Hi everyone.......hope you all had a great weekend!!! We had quite a wet weekend here so I got some scrappin in and lots of playing on the Wii with Luke!!!! He is addicted to that thing LOL!!!!!

'Look Up to the Sky and See...' is my take on Challenge 2 for the 'Dream a Little Dream' competition over at Enchanted Scrapbooking there was a photo to take inspiration from and also to use misting as extra criteria also. 
'Blushing Bride' is my layout for Tracey's lovely challenge for the May Cybercrop over at ScrapAWhile She asked for the colour combo of pink, teal and orange. Also to include a large frame/circle as well. 
'Biker Boys' is my take on the DT Only challenge for the cybercrop at Scrap A While. The criteria was to have no patterned paper, no bling, paper pleating, a raw chippie piece and 5 stars. After I did my layout I found out the my patterned Kraft Cardstock wasn't allowed...oh well I am happy with my layout anyway. 
'Tractor Time' is my take on Kim Jeffress' blind scrap challenge for the cybercrop at ScrapAWhile I have used the new-not yet released- Kaisercraft 'Konstruct' range of papers. 
'Explore' is my take on Kylie's sketch challenge for the No Themed Cybercrop over at ScrapAWhile. Come on over and join in the fun!!!!
'Anne Hathaways Cottage' is for my challenge that I set for the Mad About Scrappin 'Over the Rainbow' Cybercrop. I asked for colour combinations from the song...'I Can See a Rainbow'. Red and yellow and pink and green...you know the rest!!!!! I  chose Pink and Green together. The Cybercrop is still under way so go on over and check out all the other fabbo challenges.
Thanks for stopping by once again....

Hi everyone...sorry i have been a little slack this week with blogging........I have been SUPER busy with life and scrapping but I can't share all just yet. A lot of the scrapping I have been doing has been for kits that I can't show yet, but I have been fitting in a few layouts here and there for different challenges etc.

'Make a Wish' is Kylie's May 15th challenge over at ScrapAWhile She chose to do a scraplift challenge and chose the very talented Ebony Van Der Starre's layout to lift. So this is my take on Ebony's layout. I had fun doing this one. I had just bought the Fiskars Apron Lace Border Punch too so it was perfect timing. 
'Mary Poppins' is the DT only challenge for the May Movie Madness Cybercrop over at Scrap With V We had to include all this on the one layout, tissue flowers, mesh as a mask, modge podge a serviette or doily, stars, 3 coloured blings, a picture still from a movie and a movie censor rating (I used G). Now how is that for criteria!!!!!!
'Pepsi Max' is a layout I did for the May Cybercrop at Little Scrapbook Shop. The challenge was to scrap about a drink, so of course I had to do Pepsi Max!!!
'Olden Days' is my take on Lisa Kamphuis' challenge for the Recycle It Cybercrop over at Mad About Scrappin She asked for recycled items on your layouts, so I have old book paper, a bottle top, a wooden star, a playing card and twine.  I have used the lovely Graphic 45 'Proper Gentleman' range on this layout too.
This layout is my take on the A2Z Scraplet challenge for April also using the very cool Graphic 45 'Proper Gentleman' range. I was lucky enough to win the first random draw and I won lots of yummy Scraplets. There were heaps in the pack!!!!
I have met such a fantastic, gorgeous girl online who shares my love of scrapping. She is Lisa Webb.....the only problem is, she lives in QLD :(  We met while on the same design team together and although she has now stepped down, we still remain really close and keep in contact often. I am flying up to visit and meet her in June and I can hardly wait. We are going to have THE BEST TIME. Kim Jeffress and Taryn Stark are also coming along to join in the fun so IT WILL BE AWESOME. I can't wait to meet those gorgeous gals too. I cherish our friendship so much, I just wish we could live closer to each other so we could scrap, scrap, scrap together ALL THE TIME!!!!!! Oh well maybe one day.....sigh!!!!
Don't forget to pop on over to ScrapAWhile on Thursday the 20th of May from about 7pm. There will be bingo, challenges and lots of fun to be had. There are also little prizes too and you have till the next Tuesday to get the challenges done.
Until next time thanks for stopping by.......

Hi Guys,
Have some exciting news to tell. The other day one of my layouts was picked to be 'Featured' on the Websters Pages InspireMe page. Go to this link if you want to see what layout it is. So excited. Never would have thought that would happen to me.

The other exciting news is that Tiff Sawyer emailed me personally to ask me if I would like to be guest designer at Twiddleybitz in the coming months. WOW!!!! I was so shocked but so excited when she asked me. I can't wait to use their gorgeous products.

Well thats it for today, I have to get some scrappin done. I have deadlines to meet so I had better get cracking as I am a little behind with everything I need to do.

Thanks for stopping by.....

Hi all, here I am again!!!
Well here is all that I have to share with you from SIA, I am sharing all the class stuff I did and all the make and takes as well. Hope you like it all.

Here is my take on the Tuesday night crop challenge that we had. Everyone received pretty much the same things in their kit and we had to use the exact same sketch and only things from the kit on the layout. The hard part was that NOTHING matched at all so it was quite a challenge. I was very happy with how my layout turned out though. I had such a great night that night too. There was also a charity auction where some clocks (made by well known scrappers) were auctioned off. Some of the clocks were STUNNING too, I would have LOVED one but thought better of it. 
This double layout below is from the fantastic Kaisercraft class with Melissa Kennedy. She is SO much fun and I had a blast in her class. We used the the all new Le Chateau range for this one. LOVE this range. 
This layout below is missing the title as it has to be sent to me because they were out of stock for them. But the layout is from the Bella! class that I did. Sandra Staples was the teacher and she is great...I really enjoyed her class.
This is the gorgeous make and take at the Prima stand. Sherry Mendoza was there encouraging everyone to get right into it!!!!!! I had such fun making this too. Isn't she gorgeous!!!!!!! 
This make and take would have to be my favourite. It was at the Dusty Attic stand. The girls are all beautiful and they won the prize for best booth as well. My Mum will LOVE this so I better make her one of these as well.  
This was one of the many different make and takes at the Collections Elements stand. I adore this cotton spool. It was so easy to make too. I bought the kit so I could make heaps of them. My Mum will love this when she sees it too. 
This was the make and take at the Scrapware stand. This is simply stunning and I love it so much. This one also takes pride of place on my Tattered Angels apron too.
This is the make and take at the Twiddleybitz stand. Those girls are all so sweet and I really enjoyed making this for my Mum for Mothers Day.
This is the very generous and GORGEOUS kit that we all got for Heidi Swapps Tattered Angels Glimmermist class.
Here is what we did with it all. We used screens and a variety of differnet techniques on the Fascination Folder. The look of it is stunning .........I just LOVE this.
This is a card I made at the Kaisercraft stand using their not yet released Le Chateau papers and embellies. I LOVE this range and you should see the free stash of it that I got. I got like 3 of the 6 x 6 paper pads and that is just a little bit.  
This was the make and take at ScrapFX using new Bo Bunny papers and their new flexible laser cut chipboard pieces. Glimmermisted numbers as masks and used the screen itself to do the inside.
This was the make and take at Bumble Bee crafts- it is a slide card...how cute is it? Using the new Karen Foster Designs Jungle Paper and Stickers

                                                    This was the Make and take at 2Crafty
This is me at SIA with my entry in the Design Diva competition. There were 30 entries all up and they were all gorgeous. I didn't win but I never thought I would, it was more of a challenge for me for myself. 

Thanks again for visiting......

Sorry I haven't been here lately...I have so much to catch up with. Have just been to SIA and OMG it was awesome!!! My first ever time going and although I thought it was quietish I got a lot from it. I will get around to sharing what I made etc eventually and also my usual layouts but at the moment its just a quick post with a couple of photos to share with you.

I got to meet Heidi Swapp at SIA. She is a beautiful lady and such an inspiration to scrapbooking. She gave such a warming, emotional and inspirational speech as well. I did the Tattered Angels class with her and I learnt so much about Glimmermist at that class. I had a ball!!!!

 

Come on over to ScrapAWhile from Thursday the 20th of May and running all that weekend we will be having a Cybercrop with no theme. There will be challenges and bingo and fun over the weekend so make sure you come on over and check it all out.

This is the layout I did for the 1st challenge for the Dream a Little Dream competition over at Enchanted Scrapbooking
