Zoe Australasian Blog Hop


Hello and welcome aboard our Australasian Close to My Heart Blog Hop featuring the gorgeous new Zoe paper packet.

If you have arrived here from Wendy's blog then you are in the right place.

If you landed here by accident, no problem, please join in by following the link at the end of this post.

Today I would like to share with you a creation which features Close To My Heart’s Zoe Paper Packet.

I wanted to do a double page layout that could also be used as two single layouts.

Here are the completed layouts side by side using the Zoe paper, complements and some Cricut cuts.



Here you can see the first and second generation stamped butterflies, as well as the complements and the new Coral Shimmer Trim that works perfectly with the Zoe paper packet. I also used one of our punches to add some interest to the border.



I fussy cut the butterfly at the bottom of the page, as well as adding some of the pieces from the Zoe Complements.



The month and day strip of paper is actually the Zip Strip from the top of the Zoe paper, which works great on these pages as you can circle the date when your photos were taken.



Here is the right hand page- this would also work as a stand alone page for a really special photo.



The butterflies were cut from the Cricut, and I used an overlay cut from the Cricut as a stencil to add some sponging and bring through the triangle elements of the pages.



I did some tone on tone stamping on the blue strip of cardstock, and accented these with a strip of Zoe paper and some more of the Zoe Complements.



The banners were a combination of cardstock, Zoe paper and shimmer trim, and I added another strip of the punched Sorbet cardstock. Some more Slate matting will help the photo to stand out. I love that the Zoe paper packet comes with all the cardstock I needed to complete this double page layout.



Here is another look at the finished layouts- I had a lot of fun creating these!
