Australian Scrapbooking Ideas Issue 23 - Christmas ideas


Hi everyone, 

Today I am sharing another two layouts which are
featured in the magazine
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas" Issue 23

In this latest magazine there are
some FREE "Ruby Rock it" Christmas papers.

I had to create two pages using these
free Christmas papers to give readers
ideas on how to create with them.

Now the papers are lovely, bright with traditional
christmas colours
red, green and white, 
which are sometimes really hard for me  
to create with, as I really love 
more vintage papers!
(so this was a bit of a challenge for me)

Merry Christmas




I fussy cut some of the poinsettias and layered
them with foam tape to give them a bit more
dimension and layers to the page. 

The next page
is of my sister and her family, they
have a family photo taken with Santa
every year for their Christmas card
that they send to everyone each year.
Great idea!!!

On Santa's Lap

The whole issue is celebrating Christmas
with many gorgeous projects and layout ideas
for you to create, designed and created by some
wonderful talented creatives.


and its out NOW!!!!!!
Have a great week
Cheers Adriana XX :)

Australian Scrapbooking Ideas Issue 23 - Christmas Morning


Hi everyone, 

Today I am sharing a layout which is
featured in the latest magazine
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas" Issue 23

This is Christmas layout of my daughter, Jess.
Last Christmas she received from
Santa a "Furby", they are a
cute little purple fur ball that purrs like a kitten
and giggles when tickled under her chin.
But if you don't play with Furby,
it gets a little annoyed, and sometimes will get angry.
My daughter always tries to play with it
so it doesn't get angry!!!!

She loves her Furby....


The papers are from Kaisercraft "Holly Bright".

There are many Christmas projects and
ideas, grab your copy today.

That's all today
Thanks for looking

Vintage Heirloom Altered shoes


Hi everyone, today I have my  
Vintage altered shoes to share with you all.


My commissioned assignment in 
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas" Issue 21 
I had to alter 3 different types of shoes.
I did a Steampunk shoe and a Shabby Chic shoe and
I also created a Vintage pair of children's
satin shoes in a box.

I altered this pair of shoes
to make them look very old.
Placed them in a framed box, lots of vintage satin lace, pearls and velvet shabby flowers.





The new issue of 
"Australian Scrapbooking Ideas Magazine"
Issue 23
will be out next week!!!
It is jam packed with inspirational 
Christmas projects and ideas.
There is also a
great free paper pack from "Ruby Rock-it"

included in the magazine.
That's all for today :)

Enjoy the little things Card - Couture Creations



Hello there everyone, 
is it my turn again today 
Today I have created a card, adding some diecuts from the

The die I used in this layout is called

C0723486  PIPPA


Here is my card



I cut 3 of the Pippa diecut with three different papers and 
placed them on top of each other, slightly over to the side of each one. 
This creates a look of flowers in a field, and
diecut of more Butterflies were added.


Closeup of the diecut on the bottom of the card


HANDY TIP: always place sticky Ejection Foam sheet on these diecuts before
you use them with your papers. The papers just pop off the die cuts when
you have placed some Stick-on ejection foam sheets on them, and then place them
through your diecut machine.
These are available from Couture Creations .

Thanks for looking :)
