February Layout Map and Layouts

Sorry it's late, here is the layout map for February and a couple of layouts. Stay tuned for the video!

New Layout

I recently held an online stamping party in my chat room, and one of the projects was this layout. You can watch the video here, and if you want to view the other project and all of the information about the party, VISIT THIS LINK.

December Layouts- Part 2

This layout of Sophie is one of my favourites. Stampin' Up! makes life so easy, because everything matches. Ribbons match paper which matches inks and so it goes on. The colours on this page are Soft Sky, Pretty in Pink and Sahara Sand. 

I stamped the swirl in Pretty in Pink on the Sahara Sand cardstock first and then layered the papers over the top.

I pulled out some matching ribbons and they looked so pretty together, so I decided to braid them down the side of the page. I stuck them to the back with tape and then just braided as I went, sticking it down with SNAIL adhesive every so often. I used a big silver brad at the bottom to pull it all together- I am in love with the result!

The silver frame has the word "Cherish" stamped in the pink inside. For the title, I stamped the alphabet letters and cut them out. I purposefully stuck them down all higgeldy-piggeldy (is that even a word!) so that I would not have to go mad trying to line them up!

This layout of my sister Megan illustrates how changing your colour scheme can totally change the look of a layout. The M is another chipboard piece, which I coloured in with green marker (Certainly Celery) and edged with a brown marker (Chocolate Chip).

The embellishment on the right is made with the following punches:

*Scallop circle
*1-3/8" circle
*1-1/4" circle
*5-Petal Flower
*Spring Flower Bouquet

December 2008 Layouts - Part 1

I am thrilled to share my layouts for December, would love to know what you think! And even more, I would love to see what you can do with this month's page map.


This layout of Sharon and Sophie would work really well as a double layout to go with the layout from last month's video. All I would do is swap the two embellishments over, so that the flower was on the left of the photo and the Girlie Girl on the right. The two layouts could then sit beautifully side by side in your album.

This page is made using the Crew Kids Girl kit, which includes 8 sheets of 12" x 12" cardstock and 6 sheets of adhesive die cuts. Our die cuts are re-positionable for up to 24 hours too which makes life much easier if you are lying in bed and trying to decide if you placed the flower on the correct side of the page! You can go to sleep easy kowing that you can fix it in the morning!

The cost of this kit is $36.95, please email me at rozzieoz@tpg.com.au for ordering details.

This layout of my son Dylan (who is now 17!) illustrates how you can use a title on this month's page map. The "d" is a chipboard letter, which I coloured with a marker. I struggled for months to ink chipboard pieces on ink pads until it struck me that the markers and ink pads are exactly the same ink.....I felt so stupid but there you go, markers work great on chipboard!

This is the final layout for November. Enjoy the video!
