Welcome to Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop. We are a group of Australian Stampin’ Up!® Demonstrators that are coming together to share our creative ideas with you. We are happy that you can join us and hope that we can Inspire you to make creations of your own. Each month we will be showing different ideas based around products, themes and challenges.
Our theme this month for the Let’s Craft Together Blog Hop is a ‘Photo Inspiration Challenge’ created by me…the challenge is to let this image inspire you on either a card or scrapbook layout. So it could be the textures such as the barnwood of the barn, colours of the flowers or just the use of flowers.
I enjoy English Paper Piecing (Patchwork) and these dies from the Meant to Bee Dies, are a 1-1/4 ” dies, the smallest of 5 dies, I could only create 2 of the “Grandmothers Flowers Garden Block” pieces or part of the block pattern, due to size of the dies. It took a lot of playing around to create the right layout so you could see the elements.
How I created my page…
To make to the hexigons stand out on the page, I linked around the edges with Memento Tuxedo Black Ink.
I have three photos on this layout, the third photo is hidden under the 4 x4 photo at the top of the page with the use of a ‘Flip Flap’.along with the journaling, behind the photo. I decided that if I used the third photo on the layout it would have covered up too much of the hexi’s.
The title was created with Alphabet A La Mode Dies, die cut in Misty Moonlight and Basic Black Cardstock. By layering the dies on top of each other and slightly off set it creates a shadow line and helps the lettering to ‘POP’.
To finish my page I added some splatters in Tuxcedo Black and Misty Moonlight Ink.

Welcome to my Blog….over the last few months I have been trying to get back into Scrapbooking, which is something I used to do well before card making. And what better way then participating in a challenge.
Today I’m taking part in the ‘Scrapbook Global Blog Hop’, This challenge, a sketch challenge was designed by my lovely friend Julia Quinn.
Julia has created this wonderful sketch, which I thought would work well with my photo’s and who doesn’t love a great sketch to work with.
Added texture was added with the grid stamp from Heirloom Arrangements and a splatter stamp from the Elements of Text Stamps with the Pecan Pie Ink making sure to stamp off so to get a lighter aged look and feel.
As the photo’s are a little larger than what is shown on the sketch, I placed my title at the top of the layout. The title was cut using a Silhouette Cameo and Basic White Cardstock.
The combination of sepia-toned photos with the vibrant florals from the Heirloom Arrangements Kit create a beautiful contrast.
I hope you have enjoyed my Layout using Julia’s Sketch. Please follow on and have a look at what everyone else has created with this sketch. Links are below…Enjoy!

Today I am taking part in the Scrapbook Sunday Blog Hop, I am using the ‘Everyday You and Me Scrapbooking Workshop Kit‘ by Stampin’ Up!®. This Kit has all the products in it to create 3 double page layouts, including all the cutting guides, Designer Series Paper, sticker sheet, die cuts and photo placement mats.
The Everyday You & Me DSP are stunning and even though it has a floral them they can be used for any gender or age. For my layout which is an alternative layout I’ve only used the papers from the workshop kit. I have added elements created using the Seaside Wishes Bundle and Beauty of the Deep Dies.
The story – Seashells & Sand
Recently I was sorting through all my photos trying to get into some sort of order and I came across these photos of my youngest son, Patrick. This was a special holiday….when our boys turned 7years old Joe took them on a holiday, 2 days away doing whatever they wanted. It was a special weekend for father and son to bond. Patrick choose to go to Jarvis Bay to see the Whales or Dolphins, stay with some special friends and to have an adventure.
This is the first layout of a possible 3 layouts.
How I created my page…
Layout
This is a very simple layout as the paper is stunning with a was of colours across the page. I turned one page around so the beige to brown tones almost look like they are going diagonal across both sheets of paper.
To add more texture to the page I teared 1″ (2.5cm) from the top and bottom. By tearing towards myself I was left with the white core of the DSP showing. The reverse side of main DSP is this beautiful elongated spot and I just could through it away, so by flipping it over I was able to slip it under the top sheet to add another layer of texture.
The base of my layout is Pretty Peacock using the lighter side of the Two-Tone Cardstock.
The main photo has been double matted with Basic White and the lighter side of the Pretty Peacock Two-Tone cardstock.The 4 3 x 4″ photos on the left side was just matted on a single mat in the Two-Tone Pretty Peacock.
Die Cuts
Two-Tone Pretty Peacock, dark side – Coral from Beauty of the Deep Bundle.
Basic Beige – Sand Dollars cut with the Seaside Wishes 3D Embossing folder & Die, lightly coloured with a blending brush and Pecan Pie Ink.
Petal Pink – die cut coral from the Seaside Wishes Dies.
Misty Moonlight – Stamped starfish with Night of Navy Ink and die cut using the Seaside Wishes Bundle.
Journal
I love creating my text in Publisher using a text box. I can set this to the finished size I want and by making it to ‘Best Fit’ it will automatically adjust the font size as I go. You just need to be aware that if you have a lot to say, the font size can become a bit small. This can sometimes be fixed by adjusting the size of the Text Box.
I printed the story onto Avery Matte Clear Shipping Labels (purchased through Amazon- sorry No Link, unable to find in AU)
Title
My title I created through my Silhouette Cameo, using Basic White and Pretty Peacock Cardstock (solid core)

On Christmas Day all my boys were home, for the first time in a few years all of them have been together. Two of my boys brought home their partners, two beautiful girls, Georgia and Maddy.
These girls jumped in and helped me prepare Christmas Lunch…It’s so nice having more girls in the family as it has only been me. So having two beautiful daughter (by other mothers), I took the chance and took a photo or selfie of the 3 of us (or Georgia did for me).
It’s a beautiful photo and I wanted to create a special page. As yet I’m still to print the photo, so there is no photo on my page. I will print it as a 4 x 6″ and trim it down to 3 7/8″ to fit on the 4″ mat in Basic White.
I created this page using the beautiful Mixed Media Florals Memories & More Card by Stampin’ Up!®. The Mixed Media Florals are one of the products found in the NEW Jan-April 2025 Mini Catalogue, also in the Online exclusives Stampin’ Up! have also released the Mixed Media Floral Suite Collection. Which includes-
Mixed Media Florals Bundle
Mixed Labels Bundle
Mixed Media Florals Designer Series Paper
Plaster painting 3D Embossing Folder
Low Profile Dots
For this layout I wanted to show how you can use the Memories & More Cards for a more traditional layout, so I created my layout using the 3 x 4″ Mixed Media Cards placed around the 4″ square in the center. The end cards on the top and bottom rows I had to trim down to 2 x 4″, as I wanted a staggered pattern.
Embellishments
Using the Changing Leaves bundle I die cut 6 sets of leaves. I then coloured these lightly with a blending brush and Shy Shamrock Ink. I had also die cut 3 sets of leaves in Basic Black to use instead of the white leaves and had decided not to use them..After my ‘Live’ had finished I decided they would help make the lighter leaves ‘Pop’
The left side large flower and banner embellishments was fussy cut from one of the larger 4 x 6″ cards and it looks stunning with the Boho Blue 3 x 4″ card behind it. I hopped it up on demensionals with leaves die cut from the Changing Leaves Bundle.
The top center embellishment was die cut using one of the circles from the Stylish Shapes Dies. I added dimensionals to the back and attached it to a Basic Black flagged banner, also from the Stylish shapes. I then added leaves Shy Shamrock leaves, then latter adding the black leaves also.
The last embellishment is one of the stickers that comes with the cards. After removing the stickiness with my embossing buddy I attached it to a white banner with dimensions and again slipping the leaves underneath the sticker.
To finish of my layout I added some Ladybird stickers from the sticker sheet and a double bow in white bakers twine.
Tip: I like to add dimensions or glue only to the center areas of my embellishments that allows me room to slip leaves etc underneath. I create this maybe similar to a florist where they work out there main flowers and bring them together before adding in the fillers.

I have used the Classic Wedding Stamps, coordinating Classic Wedding Dies and Marbled Elegance Designer Series Paper by Stampin’ Up!®.
My idea for this card came from a Meme I saw on Facebook, it was a old ute from the back..it was at night and above the ute like balloons in the sky was all these hearts with words of encouragement about Loving yourself.
