On the front of the Summer Mini Catalogue is a really great, bright and happy 6"x 6" layout full of gorgeous flowers and layers.  I love the colours used and the different textures created using some of my favourite Stampin' Up! tools.

My Australia Day treat for myself was to recreate this lovely layout for my album. I had two related photos I wanted to use, upped the size to 12"x 12" to fit them on, added a few more embellishments to fill a couple of gaps and VOILA!

The fabulous colours are Melon Mambo, Tangerine Tango and Wild Wasabi - so very bright & cheery!

The flowers have been cut from my favourite and most used die - the Fun Flowers Bigz L Die. Once cut out, I have scrunched them into tiny balls, smoothed them back out then spritzed them with our Vanilla Smooch Spritz.

For a bit of extra colour and depth in the background I have not only used the Vanilla Smooch, but have pulled out my Stampin' Up! Colour Spritzer tool and Stampin' Write Markers and added a quick splash of colour.

The stamped flowers are from Fabulous Florets stamp set and have been hand cut, and also spritzed with the colour spritzer.

Other embellishments include a Vintage Brad and a dozen or so of our adhesive half pearls.

Lots of ladies say to me they've often thought about trying scrapbooking, but never gotten around to it.  This year, one Thursday night per month I will be running a scrapbook club. I hope to start it soon, so if you're at all interested, please email me for the details. Email : [email protected]
