This week I had these two layouts up on the CVS blog (http://cocoavanilla.com.au/blog/), one using the negative of a quick cut file I did up and the other using the cut out! Waste not, want not I say! There's also been lots of other fantastic projects up on the blog from other members of the design team this week so make sure you stop by to check them out.

Thanks for stopping by,
Until next time x

A super simple wedding card

It's been a quiet scrapbooking week here in the Griffin household, busy with work and social events! Today DH is a groomsman for a friend's wedding so I made a simple card with my Silhouette.

Until next time,

First Cocoa Vanilla Studio Layout!

A quick post today- my first design team post was up over on the Cocoa Vanilla Studio Blog
yesterday, I am so in love with the blue floral paper I have backed behind this large title (The Cut Shoppe cut file), so pretty! The entire Sugar and Spice collection is darling! The design team is scheduled to post almost every day this month so make sure you stop by regularly to check out all their amazing work.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mother and Daughter Layout

Just a quick share with a layout from the weekend (thought I better use up the negative of the heart cut file I used on another page- I hate wasteage!)- one of my favourite photos of my mum and I from my wedding.

Kraft+ Challenge

Back already to share another of this weekend's layouts- this one for the brand new challenge blog Kraft+ (http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/). I don't even remember the last time I used a Kraft base for a layout so this was a great challenge for me, stepping outside my comfort zone a little! This Kaisercraft kraft heart paper was so cute though! It came together quite quickly once I had painted the hearts, nice and simple!

Scrap Frenzy

So I had the night to myself last night and scrapped for hours, and today I continued- SIX layouts in 24 hours, that's a record for me!

The first was a nice quick layout, it came together easily with a bunch of American Crafts papers from a 'best of' pad I bought at Spotlight recently and a Silhouette cut file.

 

And since three of the layouts were DT work for Cocoa Vanilla Studio you'll have to wait to see those, but here's a sneak peek:

I am soooo in love with that blue floral paper! If you need some in your life too head to www.cocoavanilla.com.au

Today's Layouts

Whilst I'm waiting on my Cocoa Vanilla Studio design team pack to arrive I decided to have a play with some other bits lying around my scrap room. This first layout started out completely different. Although one main part remained the same- I was determined to do a patterned paper dominated background since I realised almost all of my recent layouts have been based on white cardstock! I had laid everything out then cut the photo and realised it didn't suit the original layout, disaster! But I started from scratch, and although I wasn't quite convinced it was going to work, right at the last minute it seemed to all fall into place.

This second one was just a quick and easy layout with one of my favourite photos:
