KIU

My layout for this months KIU 'project life' challenge...

I like the idea of PL, but have struggled with it...I bought all the papers etc. yet have only completed 1 page in the past. I found this a challenge, but really enjoyed the fact that it was on 12x12 & had more flexibility than the PL sleeves ;) I can only guess this has been a challenge for many this month, as the gallery is very light???
Thanks for stopping by! As always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments...they do mean so much to me :) & I appreciate each & every one of them x
Happy scrapping!

Taking some time out!

I'm making more of an effort to squirrel away some time for myself & scrapping :) Again, another layout simply for fun...playing with distress paints & texture paste.

I had created this background a while ago when I first got the paints...I simply love the yellow, it's so fresh & sunny!
The mid-month reveals for KIU & 123 Challenge will be up soon, as will the winners of last months challenge...please bear with us. In the meantime, don't forget to get your entries in for this month ;)

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! They honestly do make my day & I appreciate the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping!

Hello Friday!

These weeks are flying past too quick for me :( I thought I would give SBM Masters a go again this year & decided to take an hour each day to do some creative work...seriously, how hard could it be to spare an hour a day!!! Impossible! apparently :( I know there is a lesson here somewhere...time management is certainly not my strong point, nor is saying 'no' ;) Yet to even start my entry.

I guess I should still be grateful for the little time I did get ;)

I'm very excited to be going to Camp Mojo later this year! The lovely Michelle from Scrapbook Divas set a pre-challenge, it was...
1. single layout
2. 2 photos (any size)
3. Heidi Swapp product/s
4. Paint...here's my take on the challenge.

I used the yummy Distress Paints with Loolabelle's Arty Stuff feather stamp...I love how it turned out. Funny how after I've completed this challenge, I keep finding more & more Heidi Swapp products...didn't realise how much I had squirreled away!

This next layout is simply for fun! I had an idea of what I wanted to do with these photos straight away. Again, I've used the Distress Paints here...I simply love them :)

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I really do appreciate each & every one of them, as well as the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping!
PS. I guess I'm not the only one struggling for scrapping time...the gallery's for both KIU & 123 Challenge are both looking very bare this month :( I'm hoping this is on your 'to do' list!

Weekend scrapping!

What I love most about rainy weekends...that this somehow gives me an excuse to stay in & scrap! :)
I had started this layout a few months ago at retreat, so it was fabulous to finally finish it off.
I'm loving these Heidi Swapp folders, yes they certainly take a lot of time to complete a layout...it's like a single & double all in one! I love that I can hide a lot of photos & journaling inside. As my kids grow older, they are less keen on some of the traditional photos I insist on taking, especially on Christmas day! Inside here is all the photos from our day, including the early morning opening presents in their pj's to my son crashed asleep on the lounge ;)

The sub-title for this layout could read 'there is always one crazy one in the family' ;)

Hello June!!!

It's scary how quickly the months are disappearing...I know, I say it each & every month ;) & each & every month I hope I manage to do more scrapping than the last! I still need to learn to make myself a priority...it's ok to create some 'me time'!

The June challenge over @ 123 Challenge Blog is...

I had fun with this criteria...I instantly knew what photo I wanted to use with the grey! This precious photo was taken by my stepmother during her recent trip to Antartica.

Check out the design teams amazing creations here.

The KIU challenged proved to be a bit more challenging for us, but the design team certainly did not fail to deliver! Check out their layouts here, for this months 'Project Life' inspired layout, using a minimum of 3 photos, with journaling of your week.
I will reveal my layout later in the month.

Thank you for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for your lovely comments! I appreciate each & every one of them :) they certainly add a smile to my day!
Happy scrapping!
