Scrapbook Challenge - Full House Challenge

The mid-week challenge is up and I managed to get a layout done for it... thanks to Jowilna for the great inspiration.

I used three pieces of washi tape... two just under the pictures. The third on is the "tuesday" strip under my title.
The three different alphas are in the fonts of my stamps and title
The three word art strips are stamped phrases around my page.
Added 9 enamel dots and starts scattered across the bottom of the page.

I must say I really did enjoy doing this challenge and love my finished page.

Head to the blog and see some more examples of this plus why not try your hand at this challenge.

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 444

We've just had a lovely weekend away at Hartebeespoort Dam and now it's back to more of a normal routine... except that tomorrow is a public holiday so at least I don't have to get up too early.

Last week I managed to do a little scrapping... even took some photos especially for this page... hehe. I used up some scraps and also coloured some doilles to add to the diecut doily I used on this page too.

Check out the blog for a few more ideas with this page from the design team.

Scrapbook Challenges - Sketch 443

Okay so it's been a quiet few weeks here on my blog... I've been rather busy with work, family and a few other things... so there was not a heck of a lot of scrapping happening.  I did manage to scrap last week Monday and made the layout for today's reveal.

I started my page with the idea of four separate photos but then I found that my pics were just a tad toooo big so ended up with a strip rather... actually very chuffed with how that evolved.  Then due to having loads of photos, I also added a mini-album as well... which is really the pics about the wedding... the occasion of our dinner.

Head on over to the blog to see more of what the DT created.

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.

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.
