Each month our talented Creative Angels showcase some of the hottest new products on the market.   This month Angels Vicki, Lee, Kerry and Lea have done some spectacular work with the Scenic Route range of papers and embellishments, as featured in last months sell-out MaDscrappers Kit.  

Vicki has created these gorgeous layouts using  the Rockland and Northshore ranges.

If you are looking for challenges to keep your scrapping motivation in top notch be sure to visit Vicki's Venue over at The Scrappers Hub.  She has her own forum where she continues to inspire with weekly challenges, including details of the 52 Card Challenge.

Kerry Lloyd

These layouts are simply stunning!  She's also altered a lunch box to show just how versatile these gorgeous papers can be.   Kerry, thanks for being such an inspiration!

   

Kerry can be found continuing to inspire with her Sketch Challenges over at The Scrappers Hub, pop on in and say hello!

 

Lea shows us a revamp of some older techniques and how great they can look with our newer scrap-booking styles.  Don't be afraid to mix 'older' favourite techniques with new ones, you'll be surprised how great they will look!

 

With the changes at MaD's we say goodbye to Kerry, Lee and Lea while they pursue new directions.  Kerry is running the Sketch Challenges at The Scrappers Hub, Lee is following her dedication to her own unmistakable scrapping style and concentrating on getting a lot of albums finished and Lea is putting all her energy into organising the best scrap-booking retreat in Australia.  Best of luck ladies and thank you so much for your dedication and support over the last few months.
