WR 250....

Hello everyone
I thought I would post one of my pages that I completed at our crop last night - I'm quite pleased with how it turned out. Would you believe this started out as a white piece of cardstock?? Well it did!!

I love to create my own background paper using inks, paint, stamps, masks etc - it's my latest craze! There are some great products out there to help you do that. I'd love to see your layouts where you have created your own background paper - why not send them in to me for publishing (as long as they have at least 3 photos on a page).

Frog catching.......

Hi everyone
Alycia has sent in some more of her layouts - lots of variety here and another take on using the SU ornament punch - might have to get my punch out and have a go!

Doesn't corrugated cardstock look great on a layout? How cute is that frog - thanks Alycia. Does anyone else have any frog layouts they can submit - we'd love to see them.

Simple layouts, but they tell the story of her sister's great love for her garden, and that's what scrapbooking is all about, sharing those memories with others.... thanks very much Gina.

If you have some great garden layouts containing three photos or more, please send them in to mealin@optusnet.com.au and we will post them for you.

New laptop....

Hello again
Dale has sent in a great looking layout for us:-

Submitted by Dale Tiernan
Booragoon, Western Australia

I just love those papers she has used - they suit the theme so well don't they. She has used Cherry Arte Boy Story - Count Loud and MLYB Gen Z Striped Metallic Composite papers - I think they look great!! The little CM laptop embellishment just finishes it beautifully.

Dale is a regular contributor to our blog and challenges - thanks so much Dale and I look forward to receiving more of your layouts soon and Happy Birthday to your son for Tuesday!! :-)

Take care, Ann :-)
