STORYBOARD…Hudson

Absolutely adore getting the new kits each month from Storyboard Kits…they are always intriguing and filled with gorgeous papers and embellies.

Here is what I did with the kit this month.

This is my Mother in Law, and her name is Coral, I was so excited to see all the ‘coral’ coloured papers, I knew I had to do a layout of her with them

This is my Niece Evie..isn’t she jus Sweet AS! Love the cute little key and keyhole in the kit

For this layout, I used the gorgeous stitched paper as a frame and used a slight colour-blocked effect with the mini journal blocks

This layout, I used the PAGEMAPS sketch on the A2Z Scraplets challenge site, and left the journaling blank so that my friend can fill it in of her daughter

And my final layout was done using the scraps in the kit, and I added a piece of black cardstock for the backing, love this picture of my Mum and Sister

So as you can see, the kits are great value for money, you can create so many layouts from just one kit!

TOOT..

..I didn’t even know about this, and was totally surprised when I just popped into the Aussie Scrap Source blog and saw my page featured…OMG..how awesome

YAY….what a great start to my weekend….

and just a little close-up

Getting back into it..

I was inspired when I saw the criteria and examples from “WHITE WITH 1’ this month…gotta love vintage and brown together!

Been a while

Sorry to my regular stalkers out there, I havent blogged for nearly a week.

Last week was first day of school and a major adjustment for young Charlie who finds change hard due to his ASD. He has been better than expected actually, and has enjoyed last week at school, although is very tired all the time. Let’s see how Angus goes this week…should be interesting.

Well enough about me, lets look at some scrapping hey!

First off I have a layout that I have done using the STUCK sketch….check it out

And then this one if for Anthea’s challenge at Savvy for their Cybercrop. Using ribbon/twine, pearls,layering,cutwork, dimensional tape, stickers

First Day of Prep..

..for my big boy Charlie, and he was so excited. Check out his face in this picture, he couldn’t wait to get there.

When I picked him up from school, the first thing he said was “ I can’t wait to go back to school tomorrow'…made my heart melt..gorgeous boy!

And a little bit of scrapping too

Another layout from Anna’s Craft Cupboard using a mixture of the papers in my DT kit..both 3 Bugs in a Rug DAWSON range and the Cosmo Cricket GARDEN VARIETY papers

I also managed to get stuck into my 52 Week album and managed to get week 4 and week 5 done

Then for this layout I replicated the American craft flowers that came in the kit (that Anthea also showed us how to make on the site), and created this layout
