Hey there!  I spent the majority of today (ok all of it) in my craft room sorting, culling, organising and arranging all my supplies and goodies and I have so much more space in here now!  Paul put up the shelving in our newly created step-in cupboard in the lounge room yesterday and I happily handed over all the camping gear that lived in my craft room so now I have just ‘my stuff’ in here and it feels great!  I think I’ll be off to IKEA again for more storage boxes sometime soon.

Ok the real reason for this post is to show you a scrap page I made with one of the pics from our summer holidays.  I just love this pic of Paul and Matt and am quite happy with how this turned out, especially considering I’m not really a scrapper.

I made this at a recent workshop where my hostess had requested to see some of our tools so here I have used several.  Firstly, the Funky Forest wheel in Old Olive on Old Olive 8 x 8 cardstock, the paper piercer and matt pack on the Choc Chip cardstock and the Crimper on the Sahara Sand cardstock as a background matting for the photo which I think fits in with the rustic nature of the pic.  I also showcased the Stampa-ma-jig to line up the trees with the trunks using the Trendy Trees stamp set which I rock’n'rolled with Choc Chip and Old Olive then punched them out the 1 1/4″  and 1 3/8″ circles punches.  Finally I used the Stampa-ma-jig again for the sentiment (Life Definitions) placement.

 Here’s a close up to see the finer detail:

Even though this appears to be quite a simple page there are a few techniques and tools used to showcase our wonderful Stampin’ Up! products!  I hope you like it!

I’ll be back soon with some goodies from the upcoming Autumn/Winter Mini Catalogue.  Have a great week!

Cheers
