Autumn Winter Mini - Blog Hop
April 23, 2011
You may have just arrived here from Alisha's blog - welcome! Or if you have just popped in to check up on me, then you're in for a treat because it's blog hop day with my little group of friendly stampers. Only 7 of us today, so you'll be able to check out all the blogs nice and easily - if you're having a lazy Easter Saturday, that is!
All the projects today feature products from the Stampin' Up! Aus/NZ Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue which is current now and is just packed with totally gorgeous things!
I have created an 8"x 8" double layout for you - my new favourite size, based on the gorgeous album on page 21 of the mini.
I have selected a couple of pages from the Botanical Gazette Designer Series Paper pack on page 15 of the mini, and just added a couple of subtle images from the co-ordinating Nature Walk stamp set, another new favourite. Just love these realistic images for stamping just the outline or for filling in with a light watercolour wash.
The little leaves are one of our favourite Sizzlits Dies, for use with the Big Shot. It's amazing how many projects I have used these leaves on recently!
And for those with an experienced eye, you can see I have used Not Quite Navy & Cherry Cobbler Card and the Scallop Trim Border punch for the finishing touches.
Hope you like it! If you'd like to follow the rest of the blog hop, here are all the other talented ladies, starting at Ros and finishing back here with me. Enjoy your day!

Beautiful, Kathryn. The papers are perfect for your layouts, and your journalling nearly brought a tear to my eye. You are indeed blessed!

Kathryn all I can saw is wow, I love it and the words are just so lovely. 8x8 pages are just great, I did my whole wedding album in 8 x 8.
