CTMH Wander Australasian Blog Hop

Hi & welcome to our CTMH Wander Australian Blog Hop. If you arrived from Dannii's Scrappy Chicks blog, you are in the right place. If you just happened by, thank you for stopping by. I hope you will continue on our blog hop to see what the others have created using this collection.

This first layout is inspired by one of the layouts from the May CTMH Album Retreat. I added some linen & sage cardstock to the Wander paper pack. The stamped images are from the Wander scrapbooking stamp & thin cuts set (Z3964). First I blended Antique Linen, Chipped Sapphire & Peeled Paint Distress Oxides to create a background, then stamped the images using Intense Black and Sapphire ink pads.  The stamped border is from the Wander cardmaking stamp & thin cuts set (Z3959), stamped with Sage ink. 

For my second layout, I added the floral element using one of the stencils from CTMH Stencil Pack 1 and Antique Linen Distress Oxides. The leaves were cut using the Layered Leaves thin cuts and the title was cut using the CTMH Block Alphabet Thin cuts in Peacock & Sage.  I added a little more colour to the pages by flicking some Peacock Shimmer Brush before adding my photos.

This layout is ready to add some pics from our next adventure. It is inspired by Pattern 15 of MIFYH Vol 5. I added Peacock & Sage cardstock to the Wander paper pack. There is room for lots of photos on this layout. I will add embellishments once I have added my pics. 

To create this card, I used White Daisy, Sage, Sapphire & Sundance cardstock with Wander paper. The sentiment and stars are from Z3965 - Chillin' with My Gnomies stamp & thin cuts set and stamped with Sapphire ink. The circles were cut using the Stitched Circles Thin Cuts (retired).
