August Inspiration Fiskars Challenge - Use Cardstock Only

Just a quick one from me while I have a cuppa before doing the preschool collection run for the day at 11.30am..
Wow! this was such a fun challenge... So right in saying there are so many yummy patterned cardstocks out by Fiskars at the moment. This was such a fun one to play with. I really kept to this challenge too.. making sure that I made my own embellishments from the cardstock I was using, adding a few bits of scrap plain cardstock, and even making my own handcut title from chipboard scraps and covering it with the contrast cardstock I was using. I did however add a few stamps here and there and a bit of kindy glitz for a bit of extra bling to the layout.
Cloud 9 certainly know just how to keep the taste bubs going with their Sunrise Smoothie range..I have had this paper range sitting in my stash just crying out to be hand cut.. I love the flowers in this range.. I had some of the sparkle and the double sided cardstock to play with. My trusty faithful threading water punch also featured in this layout too... don't seem to be able to put it down..lol.. plus using my finger tip craft knife made cutting the flowers and title so much of a breeze that this layout was finished in no time flat.
Here's what I came up with... please excuse the poor light but it is really overcast here in Adelaide today making it hard to take good pictures...

Fiskars Products used in this layout:
Cloud 9 Sunrise Smoothie - Sparkle Paradise Flowers
Cloud 9 Sunrise Smoothie - Paradise Large Flowers
Cloud 9 Sunrise Smoothie - Dots on Teal
Heidi Grace Clear Stamps - Marina Drv and Wild Daisy Road
Fiskars Threading Water Boarder Punch
Fiskars Fingertip Craft Knife
Lil Davis Alphas used as template for handcut title
Why not see if your able to create a layout using JUST cardstock... it is so much fun and really gets your brain ticking..
Have fun and happy creating...

August Inspiration Fiskars Challenge - Nature

I had so much fun doing up this layout using today's prompt... I have had these photos laying around here for ages. When this prompt came up I knew that I just had to play with them. And I must say that the Max Backyard papers were just perfect for them.

We are lucky enough to have family that live 1 1/2 hours drive from where we live in Springton. Springton is situated in the Barossa Valley here in South Australia. They have a large property there where they run beef cattle. We love going up there to help out with the cattle and general jobs around the farm. For the kids it is an amazing opportunity to see a different lifestyle too. They are also able to really experience things there that in the city nothing really compares to. I love being able to go up there for the weekend. The main reasons would be .. no mobile phone (no mobile reception there), no traffic and basicaly a chance to escape and forget about everything that may be happening around you. We don't watch a lot of television while there either.. we play cards.. chat... play board games and work on the farm. Certainly a way of getting back to all things family orientated I feel. I know .... I could go on for ages... I just find the peace and tranquility up there inspiring and very relaxing.. Yes.. even when we are busy...lol....
So.. with this layout I was able to finally scrap to me what is "A Piece of Heaven"... The rich colours of Max's backyard really worked well with showing the comfortable feel of the farm.. and the Cloud 9 Vellum flowers and Heidi Grace flowers are the perfect accent to the paper range.

Fiskars Products used in this layout:
Cloud 9 - Max's Backyard - Meadow Grass Stripe Paper Range
Cloud 9 - Max's Backyard - Double Mat Stack
Cloud 9 Vellum Flowers
Heidi Grace Flowers and Brads
Little Davis Alphabets used as templates on chipboard
Heidi Grace Clear stamps - Urban Acres

Why not have a play with some of your Fiskars goodies and see what you can create with them that has been inspired by nature around you.

Cheers and Happy Scrapping, Michelle
