Laura Rumble - Crafter

I was struck by the gorgeous autumnal colours featured in the Quirky Kit I was sent to work with.  What better way to show them off than with leaves and acorns?  It also meant I got to play with my new toy, a Gemini Junior.  It turns out I quite like die cutting!  I also fussy cut a few of the leaf sprigs from the Pink Fresh Mesa paper. I based my layout on a sketch I had drawn up earlier this year. I fixed the leaves in place with a little glue and then ran the layout through my sewing machine using a couple of different coloured threads.  My favourite part of my guest designer package was the Custom Cards - so much so that I have signed up.  I pulled a few of my favourite cards to layer behind my photo and to cut into a heart shape embellishment. In the Pink Fresh Mesa paper there are a few pops of acid yellow that really zing amongst the other colours.  I added in some tangled thread and a few sequins from my stash in the same colour....

I've used up the last of those butterfly stickers.  Oh how I smiled!! It's quite a simple layout with supplies from my Counterfeit Kit.  Just three colours, mint, white and gold - but they are perfect together! I pretty much got a bit of everything in - transparency, tag, alphas, metal embellishment, flair, a button and some gem bows. I'm really pleased with how this one turned out! Thanks for stopping by!

Here is a recent layout of my Gramps' dog. I've used rub ons and stickers.  Crochet and diamante. I've cut around the left overs on a sticker sheet and used the outlines of labels. I've raided Granma's button box    and used sentiment stickers that I wouldn't usually go near.  Very cathartic. Thanks for stopping by
