456 - Celebrate YOUR country!
To keep in line with our Patriotism theme this month, we are asking you to celebrate your own country this week!
I can't wait to share my very Aussie layout with you all. 

LASTING MEMORIES LAYOUT CHALLENGES 

How are you doing with your layouts so far this month? If you've struggled a little, then this will be the perfect opportunity to catch up..

Make sure you keep an eye on my blog, as I've got plenty of other makes (especially cards) to share with you all..

This is one of my favourite paper collections from Kaiser.. "Open Road"

I recently joined in an online crop, the theme was very Australian in the challenges.. Unfortunately, even though I was so excited to join in, I wasn't able to as I had nothing that would suit the theme.

THEN JUST A WEEK LATER - I found this paper pad at Spotlight... lol..

I knew I had this DT make coming up, so quickly snapped it up and were very excited to finally be able to use something Aussie themed..

Using plenty of goodies from the 6x6 paper pad, I measured and cut, measured and cut then matted and matted.. lol..

I decided that even though our outback colours are very deep and neutral tones, I wanted to spark it up with some blue that can be spotted on the Kookaburra's..

Then once it was all stuck down, it just didn't look finished.. So one of the papers is actually full of these little tag things.. Out came the scissors for fussy cutting. I back these with 3D tape and popped them up for some extra dimension on the layout.. 

What do you think?

 Thank you very much for joining me today and I'm so excited to be able to share with you all the creations for my first month back joining the Lasting Memories Design Team! 

I really hope that you will drop by the blog and check out the inspiration from the rest of the team members and then get creative to link up your own entry.. There is plenty of options for this challenge theme, we all have something we are proud of about our country laying around somewhere.. lol 

Thanks again, Toni.. xoxo
