Fayette

Hi everyone,
I thought I would post a picture of a scrapbook page I made using Stampin'Up! punches to make hand made flowers. I made this page for the Perth Heartfelt Stampin' Event. The flowers could be used for anything, cards, bags, boxes or anything that needs some dimension.
I have used a picture of my beautiful little dog called Fayette (Little Angel).
Fayette is my best little friend and companion, love her.
I hope you enjoy this happy and bright page quite different from my usual style.
Cheers Gail.

Scrapbook Page

Hi everyone, welcome back.

The post for today is a scrapbook page I have done for my granddaughters birthday.

I have not posted a picture as I do not like to have images on the internet also you can imagine your own photo in the place I have created for the photo.
The space for the photo is 6" x 8".
I will be posting more scrapbook pages in the future as I like to use the 12" x 12" papers in the Stampin"up! range.
The new class schedule will be posted soon for mid September.
Not long before it will be time to start our Christmas cards and decorations.
Be back soon.
Gail.
