The first layout was for the Shop 101 assignment (what we call 'Manual Arts' or 'Industrial Arts' class in Australia). The criteria was to create a layout that clearly shows some creative use of tools.

I used a decorative edge punch to make some flowers - I've never tried this before and I was pleased with the result. Basically I just punched some strips of paper, and pleated them in a spiral pattern from outside to centre, and secured on a small circle. Easy-peasy! And for my second tool, I used my smallest scissors to fussy-cut some birds from patterned paper.
The next one is for the Scrap Boutique Stylist Challenge - Manon set a challenge to create a layout with a spring theme, and using handmade flowers:

(It's a lazy layout, just a single piece of Making Memories patterned diecut paper, and everything else slapped down on top, with a little bit of fussy cutting to overlap the photographs. The background isn't part of the layout - I just placed it on a pizza box to photograph it.) And I can never resist a little detail shot; I am in love with these flowers!
I love the flowers you made for Shop 101, I am a little behind with my uni at present, so I will have to pull my horns in as the classes for the week will be up later tonight hey. I love the second one too, you know those flowers you make are just beautiful, beats just sticking down a bought one, and they look really good too. Had a little laugh though when you said you just slapped them down lol, I feel like that sometimes too. Melxx
