AT MY BEST...: August 2010

Monthly DT Reveal....

7:16 PM

... at Savvy happened today. Guess who is guest designer for the month of September?

ME!!!

I entered my LO Thailand Travel, to be greeted with the surprise announcement today. I can't wait to see this months kits, which I will be lucky enough to play with!!!

And last week my name was drawn out of the hat as the winner of the Savvy July Blind Scrap from the Cybercrop... Just one lucky girl at the moment!!!

I have only managed one LO in the last couple of weeks due to footy finals, but now back into it full swing.

K&L is my take on the Stuck sketch for 15th August. This is from Keiran & Laurens Engagement Party last June.

TFL x x

Its rapidly approaching our SCAFL (local Aussie rules) finals, which means spring is on the way and its time to get fit. Our annual presentation night is getting closer and closer, and there is still much to do!! So not much scrapping for me in the next week and a bit!! Actually, the next two and a half months is pretty full on, but there will be many photos to scrap in times to come.

Last Friday night, I jumped at the chance to attend the Savvy crop. A fairly successful night and a few more pages done. I can't wait for my next one!!!

This page is the August sketch over at Anna's Craft Cupboard, using the Scrapbook Savvy's sold out We're Savvy kit for August.

My take on the bonus birthday sketch over at Stuck.

This one a just because for the holiday album. Its great playing along in store as these papers jumped out at me and I just had to have them. I am very happy with how it turned out (a bit different to how it looked when I left Savvy on Friday night.. hehe).

I hope the Savvy and Delights girls have a fantastic time at the Retreat this weekend. I hope to be with you all next year :-)

He's Savvy

Well, I have been playing with the August He's Savvy Kit, from Scrapbook Savvy, and just loving it. When I first opened it, I was a little unsure about it and what inspiration would come my way. Once I started playing I haven't stopped.

My take on Sar's Savvy Kit Challenge for this month. I just love the way this worked.

One for the holiday album.

A bit of humour for the holiday album.

I love these next two!!! It was exciting to see how they came together...

And after all of that, I only have enough left for one more page (with an added piece of cardstock)... Well worth the $45, don't you think??

Mid Week Surprise

7:01 PM

A wonderful surprise arrived in the post today. Thank you to Gael Robinson from Art of Hearts for her sponsorship of the July Colour Challenge over at Challenge Heaven.

I received an email from Gael requesting my choice of Black or Red for my little prize. I don't scrap a lot with Red, but love the colour, so thought I would give it a go!!

I arrived at the post office this morning to find the usual scrapbook pizza type box all the way from Melbourne. It was a little heaver than I thought, so with anticipation I opened it and loved what I saw.

I have never done an OTP before, but have big plans for the mini album. I am looking forward to playing with these gorgeous products. Thanks again Gael for your sponsorship!!

Keeping It Up

9:36 PM

Well, I have just realised that this is post number 11 for me, so it seems that I have been able to make the blog more than a one off thing, which I am just a little excited about.

Besides the blog posts rolling on, so have the sketches this week. I guess being the start of the month, I have been looking forward to these the most. So much so, I have even completed a few oldies, just to keep the mojo rolling and the pages turning over.

Firstly is my naughty puppy, with an old Inspired Blueprints sketch (#36), using Echo Park papers. I am still so in love with these!!!

My Challenge Heaven sketch take for this month is Watermelon Men. Photos of two of the nephews from fathers day last year, using the Oliver range.

Uncle A Time is my take on the Scrapbooking From Scratch sketch for the month, using the Scrapbook Savvy We're Savvy kit for August.

Inspired Blueprints sketch #51 worked well for another page for the holiday album, using this months We're Savvy kit.

My take on the first Stuck Sketches sketch for August.

And my favourite of the recent pages is Loving Happy Dragon. My take on Antheas sketch for August over at Scrapbook Savvy.

I have also been playing with the recent He's Savvy kit and just loving it... I will show of my pages in coming days!!

Friday Already?

8:38 PM

Where has the last week gone. I feels like only yesterday that I put up last Fridays post!! The only LOs I have to show off this week are from the Scrapbook Savvy Cybercrop last weekend. I had an absolute ball playing along with all of the girls, and loved the results!! As it was a winter crop, I thought I might be able to get most of last years snow trip finished, but who was I kidding! I still have photos left over... lol

I do want to wish Jenny a very happy birthday for today. I love how the card I made turned out. I just have to show it off!!

Back to the LOs for the week. My take on Emma's challenge, I just love. I have had these papers in my stash of so very long now, I was excited just to finally use them!

Anthea's challenge had to have paint or mist, rolled edges, no cardstock and the photo had to be a winter type pic. I just love these photos, although they aren't that fantastic, so I wanted them to speak for them self.

Rather than just one go at the blind scrap last Saturday night, I had 2 attempts but turned one to suit a landscape photo. These didn't have to be winter themed, so I took the opportunity to finish another page from this years holiday album (just so you cant tell they are the same LO!! hehehe).

I just love these Echo Park papers. They can be used for just about everything, and they are just so bright and happy!!!

Just to top off the week, I have also been awarded the winner of the Challenge Heaven Colour Challenge for July with my LO "Where I grew up". Thanks to the team as I was totally surprised with the honors!!
