Copic Card

Hi! 

Just a quick post to show you a little card I made.  I haven't used my copic markers in a while so I thought I would get them out for this beautiful little ballerina.  

I made this card for a little girl my daughter dances with, I used the La-La Land Crafts 'Marci' stamp, a few scraps of paper and some ribbon from my stash and a quick banner from my silhouette cameo, and of course some bling. 

I hope you like!

Scrapbookit GDT

Well once again it's been a while………..

Anyway I have been lucky enough to be selected as a Guest Design Team Member for Scrapbookit for the month of May!  I was extremely lucky to receive a great pack from Jo, and I even got to set the challenge for the month.  Jump on over to the Scrapbookit blog to check out my post and what the other girls on the team have come up with.

My challenge was as follows  

Your layout must have the following

1 Black and White photo

2 copies of your Black and White photo (any sizes)

3 Embellishments (at least!)

4 patterned papers and a 

5 word title!

And this is what I came up with…….

The papers are from the Kaisercraft Honey Chai Collection, and the flowers are from Manor House.  The photo I used is of my husbands Nana and Pop when they got married back in 1946.

I also made a few cards with the Honey Chai Collection, and another LO, I was amazed how different 2 LO's with the same paper collection could be :)

All in all I had a great time, so thanks to Jo and the team over at Scrapbookit, and don't forget to enter the challenge.

Crusin' in the Mustang

This week I wanted to share with you a quick layout I did following a sketch I found online at My Scraps and more sketches, have been wanting to use this Mustang paper with this photo for a while.  Hope you like it!

I'm back!

Hi!

So it's been a while......... moving back to Australia and getting settled got a little busy.  It's been over a year now back in Sydney, and one thing after another has stopped me scrapping as much as I would like.  I am determined to pick up my game!  I purchased so many awesome papers and bits and pieces in the USA, I couldn't possibly let them go to waste :)

For my first post back I thought I might just post a few pics of a few OTP projects I have done in the last year, as well as a few of my favourite pages and cards.

This first page is my entry for the latest challenge at Scrapbookit. 

And this is last month at scrapbookit where I was lucky enough to be asked to be a guest design team member.  Had a great time and Jo spoilt me with goodies to work with :)  I loved the big flower on this page, it was made from my silhouette cameo (that I love).  I used a Lori Whitlock file, I couldn't resist with the Kaisercraft Lady Rose collection, it was just screaming flowers at me!!

Thought I would just throw this one in since it's almost Halloween again.

This next page is one of my all time favourites, and it's such a nice photo of me and my Mum :)

This next one was my first attempt at the Project Life style of scrapbooking.  I have to admit it was very easy and quick and looks great!

Now for a few cards..... there have been heaps more that I have given away forgetting to take a photo first, oops!

This next project took me quite a while, but I figured it was worth it, cause now I have somewhere to store my paints.  I am a big fan of the red/black/white colour combination :)  Something different from the pink I usually use to scrap pictures of my girls.

These butterflies I made for my daughters room, everything has to be pink and purple!

The next two drawer sets I made as gifts for new babies.  I filled both with baby hair clips and pins etc, just a little something different for a gift :)

And a little baby album for one of those beautiful little girls!

Lastly, this was a class I did at the Scrapbookit retreat earlier in the year, I had an absolute ball and am very sad to be missing out this weekend :(

Well I hope I didn't put you to sleep!  Sorry it's been a while, I have promised myself that I will take time each week to have some 'Me Time' as my big sister calls it, so I will be back soon :)

Enjoy your weekend and see you again soon.

DT Entry

So Scrapbookit has advertised for a new DT, and seeing I always enter into the challenges there and love the store I thought I might put my hat in the ring!!  The challenge was to create a page from this page maps sketch, I found it a little tricky getting 3 of my photos onto a layout like this, but in the end I think it works :)

 

Hope everyone has a fantastic Easter, we are having a Easter Egg Hunt here on Saturday with the girls and some of their friends, should provide me with a bunch of great photos to scrap :)

Crop nights

I know it looks a little like I have been slack lately in the scrapbooking department but I have however done more scrapping in the last 2 months then in the last year!!  My friend (Melissa) and I found a scrapbook store here in Virginia beach that has a free crop day on Fridays, anytime from 10am till midnight.  So this has been our thing for the past month or two :)  It gives us a break from the kids, gets some scrapping done and we can gossip all night long!!  What more could you want? Really?

Anyway, so I thought I would post a few photos of my favourites from the last two months....

Card win!
