More Spring Boulevard Layouts
Hi everyone
Our final DT member, Celeste Vermeed, has been undergoing some major dental work this week but has still managed to put together the following layout:
What a gorgeous photo, and I think the layout has captured the playful, whimsical mood of the picture beautifully. Thanks Celeste and we hope you feel better soon.
Another of our regular subscribers, Annelie Maddock, writes “The very day the kit was in my mailbox I sat down, and 15 minutes later this LO was done!” You’d never know looking at it that it was put together so quickly. I like her treatment of the photo on the layout, mirroring the circular themes on the page:
Thanks for sharing Annelie.

Christi’s Spring Boulevard Layouts
Hi everyone
It’s a grotty day here in Auckland, but I must admit to curling up with a couple of trashy magazines and falling asleep this afternoon – bliss! All is right with the world after our trouncing of the Italians last night, and to further brighten the day here are some wonderful layouts from design team member Christi Nelson. I’m not a fan of fejioas either, Christi, but what a great layout. I love the colours and how well they highlight your daughter’s top……
And I love how you’ve drawn attention to the wings with a chipboard circle in this layout:

More Pitter Patter layouts
Hi everyone
I managed to catch up with Kate this morning after her long night at Starship. Sophia (the patient) is fine, a box of birds. Kate is like any traumatised mother – weary and sleep deprived, but relieved. I managed to pick up a couple of gorgeous layouts from her, made using the Pitter Patter Taste of Pesto Kit. They feature Isabella, her older daughter…..
Blanky, by Kate
Blue Eyes, by Kate
And here’s another layout by Fi -

Spring Boulevard by Dione Evans
Hello everyone,
Here are the first of our September Spring Boulevard Kit layouts, these from Dione Evans. Not only are they wonderful layouts, but I love how she’s captured her family dynamics – I can so relate! They are beautiful and poignant. Thank you Dione.
Dione will be completing classroom instructions for the second of her layouts shown above, NM, shortly.

More Pitter Patter ideas
Hi everyone
This month Fi, Kate and I have each taken a Taste of Pesto kit and had a go at some layouts. Kate has a beautiful page coming, but today I’m posting my efforts. I have quite a different style from both Kate and Fi, which is why I sigh longingly over their beautiful, detailed work. My approach is more linear and simple, and due to lack of time I’ve completed the layouts in A4 size, which is a first and which I have to admit I really enjoyed doing. Anyway, these were all completed yesterday afternoon, which shows how easy they were to put together, and I was amazed at how many different looks and uses I got out of the Pitter Patter papers.

And some cards (I have 2 cousins just about to give birth to baby boys):
Hope you’re having a good weekend.
