I've been busy creating! What fun!

I've had a little bit of time to play with our products recently and I've thoroughly enjoyed "scrapping" some of the photos from my recent family holiday to Bali!



This layout uses the September Stamp of the Month Pinwheel Stamp Set which is available for $5 when you spend $75 or more.  The title has been cut with the Cricut machine.


This layout is stamped with the "You only Live Once" Hostess Rewards stamp set.

 

On this double page spread I've actually used the Baby Cakes paper range....who would have thought that you could use Baby paper with holiday snaps! And I've used the Cricut for the title again.

I hope you've enjoyed seeing my pages as much as I've enjoyed creating them....untl next time!
