SmashFolios & back to school

Andrea from Scrapbook Outlet came to the rescue in time for Katya's birthday - sending me one of each of the smash folios so I could choose one for her. I love them all and have big plans for each and every one e.g. one is for 'me' and one is for our trip to the North Island last year. They make great gifts too. I could make one...but at under $30, I don't think so.

I have been 'back to school' for a couple of weeks now (we started back a week and a half before the kids started) and this year is off to a great start. I'm trying to do school stuff from Monday to Friday - not weekends, from 8-5 most days with some exemptions at Report writing time, parent teacher interviews etc. But mostly if it isn't done in that timeframe it possibly isn't that important in the scheme of things. I have a great group of students in my class this year - newbies again, love their keenness!

Balance is good and what one needs. Hard when you're a teacher I know. How's the cave going?

Love the smash books, great idea....

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

Camping with Jack

Welcome to our Jack Blog Hop! We are going to share with you, items from our Jack Paper Pack with various projects created by talented Close To My Heart Consultants.  If you are visiting from Brenda's blog then you are on the right track, if not please head back to visit Carol's blog where this blog hop begins. Jack papers were a bit of a challenge for me, especially after my enjoyment of working with Prickly Pear last month.  Luckily I enjoy a challenge and have one layout, and a process video, to share with you here (there are some other pages and projects shared previously on my blog - after the blog hop you can pop back and check them out). The challenge here was using 3 photos.  I have become adept at choosing just one photo that tells a story and adding journaling so I don't always need lots of photos on a page or two. But as this was about an event, there were more photos to place.  I made use of the Camping Life stamps for embellishing and addi...
