Little Scrapbook Shop 4-7-11

Hi again girls. Over at Little Scrapbook Shop they have a challenge going all year called 4-7-11. Basically its 4 sessions of challenges, with 7 designers all wrapped in 2011. To read more about it, check my sidebar or go on over to the website and join in the fun ;)

Session 1 is all about the 7 Wonders of the World. 

Week 2 was to take inspiration from a gorgeous picture of another Wonder of the world, our very own-Great Barrier Reef.

You had to include, cardstock, 4 different patterned papers, paint and a journal spot.

Here is my layout of Luke at 9 months crawling around outside on the grass, I took inspiration from the colours in the photo, orange, blue, black and a little bit of green.

First up was the Pyramids so the challenge was to make a pyramid album. I did mine about Luke's 1st Birthday. Here is my take:

The front cover

The front and back 

Opened right out

The great part is you can have it closed up or opened up for display, cool I reckon.

Thanks for popping by again and for any comments you take the time to leave....

Get Picky Sketch 5

Hello again all, I am trying to get into a bit more scrapping so hopefully that means I will be blogging more often as well!! I have joined in over at Get Picky again this month. I loved the look of the sketch and knew straight away what photos I was going to use. I have had these photos for a while now even cropped in that size so they suit this sketch well. I have used some OA and Echo Park papers and stickers plus a few Doodlebug Design Inc 'Cute Cuts'.

A little detail.....

The cool sketch!!!

Thank you so much for stopping on by.....take care till next time x

Stuck Sketches February 1st

Over at Stuck Sketches they have two sketches a month and I have started to join in, I am enjoying working with their sketches so I have joined in again. The sketch below is the 1st of February sketch.

So this is the layout I did based on the above sketch. I was so thrilled to meet the wonderfully talented and inspirational Heidi Swapp at last years SIA. Adore that My Minds Eye paper and I've used other bits and pieces too.

Bit of detail

And some more....

Thanks again for stopping by yet again for any love you might leave :)

Kraft It Up February

I love joining in at Kraft It Up and this month the challenge is to use Kraft cardstock and the below colour palette on a layout. 

Here is my take, I have used a bit of My Mind's Eye and OA papers, a Hambly frame, some yummy Chip Chop Shop embellies. The layout is of Luke and I at the Gosford carnival in January 2010. We had fun on some of the rides together.

Thanks so much for stopping by and for any love you might leave :)

White With 1 February

Hi everyone, had a busy week this week. I am slowly easing my way back to work so it means lots of organisation. I think it will be good for me to do just a few hours a week to help out and take the load off a little bit.

I have a new layout to share, I joined in again at White With 1 this month and this time the criteria is to use white + brown + a vintage item(s) on your layout. I have scrapped a photo of myself and the wonderfully talented and lovely Kim Jeffress I met her last year when I went to Queensland. We had  such a fun day scrapping with Lisa Webb and Taryn Stark as well. Go check out all their blogs, they are such talented and lovely ladies.

So my vintage items are the pewter button and the white lace.

'She Inspires Me'

Some detail, I stuck the title to some white cardstock to help it stand out a bit more.

Some more detail, I used a Dusty Attic chippy piece that I love.

I also thought I would share with you a piccie of my biggest boy all ready for his first day of school. He looks way too grown up :( He is loving school though which is great.

Also thought I would show you all gorgeous little Oliver giving Daddy the biggest smiles ever. Too cute!! He is nearly 10 weeks now and getting big. He is such a great baby. 

Thanks for stopping once again and for any comments you leave, I love reading them all.

Over at Show Us Your Stuff they have a great challenge for the Love month-February-to create a project about Love and to include a handmade heart somewhere. Lucky I had the perfect photo and moment to scrap!! Only just last week we were Skyping to my Mum and Luke was sending all sorts of Emoticons to her. He then turned around and came out with, "You are the sweetest thing I ever loved"!!! Mum and I both cried, it was so beautiful. So here is my layout and my handmade heart is the two felt ones with the tiny ribbon attached.

                                  

Thanks for stopping by and for any love left....
