Scrapbooking

It’s been a while since I shared a layout! This is one of my absolute favourite photos. Amy wasn’t even a year old. Kate and Luke would wheel Amy around the house so she could watch them play. I was given a challenge piece of paper to use, the white cutout one that runs across […]

I created this layout at the end of last year for Scrap the Girls. It’s about time I shared it!! The layout is about Cricket, the miniature horse that we once had at a party, who now lives with us. 🙂

December is almost over and I’m only just getting around to sharing my Scrap the Girls layout. I loved the colour combo, but I was struggling to find photos that matched! Even if aqua is my favourite colour! In the end, I found this photo and it ended up fitting the board perfectly. Aqua (kind

This month’s challenge over at Scrap the Girls is a sketch challenge. Make sure you pop over to check it out. I’ll admit, sometimes these sketches stump me when they have flowers and things on them, even though I know I don’t have to use flowers. Forest through the trees and all that. Anyway, after

October’s challenge for Scrap the Girls (I know, I’m a month late) was based on a mood board. I really liked the variegated wooden wall and decided to use that as the basis for my layout. Lucky I keep all those little scraps of paper that normal people would throw away, so it was quite

Scrap the Girls September challenge is up on the blog – you really should go check it out. The sponsor this month is Fiskars Australia! It’s a sketch challenge and it’s perfect if you have a truckload of Project Life cards that you really should start using up (like me)! I used five PL cards

I was at Spotlight and I’d been looking at getting a Fine and Dandy Project Life core kit for a while and I saw it on clearance for $20, so I grabbed it. I get to the checkout and they took another 50% off clearance items so I ended up getting a full core kit

I haven’t scrapbooked in what feels like ages. Needless to say, it was a real struggle to get going. So then in the end, I cut the background down to 8.5×11 and it seemed a lot more manageable. Hmm, I probably should have used a ruler when gluing the journalling down.

May’s Inspiration Board is up over at D-lish Scraps! I adore this photo of Amy, not that you can see much of her. A doctor made her this glove person when we were at the hospital for Stephen. She thought it was awesome. I did too. I guess that’s it for now. I might go

I thought I would join in over at the D-lish Scraps cybercrop (The Scrap Suite). The challenge was to ‘use journal spots/tags in place of patterned paper on your project, with the added element of paint to be included also.’ I have hoarded journal booklets for years so I finally had a good reason to

This is the second unshared layout. This layout is of Amy this time, doing some craft stuff with me. Fun times. It was created for the D-lish Scraps March inspiration board. Yep, those are old as the hills Making Memories alphas. I have hoarded them for what, 10 years or so? Ah my too good

Hmm, I have a couple of layouts that I haven’t shared for some reason. The first one is a layout that was for the December inspiration board over at D-lish Scraps. I finally scrapped one of Kate’s photos from her year 6 farewell. Just because she is in year 9 now doesn’t mean a thing!

Now that I’ve remembered my email address to get into this blog, I guess I can start posting again! I’d like to say that I have plenty of content up my sleeve, but no. Here’s the April inspiration board from D-lish Scraps though! I could not make the white background work, so I went for

The new inspiration board is up over at D-lish Scraps. So in the midst of unpacking, I needed to get a layout together! Lucky for me, my sister had sent me a gorgeous bunch of flowers. So here’s my way of saying thanks.  

Along with my last layout, Swim, I created this layout for D-lish’s facebook cybercrop. I was too late to get it in, but these were photos that I had wanted to scrap in ages and the challenge was perfect. You needed to use photos from some kind of photo shoot and use an embellishment with

I decided to scrap last night, but I didn’t really know what. So I checked out a few challenge blogs and I came across Show Us Your Stuff. I decided that yep, that’s the one I would do. It’s a sketch challenge this month. So based on this sketch: I created this layout: The handmade

I have been slightly MIA lately due to a very time consuming uni assignment. And of course now that I have finished that one, I have another one I have to get stuck into. How many years have I signed up for? Anyway, D-lish is having a facebook cybercrop and while I usually have good
