A couple to share!

Hi All

Hope everyone is having a great weekend?  Yesterday was my monthly crop at Northside.  I was very unorganised this month and seem to have struggled in the last couple of weeks with getting any creative juices flowing.  Had better find it again before I have a full weekend of scrapping in Dalwallinu next month!

Anyhow created two layouts.  The first is of my niece Maddie and her girlfriends.  I have used Pink Paislee Hometown Summer paper and cut it out using my Cricut machine, Crate Paper Emma's Shoppe collection papers,word and alpha stickers, Girls Paperie embellishments, Kaisercraft flower, rub ons and rhinestones, Pink paislee butterfly and Prima Annalee Collection Chip Journalling sticker.

The second is from my trip to Arlington Cemetery, Washington DC back in August 2010.  Have used October Afternoon Rocket Age Papers and stickers, Adorn It mini alpha's and the title is cut from my Cricut machine.  The border is actually even it has just not photographed that way!

Today it has become clear just how bad a day it was.  My diecut on the first layout was stuck down crooked so I have had to lift that and try and fix it and then after I had photographed my layout on Arlington I realised I had spelt the word "cemetery" wrong so had to print another letter and fix that up.  Some days you should just give up!  Well that's all for now.  Have a great week!

Imaginisce I Spy Toot

Sorry I didn't think I would be blogging again today as I didn't get creative while the footy was on but I have just checked my emails before going to bed and someone has emailed me and told me that my layout I posted earlier today was Spotted by Imaginisce and posted on their blog.

If you can't tell already, I am VERY excited.  Especially considering I wasn't happy with the layout!  Glad there was a plug for Handmade By Suzanne too.

Good Night.

HBS June Sketch

Hi Bloggers

Hope you are all having a great weekend? I have had a cold this week so been laying low this weekend.  Yesterday I scrapped a couple of layouts.  The first layout is for the June sketch challenge at Handmade By Suzanne.  I have used some old Imaginisce Bday Bash papers and embellies, glimmermist, Jenni Bowlin tag, AC Thickers, Echo Park sticker, Kaisercraft mini alpha's and DMC thread.  Also used my new WRMK Sew Easy Stitch Piercer - sooo much easier than measuring holes and piercing them yourself.  The photo's of Mitchell's 9th birthday dinner back in 2005.  It has not photographed very well and I am not overly happy with the end result but the photo's are scrapped.

This is the June Sketch so if you are a scrapper why not have a go and get into the random draw to win a store voucher at Handmade By Suzanne.

This layout is of Liam and Lachlan reading story books.  (Well Liam is!)  I have used Crate Paper Toy Box Collection papers and Chip embellishments.

Well that's all for now.  Got some chores to do today and hopefully will get the time to scrap again while the footy is on this afternoon.  Next Saturday is my monthly crop at NSC so need to get organised for that.  Enjoy the rest of the weekend and have a great week!

Sneak Peek Revealed

Hi All

A couple of weeks ago I gave a sneak peek of a double layout I did at a class with the lovely and very talented Treesa Young.  Yesterday I received in the mail the little bits and pieces we needed to finish the layout, so here is the finished product.

We have used the lovely Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden papers and embellishments.

Some of the techniques we learnt were Air Brushing, using Glimmer Glam, Patchworking, Rolled Flowers and using different textures on your layouts.

Treesa used Sepia photo's on her layout which looked fabulous. 

Thanks again for popping by and for the lovely comments that you leave.

Weekend Crop

Hello Lovely Blog Followers

Well it is the end of our long weekend.  It has been a fun scrappy weekend but with not much achieved by me.  Thanks to Liz, Glenda, Desma and Mum for a great day on Sunday.  Well these are the few layouts I did.  This gorgeous photo is of Mitch and Tess.  I have used Bo Bunny Timepiece patterned papers, Heidi Swapp clock stamp, Spellbinders die cuts, Rosette & banner die cut, Tim Holtz distress inks and crackle accents, MS butterfly punch, RW Lasercuts chip heading, Kaisercraft rub ons, Pink Paislee Journalling spots, mini flowers and buttons.

This is a close up of my cluster.  Thanks S for all the tips and techniques today and for the yummy lunch. x

These photo's Maddie and her friend Giorgi took.  They look just gorgeous.  Have used some old Bella Blvd Plastino patterned papers, glimmermist, Pink Paislee flowers and Alpha's and Kaisercraft Rhinestones.

This layout is of Maddie's 12th birthday.  Have used the beautiful Jillibean Soup Spotted Owl Soup patterned papers and embellishments,  MS border punch, TH inks and AC Thickers.  I have machine stitched the border on.  Love the bright colours of this range.  It looks better in real life!

That's all I achieved this weekend but have got my inspiration back so hopefully some more to share soon.  Hope everyone in the West had a great long weekend and I think those in the East have one this weekend coming so enjoy!  Until next time "Happy Scrapping" and have a fantastic week.

Hi Bloggers

Sorry it has been so long since my last post but life has been a bit hectic.  I had a bit of time to scrap on Saturday night but I just couldn't get motivated.  Last night I created this layout of my Nephews on holidays in Broome last year.  I've pulled this photo out many times but wasn't quite sure what to do with it.  Well this is what I have come up with.  Have used AC kraft and stamped it with TH distress inks and Kaiser stamps, Glimmermist, BG Origins patterned paper and fabric flowers, Dusty Attic chicken wire chip, MS fong punch, Scrap FX branch, crackle accents, fabric, jillibean soup corrugated alpha's and BG mini alpha's.  Once photographed I noticed some of my title was crooked so I've fixed that up.

We have a long weekend (yippee) coming up this weekend and some of us are getting together for a scrap on Sunday so will hopefully have a productive day with layouts to share.  Sorry to all those people who have checked in over the past week and there has been no updates.  Enjoy the rest of the week and for those in Perth enjoy the long weekend and the beautiful rain we are getting at last!!!

Happy Scrapping!!!
