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 …
A sketch and some scones. The October sketch challenge is up at The Scrapbook Establishment and I created the sketch! It was very exciting to do and I think it could be quite addictive to create them! (I guess, just ask Becky Higgins! LOL!) You can either create a layout or a card and you …
A layout, omissions and a photo, just one. So, I scrapped a layout for Apple Blossom Studios. The stamps really are great. So sticky and big and yummy. I was going to do a girly layout, but decided that I really wanted to use the Military Kaisercraft patterned paper I got in my order from …
It’s been a while… Since I have blogged here. I have been busy, but aren’t we all? Lots of stuff has happened over the last 3 or so weeks. Amy got her first tooth. Well, her first two teeth. Once that first one came through, the next one just popped up right next to it. …
I have been neglectful Of this blog in the last week or so. It’s because nothing has happened because I have been unwell. It really hit me hard. The doctor gave me three days off work and at first I thought that was too much, but in the end I don’t think it was enough! …
The last challenge. The last challenge was harder than I thought for the DT comp at Scraploot. You had to ‘jack’ one of the layouts by the current DT members. I can do sketches, I can do colours, but I find it hard to copy someones work. I don’t know why. But in the end …
I have good intentions… I always have intentions to update this thing, I just never seem to get around to it! I have stuff to write about from last weekend, let alone the one we just had! Well, here goes… Kate and Luke went to my grandparents house for 2 nights over the long weekend. …
Last week. I just thought I would do a quick post before I have to get ready to take Luke to preschool. He is eating his lunch – a tuna sandwich, my kids love tuna, go figure, and Amy is asleep. A cuppa just downed, oh goodness, I could go another one. Anyway, where was …
Welcome Winter! Wow, winter, already?! My uncle once told me about a theory about time. It makes sense to me. When we are 2, one year is half our lives. So it seems like a really long time. When we are 10, 1 year is 1/10th of our lives, so it still seems a long …
It’s back! Mr Mojo that is! I have hardly scrapped for about 18 months. It is nice to want to start up again! So, I emailed another scrappy person who I had met once and we got together on saturday night for some scrapping! Fun indeed! I also decided to join in a DT comp …
A new addition! Well, there goes another week and a half. Last week was great, although I did miss Steve terribly. On the upside, I got to sleep. Lots. Goodness it felt great to have a solid 11 hours sleep if I wanted too. Now I am back to the 4 hours per day which …
Well, the Scrapbooking Memories Masters magazine is out to subbers. I received one Honorable Mention for my mini album, funny though as I considered that my weakest part of my entry. Oh well, go figure. You will need to click on the photo to get the full picture. My single page layout My double page …
38+2 weeks today. Wow, it is getting closer and closer and closer! I was talking to Steve earlier and I was saying how surreal it all still feels. I am sure those feelings will be long gone when we are getting our 3 hourly wake up calls! LOL! Well, today I made Steve take some …
C is for… Cooking – I am not a good cook. I try. I am just not very good. Cleaning – I am not that good at that either. Although I don’t try hard with that one! Well, I think I blinked and I missed the last week! Not that we were busy or anything! …
B is for… Beth – my name. I changed it officially through Births, Deaths and Marriages. I was born Elizabeth. My parents never called me Elizabeth. When I went to school they enrolled me as Beth, when they opened my first bank account they opened it in Beth. When I got my passport I signed …
She shoots, she scores…. Well, no, not really, but I did scrap! Just a layout about an RDO I had last year. I appliqued the tree – cool, huh? I think the beads are a little OTT but once I had started glueing them down, well I couldn’t really stop, but anyway, they are there …
SO you see I was trying to go a whole month without posting. No, just kidding. We received some news the other week which really rocked our socks and well we have come to terms with it and are moving forward. Details to follow.So while I have been mostly offline, I can say that I …
