We were write busy at RTlicious on the weekend too. We had two classes over the weekend including a K & Co layout and an inchies stand we made.

The layout below was based on Rhonda's lovely pink version of the K & Co range. I made a blue version using a photo of my boy Kya sitting on his ice block - we put a block of ice out in the summer and continually wet the papers down to keep him cool in the summer.

The Inchies stand below was lots of fun! This was based on something that Rhonda created also. Check out the different versions our class participants made on our blog site. We used bits of Collections chipboard, Accent Essential (Cricet), book paper, cardboard, gauze, calico and three papers from My Minds Eye and Jenni Bowlin. We also used a tiny bit of German Scrap and Blue Eye Dezines felt, gold ink, texture paste and a Collections image butterfly. Lots of fun.Below is a layout I made a while ago using the Kaiser range that i wanted to share with you. I wanted to keep it fairly simple because I did not want to distract from these gorgeous photos Tracy Monaghan took. I have now framed one of the layouts in my lounge room - I plan on doing lots of frames like this now.

To create this layout I used Websters lace; Kaiser papers; Kaiser pearls and odd buttons and brads.

Well I think i have an engagement on again each night this week so i better go and get this house organised!

Only 11 more sleeps til Santa comes!
