The second Stuck sketch for June has been up for a little while now and as the month is coming to an end, you better be quick if you want to get your layout in. As always I love that a sketch is a jumping off point for the mojo, especially in winter!!! Here is my take on the sketch using beautiful Echo...
... to the end of the month (and end of financial year). Eeekkk where has that time gone?? I don't find it easy to scrap during the winter months. Lack of taking photos, inspiration and just the cold weather make it difficult. These are the months where I seem to read a few good books, and have one on the go at the...
The deadline to enter was last night, yet I am just so happy with 2 of my challenge layouts that I just have to show... Sara's challenge was to use masking on your layout. This one really pushed me out of my comfort zone, but I am more than thrilled at the result. With a piece of chipboard used as the mask and...
I love nothing more that taking inspiration for other scrappers and their layouts... One thing I really try hard not to do is scraplift. I love knowing that everything I produce is in someway my design. Except when it comes to the Lipstick Chicks. Scraplifting is the name to their game!!! They have been away for a little while, but I was so...
Where has the last week gone?? I had all intentions of uploading this one last week, but better late than never I guess!! I couldn't wait to get my latest purple pumpkin order. I missed the sale night, but was lucky enough to have a few of the items I wanted still available the next day... Its amazing how fast those beautiful fun...
The Stuck sketch for the 1st June scared me a little. It left everything open to your imagination. I put forward a challenge to myself to complete a layout with NO patterned papers, so this sketch was perfect. The photos I picked really needed a page where they could speak for themselves as they are very powerful. I decided to have a play with...
There is nothing better than the feelings that come with love.... Happiness, Joy, those Butterflies.... I feel all of that and more when I look at my gorgeous man, so when I scrapped this photo, I really wanted the colours and feel of the page to reflect those feelings. Short of putting butterflies on the page, I have used a selection of warm...
What else is there to do when the weather is wet & cold and you have a long weekend, but scrap. I set myself the challenge of finishing off a heap of the June challenges so that I could keep working through these holiday photos. I haven't been working anywhere near as fast as when the mojo is really flowing, but I have...
I mentioned a couple of posts ago that I have a new scrap space. Well its not new as such, its just had a face lift, but feels new to me!!!If you remember, back in January Donna put out a call for us all to reveal our creative spaces... Here is what it looked like then....I got sick of not having anywhere to...
I don't know about you, but paying between $5 and $10 for a card is just too much.... Especially since most of them eventually end up in the bin.I have found that I actually get enjoyment out of making cards for people and seeing their faces when they open it. Finding a home made card, that is designed and hand picked just for...
The total layouts for May was...FOURTEENI was aiming for 15 but fell short by one... Not too bad considering all of the things taking my attention for the first 2 weeks of the month.Here is the last LO for May. A just because for the holiday album.New Years Eve BallI have never been a big user of flowers on all of my LOs...
