W is for...

Ok, I admit that I have cheated a little - I haven't been to a country beginning with 'w' so I'm using a state instead. I promised more post using 'Trendy Trees' - my current favourite - so here you go.... more to come over the next few days. I cased this page from my friend & very tallented SU! demo Kelly Slattery - go check out her blog for heaps of gorgeous projects.

P is for...

Ok, so I admit I've skipped a few letters! I was looking for inspiration and this

is where I found it today. I love my Priceless set and all the swirls seemed quite fitting for a 'Paris' layout. Sorry the photo's not the best but you get the idea...

C is for...

Another installment from my A-Z scrapbook pages. I finished this one last month and used 'Live Your Dream' which has now retired, but I still love!

I've wanted to scrap these pictures for a long time as the trip was amazing and brings back lots of memories. I wanted to keep the page fairly simple though, in an attempt to focus on the photos, rather then the embelishments.

'B' is for...

Here's the second of my A-Z album pages. I've never used this technique on DS papers before but this design from ' Afternoon Tea' (available until march in the SU! Summer Mini catalogue) seemed to suit it well. I also wanted to use some of my carosel notes from the Summer Mini too, but had to cut the photos by hand as I don't have a circle cutter...yet!

Here is a snapshot of the Afternoon Tea DSP from the Summer Mini Catalogue. Products in the catalogue are available until the end of March. Please do let me know if you would like the catalogue of would like to place an order.

The start of a long project!

This is the first page of a very long project. I'm attempting to do an A-Z album of the places I've been. I'm cheating a little as I plan to include cities as well as countries but even so I'm a few letters short - I'll have to start planning my holidays around this album!

I found this page really difficult as there were so many photos that I wanted to include.

Working with Only Orange is also a real challange for me.

Recipe;

Cardstock - Only Orange, Taken With Teal, Whisper White, Basic Black, Always Artichoke.

Ink - Always Artichoke, Taken With Teal

Stamps - Short Order Alphabet, Petals Wheel

Other - Brads, Boho Blossoms Punch, Photo Corner Punch, Chipboard - On Board Lower

The boho blossoms punch has retired now but it's easy to create a very similar effect with the Spring Flower Bouquet punch from the Idea Book & Catalogue (pg 143).
