Just posting this layout that was in Creating Keepsakes in the February issue. Actually, it looks a little different as I added some brads to the flowers after I took the photo. I thought it was ‘missing’ something. You can hardly see his scar anymore, which is a good thing, except, girls dig guys with […]
I made this card for two things – firstly for a card swap I am in and secondly for one of the cybercrop challenges happening over at The Scrapbook Establishment. Now, I must note that I am not very good at making cards. This was no exception. It took me two goes at sitting down
I scrapped again. I don’t know what’s gotten into me? This layout is for the cybercrop happening at The Scrapbook Establishment at the moment. Pop on over to check it out if you have a spare minute. The challenge I set was quite easy really. 1. Use a number or numbers as a design feature2.
A layout I created. I couldn’t quite believe how much Luke and Amy looked alike until I saw this photo. Congratulations to my dear friend Lusi on the birth of her little princess, Zipporah.
I have kept everything that I have ever bought for scrapbooking. I don’t purge. So when I did this layout I was going through my stash thinking to myself: I am going to complete this layout with all my old crap. Ok, so it’s not the best layout and the PP is like 8 years
Luke, wearing his hat for the Easter Hat Parade. I had some hot glue gun lovin’ and now I want to hot glue everything. It isn’t appropriate for my scrapbook though, I suppose.
Literary Week come dressed as your favourite book character day: Kate as Alice in Wonderland and Luke as a bear out of his favourite book ‘I can… can you?’ Making the costumes drove me crazy, but I got there in the end and I must say, besides the fact that Kate is soooo skinny so
I scrapped this layout of Amy for the blind CC over at The Scrapbook Establishment. Other than that, we had a family portrait done today. The result was good and I can’t wait to get the photo in 2 weeks time. Well, back to these costumes I am making for the kids for school.
A birthday and some layouts I have been busy, I have recommenced studying this year. It’s exciting and I am throwing myself into it with gusto. I study while Amy is alseep which is convenient. The only downside is, I seemto have no spare time left anymore. Not to worry, stuvac will be here before
A birthday and some Offbeat layouts. Bear in mind that the last 2 layouts use really old pre-scrapbooking photos so the photos are a bit dodgy, but hold special memories and moments and deserve to be preserved also. And we had a birthday. Luke turned 5. He knew that his birthday was just before school
Where’d the week go? Do you ever think to yourself ‘I’ll do that later’ and then you realise it is like a whole week later? I do. All the time. I am not sure if it’s because of working nights that I seem to lose days, but sometimes I feel like a day has passed
Some awards and more Project 365 I received this tag a while ago from this super chick, Skye, who I met through the forums over at Scrapbooking Memories. And I received this award from Lisa, who I met through the SM forums also, and Tanya, who is the newest member of the DT over at
Project 365 I decided, I don’t know what I was thinking, that I would participate in Project 365. Basically, I have to not flake out and remember to take a photo every day. For the next 359 days. I wonder if I will see it through. I hope so. If anything, just to improve my
Well, it’s been a while… This might be a big post but only because we have had a couple of big weeks. Most noteable though is Steve has been on holidays for the last week and a half. I have really loved having him home. Even though I still had to trudge out to work
Probably a big post. Sorry about that. Day 3 of Ali’s 25 Days of Christmas: Amy has learnt to climb onto the chair in her room. After I change her nappy I usually leave her to have some quiet play time while I wash my hands etc, but I wont be able to now as
Newsletter layouts. The next edition of The Scrapbook Establishment’s newsletter is out and I had the pleasure of creating for it. I was given BG Urban Prairie to work with. Can I just say how divine it is! It is gorgeous! I struggled to scrap these layouts as I really wanted to do the range
A Top 10 layout. Lusi, ages ago, asked if I would like to contribute a layout to her Top 10 feature in Scrapbook Creations. Of course. The theme was stationary and well, I love stationary as much as I love scrapbooking, so it worked out well. After about 3 weeks I finally finished my layout.
A dare. Completed. Over in the TSE forums, Vita dared me to create a layout using some of the Kaisercraft big square brads. Well, I do love a challenge, so I thought I would throw in some of the Kaisercraft large square rhinestones aswell. Now, I have slightly agonised over my embellishment position and ended
A DT layout and a zoo trip. I have had these photos developed for ages and I never knew how I should go about scrapping them. I saw Julie had done a layout and titled it Pit Crew Boss and I knew the theme was perfect! I am pretty bad with titles! Sometimes I would
