Piano

my latest layout - about the piano I was given on my 30th birthday - used to be my Grans - Purchased in 1960 with family benefit money. It is so nice being able to sit down and play - I've really missed this over the last couple of years (borrowed one in Auckland for a while). I don't love this layout though - not sure why?? (ideas welcome). I have extra photos so may have a play when I'm able. I think it needs more of a CathyZ clean and simple look??
I'm currently stalking www.scrapbookoutletnz.co.nz as three bugs in a rug is due in over the next 24 hours & I really want some. I just redeemed a $50 birthday voucher at www.kiwiscraps.co.nz - getting (if it's in stock) a retro flower - whale of a punch, 7 Gypsies stamp & some of the new bg papers & monograms. Hope it all comes through though - hate reading my accound online and realising not everything is coming & finding out later in the week (often takes a week for delivery) what isn't there - I am so hard to please!!! Posted by Picasa

It's hard to wait isn't it?? Especially when we think on-line means NOW.

Have you thought of perhaps matting your photo of the piano keys ... to separate it from the music paper?

You are right Fiona - but the closest LSS to me is in Cromwell - a 40 minute drive away (I know the owner - you there Nic? but I don't think she would be impressed with a night time call desperately wanting a pink brad).
Karen - your matting idea could work - I had wondered about some texture or modelling paste to separate it - maybe even some inked chipboard?

Hi Lara, thanks for stopping by my new blog!! I too love the look of all the new goodies due in store at SO. I'm trying soooo hard to stick to my new 'art budget' I've set myself, but may have to have a little spurge. Enjoy your new goodies when they arrive.

Lara I think matting the photo too would be good although I think it looks good now.
Are you going to CC Cathy Z is going to be there.

I'd love to go to cc Dianna but my more serious side tells me that close to $1000 is too much to spend on my hobby - I'd rather spend that much on scrap stuff! I'll just make do with some 'virtual' challenges while you are all there & look forward to our scrap camp on Queens Birthday Weekend!

New Grad

This month I used the 'Sunshine Vibes' bundle to create this layout for the Stampin' Up Artisan Design Team. Using die cuts to create stencils is a favourite way to create backgrounds for my scrapbook layouts. This bundle allowed me to do this and then to back some of the die cuts with in colour DSP.  Puffy hearts and fussy cut flowers add dimension. If you live in New Zealand and don't have a Stampin' Up! Demonstrator already and want the supplies I have used, please visit: https://laramoss.stampinup.net and head to the shop to look for: Sunshine Vibes Bundle Mini Alphabet Dies Florals in Bloom DSP

Over on Instagram, the current team is running a hop where we are all documenting in some way, what it has meant to be an Artisan. Look up @scrappykea to check out the links to the rest of the teams projects. You can see my project coming together and hear me talk a bit about the Artisan Journey in this video : If you live in New Zealand and want some of the creative supplies I have used in this project, please head to:  https://laramoss.stampinup.net/   Supplies used in this project: Two-Toned Cardstock: Secret Sea, Cloud Cover, Darling Duckling, Summer Splash, Timid Tiger Designer Series Paper: Turtle-y C...
