Stamps Ahead

Here is a set of 3 cards I recently made for a team training day (TDD) with our team of Kaszazz Demonstrators.  We were set a challenge to use any of our current chipboard and current product to design our entry. I have double embossed the chipboard.  So what is this?  After first embossing with our gold embossing powder and then embossed again with same powders.  This gives a depth to the chipboard. A great alternative to using foils. The papers our from our Nostalgic collection of papers and stamps. I won a voucher for taking out first prize in our group - as voted on by my fellow team members. Thank you for looking, Margaret

Here is a layout I created for a White with 1 challenge ..... to use the colour chocolate. This photo was taken, during a recent visit, at National Arboretum in Canberra and the sculpture, on the top of a hill, refers to a line in Dorothea Mackellar's great Australian poem My Country. The script in the sculpture is inspired by her own handwriting. This layout using Kaszazz chipboard coloured with Coffee Archival Ink, the ink was also used to add colour to the texture paste I have used on the Kaisercraft stencil (waves but ideal for this layout).  I have also used Kaisercraft stamps to complete the layout. Thank you for looking, Margaret

Here are a couple of layouts I have just completed for National Scrapbook Day. This photo is of my great nephew when he was born 11 months ago. He will shortly turn 1 so thought it time I scrapbooked it. This was for a challlenge at White with 1 to use a stencil. This layout for a challenge Australian Scrapbook Cruises was to scrap a cruise photo/s. I kept it as a clean and simple layout as the photos were so great. The photos were taken on the deck of Explorer of the Seas as I sailed out of Sydney bound for South Pacific. A storm was approaching and it made for beautiful skies. The ship left earlier from port than planned trying to avoid the storm. Thank you for looking, Margaret
