Today is the beginning of my shared blogging week over at Kaisercraft with the very talented Kerryn and Camilla! We have a heap of fabulous ideas to share, starting with hidden journaling.

Here's my layout...

{Special Day}

November's release, After Five, has such beautiful and rich neutral tones, that you could create any themed layout. Mine is based on a moment while we were camping!! LOL! Go figure!

This collection is most definitely suited for weddings, anniversaries and special occassion type layouts, but I challenge you to look beyond that and create something more! ;D

Anyway... here's my hidden journaling...


I've sewn a pocket to my layout and used hidden journaling simply because I wanted my layout to have a clean and polished look. I wanted to tell the story, but I didn't want to have journaling covering my page.

So stay tuned for some more shares throughout the week. Thanks for visiting...x

It's newsletter time again over at the Boxx. I am still contributing to the Book Of You kits and this latest one is delightful...

This page was a little bit challenging for me, since I don't really do a lot of "shabby" but I definitely had fun cutting bits and pieces up!

{10 yrs}

journaling: "10 yrs and growing up too fast. This year you wanted make-up & high heels!

{Sweetest Day}

journaling: "Her happiness is simple..raindrops on a sunny day...flowers and butterflies...a kiss and some loving words. joy in the most purest form."

The double scallop fan adds a touch of whimsy to my page and the Kaisercraft pearls give the butterfly extra dimension...

And being a thrifty scrapper! hee! I also made this little card which has already been passed on and being enjoyed (I hope!)....
