ScrapWithV are having a Cybercrop starting this coming Friday the 3rd of September. Come along and join in all the fun. You have all week to get the challenges done and uploading them starts the Saturday of the following week.
I have lots to share with you. It is my turn to set the monthly challenge over at
ScrapAWhile for September. I have set a photo inspiration challenge in a Father's Day theme of course!!!! I have taken inspiration from the Father and Son together for my example layout. Hop over tothe forum and see what all the other very talented DT girls have done as well. You might just find your own inspiration from the image and give it a go. We would love you to!!!!
I have just come back from the AWESOME Little Scrapbook Shop Retreat in Kurrajong, NSW. We all had an absolute ball and I met some lovely and very talented ladies. Here is what I did at the retreat.
This layout below 'Dream' is Belinda Comerford's class she taught at the retreat. Part of her class was to painstakingly make all those handmade flowers and to use them on our layout and card. We used the beautiful new Sassafras Lass range of papers for these two projects.
This double layout below 'The Louvre Musuem Paris' is from Kerryn Leworthy's class. We got to use the new Basic Grey 'Olivia' range of papers for her wonderful class. We also got to use the new Doilies that Basic Grey have bought out. They are SO gorgeous....I love them.
'Outdoors Boy' is just a layout that I did of Luke of some photos that my gorgeous Mum took of him. Used all October Afternoon papers and isn't the windmill chippie so cute?
We received a challenge kit at the start of the retreat to complete at our own pace if we wanted to join in. I did these two layouts plus one card with the kit. We were allowed to include anything else we wanted to add from our stash and you didn't have to use everything in the kit either. The kit had Paper Loft papers in it.
Yay, I had another layout accepted for publishing....woohoo!!!!

I will give this card to my Dad for Father's Day!!!
This next layout was a 45 minute challenge to scrap a layout about anything and use whatever you wanted on the layout. I procrastinated for a little bit but eventually got something done. I used the new 'Echo Park' 'Walk in the Park' range of papers and embellies that I bought at the retreat.
The September kits are now available over at
Scrap With V they are all beautiful kits and are at bargain prices too so head on over and check them all out. 'Down by the Sea' is the layout I created with the kit I received. The papers are Kaisercraft 'Esperance' range.
My time is up now for being the Guest Design Team member for the month of August at
Twiddleybitz below are the last two projects I did with the goodies I received. I so enjoyed being the guest for August...I had a great time and LOVE their products so much.
'Precious Memories' is using the Kaisercraft 'Le Chateau' range of papers and of course Twiddleybitz chipboard.
