Eiffel Tower

 
I used the Tami Potter  Mosaic Moment method
 to create this scrapbook page.
Seven photos, taken from atop the Eiffel Tower, showing
a view in all directions,  were cut into one inch squares.
Then, I cut out a close up of the tower and  affixed with pop dots
to the bottom center of the page.
I am very please with the results.

Teapot Treat box

 
 August is my month to invite a group of friends to
our monthly gathering and I chose the  English Rose Tea
Room in Virginia Beach.  Thought these little teapot
treat boxes would be the perfect favor to give everyone.
 
 Found a free download template on Pinterest. made
a copy, then printed the teapots on patterned papers.
 Tweezer scissors worked best  for cutting round the  curves.
 
 
Once assembled, I filled with candies of choice,
added a fabric flower and tied with white ribbon.
 
One lucky gal will be chosen, at random, to be the
recipient of  a gift bag containing something
related to the event. Perhaps a beautiful teapot,
cookies and assorted teas.

Soccer Pages

 These are the two pages I  created yesterday  using
the Lanzarote stencil from AZZA.
Granddaughter is the goalie for the Liberty Girls
of Yorktown, Virginia.
 
 
 
 
After placement of the pictures and papers I 
shaded the other areas with a pastel pencil.

The Hermione docked in Yorktown, Virginia June 6-8th, 2015.
This is a replica of the vessel that brought Marquis de Lafayette
to America. Other pictures taken of activities and
places in Yorktown.  The Hermione will also visit many
ports along the East Coast as she makes her way to Nova Scotia.

Azza scrapbook pages

 
 
These pictures of  our  visit to  Mont Saint Michel were taken
on our October trip to France. I used the AZZA Sofia-Lima
Stencil. Their templates are a great bargain as one gets two
per package so the  possibilities for page layouts are endless.
 

 
I  ordered my templates after googling AZZA and found
Lyn Holmes web site. She was most helpful in telling
me how to order etc. and when finalized, shipment
from Australia only took about ten days. There
are lots of page layouts on Pinterest done with
the many templates they offer.

First AZZA Scrapbook Page

 
I am so excited to post my first scrapbook page using
the AZZA  Bilbao template. The Cherry tree is made with
a stamp from the AZZA Therma kit using Wild Wasabi
ink pad from Stampin Up. The birdcage came in this
kit also, which I darkened with black ink for a wrought
iron look and hung from the tree branch with a thin
cord pierced through the paper. The cherry blossoms
colored using Peach (R32) Copic  marker.
 
I have seen this technique on Pinterest for some time and
finally found a consultant in Australia.   I was so excited
when my order arrived Thursday and could hardly wait
 for the weekend to do my first page. When I ordered
 my templates, I thought I was getting one template
 for each selection but to my surprise, each had two
 templates so the possibilities will be endless!!

Great Grandson

 
What a cutie! I'm sure you can tell there will be plenty of
him in future scrapbook pages.
 
After selecting my background paper, I used the Cricut
cartridge Animal Kingdom for the giraffe and Mini Monograms
for the lettering.
