Brrr cold, rain and stormy outside. The frontlawn is covered in broken off branches from the Kowhai tree. Winter. I am so not a winter person…
Perfect time for a little summer reminder. Had so much fun doing this mini album about Rainer and my lil’ summer trips for my DT stuff over at NZScrapbookShop . using the yummy BasicGrey Boxer range. I designed and cut our various shapes of cardboard by hand… I so need a quickcutz or something. ( Rainer, I hope you are reading this!) Distressed a lot as well as inking up with white for that washed up look. Rather like the way it all came together.
Made a acrylic page- cut our from a giftbox- for the back to keep it nice and tidy.
Oh and dont forget to swing by to admire Hannah’s cool work over at Paperpesto!
TFL and have a wonderful start to the week

GORGEOUS!! I love the Boxer range, I have some but haven’t used it yet … it looks totally perfect for those photos in your album.
And WOW that you cut all the chipboard shapes by hand … I would never have known if you hadn’t said, they look superb!

how did you cut the scallop page! looks brilliant and all flash too, nice work!
edited: Thanks!
Used a scallop trim wrapping that came with my fancy pants stamps as a template. For the blue one I might have used and adapted a paperborder from Sassafraslas Paper.
