Decorations (Maureen W) AUST

Morning  all

Its a beautiful  clear  blue skies today, much cooler than yesterday.  Although they have said showers today. 

I cut this layout out yesterday using scraps from a few different collection.  There is a bit of Kaisercraft and Uniquely Creative but not sure which collections they are so have not written any instructions . Found the frame last week when I was cleaning out my dye cuts.

The layout is for a challenge at Rochelle Spears , this is a sketch. I can also enter it in her Scrappy Friends bonus challenge  at Scrap with Stacy if I use her Tic Tack Toe Board,  which I have done. I have used the top Row: Frame, Enamel Dots and Tag

Why not join in the fun and get some photos scrapped

"Hello School" : Lasting Memories No 563 DT post

 Morning all

Its Sunday morning cloudy and overcast.

Its time for the  new month Challenge over at Lasting Memories.

https://kcclayoutchallenges.blogspot.com/

The challenge this month will be all about pattern paper. I cannot believe its already nearly September and Spring here in Australia . Hopefully it will warm up soon as I am tired of the cold mornings in single digits and with the warmer weather it may slow down the number of COVID cases and help with Lockdowns. Although not in Lockdown as is many parts of Australia. We would still like to travel interstate and see our children . Enough about that it time to get on with the first weeks challenge: Use POLKA DOT paper on your page.

It was hard. didn't realise I only had scrap bits, so need to find something that would go with my sketch design. So out come the scrap box. I think it has worked well.
