cricut scrapbooking - simple



Here is the last of lasts nights scrapbooking, I am really pleased as it also finishes another scrapbook full of pages yipeee!

The first is me for my graduation...it was another good year, after finishing a Diploma in Business Administration the year prior I went on to do a Diploma in Professional Photography which I finished prior to Christmas 2011...... I scanned the diplomas so I could print on 6x4 and use in on the layout....






























And lastly this is a design from the cricut scrapbook layout book, sorry can't recall the designers name.... super layout to end my scrapbook with and the photo was very fitting as I went to the Pouakai Zoo last week and the peacock put on the perfect show! How very lucky to see it!

Stampin up wild rose

Finally back to some stamping for a birthday card for my mums birthday this month... i made a bit of a mess with the chalk for the background but it blended better once I wiped with a tissue (after i took the photo of course!).....

I made the rose with versamark and chalk and cut out to layer.. added glossy accents to the white parts ofthe rose and leaves....

stamped frenchscript background and silhouette sentiments around the edges in black then added some versamark around the edge and chalk to blend (lol)

Stampin Up Bookmark Card


Here is a bookmark card, trying something different....
The bookmark is attacked on the inside with removable tape (not shown in picture).

I used the lovely Beautiful Season stampset, blender pen and crayons for colouring... stamp-a-ma-jig for layering in correct place. .... next time I might frame the bookmark to make it standout more... ok for a first attempt though.
