Monday Mojo - May

I got some good news to share.... I am part of the Monday Mojo run by Lisa Harris on her blog http://mykreativepursuits.com/. She posts a whole bunch of creative prompts at the beginning of the month and then ideas using them through the month... well I will post on the third Monday of the month,my take on the sketch prompt.

Here is mine for this month

Lots of layers (using up scraps!) and even a handmade flower just for fun.

You can see more ideas on Lisa's blog or her facebook page.

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 440

I had a wonderful weekend away... more coming on that much later... hence all my posts being a bit delayed.

Here is my page for this week's sketch reveal.

I added in an extra photo on my page, but otherwise stuck fairly closely to the sketch.

Check out the blog for some more inspiration.

Scrapbook Challenges - Flashback Friday - Sketch #175

Another Flashback Friday with an old sketch revitalised...

I used a nesting doily type dieset that I have for the circles... and then the little stars that fell out I added back as little embellishments... love the idea.

Check out the blog for the original sketch and other ideas as well.

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 439

Yes the sketch went live yesterday, but we ended up with 4 hours of load shedding so were in the dark with no internet so I couldn't post my page.

I took a few quick shortcuts with this sketch... used four different washi tapes for my edges, then added some stamped stitching on the tops.  Even my title and embellishments are stamped.  A very quick and easy page.

Check out the blog for a few other ideas.

Scrapbook Challenges - Flashback Friday - sketch 162

This is a new feature on the blog this month... revisiting some old sketches and giving them an update.

I was truly inspired to create a simple yet fun page from this new sketch.

I did some stamping and embossing on my page instead of adding in a lot of extra embellishments... just a fun idea to enhance the photos.

So visit the blog and see what others have come up with in revisiting this sketch.

Scrapbook Challenge - Journalling

I do journal on my pages, but it is very much the who,what, when of the photos and not too much else.  These getting these odd challenges thrown my way, I have to figure out how to incorporate them into my style of scrapping... ie the everyday event.  So for this "top 10"challenge, I found a cute Christmas ornament photo I had taken and then listed my top 10 favourite Christmas Carols.  I used a PageMaps sketch for my page too.

So why not stretch yourself too and take part in this challenge. Head over to the blog for some more great ideas.

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 438

It was National Scrapbook Day on Saturday (well in the US anyway) but here I also spent my day scrapping... got three pages done, so was really productive.  Friday was Worker's Day and that was also a productive day for me, with baking creating and the normal washing chore. But I must admit I was super chuffed with getting so much scrapping done this weekend.

I rotated the sketch to better suit my photos and then had fun creating flowers on my cuttlebug.
