Off The Rails - June Tutorial

It's time to share a little inspiration again plus a link to my tutorial.

I made this layout based on one from Michelle van Wyk from a few years back. It's been on my to-do list for ages and fit perfectly with this month's moodboard.

You can read my full tutorial over on the blog.

It's Spring

Today is officially the first of spring.... yippee. I love spring and autumn... it's not tooooo hot and not toooooo cold... My favourite time of the year.


Today I am posting a few more of my pages that I finished in August... it was a truly successful scrapping month... I did 23 pages from scratch... all done, photographed and filed!

I managed to finish this page (which I had actually started in July!)...it is from a layout designed by Michelle van Wyk... has tons of photos on it.

Next up is another one that has been sitting on my desk for a while.... I was waiting to get my large cutting mat for my curio so that I could cut the circles for this page... finally got it last week. This is one of Jowilna's layouts from a while back.

Some more catchup layouts

I got to spend a whole weekend in my scraproom and got caught up on the pile of unfinished projects... so here they are to drool over:

This first one is a based on notes designed by Michelle van Wyk. It's been sitting on my table for nearly a year waiting to be finishes.

The rest of these are all from notes or classes by Jowilna with my little twists thrown in

Down to my last four that need to be finished... hopefully this week still.

A catchup post of some finished layouts

I've managed this weekend to put some finishing touches onto a few pages, so now is the perfect time to show them as well...

First up is a page that I made for Scrapbook n Things a few years back as part of a kit to sell. Well when I got the page back it had photos on that I had already scrapped, so I just changed the photos and there you go... a whole new layout... perfect title too as this was truly an adventure!

Next up are layouts that I've made in classes with Jowilna... all they needed was either photos, or a title... just finishing really. Well I finally managed to get to that too

This next page was from the Helderfontein scrapping weekend last year.... it sat around for ages needing to be finished...

These next two pages are from my Mom's Antartica trip with my brother in 2013... yip still trying to finish those pages. They are both based on notes from Michelle van Wyk

Yet another Michelle van Wyk set of notes... this one hung around for ages waiting for the template to do the big circle cog but I finally found a pattern paper wheel that I used instead.

Phew quite a few layouts finally completed (some late last year but never actually blogged before). I still have a pile that either need titles added, journalling to finish or photos to be added. I guess I will need another few long weekend to catch up some more.

Easter Scrapping

I decided over this Easter weekend to do some of scrapping using some of the older notes that I have.  It's been fun doing some different pages and also working on other stuff not just DT work.

These first two pages are from notes from Michelle van Wyk

This next one is a kit I received on the scrap cruise last year

I also did two based on notes from Jowilna Nolte

Wow just added up.... along with the last SC layout, plus two Scrap4Jam pages and these four, I did seven pages over Easter... not bad going hey?

Layouts created in 2014

Over December I edited and printed photos and managed to get a whole bunch of unfinished layouts finally finished... 34 in total!!. Here are some of those that I completed:

This first one is a scraplift of a Bernadette van Veyeren layout that was in ScrapAffairs Issue 44

Next up is a "project life" styled layout... I took the idea of PL but turned it into a double page instead.  This was a kit from Scrapbook and Things

I also did a few layouts from Michelle van Wyk's notes

Then there was also the boat cruise that we did in March with Bohemian Scrapsody.  Though I didn't actually scrap on the cruise, I have managed to finish one of the layouts that I received.

So this is just five of the 34 pages I managed to finish... more to come soon.
