I have used Hello Love by Crate Paper to create this layout. I have used a cut file from the Silhouette Design Store. To add more texture and interest to this layout I have used a script stencil and used structure paste. I just love how this layout turned out. Never be afraid to go super pretty even when scrapping a boy!

Hello everyone well todays challenge is up and it is all about flowers. I have used a digital cut file to create my flower background and then layered from here. I have used MME new collection Hello Gorgeous. We can't wait to see your take on this flower challenge. Here is my design team layout, be sure to head over to the blog to see the other fantastic DT layouts.

There is nothing better than getting your layouts published, this month I was lucky enough to have two published! The first Layout was created using MME and the second Teresa Collins.

I have to admit I am very taken with the cactus trend happening right now! Super excited when I found a cut file from Studio Calico of the perfect cactus. Dear Lizzy's new collection, Happy Place, has papers and embellishments of, yes, you guessed it, the cactus!! This layout had to be done and I think this very cute photo of my youngest just goes perfectly!

Finally Natalie came to Perth and I got to spend a Sunday afternoon doing a water colour technique class with her. Lots of fun and loved the finished products.

The second challenge in March for The Studio Challenges is 'landscape' (no people allowed!).

My photo was taken on a recent holiday in the beautiful Dunsborough region of Western Australia, Bunker Bay beach. The best things in life are free and this beach is a fine example. I have used Coco Vanilla Studio's Hello Sunshine Collection (an Australian scrapbooking designer).

I hope you will join us for this challenge and I look forward to seeing your entries. Head over to the blog to see the other fab DT layouts and further details of the challenge.

I have to say I am still a lot chuffed about winning last months 'going postal' challenge. I do not enter many challenges due to time constraints but this is one challenge blog I am attempting to do each month in 2016. This month is a sketch with 'a touch of houndstooth'. I have used the new collection by Simple Stories 'You Are Here' which is a travel themed collection. For my my touch of houndstooth I used a digital cut file design from Silhouette. I used a recent photo of my boy on holiday at Bunker Bay. 

Here is my layout and the sketch:

So thrilled to be published again in the awesome JOT Magazine.
My layout is in the chipboard section. I used 2Crafty chipboard frame and harlequin clumps which I embossed in gold. The collection is Pink Paislee Cedar Lane. This layout was originally created as a DT layout for All About Scrapbooks.

Here is the link to the latest issue of JOT.
