SFS Retreat!

Last weekend I was lucky enough to escape reality & have some fun @ the SFS Retreat! Peta looked after us so well & all the girls were really lovely & fun, making it a brilliant weekend. One can never complain about fab food, lots of laughs & guilt free scrapping...hehe certainly not me!!!
This is some of what I did over the weekend.
'Guitar Hero' is probably one of my fav's, mainly because of the intensity of my boys face while playing the guitar...I love it!

I had actually done the misting for this one prior to retreat, just didn't get to finish it at the time.

My new Crafters Workshop template...hehe when you look at all my retreat layouts, you notice a bit of a theme happening with the background ;) I certainly made use of it this weekend!

This was a sketch designed by Peta.

The following two layouts were 'blind scrapping' set by Peta...LOL I still find blind scrapping sooo out of my comfort zone, but they were certainly a lot of fun!

Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for all your lovely comments :) I really do appreciate that you take the time to leave me a message x

Happy scrapping!

Scrap the Girls November challenge!

How freaky to think we are in November!!! We are certainly on the downhill run to Christmas...haha sorry, just had to point that out! ;)

The November challenge over @ Scrap the Girls is...

multi photo, dominant colour pink & polka dots.

This is my take on the challenge.

Check out the other CT's brilliant inspiration here. I look forward to seeing everyone else's creations.

Thank you for stopping by & a huge thank you for all your lovely comments...I truely do appreciate each & every one of them! x

Scrapping Happy!

Always happy to be scrapping :) Hopefully I get to do more of it with school being back ;)

'Hello Gorgeous' is purely for play...I'm absolutely loving this 'Echo Park' range :) I've added a bit of yellow paint & a glimmer misted piece...too easy. The hardest part was getting the 'OK' from the daughter, she's not in love with this photo as much as I am!

This next one is for the Top 50 Cybercrop which is currently on...it's been a while since I've joined in a CC & with the topic of sketches, it's a no-brainer ;)

This is for Sue's (Pagemaps) sketch challenge, which I've turned on it's side. We also had to include handmade embellishments, which are the 3 red felt flowers.

Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! They really do mean a lot to me :) x

Happy scrapping!

Passion 4 Fashion ~ wk 5

Week 5 of Passion 4 Fashion over @ Scrapboutique is 'Casual', with 40+ words of journaling & a non-scrapping or household item.
This is my take on the challenge...you can't get more casual & comfortable than my hubby :) Love you babe xxx


Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I really do appreciate them all x

Happy scrapping!

The October challenge over @ Scrap the Girls is to create a layout with the word 'love' in the title & to use distressing on your layout! This challenge was set by Marelize...to see her gorgeous creation & the other CT layouts, visit here.

I had received this very gorgeous Echo Park Paper pack from a special & generous friend, & couldn't wait to play with it :) Thank you my dear friend!
My bit of 'distressing' is the black paint in the background...I admire Crystal's use of black paint on her layouts & wanted to give it a go...especially as I had the paint out after completing my WW1 challenge.

& whilst the paint was still out...this time using the template again ;) hehe I'm already totally in love this this one & can see it featuring in my layouts over & over again!

This next layout is for Scrapboutique's Passion 4 Fashion wk 4 - Western (country). This layout came together surprisingly quickly for me. Again using another Crafters template, though I wished I'd use some texture paint rather than simply inking...next time ;)

I added the button hole section of an old pair of kids jeans, adding the extra large brads as buttons.

Thanks for stopping by...& a huge thank you for your lovely comments! I really do appreciate each & every one of them x

Happy scrapping!

WW1 challenge & CT call...

The october challenge for WW1 is white + black + paints/mist...

Hehe how I suffered with this one ;) lots of scrapping happiness for me with my mist & Crafters Workshop template...haha the hardest part was sticking with one colour ;) I used both mist & paint on this layout.


See the talented CT creations here...speaking of which, while you are there, check out the details for the new Creative Team call. I'm loving my time with WW1 & would highly recommend you giving it a go.

Hope you are all enjoying the long weekend! Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for all your lovely comments...I really do appreciate them, more than words can express! x
