Earthquake Crop

 This layout is based on a sketch (below), uses a mixture of Pink Paislee papers donated by Kays Company and some from the workshop kits.

 Loved both of the pages designed by Trina & Rachel and had fun putting them together.  It reminded me how much I get out of doing workshops by others.  There's always a style or technique I can use in further layouts or projects.  Thank you Trina & Rachel for the inspiration :-)
Some of the things I loved most...
  • the little details
  • using fabric (loved the muslin with Trina's page)
  • the artisian elements
  • multimedia component (feathers, beads and doily)
  • Rachel's wee embellishment packs were gorgeous, didn't want to open them to use and the pre-threaded needle rocks!
  • having the workshop but being able to adapt it to do my own thing e.g. mirror flipping it to fit the perspective of the photo.
Thanks to everyone involved in organsing the crop.  I was really disappointed that I couldn't be there in person but pleased I was able to participate in a small way while my husband enjoys a fishing weekend.

I think you did well to replicate the layouts after seeing what the ladies down in Invers did. Your layouts are stunning. Looking forward to seeing you in November.

blenheim

We are currently in Blenheim. Have been doing some of the wineries - a work trip for Jase - we just get to go along! I'v been playing with some of the phaunt actions by Kylie Banks- my faves are phaunt magic instant & then beastly colour. Got the links from an online class at Scrapbook Outlet with Mandi Haynes. above: Katya on a walk in Waikari with Jases parents. Below - Harold the older giraffe at Orana Park, just before I met Vicki & checked out the stamping up catalogue. Jase & I joined a winery tour today - was a great way to meet some different people & to see & learn a little bit about some of the local wineries. Feel quite isolated without my home internet connection though!

thunderpants inspired

Here it is Karen - inspired by thunderpants! Had fun doodling. Love that I found that quote - fits the pic very aptly! Got my hands on clean & simple the sequel by Cathy Z today - such a good read so far!!! Also got a letter from Pride Publishing - they want one of my A-Z Lo's for publication in issue 44 - so exciting (just wish I live with a bunch of scrappers who understand what this means to me - but then I 'd have to share my stash!). Donna also got a letter - congrats Donna! (her links down to the lower right of my blog) To all those scrap camping - this weekend - hope it's a good one at whichever camp you are at. I'm looking forward to mine next weekend!
