Premiere Sketch


This month's sketch from http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ is a beauty. Heaps of opportunity for embellishment. These prima stars were just what the doctor ordered.

Premiere Kit


I have had this lo on my desk half finished for over a fortnight and finally got to finish it this morning before heading off to athletics etc. This is a Kristy Cook kit but I have added a couple of extra things from my stash to personalise it.

Have a great weekend!

A Shabby Birthday


The challenge, to help celebrate their 1st birthday, from Let's Get Shabby, is a layout depicting birthdays and evidence of stamping. I must say I discovered some stamps that I had forgotten I had, and put them to good use on this layout. I love Kraft cardstock and found the Dotted Girl paper great to match colours of inks etc for stamping. The little cup cakes are all embossed with clear embossing powder to help them standout on the page. I thought I was finished the lo and was certain it needed something, but what? The light bulb came on when I saw a packet of party poppers in the drawer. You guessed it, I popped a couple and used their contents on my page as an embellishment. Now it really is a party page!!!!

A Premiere Kit


Bought this kit yesterday from Scrapbooking Premiere. Changed it a little to suit the photograph of Barry and Jan, parents of the bride from my previous post. I had fun doing this as you can just follow the instructions; get a result without too much brain strain.

Kraft it Up Challenge











Always wanting to use more photos on your page? Kraft it up's challenge is to use 4 to 6 photos on a layout. Having just attended a very special friend's wedding, I used this challenge to scrap some of my photos.

I decided to use a heart as the first base, and forgive me Christie, but I cut you in half, to allow the heart to open and reveal some passport size photos of the parents and the bridesmaids in side. I love the ruffle ribbon and it hides the edge of the heart well. Used a lot of ink and a couple of stamps to embellish the inside of the lay out. Had fun doing this one, thanks for the challenge http://www.kraftitup.blogspot.com/

Hey!! Another one....


I'm on a roll.....Kraft it Up's challenge this month is minimalistic. I don't think I have done any minimal los since I started scrapping so this was a challenge in itself. Had to keep saying "leave it alone, don't touch it!!!" to myself otherwise there would have been more than 3 elements on the page.

Finally a page!!!!!


Seems like forever and it really is but I finally have had some time to myself and did the sketch challenge from Scrapbooking Premiere. Have quite a few photos from Bowen athletics and this sketch allowed me to us a couple.
