Cornelia Designs - A Bug's Life

Wow Cornelia has been on a roll this week and gotten three different kits available for National Scrapbooking Day sale at The Digital Press. The benefit for me is that I get to scrap with these beauties.

The third kit today is A Bug's Life... perfect for all those creepy crawlies that are around... like the spider we found nesting in our water meter box... yuck!


Check out this full collection on sale this weekend at The Digital Press.



Cornelia Designs - Plant Water Grow

 It's a busy weekend with National Scrapbooking Day tomorrow. Lots of new kits being released just in time.... like this beautiful one from Cornelia called Plant, Water, Grow.


I don't have a green thumb at all... more likely to kill plants than help them grow. I do however like to photograph those that we have... like our strelitzia that bloomed twice this past week after nearly 20 years of no flowers at all.

Check out this collection at The Digital Press.



Cornelia Designs - Hello Good Morning

It's National Scrapbooking Day tomorrow and The Digital Press is having a sale and lots of lovely new kits. Today Cornelia has released a lovely collection called Hello Good Morning just in time for this great event.


This collection has papers, elements, cards and wordstrips... such a jampacked kit indeed


Check it out at The Digital Press.

The Lilypad - April challenges

Besides the SWL Make It Snappy layout that I did at the beginning of April, I wasn't sure if I would in fact get any of the other challenges at The Lilypad done for this month. But I have dived into scrapping mode the last two days and pulled it off.

There are at least two others that I could potentially still do this month but I think I will give it a break and do lots of backing up now to get ready for this weekend's onslaught of International Scrapbooking Day (#iNSD2021)

Gingerscraps - April challenges

Another great month of doing the challenges at Gingerscraps though I did leave it all to this last week to get them done. This was mainly as I was doing the Scrap Survivor and Dandelion Dust Design challenges plus all my DT work first. Now that I have had a few moments free I could concentrate on these.

I really love being able to do my 10 layouts each month to earn the free kit.... not much effort for a great reward. This month the layouts are very varied with loads of different kits and styles used. Definitely stretching myself a little.

Gingerscraps - Survivor - Craft Fair - Week5

This is the final challenge for the Survivor Craft Fair. I needed to get it done and posted before heading off to Wyndford this weekend, as I won't be able to upload over the weekend.. Our theme this week is jewelry.


As I don't wear much jewelry anymore besides my wedding ring, that is my go to jewelry piece for this challenge.

It's been a fun few weeks of Survivor challenges, Glad to have gotten them all done.

Gone Digital Design - Easter Mini

Shannel has been quiet on the design front for a while but it's mainly due to computer issues. She did manage to design some torn papers and edges last month and a very pretty Easter mini kit which I've used together on this layout.


You can check out all these kits in the Gone Digital Designs shop at The Digital Press.

Gingerscraps - Survivor - Craft Fair - Week4

 Survivor Craft Fair is turning into a great challenge just like last year. 

This week's challenge is all about our hobby scrapbooking. We had to use two layouts from the current game and use them to make our layout. I chose one that used a photo turned into a sketch and another that had a poem as the journaling... a great combination for my layout that has been rattling around in my head for a while.



The immunity challenge this week is all about using wordart... so I made this layout quickly.

I enjoyed putting these together and can't wait for next week and the final challenges.
