Let's Scrap Sketches - 15 May

It's taken me a few days to get this post together. Been a busy working week and I have a quilling project rolling around in my brain that I need to get done in the next two weeks. Also been applying to Universities for Aaron... yikes where has the time gone that my little boy is going to be finishing school in a few months. Mid-year exams start on Monday!

I am also desperately trying to get some motivation to do some scrapping. Need some scrap therapy quickly! I managed to get most of my May layouts done last month and am already nearly finished with June, but have only done two pages this whole month so far. Here is my layout for this sketch reveal:

For another month I've only made a single page... used the right side of the sketch and kept it pretty simply. Used some Bo Bunny papers to record this rather sad event. Don't you just love the bunny tag at the top?


Visit the blog for lots more inspiration by the DT.

IQCG - May Butterflies

Our theme this month is butterflies. I love butterflies and have made a few different ones over the years but have always looked for new ideas to make others. I started crafting some whilst we were on our beach holiday in March but didn't really like how they turned out so never completed them. I think best I go back and tackle that project. I did however manage to complete this cute one and added it to a card:



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

Off The Rails - Tiny Bubbles

Our theme this month is all things Hippy. Well I just went for colourful plus I love the pic on the moodboard of the girl blowing the dandilion... just like these kids blowing bubbles:


This layout is based on a Jowilna original design which I tweeked a little to suit my photos. I love the papers from Illustrated Faith...the colours just worked well with my photos and also added to the moodboard theme. I diecut the bubble circles and even added some of the solid bits to my page too.


Come join the fun over on our facebook group.

Sketch N Scrap - May 1st sketch

Today I am sharing my layout using the newest sketch:

These pics from Wyndford are from our trip in 2015 when we had a hailstorm on Saturday afternoon... the trees there are also just so magestic and interesting. I used papers from Penelope Dee on my layout and also stamped the two pinecones from the matching stampset.



Join us on facebook for the 7th Birthday Bash Bingo as well... this layout is one of the challenges so you can cross off a bingo block if you play along. Come join the crop.

Stick It Down - May2019 Double

It was NSD this past weekend and I had lots of plans of scrapping all weekend. Well that went out the window in one fell swoop when I got tons of private work to do..... so I worked all weekend. Now I need another one just to catch up with myself. Thankfully Wednesday is a holiday (yes we must all go vote) so hoping that I can get some down time and scrap a little too.

I had fun a few weeks ago when I made this cute page for today's reveal.



Our sponsor is Cheapo Dies and the wreath die that I used on my page is one that is available from them (though I didn't buy it from them as I have had it in my stash for quite some time and this was a good excuse to use it!).

I must say I really love how my layout turned out...this is the sketch we are following:
