Scrapbooking Premiere Sketch

No really a sketch girl but this will be my second lo done from sketch. Scrapbooking Premiere have introduced a sketch challenge as well as their lo challenge so I thought I would have a go. The photos were only taken yesterday when the kids went for their joy flight. Love the coloured ribbon; just sets off the black and white background and red circle nicely!!!

A Special Day Tomorrow

Two of the special people in my life have a birthday tomorrow. My beautiful twins turn 9 on the 13th. We have had a very busy day today and tomorrow will be no different. Off to breakfast with the grandies in the morning and a bbq with friends tomorrow night. I have done the cake as well. Not as elaborate as other years due to time restraints, but a cake none the less.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY YOU TWO....May your lives be filled with love and joy....

My First Sketch Challenge

Scrap Therapy has a sketch challenge and here is my take. I usually don't work from a sketch so this was quite interesting for me. Helps when the mojo is lagging I can tell you...

September Challenge Scrapbooking Premiere

Sandra and her team at http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ have put up their September challenge. Quite a few elements required but they all came together nicely in this lo. I love Heidi Grace paper and have had this piece for quite a while just waiting for the right lo. What could be more girly than Dana dressed as Sharpay from High School Musical. I love using flowers and ribbons on girls pages and the chipboard corner with flowers and butterflies was also ideal. Have a great day....

September 123

The September 123 challenge is up and is very interesting. The three elements to be included in the lo are Bookpaper, the word "Smile" and a non scrappy item. Of course the first two elements are quite easy, but what to put on a page that is not considered a "scrappy" item. Whilst contemplating this I started playing in Photo Shop and cropped a number of photos with different people smiling in all different ways. The light bulb came on, I could use these photos for my lo. Still under a little cloud with the non scrappy items until the kids asked me to help floss their teeth. Aha!!!! dental floss is a non scrappy item and voila a lo is born....HAPPY FATHERS DAY!!!!

Book week take 2

Thanks to Michelle I have now added a hand sewn border to the bookweek lo although I have added an overcast stitch with my flat stitches for a little bit of unpredictability, (gosh is that a word). This really finished the lo off. Many thanks again Michelle.

1st book week layout

I wanted this lo for Kendall to be simple yet tell the story. I think I have done thate however I really think there is something missing. (Any suggestions gratefully received!). Photo does not show that it is Mr Bean's face Kendall is holding in front of him.

Still have Dana's lo to go but really can't decided what to do yet!!!!
