RR Day 2

Here is my offering for day two, teamed up the SU colours with a Papertrey ink flourish.

Inspiration from Red Rooster, who'd have thought?

Whilst languishing in the food hall of a local shopping mall waiting from my daughter to finish eating, I was idly casting my eye around and came across the Red Rooster bag which had contained Holly's lunch ( tasty in Holly's opinion, unhealthy in mine, but that's another story). As only an (SU) card maker would understand, I thought what a great colour combo, melon mambo, rich razzleberry, real red and pumpkin pie. Don't they all look great on a Kraft background? I tore off a small portion and popped it in my handbag for later. I ended up making ten cards and could have gone on and on.

Here is my first offering, I will endeavour to post one every day, but don't hold me to that!

A beautiful day

This layout is from a trip to Marysville last year. We went to see the Falls as they had been reopened and we amazed at the change.The first time we went (pre fires) you couldn't see all of the falls from any one spot because the the foliage. Now you can see it from almost any angle. The new viewing platforms are great for picture taking. The flowers are from outside of the bakery.

The papers from this layout are a mixture of Kaiser and Papermania.
Stickers - Papermania
The doily die cut is from Cheery Lynn
Good times chipboard accent is a very old one from Heidi Swapp
Buttons from stash.

Up, up and away in my beautiful, my beautiful balloon

Before Christmas, Lauren and Damien left home very early one Saturday morning and headed over to Yarra Glen for a balloon flight over the Yarra Valley. They had a fabulous time, even if it was a bit of a chilly start. I have tried to capture something of that day in my layout.

The mountainscape was cut on my Silhoutte

Life's a beach

 Another beach layout for Lauren, this time at Sorrento.I have used mostly Basic Grey - Marrakech . The title is from a craft kit I picked up in Kmart , the blue and yellow embellishments are Inspirables Stone stickers from EK Success. Lastly the waves on the bottom corners of the layout are Kaiser.

Summer Fun

This is a layout of Lauren and her boyfriend during the Christmas break They were at Point Nepean. Her boyfriend's family have a beach House down on the coast so she spent a couple of weeks down there.

The patterned paper is from Kaiser, the flowers and brads - Stampin Up!The chipboard element is from MME - Fine and Dandy

 The banners are also from the same MME range

The transparency is from Hambly Studios

Catching up with Christmas

 I have been having some much anticipated time off work recently and this has enabled me to catch up with my scrapping. I have caught up with Xmas 2008, 2010and 2011. For some reason I had already scrapped 2009.

I have created the border at the bottom of the layout by using this memory box die - Crisp bows. I cut them out and just removed the stalk, adhered them as close as possible to the strip of patterned paper and voila! It looks just like a border punch. I have to agree a border punch would have been easier but it does add an extra use  to your ordinary dies. I will be looking at some of my others in a new light now. I will be getting a range of these dies in on my website soon. I will keep you posted.
