Patterned Papers

I have new patterned papers in store and love them.  They are simple and easy to use, with small repetitive patterns and strong colours.  So far I have scrapped three layouts with them and plan to scrap more over the weekend.  Below are the new papers and my 3 layouts (one I shared last week, sorry to post it again).  These patterned papers make up my monthly patterned paper pack that can be ordered as a subscription for 12 months and comes with matching Bazzill Cardstock. All subscriptions come with a complimentary 13th month (postage only).

These papers are double sided and the reverse side is just as great (so far I have used the reverse side more). As you can see I still have plenty of great colours to take advantage of in these papers. Hopefully next week I will have had some time to play more with them. Have a great week.

    

Inspired by a card

Last weekend I had two family members with birthdays. In my usual fashion I had presents and no cards, so rather than run to the shop I pulled out my papers and came up with the two cards below. 

 I was really happy with the colours and simplicity of the brighter card and later decided to use it as inspiration for a layout.

The other exciting thing this week is the new blog some Aussie Girls have put together.  Those of you who love simple scrapbooking will love this.  Check it out here.

This week they posted their first blog challenge.  Below is my interpretation.  Thanks for the inspiration girls.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back soon with some more layouts.

New Patterned Papers

Well it certainly has been a long time since I have blogged.  Each week time seems to fly past and somehow before I know it we are almost at the end of March in 2011. Wow!!

Every month I pack up a patterned paper subscription and last month when the papers arrived from the wholesaler I was so excited and inspired to scrap.  Below are 2 layouts I have created with the papers from the pack and I plan to do some more, they are so beautiful and easy to use.

The patterned papers used in these layouts come from the Basic Grey Off Beat Range and are available through our website - view here.

Patterned paper monthly/bi monthly subscriptions are also available and come with matching Bazzill cardstock.  Subscribe now to receive March's box.

On both layouts I have made use of some RW laser cut chipboard alphas and in the first layout used the RW Raspberry Whirl 7 laser cut.  I painted all the laser cuts and then added "Glossy Accents" to give them a bit of a lift.  The alphas are great for lettering because you can paint or ink them in any colour you like to tie in with your layouts.  They are available in individual letters or as a set - view here.

Have a great week and I will be back soon.
