We greet the new year with our first weekend inspiration post.
We have a commitment this year to share even more layouts with you and we'd love your help with this. We will be publishing a schedule of the manufacturers we're showcasing in our upcoming weekend inspiration posts in the sidebar of this blog. We'd love you to email us at aussiedt@iinet.net.au if you have a layout you'd like to share that makes great use of products from any of those manufacturers and we'll be adding four of them to the end of each weekend inspiration post. We'll still be bringing you layouts from our talented design team of course, as well as any others we spot that we love and want to share, but some do slip by us and it's those ones we want you to bring to our attention.
And now we kick off with a vibrant and inspiring collection of Sassafras Lass layouts from our own design team and other talented scrappers.
When Chris saw the colours in the Indian Summer range she knew they'd be perfect for this wedding photo she's been waiting to scrapbook. Chris layered the papers and teamed them up with Basic Grey alphabet stickers to create this layout. The title is from one of her favourite songs by Bernard Fanning. Photo by Studio 7.
Chris felt these Sassafras Lass Indian Summer papers were just begging to be cut into. The flowers and swirls then become accents on her page. The buttons and hand drawn border finish it off nicely.
Caz is working on an album for herself based on her fellow design team member Nic Howard's book, "That's Life". There is a chapter on Innermost Thoughts, and while Caz's thoughts are usually a turmoil of what is to be done and what she has forgotten, she chose to do a layout about a place that she can really relax.
The warmth in these Indian Summer papers by Sassafrass Lass echo the warmth in the suns rays as it sets on the beach.
When we saw these two layouts on Janine Kaye's blog we knew we needed to share them here as well. She has taken the beautiful Starry Nights range of Sassafras lass papers and created a cool beauty with her Christmas photos. We love her 'rusty stuff' too!
Another fabulous Aussie talent, Danielle Quarmby has kindly allowed us to share a couple of her Sassafras Lass layouts as well. Using Owl Pals papers in 'i lub it' and the ever popular spots from the Indian Summer range, Danielle shows us a freer approach to scrapbooking that we just 'lub' too!
Showing us how to use the Felicity range is Fiona Leehane with this gorgeous layout of her daughter. Fiona has set the papers against the black background for an eye-catching effect. Thank you for sharing your creation with us Fiona.
We loved Fiona Leehane's work so much we wanted to share another of her gorgeous layouts with you! Here Fiona has used the Indian Summer range to scrap this absolutely adorable photo of her pooch! Fiona has also added some Basic Grey rub-ons for good measure. Thanks for sharing Fiona!
We thank Francine Clouden for this final layout using the Indian Summer papers. She lives in Lyon France, where amazing mushrooms like this abound. She said she took these photos whilst picking mushrooms, they reminded her of all those Enid Blyton books she used to read. Thanks for allowing us to share Francine - I remember those Enid Blyton books too!!
