Hello friends, it is the weekend - woohoo! Thanks so much for stopping by I hope you are inspired by your visit! I have been working on a lot of things,but am unable to show them at this time - Design Team projects and Commissions - but all in good time! I do have a layout to share with you - I have decided that as the 'Memory Keeper' of the family I need to document some of my own memories - and this is definitely a favourite...one of the Retreats I was so blessed to attend with Spellbinders...
I have used the paper and stickers from Kaisercraft Kaleidascope Collection (an older Collection) - such pretty colours - makes me smile just looking at it.
The photos are some of my favourite moments and have been cut/embossed using Spellbinders Nestabilities Fancy Edged Squares Etched Dies and sanded around the embossed edges using a Sanding Block - my favourite way of distressing. The photo on the bottom left is a Class that Stacey taught - sharing her real passion - I loved every second of it - Stacey is such a beautiful person and her passion inspiring - it has been an honour to be know as one of 'Staceys's Girls' for some of this amazing journey. I have used stickers from the Kaisercraft Collection along with Little Birdie Crafts Handmade Embellishments - the Cactus are perfect for the Arizona based layout!
The beautiful flowers are also by Little Birdie Crafts - the Beaded Blooms and I have added some stickers to create a little journaling. I have also added some chipboard from Prima, a handmade embellishment and the gorgeous peacock feather, which I picked up in a crazy shopping spree with the other International Ambassadors. The chipboard is from Little Birdie Crafts - it certainly says it all - DREAM BIG - I would never have imagined that this would be part of my amazing journey - me a card maker in my little suburb - but theses things do happen...so DREAM BIG!!

Your so lucky to have retreats where you live. I don't have anyone who lives near me who crafts and there are the odd Scrapbooking retreat around the country but no card making ones. I bet they would be so much fun!! Gorgeous way to remember the fun times and the papers you used are stunning, especially love all the flower embellishments. Its a fabulous layout and I'm so glad you shared it with us at TIME OUT!
