Swimming is one of James' {Mel's son} newest hobbies. In this layout Mel stitched the Strano ribbon into position, creating a wave effect on the ribbon to represent the swirls of the water. The Heidi Swapp endless summer decorative tape was a nice finishing touch to the page combined with a splash of hand stitching.
Rach has a tradition of going to the Australian Open every year, and so wanted to capture that on a layout! Rach has used circular elements to convey the theme and created these fun green & white striped tennis balls by adhering the Alice Strano Ribbon to circles, trimming them and then adding some pen lines. Around her ticket case (which contains her tickets) she put the details of the two visits, who she went with and who she saw.
Tamar loves the photo editing process - it's a chance to create and turn the photos into something like they should look - if she was a photographer. Tamar edited these very ordinary shots with some tricks she learnt on a photography blog and she liked they way they turned out.
Tamar kept the layout simple - focusing on the black and white conversion by using lots of black and distressed white. The pink BasicGrey ribbon softens the look as does the painted pink centre heart.
Caz’s two daughters love to dance. Jazz, tap, ballet, hip-hop and ballroom. There isn’t really a dance around that they haven’t tried yet. Jordan is shown pictured with some of her dance shoes, about to go to dance classes. She gave Caz one shot to get a photo of her. Luckily it worked.
As the wall colour was very hard to match, Caz chose a strano ribbon that had quite different colours as a contrast. The heading is made with Heidi Swapp ghost letters and a button with a ‘J’ on it finishes off the simple embellishments.
Marni and her husband love to read, resulting in a bookshelf full of books. They read every night before going to sleep and sometimes even like to curl up with a book on a lazy afternoon after work. Marni particularly loves the way a good book can open your mind and take you to another world.
For this layout she chose to work with mostly Basic Grey product. Marni cut out flowers from the Romani range of papers and layered them on top of each other with foam tape. To add some more interest she also put the flowers down on some strips of co-ordinating Strano Design ribbon. To finish the layout off and create her title Marni used some Basic Grey letters stickers, Blush monograms and Heidi Swapp rub-ons.
