This page was a real experiment for me. While at the Scrapbooking Delights retreat, there were so many new products made available to us to play with, and so much inspiration in one room that you felt good playing with ideas. There was always someone there to offer advice on the technique and help you along to achieve what you were trying to...
I really need to learn to manage my time a bit better at the moment. Work is busy, home life is busy, and we are looking to buy our first house so a little bit stressful at the same time,and any of you that know me well, know that when I start on a tangent, its all or nothing! I have been...
Its always a good feeling getting that first page out of the way at a retreat and this was the first for the Delights Retreat this year. Its a simple one and really love using a patterned paper for the background. I really feel that it adds to the layout. This is amazeballs No page is complete without a good flair button and...
I'm back with another share from the Delights Retreat (I'm slowly getting through them!). I love this layout more and more - lets say its growing on me! Captured This is another one for my instagram photos from our Hawaii trip. I can't say how much I love that place and how picture perfect it can be. The boarder piece...
Finally I am starting to share some of the layouts from the Delights Retreat this year. Most of the layouts are photos from our recent trip to Hawaii, and I had a great time reliving the moments from paradise. Anyone that follows my Instagram account will have already seen most of these shots, but I hope that scrapping them adds another light to...
So I'm still catching up with my shares from the September Words or Whatever new releases but this one was one I couldn't miss sharing. Tanya and I had a bit of fun when I bought my 210 Fuji instax camera and this is another one of the photos playing around with it. Insta Fun Using chipboard background circles and light wood...
This month the Words or Whatever DT are participating in the birthday celebrations over at Stuck Sketches. It has been a bit of fun playing along again and the sketch we were provided with made it easy to pull a layout together (and use a few of my washi tapes from the ever growing collection)! Watching in Wonder Using chipboard Winged Heart...
After our holiday and a weekend at the Delights scrap retreat, its time to play catch up on sharing some of the September Words or Whatever layouts. For our holiday I invested in a Fujifilm 210 camera. This photo is the first one out of it (after the 3 black ones that I took because the lens cover was catching on the selfie mirror...
The new XOXO Scrapbooking scraplift layout is up for September, and it is one of yours truelys. I had a bit of fun with this layout and using a few of my favourite Words or Whatever products, and one of my favourite Maggie Holmes paper kits. Yum I have used one of the light wood veneer pieces cut in half to make...
Its always a great feeling when you finally get a much loved photo scrapped and off your desk. This one has been floating around for a while now, and I love that its finally done, and that I am happy with the result! This is a scraplift for the XOXO Scrapbooking August challenge and you all still have time to take part....
'Time flys when you're having fun'.... Aren't those words correct! We have been in preparations to get everything sorted out at home ready for our next holiday. Last weekend we spent at the snow. My gorgeous husband is turning 30. Maybe the saying 'when it rains, it pours' is more correct! I find my mojo is lacking in the winter months anyway,...
I love a day where you are out with family and friends, and get a good photo that inspires you to sit down when you get home and scrap it straight away. I can admit that it doesn't happen very often, but I love when it does. My hubby, his brothers, a close family friend and my gorgeous niece spent a Saturday afternoon...
This is one of the holiday layouts with a big story. The challenge behind this page was trying to fit all of the journaling in. I will admit that there is so much to this story that I couldn't get on this page which is disappointing, but I do have another project in the works that I hope will allow me to tell...
I have managed this month (finally) to pull together our scraplift over at XOXO Scrapbooking and finally posted it for all to see. I had a bit of fun this this one getting messy with gesso, and then it not looking anything like the idea in my head.... A second layer of gesso then just sticking stuff down to get it finished! Adding...
Guess who went AWOL for a while??? Me..... Life really got in the way for a little while there! These new July releases over at Words or Whatever have really inspired me to get scrapping on our holiday photos from last year. There are so many of them and they all have such big stories behind them, that I struggle to fit it...
Yesterday was the first of my new release shares over on the Words or Whatever blog, and didn't I have fun with these gorgeous new goodies! As they are very gender neutral they are perfect for the travel photos from our holiday last year and have inspired me to scrap photos that I am sick of looking at. Please tell me that I...
After having a week annual leave recently we took a day trip to Dirty Janes Antiques in Bowral, NSW. It was such a wonderful time wandering around and looking at some of the gorgeous items for sale. I could have spent thousands of dollars!! Here is another layout documenting this day using some of the Words or Whatever new releases for June....
This month of at the XOXO Scrapbooking blog, Joanne has set our challenge and I love it as it can be easily interpreted for any style. I wanted to give myself a bit more of a challenge and make it incorporate more than one photo without loosing the original scraplift style. I chose to scrap a few photos from our day at the...
I am loving some of the new items on the market at the moment in the scrap world. I won't lie, Teresa Collins and Heidi Swapp are a couple of the ones topping my list at the moment as you may be able to tell. I love the colours and they have inspired me to use gold as a key colour in all...
