 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a double (yes you read that correctly) layout using the Our Story Collection from Celebr8. I haven't created a double layout in years because my preference is single page layouts. Celebr8's collections are coordinated perfectly for double layouts so I thought, why not? The photos I have used are my mum when she had a photo shoot done by Columbia Studios.

Here are some close ups of my layout to see how I've created and embellished the page.

Other Products Used:

Celebr8 Chipboard Title - MB4629 Blooming Into a Woman
Celebr8 Chipboard Title - MB3624 Family is a Gift

Tim Holtz Distress Ink - Abandoned Coral

 Hi everyone! Today I want to share something a little different. I've been looking for something to do because I have to admit, I'm bored. Being mostly a self taught papercrafter and creative all my life, local classes aren't enough to grab my attention. I need a challenge! Well... I found it!

Mum and I attended a painting class at Auzz Trinklets & Crafts run by Kristy from Kreate It. Kristy is a very talented painter and an excellent teacher. Her classes are so much fun! This is the piece we did at her class on 22 June at Auzz Trinklets & Crafts here in Brisbane.

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing a layout that I created using the beautiful Dreamer collection from Mintay. Being a lover of all things purple, I couldn't resist this collection. It worked so well with a photo from my 17th birthday. I even dragged out my hotfoil machine for this one!

Here is my layout plus close up photos so you can see how I've embellished the page.

 Hi everyone! Today I'm sharing the third and final of three layouts that I created for Celebr8/Celebr8 Australia as a Guest Designer. The collection I have used is called Bold & Brave, great for any masculine layout whether it be young, old or anywhere else in between!

This layout was designed for the father/man in uniform based on my father when he was in the police force. Here is my layout plus close up photos so you can see how I've embellished the page. All products used (excluding inks) are from the Bold & Brave bulk pack.

 A big thank you to Dennis and Erin Bruton from Celebr8 and Jenny Heaslip from Celebr8 Australia for the opportunity to guest design for this wonderful South African company.

Thanks for stopping by, happy crafting.
