A four day holiday: I do hope those of you staying home find lots of time to catch up on your scrapping and those of you that are travelling or gathering together with family and friends have fun and take lots of photos to scrap later.

AZZA Australia have a snap four day AUTUMN Sale: everything Easter and in the autumn colours discounted, so pop along to the shop and check it out.

The best value for money is the Verlaine Studio kit. If you purchase the Studio kit you will receive the Focus Book, pre-cut pages and flippets as a bonus. The Focus book will give you loads of layouts you can create with the template – it focuses on the Verlaine template only, together with layouts using the pre-cut pages.

Hilary Hamilton created this set of pages with the Verlaine template and pre-cut pages with her Easter photos.

Unfortunately we have now sold out of the AZZA Easter stamp set. If you have the stamp set, there are still a few of the matching die sets greatly reduced.

Another set of Easter pages I have shown you before, with the Zurich template. No pre-cut pages with this template but you can cut your own as with any AZZA template.

And a lovely single page with the AZZA Zurich template:

Thank you Mimouscrap for sharing these pages with us.

Another lovely Easter page created by Martine in Europe using the Verlaine template.

In the autumn section we have the set below. The large stamp set also comes with a die, the stamp and die set has also been discounted in the sale.

The Autumn leaves die set is also in the sale. These dies can be used throughout the year and are lovely on the page or can be used for a card.

Ribbons, Resin dots, Sand, Velour, patterned papers and many other products in the autumn shades are also available in the sale.

If you liked the ‘Winter Song’ collection released with the Boston template, these are also in the sale: Sketch sheet, Figures, die, etc.

Having had a look at the sale, don’t forget to go along to WHAT’S NEW in the shop.

The new AZZA KYOTO template and the RISING SUN products have been released in Australia this month.

The new colours in pink and blue shades: Fuji and Sakura.

I gave you a sneak peek at my use of the LEST WE FORGET products in my last blog: here are the full pages using the new KYOTO template.

On the page above I have used the Poppy and Bugle stamp on the page, both stamped and then cut out. I completed my page with a little gold Glitter tape and Glitter paste through the new Rising Sun texture stencil to pick up the gold in the inscription on the photo.

Having lived through a Civil War, this inscription really tugged at my heart strings. I hope I have done it justice on the page.

Christine Houbrechts created these lovely pages, using the Kyoto template and the beautiful Peacock themed products released earlier.

Christine has also used a die from the 20th Anniversary box set. The Big Shot set is now available to purchase without having to buy the full box set.

The embossing folder in this set goes perfectly with the new Rising Sun papers:

As Aussies we will be able to use the papers for all our Aboriginal painting photos. I took these photos just north of Perth and the papers matched them perfectly. I could have used either side on the page with these photos.

I created my page using the A4 Mineral stencil to show how well it works on the 30 x 30 scrapping page.

I completed my page using the Rising Sun texture stencil, Figures from the Figure sheet and Resin dots.

The Figures sheet is very versatile as the strips and flowers go with any theme. The ‘Stork’ can be decorated to go with whichever similar bird you have in your photos. Don’t forget to use the Resin dots with the little flowers, they compliment them perfectly.

Enjoy your Easter weekend, I am not going away so will post the wonderful pages flooding in from our Consultants using the new products soon.

Happy Scrappin’
