Weekend scrapping...

I spent the weekend having an absolutely lovely time with a couple of Tim Holtz masks & glimmermist...haha, now to put them into layouts! Hopefully I'll have something to share soon.

This photo was printed off for a challenge last month, but I ended up going with new photos (probably good, as I've just found out I won with that layout...hehe, I'm very happy about that ;)). So rather than putting the photo aside...I simply scrapped it! Now to find the time to fully learn my 'not so new' camera! ;)

Happy scrapping!

New 'Forever Always' stock in store...

Sonia has been shopping...there is new Jenni Bowlin, Hambly Screen Print & more to play with! I created this layout using some of the gorgeous product from Jenni Bowlin. Check out the Forever Always shop here. :)

Happy scrapping.

I'm in lurve...

...with 'Prima flowers' & 'Fancy Pants papers' (hehe, I've always been in love with Fancy Pants ;)). Talk about perfect timing...they arrived just in time for this weeks challenge over @ Scrapboutique, visiting the South of France, with their Postcards comp. Not really a shabby chic girl, so this was certainly different for me, but a lot of fun!

Happy scrapping & enjoy the weekend!

Scrapping update...

The return to school, also means the decline of my scrapping :(

As this was our very last CC over @ Forever Always, I was disappointed to only get one challenge done...very sad all round! I simply couldn't go past the 'special challenge' dedicated to the lovely Sonia...she has made FA such a wonderful family home. I'm very lucky to call her a 'friend'...thanks Sonia, for everything! x
The challenge was to use 7 criteria that was typical of Sonia's style. I used red, blk & kraft colour combo; cluster; sewn on button; stitching; 'fun' in journaling; multi photo layout; food; Jenni Bowlin; & glimmermist...which makes 9! ;)


This next one was for the CC the previous week over @ Scrapbooking Top 50, using bling; distressing; buttons & photo of someone in a mirror. Couldn't go past these silly photos of the family from Luna Park.

I've also joined the 'Postcards' comp over @ Scrapboutique...something very new for me! Our first stop was Italy, with loads of yummy inspiration.

Happy scrapping! :)

More scrapping!

This 'sweet' layout was for one of the monthly challenges over @ Scrapbooking Top 50, using the word 'sweet'; fabric; layering & spots. Shhh, don't tell anyone, but this is the first time I've actually made a yo-yo!


This next one is simply for myself! Loved this photo that Sonia had snapped of my daughter & had to scrap it!

Close up of the ghost butterfly...rather pleased with my 'spot on' stamping! :)

Thanks for all your lovely comments, they are certainly appreciated! :)
Happy scrapping.

CYBERCROP- The Good Old Days - Save the Date!

It's our last one...so be sure to make it the best one!

It is very sad to think our very last Cybercrop @ Forever Always is fast approaching! They say all good things must come to an end. But like all good things we must look back at THE GOOD OLD DAYS & think of all the happy memories & the place Sonia has worked so hard at creating for us. So this cybercrop will be all about THE GOOD OLD DAYS! I do hope you will join us on the 22nd April to give Forever Always the send off it deserves...full of chatter, laughter & inspiration.

Scrapping update.

I am managing to get a bit of scrapping done during the school holidays! :)

Though, technically this 1st layout was done before...
It's in support of Michelle's article for the FA April newsletter. I took an old layout, which was somewhat 'lacking' & added some colour, by including some pp, glimmermist, extra flowers & watercolour pencils.

This one was for Scrapbooking Top 50, Sue's monthly challenge of 8.5x11" lo; imperfect 'distressed' photo; handwritten journaling & doodling. Photo credit to the lovely Lou...who showed me how brilliant these type of photos are! I'm very grateful for these 2 ladies!

& this one is for From Screen 2 Scrap, with their monthly challenge inspiration 'Little Miss Sunshine'. I'm not a 'yellow' person, so this was a little different for me...but I had fun with it & it came together very easily.

Happy scrapping!
