Loving my 'Gigi class'!

I'm absolutely loving this layout...couldn't have done it without Gigi! I participated in Giovanna's recent online class & I'm so glad I did, love the results & picked up a couple of brilliant techniques. I'm sure the class is still open for those who still want to take part, you can find the details here.


Thank you again Gigi, looking forward to the next one ;)

Haven't got anything else to share at this stage...lot's of 'secret squirrel' creations using the Forever Always Creative Kit for next month. I can tell you it's simply 'yumm', so be sure to watch out for it as of the 1st, when all will be revealed! ;)

Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for your lovely comments :)
Happy scrapping everyone!

Echo Park Papers.

I absolutely love these Echo Park papers, such 'happy', colourful papers to work with...
'Turning 15' is for Anthea's monthly challenge over @ Top 50 using punches; staples & lace.


'Triple choc indulgence' showcases both the Sweet Summertime range & Life is Good range which you can find in the Forever Always store.


I'm one very happy & excited mum at the moment, it's just under 24 hrs till my girl is home from Japan...feels like she has been away forever!
Thanks for visiting & a huge thank you for your lovely comments! :)

Challenge layout & cards!

I offered to do the cards for the teachers taking our kids to Japan...here they are. I had fun using the embossing cards from the Tim Holtz Sizzix range (thanks Sonia for yours too) & of course his inks...yum!
Let's hope the teachers like them :)

This layout is for Sue's monthly challenge over @ Top 50, where you had to use a pink ribbon; polka dots & a handmade button. I altered a button using glimmer mist & glimmer glaze (thanks Michelle), then adding a rub-on on top.

Thank you for all the lovely comments, I do appreciate them! :)

Happy scrapping!

Can't get Japan out of my head!

With the 1st of October comes a host of brillant & inspiring challenges, but I simply had to complete this layout that has been going around in my head for a while.
I wanted to put on paper some of the thoughts & issues behind my girl's trip to Japan...bit of hidden journaling behind the photo mat. Safe travels baby...missing you heaps!!!
Loving the Websters Pages, which you can find in the Forever Always store.

Happy scrapping everyone, hope you are enjoying the long weekend!
