Sketch N Scrap - 7th Birthday Bash

We're having a month long birthday celebration with bingo to celebrate 7 years for Sketch N Scrap.

Along with our regular monthly sketches, we will have a new sketch for National Scrapbook Day (on the 4th) AND we will be playing Birthday Bash Bingo all month long in a closed group on Facebook! You do not want to miss it! Be sure to "Like" our Sketch N Scrap Facebook page so you will be up to date on what's going on!

The fun starts May 1st and we will open up the "bingo hall" on April 30th so you can get acquainted with friends old and new and be ready for the first challenge which will launch May 1st.  Don't worry if you are late to the party, we will be adding people all month long and you will have until the end of May to play along and get a "bingo" or better yet a "black out"!!

Every challenge will need to be based on a sketch from Sketch N Scrap. You can find these on the blog or on pinterest. All your entries will need to be posted in the correct challenge album to count towards bingo and/or blackout.


Come play along with us all month.

Scrapbook n Things - Challenge 5 (second time around)

After my previous attempt at making a layout for entry into the challenge and only after realising that it was toooooo much of a scraplift, I tried again. I luckily still had lots of stuff from the challenge pack left so could make a good page.

I added in the brown and red cardstocks and the little blue letter stickers. The rest is all from the kit. For my feathers I used a few distress oxide inks to add various colours to pick up all the paper colours. Love how variegated they are.

To finish off my page I added some stamped stitching around three edges in yellow. It didn't show up quite as well as I had hoped so then I added some gold perfect pearls powder to it too... sort of went slightly overboard and so now there are gold flecks over most of my page (and my desk!).

I would really love if you could vote for my layout... but you must like Scrapbook and Things on facebook too for your vote to count! Just find the post for Challenge 5 and then pick your top three layouts.

Off The Rails - April Moodboard - Boys

Wow April sure has rushed past us again. I managed to get a bit of scrapping done all month long (inbetween all my quilling too!).

Here's my super boy inspired layout for Off The Rails this month... all about the accidental side of having a boy!

This layout is based on a Jowilna original page and is used with LadyPatternPaper ranges. I stuck with the blues and browns to pick out the colours in the photos.

Here is our moodboard to inspire you too:

I made the card and envelope for a friend's daughter's nursery school teacher. The class is evidently called the Owlets. Elizabeth also loves owls so asked for a few more... hence the whole host of them. Did you know that a group of owls is called a parliament?

Hope you are following along with all my creations and not getting toooo bored of them... we are only just over a quarter of the way through.

IQCG - ATC Cards

This month our theme is Artist Trading Cards or commonly know as ATCs. Well I've never made these so this is a first for me. Actually they were quite easy... just very small... 3x2 inches. I decided to stick to a theme across my 3 cards... buzzing bees.

Be sure to check out the IQCG blog all month long for loads more ideas.

Everyday's An Adventure

I made this layout over the weekend using the challenge 5/19 kit from Scrapbook n Things.

This layout is based on a Jowilna original so I can't actually enter it into the competition but I must say that I really really like how it all came together. I managed to used something of everything in the kit.

Thankfully I still have goodies leftover so I am going to make another layout this weekend and see if I can enter then.... hehehe....silly me!

Let's Scrap Sketches - 15 Apr

It's nearing Easter and I am thinking a lot this week about this special season. I've been doing a lot more Bible reading and trying to focus on God without being distracted by all the "Easter bunny" and eggs side of things. We watched a video at Ladies Fellowship on Saturday by J. John about "What happened at God's funeral"...this sure made me think. Especially the bit about why we wear the cross. Go check it out. It's very thought provoking.

Now on to some scrapping... look it's a bunny (hehehe).

I used the right side of this week's sketch for my layout and stuck to a very neutral theme of green and brown. I used papers from Lady Pattern Paper that I've been holding on to for a while. I even got to use my new bunny stamp I bought last month just as an added extra.
