'The Fruits of Your Labours' I created using the 'Dutch Mustard Soup' range which is in gorgeous shades of browns, greens and oranges - almost autumnal - which are very much my colours. I 'gutted' two of the papers to allow me to use the inards for matting etc and also sewed around the frames and down the middle of the three butterflies so that their wings could be lifted. There are two butterflies that come on the diecut sheet and so I used the hole that was left when I pushed one out to use as a template for another butterfly as I wanted three!

These gorgeous photos are of one of my Godsons on his fifth birthday when he visited 'Build-a-bear' and actually chose a dog (he is dog mad) instead of a bear but he loved it! I once again used the Dutch Mustard Soup range (I told you I loved it!) as the tones worked perfectly picking up the bear and flooring in the photos. I tore one of the sheets of paper and then wet the edges so that I could curl them in. When they are dry they stiffen and so stay as you have molded them which gives a great 3D effect.

This gorgeous layout, 'Free Wheeling', is by Nicky and uses the beautiful, summery papers from the 'Blossom Soup' range. I just love how she has created the flowers along the top, it really adds to the carefree feel of this layout. She has also cut out some of the clouds from the 'Corn Kernals' sheet and added a foam pad behind to give a bit of depth to her layout and to make them stand out from the cardstock below.
