echo Park Country Drive papers and embellishments, Brown and Green Cardstock, We R Memory keeper's twine, x-press it tape, pritt glue, and the Bow Easy (have I told you how much I love the Bow Easy?!!! I blame for Sue for showing me how to use it! Hehehehe!

If you would like to follow along the tutorial and make your own layout like this you can find all the instructions here.

Scrapbook Boutique Challenge

Today I am sharing with you a card I made for the new challenge at Scrapbook Boutique Blog which has just been revealed!

Your challenge is take inspiration from this yummy delicious cupcake image and create a project that has ribbon and or a bow on it. How easy is that?!!

I took my inspiration from the pink and brown colours, the floral plate, and the folded cupcake wrappers. I used the Bow easy to tie the tiny bows in the grosgrain ribbon.

The challenge is open til August 31st and the prize is an awesome $30.00 voucher to spend in the Scrapbook Boutique online shop.

See the blog for the challenge details and terms and conditions. Good Luck!

Scraphaven Echo Park classes

Yesterday and last night I finished teaching the Echo Park "Little Boy" and "Little Girl" classes at Scraphaven. From one kit and a few extra sheets of cardboard we have created 6 single layouts and 1 double layout over a series of 5 classes! And there is still plenty left in the kits for the lovely ladies to come up with their own creations for our "final challenge"

These are the LO's we did in the final class!

For the class partipcipants who missed a week, catch-up class is next Friday at 10.30am or 7.00pm. Please let Di know which session you will be attending, and which classes you will be doing so we can get the extra supplies ready!

Scrapbook Boutique- Honey Bee Tutorial

Doing a little happy dance here! My first tutorial has been published on the Scrapbook Boutique blog!

I have used some delicious Echo Park Country Drive papers (love how can buy the entire collection and know everything will work together!), smooth black Card stock, We R memory keepers bakery twine, (the "tertiary" twine is a perfect match for the Country Drive papers). It's all held together with X-press it DS tape, X-press it foam tape and foam squares.

Black with Two- August Challenge

This month's Black with Two challenge requires dominant black with green and no flowers! Not too difficult!

There are some great changes happening from this month at BW2- only one challenge per month but two prize winners! And from September onwards the criteria will be black with 2 colours (rather than black with one colour and another criteria). Its going to be great!

There is also a DT call out- so if you think you have what it takes to be part of the team why not apply?!
