Let's Scrap - 1 March reveal

It might be a few days after the beginning of the month, but our sketch has finally been revealed and I can share my layout

We used a "blast from the past" sketch for this week.... and I made my layout from the left side of this sketch.

Come check out more inspiration on the blog and play along for some fun.

Giving a hoo-hoo-hoooooo

One of Aaron's teachers will be leaving his school at the end of this term. He was heartbroken when he heard the news last week. I made this little owl (with a magnet on the back) for a farewell gift for her.

Stick It Down - March double page

It's the first Monday of the month and that means the double page reveal at Stick It Down.

I really liked this sketch but decided to include a large photo on the left page as well as I find it very hard to scrap a double layout with photos only on one side.

I went for a little bit of a mixed media effect for my title.... I did the inky plastic bag stamp trick with a few shades of blue oxides to create some splashes behind my large title. I also used a stencil to ink the arrow onto my page. The letters for my title are handcut from a stencil with stickers for the "from our" words.

Come play along on the blog and see what the rest of the team did for inspiration.

ScrapPlezier - Copper

I have a new layout up today on the blog at ScrapPlezier...

My layout is based on a Jowilna original with some major twists. I used an old Kaisercraft range for my layout... Kaisercraft Party Animals. I cut up the Bop! paper for all the different cards and then used the yellow side of Yippee  and the blue side of Hooray (blue side) to matt my large photo. I added stickers off the sticker sheet for my borders and also used the barcode from the one sheet.  My title letters as well as the flowers and little stickers are all from my stash. I also used a Carabelle script stamp as well as Jowilna's inksplat stamp on my page.

Just another fun layout about our precious little wild bunny who used to visit.

Together with my friends

I made this layout during February using the Scrapbook Generations Valentine's sketch freebie

I definitely think it's time for another fun Ladies Night.

Anyone for pizza?

After more than a month of only scrapping at home (and then only little bits) I went to a class today at Shortcuts.... sooooooooooo good to be back and to see Jowilna and all my other friends. And look at this... my page is 100% complete, photographed and blogged all on the same day!

I really enjoyed making this layout... even getting covered in ink! I used up old stash and managed to get a memory down on paper.

Let's Get Sketchy - 1st March

Phew February past in a blink and now it's a new month which means new scrapbooking layout reveals. Here's today's first one:

We worked with this moodboard as well for inspiration

And here's the sketch... I rotated it to better suit my pics.

Come and play along with me on the blog and see lots of other inspiration too.

Hexagons galore

I decided this month to try my hand at the latest Kaisercraft challenge from their blog... to create a layout with hexagons.

I used an older collection for my layout...Forget-Me-Not. All the small hexagons, the title and the tags are from the collectables pack.

I am also entering this layout in the Sketch N Scrap bonus challenge where we needed to use chipboard elements and thread (I stitched all around the hexagons). Plus this is my single page for one of the Scrapbook Generation's Life Is A Circus crop challenges. Phew nice to be able to multitask on a page.

Off The Rails - Ribbon tutorial

I have made a 3d breast cancer ribbon for my tutorial this month.

I used Lady Pattern Papers and lots of pink and white flowers, buttons and bling to add to my design.

You can see my full tutorial on the blog.

I was inspired by the competition in Scrap Affairs to make something pink. This project stewed around in my brain for over a month before I actually sat down and made it.

Weekend quilling

I hauled out my quilling this week and now the bug has bitten again. I made a few new creations:

Clown

Dalmation

 The inspiration for this little puppy I got from this youtube video

Penquin

This little penguin is a birthday gift for a school friend of Aaron's who loves penguins. The inspiration for this was from a picture we found on the internet and then I figured out how to make him with a few alterations.

So remember, if you would like something made that I haven't done before, I can find inspiration anywhere and create a little creature.
