Show Us Your Stuff April 15th 2011

Over at Show Us Your Stuff the second challenge for the month of April was to use buttons, as many or as few as you liked, big, small, whatever!! Also include a handmade item as well.

So I have scrapped a professional photo of Luke at just 8 months old. I have heaps of these photos to scrap so I thought I had better get on to them!!!

 I have used lots of different sized buttons and a cute little chippie digger.....

 and I have had a go at covering my own buttons. My Mum gave me a heap of fabric so I thought since its all the rage I would give it a go, so its the red gingham one you can see here.

I have also put in an application for the CT call at Show Us Your Stuff too so wish me luck!!! I would LOVE to be a part of their AWESOME team!!!1

See you all soon........xx

Hi everyone!! Just thought I would pop on today and show you a couple of sneaks of some classes I will be teaching coming up in May at Pages 2 Scrap .

The first one I am teaching is a cute little mini album/bag just in time for Mother's Day, using the all new Echo Park 'For the Record' range. This class is the day before Mothers Day, so what a perfect opportunity to come along and make your Mum something special for her to keep for herself or you can always keep it for you or someone else ;) This was so much fun to make......my Mum is going to LOVE it!!!!

 Please see in sidebar for how to book and more details.....

 LOVE this new range by Echo Park....

I would love for you to come along and join in the fun of creating this little bag/album.

The second class I am teaching is a single page layout, we will be making our own chipboard buttons and incorporating them onto a layout. This class is using the bright and fun Jillibean Soup 'Monster Stew' range.

This class is perfect for all those photos of your kids pulling 'silly faces' whether you have girls or boys it will suit either!!! I love doing pages that suit either a boy or girl, very versatile!!!

Here is a little sneak of what the layout looks like.......

 Please see in sidebar for more details and how to book in....I hope to see you there!!!

Thanks heaps for stopping by......take care all x

Scrap The Boys April 2011

I have joined in over at Scrap The Boys again this month. Love the challenges they put up. This time its to take inspiration from an outfit your boy/hubby is wearing. You could take inspiration from the colours, the textures, the patterns etc. So here is what I have done, I love this jumper that Luke is wearing, he got so much wear out of it!!! I have used the colours as inspiration and have used colours that match his jumper on my layout. I also wanted to add the rustic effect of the drum he is leaning so I used some Tim Holtz Distress Ink.

 These cogs are so awesome, got them from Scrapmatts...

 I used the white Swiss Dot Cardstock so that it highlighted once I used the Distress Ink.

Thanks so much for stopping by....take care.....

White With 1 April 2011

Sorry I have been a bit slack, had so much on and not a great deal of time for scrappin. Anyway I have managed to do the White With 1  challenge today and this month the challenge is to use White, Olive Green and Twine on your layout. So this is what I have come up with. One of my fave photos of Luke at only 9 months old. He loved to get out and about in the backyard.

 I love the look of the twine tied like this...

 Some more detail.....
