i finally got some time to play catchup with some of Jayson's paragliding layouts. I have been dying to just get at least a single album up to date - currently a million and one layouts are all filed in lever arch file holders. they are the perfect size to keep the layouts in, but enough is enough. I have enough photos of the paragliding to keep me going for a while still...and it is about time i got that up to date at least!

my new favourite embellishments...pearls

and an old favourite...7gypsies 97% complete stickers. they seem to have something
for anything you want to say - and with a whole lot of humor added too!

supplies: card stock Bazzill Basics. Patterned paper Fabscraps. Stickers 7Gypsies. Ink Ranger Industries. Other Tag, embroidery thread, circle punch, craft foam and sanding block.

i am thrilled to announce that i am now part of this fabulous family
as a design team member! I love what Regina has accomplished with the site
and it really does combine my true passions - scrapbooking and stamping!
head on over to www.scrapandstampsaturday.blogspot.com
to see who else is part of the family and for some serious inspiration!
we are a great bunch of talent and hope that you will find lots of inspiration and come and play along with us each week ... and to win some fabulous prizes too!
off...to pinch myself again... and get cracking on some deadlines!

this layout was done a few weeks ago when cariena sent me some
of the fabulous making memories papers. The layout features my friend and scrapbooking genius Melissa from Kaisercraft in Australia. I kept it clean and simple focusing on the photos and the pretty embossed paper from India. I heart my embossed papers!
this has been a crazy busy week with projects coming out of my ears and piled high onto my table...with barely 6 inches of working space on my desk and stuff all across my lounge!
How does that always happen? i look forward to the end of the month when these projects are collected and returned only towards the end of the year....when they will be new and fresh and beautiful again! hope you have a wonderfully creative weekend ahead.
