Merry Christmas...

I'd like to wish everyone a Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! Let's hope 2013 brings much happiness & health for all!!!
We've enjoyed a wonderful Christmas with all it's festivities, but I'm loving the peace & relaxation of Boxing Day...especially as I found time to scrap! :) :) :)

First one for this months WW1...white + red + christmas photo.

 

Here's a close up of the beads...hehe rather therapeutic selecting & placing all those beads in there ;)

 

This one was simply for fun...love the MME papers, so gorgeous & this photo of my girl.

 

I had a couple of pieces of this paper, so layered the 'follow your heart' piece & using Imaginarium's gorgeous honeycomb chipboard, it was super easy to replicate the hexagon effect in the top of the paper.

 

Again another layout for fun! I started this layout a couple of weeks ago...wanting to play with the Rangers Rock Candy a bit more, so it was good to finally finish it! I had found this old photo of my hubby in our early years which I simply had to scrap...I love this guy more than words can say!

 

 

A close up of the Rock Candy...it was the last bit in the jar & I don't whether it was that or the heat of the day, but the shards ended up falling off, so after gluing them back in, I put another layer of crackle paint to keep it all in place.

 

Thank you for stopping by :) As always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments...I really do appreciate the time you take to leave me one :) x

Happy scrapping...& enjoy the holidays!



SBM 'Masters'

So amazing to see the new SBM Masters for 2013...huge congratulations to them all! It's such a brilliant line up of ladies & I'm in total awe of their entries. I'm super excited for a couple of personal fav's, but wish all the girls a fabulous year ahead!
I feel so honoured to be in the 'Honourable Mentions' magazine...my double layout was a 'sentimental' favourite for me, so to see it there was a bit emotional ;) :)
Here are my other entries...

...using the 5x7 photo

...memorabilia layout, where I used the gift shop wrapping paper

 



...my canvas, which I turned around to create a shadow box effect or a 3D layout.

 

Thank you for stopping by...& a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I really do appreciate the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping.
PS. if anyone has the ability to give me some extra time to do that 'happy scrapping', I would really love it ;)

Scrap the Boys

Ahhhh I didn't think I was going to make this months cut off for Scrap the Boys November challenge...haha just made it in the nick of time! Please excuse the dodgy night time photography ;)

This month was a colour challenge...

I simply loved the colours & had to give it a go...especially as my son had a t-shirt in similar colours. This is what I came up with.

 

 

 

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

Can you believe tomorrow is December!!!

Happy scrapping!

Inspirational Finnabair!

While blog hopping recently, I made a stop & feasted on the gorgeous creations by Anna Dabrowska aka Finnabair. All of her creations are absolutely amazing, but one layout really caught my eye & I sooo wanted to recreate it. This is my take/lift/copy of her layout...

 

Not all my letters are random...there is a (hidden) title in there, to describe this other amazing talent! & my DD pointed out another word that fits for this gorgeous lady! ;) Can you spot them?

 

Here is a close up of the Rangers Rock Candy with the Distress Stains...I so loved the texture that was created doing this. I can see it's going to be something I'll try many more times.

 

You can see Anna's amazing original here...mine still pales in comparison, but I certainly had a lot of fun creating this.





Thank you for stopping by & as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I really do appreciate the time you take to leave me one & I certainly appreciate them x
Happy scrapping!

Scrapping from the heart...

The challenge for this months KIU was minimalist / white space...here is mine.

 

 

I'm blessed with some gorgeous friends...both these layouts are an expression of my gratitude for some of those friendships. I am so lucky :)

 

Thanks as always for stopping by...your lovely words are greatly appreciated, thank you x
Happy scrapping!

KIU challenge!

Woohoo...challenge # 2 completed for the month! Haha it's not as many as I would have liked considering the time left for the month, but I guess you've got to be grateful for what you do get done ;)
This layout is for KIU's challenge of misting...

My kids love to pull faces for the camera...this was my daughter after the excitement of getting 1 Direction tickets, she was mimicking some of their silly faces! I just love the excitement! :)
Thanks for stopping by & a huge thank you for all your lovely comments, they do mean so much to me! x
Happy scrapping!

A layout of love...

This layout was done for a dear friend, as part of a gift for this brave wee girls family. I do not personally know this family, but I've been following their story for months now...I cannot quite imagine the bravery & strength they must require on a daily basis, my heart simply goes out to them! I pray this gorgeous little girl wins her fight & goes on to live an amazing & happy life!

I am reminded to be grateful each & every day for my childrens health & all that is good in our life...for that, I am very thankful!
Thanks for stopping by...I hope life is being extra kind to you! As always, a very big thank you for all your lovely comments, they do bring a smile to my day x
Happy scrapping!
