Step x step

My step by step is over at Anna’s Craft Cupboard on how to make paper rosettes…..I know they arent original, but it took me ages to find a tute on how to make then, so I though I would share so others could create them with their scraps!…they are terrific for using up scraps

This layout is done using the Crate paper RESTORATION range

Yes…been at it again!

I have a few creations to share.

Firstly is my Layout for Aussie Scrap Jacked, where I lifted Bec’s layout to create this one, with the cute doilies all over it

And a little close-up

Now the next layouts are for the ABC challenge at Savvy.

“R” criteria- Ribbon and Rubons with an “R” title

And another close-up

and for the “S”criteria- stamping and staples with an “S” title

close-up of the stamping

and then lastly…my WEEK 3 layout for my 52 week album

Just the beginning..

…of my 52 week album.

I decided this year to try and do a 52 week album, and so far have only done the first to weeks of January..LOL..oh well at least it is a start

WEEK 1

WEEK 2

I have almost finished my week 3, and have pictures for week 4….so I guess I am not too far behind!

Sketch…anyone??

 

Lisa at Storyboard Kits has a great sketch for you to have a crack at!

The sketch is based on my layout using the “GISELLE” kit, and using the tutorial on the felt flowers by Kim.

To be eligible for a prize, you need to make flowers, based on the tutorial, and upload to the blog by the 20th February

What you been up to??

I’ve been scrapping….what a shock…I know…LOL

I have another layout showcasing more of the “GISELLE” kit from Storyboard Kits , with a background technique using the dress pattern..

check out the blog for step by steps

And a little close-up

And my other layout I want to share is using the latest Inspired Blueprints sketch #64

And here is what I did with the sketch using the Winter range from Echo Park

So try something new like the background effect and link it in my comments so I can check it out….or do the Sketch…love to see that too!

To Russia ….with love

I got approached by the lovely Evgenia Petzer,from the Russian Scraplifting Challenge blog, to be a guest and to have the girls on the site to Lift my work.

I am currently guest, and have a layout on there ready to be lifted…

Check it out! http://scrap-lifting.blogspot.com/

And now for some challenges..

Gotta love a good challenge to get the MOJO flowing, RIGHT?

Head on over to Savvy and catch up on the January challenges… Here are a couple to get you inspired.

Anthea’s second sketch-

And a little close-up

Sara’s Colour Challenge- Pink, Grey and Kraft

and a close up of the flowers

So get yourself over to Savvy and have a play with the challenges this month…they are FABBO!

Creating, creating and a little more creating

I think I must be amongst the most fortunate scrapper out there. I have the best DT positions in this country(biased I know), but I get sent the most amazing products and get to create to my hearts content.

Anna’s Craft Cupboard this month,yet again, out did herself and sent me an amazing DT kit.

here is a layout created using the gorgeous Crate paper Restoration papers and elements…LOVE THIS RANGE

close –up of those cute flowers

And then I got to play with the terrific October afternoon Schoolyard range…YUMMY

and a close-up of the layered heart embellie

And another layout using the October afternoon Schoolyard range

And then this layout is made using the Girls Paperie ‘On Holiday’ range and elements with a few Echo Park stickers elements thrown in,and a couple of October Afternoon element stickers

So anyone want to see my Masters Entry??

Yes..I entered again this year for the 2011 Scrapbooking Memories Masters, and was lucky enough to get an honourable mention for my single, which means that I cannot show you that one for a few more months. But I can show you the ones that didn’t make the cut…LOL

My USEFUL off the page item was an organiser, made completely from scratch. I used heavy duty cardboard, and the dotty embossing folder in the cuttlebug to make the partitions, and also used the birdcage die cut. I also made a little matching keyring out of a maya road tin…CUTE HUH

And then here is my double. I used the butterfly good luck charm hanger from my bridal bouquet as my memorabilia…and the story of Duncan and I is my homage to the past(you cant really see in the picture). I used a fair bit of misting,and lots of intricate embellishing, but I didn’t take a close-up(if you want me to…let me know)

So there you go…..SHARED!

My first feature at Storyboard Kits

So excited to have my first ever feature with the Storyboard Kits….and the awesome KIT GISELLE.

I have managed to get 5 layouts (one is a technique feature later), and there is still plenty of things left to play with.

So why not start the new year off with a terrific Kit and have a play!

Some of my latest!

Yep, been busy again…you know me.

Loving the ABC challenges at Savvy…Kerryn is a wizz and so inspiring with the criteria.

“Q”- quilling, questions and title with “Q”

Check out my quilling…ROFL

Then the next one for Savvy is the sketch by Anthea…Loved it and here is my take

Final Kraft It Up…for me!

I have absolutely loved being on the Kraft It Up team for the past year, and think the whole concept is terrific

This month's challenge was all about summer.

Create a page with a Summer theme and use a 'Summer' word in your title.
Remember to use kraft as your base.

Link your page to the original post before Midnight January 31st to be in the running for prizes.

Here is my layout. Loved using the large chipboard SUN…terrific

The Colour Room…#39

Decided it was about time I tried a new challenge site, and I have been stalking the talent at The Colour Room for a while. This is my first time actually participating in the site though

here is what I did with the colour combo and sketch

New Year at Inspired Blueprints

Inspired Blueprints have posted their new sketch…and I think it is super cute for yet another multiphoto layout!
