My friend showed me a little book similar to this one and I decided I just had to make one and do it my way…..so here it is, hope you like it.  I used Stampin Up card stock and designer papers.  Its strange because orange is definitely not my favourite colour but I sure love Apricot Appeal and will be sad when it is gone……but I have stocked up on it.  Oh and the little white flowers in the centre of the orange flower came to me from my host Japanese daughter, Megumi.

Here are some of my 6 x 6 inch scrap pages as requested by my sister in law, Sue who lives in Alice Springs….hope your friend can follow them ok.

 

Did this page with the help of a pre class file from U Stamp.  I loved how this page turned out. Sorry about the shadows and the incorrect colours…..the weather is so overcast and I ended up taking this outside to photograph trying to get it to look like the right colours.  Any hints on photographing greatfully accepted….lol…  anyway I hope you like my page too.

Made this folder with the pre class with U Stamp that I have joined. All I need to do now is add photo’s and I have a lovely gift.

 

Here is a challenge from Aussie Scrapbookers where each day they give you a bit of the layout to build and this is my end product. It was fun to do. This is the 1st time I have scanned a 12 x 12 and stitched it together, so the stitching is not perfect but you can get the idea, the layout is actually better.

Tomorrow I have to do some stamping with a group of women and girls from Muroto in Japan, so I decided to do something so that as well as a craft it will be a souvenir too. This is where I live and my daughter, Kylie took these wonderful photos of our lovely home town. I have used Stampin Up Stipple shells and By the Sea roller stamps. The card stock is So Saffron, Ballet Blue, Black and Sahara Sand. Hope you enjoy your visit to where I live through my page.

I had to do a scrapbook workshop at a camp on the weekend and I adapted this page from the Stampin Up catalogue to a 12 x 12 scrap page. I used Little Pieces Stamp Set and Tidy Alphabet Set. The colours are Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery, Whisper White and Always Artichoke. It was a good one to do as a workshop and each person did different colours…..they all looked great.
