A quick layout share.

Just a few layouts to share.  First one is another layout using my old Bali parasailing photos.

 The next two are of the chickens. First one is cheeky Cocoa exploring the back yard. Then the boys out collecting the eggs.

 In this layout I copied an idea that  Jodie Armitage used at a retreat earlier this year. She did an easter layout using Charms creations lollipops as easter eggs. I loved it! 

In this layout I thought these natural coloured ones worked well as chickens eggs.

So I have never been into die cutting machines. But have seen so many good things done on the Silhouette cameo lately that I decided to splurge and get one. I love that you can make your own designs and that there are so many available online for just $1.

Anyway this layout is about my excitement at it arriving from America.

BTW, I LOVE it!! It is awesome. Still need more time to experiment tho. The program is very easy to use and all the tutorials on youtube make it pretty easy to learn new tricks.

123 September challenge.

I had a go at the challenge over at 123 for September. You had to use the word Man or Men, the colour grey and something metal. Some pics of Bai making his house of cards. I have used bull dog clips, staples and press studs as my metal items.
Here's my layout.

Scrap the girls.

So I had a go at the challenge at Scrap the girls this month. You had to use action or sports photos. I used an old pic of me when Rick and I went to Bali about 13 years ago. This is me, not that you can tell. I used a photo from a Creative Memories page. The photo had been cut into an oval. So I took a pic on my iphone and edited it. Pretty happy with the result. I know it's me. LOL!
So I used my old Bam Pop papers and stamp to go with this one. Bam Pop papers would still have to be my favourite. I wish they had new ones. Charms creations hand made clouds also went perfectly with this one.
Here's my layout.

Seeing stripes!

I've been collecting zebra embelishments and zebra stripes for ages for these photos from book week. So I thought I'd just give them all a go at once so I could put the leftovers back into my stash and eventually get these photos scrapped. Anyway here's what I came up with.
