Hi again,
   As the wind blows in some cooler weather today, my new layout for April is ready. The new kit is called FOLLOW YOUR DREAM and it is my first introduction to a stunning new range of paper by a company called Farm House Paper Company.


The layout can easily accommodate 5 photos but, should you have more, could be adapted to fit them. The theme is focused around dreams and goals but with the Hot Air Balloon paper you would be able to use a variety of themed photos from outdoors and activities to portrait photos.


Included in your kit is some Tim Holtz Distress Stain, which is such fun to work with. I have used it to create a splatter effect on the page.


One of the techniques focused on in this layout is creating you own 3D banner. This is such a versatile element to use on a layout and I have no doubt that you will use it again.


Finally You will create some flowers using teabags. A similar technique was taught by Alma van Biljon at the AWS Scrap Marathon last year. Again, a fantastic technique that you are sure to use over and over again.


Please let me know if you are interested in ordering a kit. (melodyk@mweb.co.za)
