Hi everyone, this week Elizna and I (Rona) are here to inspire you, firstly Elizna has used the La Di Da range to create this gorgeous layout of her daughter, I love the sweet little butterflies that she has stamped and cut out to add to her layout.

I loved the glitter flowers from the pages in the Paper Pad. I cut them out and used them as “embellishment” on this page. I added “bling” to the flowers as flower centres. The little file tabs, scalloped edges and tags are all from the 6×6 inch paper pad. I love the paper pad for all the little add-ons… it makes it sooooooooo easy to embellish layouts! I have used the small Kaisercraft butterfly stamp for the gorgeous little butterflies on this page. I embellished their bodies with a few rhinestones.

Close up of the gorgeous butterflies:

Layout: Dream, Imagine, Believe – Elizna

This paper range just suited this “winged” photo of my daughter…so fairy tale like…The colours are soft and subtle and just perfect for this photo. I wanted to use both quotes printed on the Kaisercraft papers, and had to work around them to design this layout. The soft colours….the lace, stitching, flowers and little bird stamp added to the dreamy feel of this page.

Alison Callcott!

“Heh!  I’m Alison but my friends call me Alz.  I’m 41 and live in Melbourne with my husband Geoff and our 15 years old ‘fur baby’ Max.  I’ve been scrapping for over four years now.  I don’t have a particular style, although I do like layers, using various techniques, and getting a bit messy.  Not having children my scrapping subjects vary from Max, Geoff and I, and friends’ children to family history and travel.  When not scrapping I love to travel, go to the movies, shop for home décor and furniture (we’re building a new house!!), read, and hang out with friends”.
