A walk on the Wild Side

A good friend gave me a gift of a "Chook Scrap Pack".. this is a fun pack that includes all the items needed to create your own page or two.  She came to visit, so the two of us immediately started scrapping pages.  I used photos of the amazing animals we encountered at the Phillip Island Animal Sanctuary. Australia has the coolest animals around !


I created this cute layout using the Jan 2011 Chook Scrap Pack.. I used Sketch 8-24-11 by Let's Scrap as inspiration.

The packed used papers and elements from Sassafras.  I adore their products.. So fun to work with.

Scrap Collections: Oh Boy layouts

This is another of the amazing collections I received from Scrap Collections.  Their new ranges are so fun to work with and you can do so much with them...

Loved this fun boy range.. really funky colors and the background color range also works brilliantly with this.

The layout I created:

This layout is about my son and his friend.  We went to a wedding recently and while the ceremony was going on, these two were bored and decided to have a Stick fight instead.. such boys !!

Also done a single layout with the same range.. 


My eldest son and his cousin often play with my Brother In law's heap of Crates (he is a flower farmer and has 100's of crates on his property).. they often build houses and forts, etc.. 

Remember you can contact your local scrapbooking supplier in South Africa to order these in for you.

Scrap Collections: Oh my Hat

I recently received the most amazing pack in the post from Scrap Collections (they are the NEW KID on the block in terms of Scrapbooking in South Africa).  I immediately ripped it open as was so excited to find their latest ranges of papers.  You can see their wonderful papers HERE:

There ranges are so fun and you are sure to love them.. !  

I created this double layout using their new fun range called:  CHRISTMAS Collection.

We were invited to a Christmas HAT party.. we had so much.. Christmas the Ozzy way:

On the left page I created a booklet to hold more photos:

On the right page I created the tree using 2 sheets of the paper and cutting tiny strips which I rolled. I also added a tag under the main photo for extra journalling:

ALSO:  what was really cool is that they have a range of their papers called the BACKGROUND collection .. of all their colors they used.. perfect for matting your photos with..

Remember to ask your local retailer to get these amazing ranges in store soon !

Together

I managed to do a layout using white space.. wow.. that is not like me at all.. you can see it was a kit.. I wouldn't know where to start !  LOL..

Papers used in kit were supplied by Fab Scraps.

These photos were taken recently of us in Carlton Gardens in Melbourne City.  Klaven took the main photo.. look how small we are compared to those huge trees.. my favorite pathway in the whole City.

Original kit design by Barbs as part of the Organ Donor Charity Kit..

Wedding

Another double layout done and dusted...went to our first wedding in Australia a short while ago.. such a lovely couple.. used beads and lace from the wedding on the layout. 

This was using a kit created by Olga.. I changed it around to make left and right swirls open up so that I can put more photos in.

Big brother...

Another kit layout that I managed to finish today.. I amended the kit around a bit and added extra papers and embellishments to suit my photos.  Kits never have enough paper in them.. LOL.  


Photos taken of Brent and Klaven in East London in Dec 2010.. these photos were perfect for this layout !


Kit used papers from Fab Scraps and I included paper by MME...
