Art Philosophy Cricut Collection

Artfully Sent Cricut Collection

Artiste Cricut Collection

Kaleidoscope Collection

Georgie Collection

The Georgie Collection is so versatile. While it is designed as a baby collection, it can be used for just about any photos! I used it in this layout for our cats' birthday pictures

La Vie En Rose Collection

This is one of the many La Vie En Rose layouts I completed. I particularly love this paper as all the papers are black & white patterned paper except the one with the roses on it! This makes it a very versatile paper pack

Sangria Collection

As soon as I saw the 2015-2016 Annual Inspirations catalogue, I knew I had to create this layout using the Sangria Collection. It is one of my favourites for the year!

Urban Collection

This layout, created using the Urban Collection, is my favourite of all time! Not because the photos are the best, but because of the story that goes with these photos. Ali went to Normanton in Far North Queensland at the beginning of 2015 with a group of other Year 9 students and teachers on a cultural trip. They spent time at the local school working with the children. Ali really loved her time there and didn't want to come home, even though right up to the last minute she wasn't sure she wanted to go. She grew so much during that trip, developed new friendships and saw more of this fabulous country we live in. This layout was my entry in the Annual CTMH Convention Page Layout competition, and was selected as one of the winning layouts.

Zoe Collection

One of the things I really love about the Close To My Heart collections, is that they coordinate with each other. I used paper from the Zoe Collection (dot paper) and Charlotte Collection (floral paper which was available in SE1 2016) along with Whisper and Black cardstock to create this layout. Thank you to Nell Ward (fellow consultant) for this versatile layout idea. I have used it so many times and it always looks so different!

Ornate Blossoms

You don't want to miss out on the long list of retiring products going from Close To My Heart - many in just 2 more days on 31st July 2016 from the Annual Inspirations and more on 31st August from the Seasonal Expressions Catalogue. The retiring products are being replaced by more beautiful papers, embellishments, stamp sets and tools, but you don't want to miss out as once they are gone, they won't be coming back. 

The Ornate Blossoms Stamp set (D1687) and Thin Cuts (Z3227) are retiring at the end of August. 

D1687 - Ornate Blossoms Stamp Set

Z3227 - Ornate Blossoms Thin Cuts

Today, I created these gorgeous cards using The Ornate Blossoms Stamp Set and Thin Cuts. 

I was inspired by a card by "Designs by Marguerite" to create these cards. I cut the shapes from Kraft Cardstock using the Ornate Blossoms Thin Cuts, then I stamped the images using Versamark stamp pad, then covered with White Embossing powder and heated. I embossed the background using the Damask Embossing Folder - Z1927 -(retiring 31st July 2016). The sentiment from the Sending Smiles Stamp Set - D1708 (available from 1st August 2016 with the Flower Market Cricut Collection) - is stamped using the Desert Sand stamp pad. I added some bling that I had in my stash to finish off the cards.

Come back again soon and see what else I have been creating and what is NEW!

Magical

During the last month, I have enjoyed creating with the Magical collection. Today, my workshop attendees have enjoyed re-creating some of the layouts. I did share two layouts earlier, but these are the rest I have created - all ready for photos to be added.

 This layout was inspired by the Magical Layout on page 14 of Seasonal Expressions 2 (2016)

 This layout was inspired by Sketch #62 from Sketchsavy.blogspot.com

This layout was Pinterest inspired

This layout was inspired by the Calypso layout on page 29 in Seasonal Expressions 2 (2016)
