Sketch Challenge

I have been so inspired by the sketch this month at Challenge Heaven also by the great example by Simone Morrison ... I just had to have a go ! I have used Pink Paislee Butterfly Garden PP's, with some Kaiser blooms, chippy and pearls !  I'm really quite proud of this page and how it has turned out, pics are from my Mum's wedding, in which I was her Bridesmaid, and 6 weeks away from having my first child !

Here is Heather's Sketch :

Thanks for looking : )

My first LO teaching gig ...

I had a very exciting weekend at the 'Paper Daisy' scrapbooking retreat at Pt Vincent SA !! Unfortunately I could only attend on the Saturday, but really enjoyed it ! I taught 2 classes, which was a big deal for me as I have not taught like this before.

Here are the 2 LO's I taught, one of which needed to be altered slightly due to a mis calculation in stock, but the ladies didn't mind and really enjoyed the classes : )
I can't wait to do it again, and hopefully next time I can stay the whole weekend ... (fingers crossed)

Upcoming retreat

I have been very lucky to have been asked to teach 2 pages at an upcoming retreat for Paper Daisy, on the Yorke Peninsula !! I am quite excited about doing this and look forward to meeting new scrappy friends : )

Here are a little sneak peeks of the 2 classes I'll be teaching, I'll share the LO's next week, as I'd hate to spoil the surprise for them !!

The first class I'll be using October Afternoon, Seaside range, love the vintage beach look of these PP's !!

and here is a peek at the second one, I'll be using Kaisercraft, English Rose !!

Thanks for popping by : )

A catch up ...

It has been awhile since I have blogged, but I have been scrapping !!

New September challenges are up at Challenge Heaven and here are 2 of my takes on this months fab Challenges !

This is one I have done for the Theme challenge, which you need to have a RIDE themed pics, plus a button. I have used Echo Park Little Boy PP's love these, so bright and playful ! I have used a Lime Tree Creations button aswell !

Here is the second of shares I have for this month's Challenges, it is a Title challenge and you must use either Dad or Father in the main title, in honour of Father's Day Today. I have used Bo Bunny, Peacock Lane PP's to do this cheeky LO of my dad and I : )

Challenge Heaven Cyber Crop

Don't miss Challenge Heaven's August Cyber Crop.

Join me and the FAB DT's Simone, Becci and Kerri on the 19th of August.

Lets GO WILD !!!

Back scrappin !!

Yay, finally I have managed a LO that I am really happy with. I have been struggling lately to complete LO's and just get the creative juice's flowing.

Becci's Technique Challenge at Challenge Heaven was just what I needed !!

The technique is using corrugated cardboard, and there is even a tutorial of how to use a pizza box (un-used obviously) and turn it into the main focus of your LO ! I have always wanted to have a go at this, and this challenge was a great time to give it a go ! The added criteria is to use a pin, simple : )

So here it is ...

I have also used ...

• Dusty Attic - Chicken Wire and also Picket Fence (altered)
• Green Leaf Pin
• MME Lime Twist PP (Fly a Kite - LT1004)
• Muslin colored with Suede Glimmermist
• AC Thickers
• Prima - Swaney Collection flowers

Here is another LO I have done for the August Challenges, this one is an Ebony OR Ivory Challenge, so you need to choose either Black or White and then add Red and Pink ! The added criteria is Gloss. I have added gloss to the gorgeous chippy ladybug by scrapware.

While I'm here blogging for the first time in ages, thought I's share a couple of other bits I've created. I was very inspired when I saw the new G45 range, Magic of Oz ! I just had to make a little wall hanging, with a little bit of fussy cutting, foam tape and red glitter a lovely little hanging was created to hang in my scrap room !

And lucky last is a card I was asked to make for a friend. I have made a gorgeous wall hanging using the G45 Once Upon a Springtime range, and my friend was inspired to make a similar one for her daughters 6th birthday. So, she asked me to create a card to go with the gift ! I'm not much of a card maker, but I'm really happy with this card, hope the little girl LOVES it, as much as I do : )

Til next time, take care and thanks for stopping by x

Oh and don't forget to pop on over to Challenge Heaven to be inspired by the great challenges each month !!

2 weeks to go til the August Cyber Crop !!

First Day

At Challenge Heaven we also have a Scraplift Challenge this month. A great opportunity to use other members LO's for inspiration to create something similar. I was inspired by a LO by Melissa Hortin, who had done a page titled 'Showing your cheeky side', it inspired me to use my Kaiser 'Class of 87' PP's and embellishments.

I have used very similar PP placement and embellishments are her, and I have also used a Lime Tree Creations Doily.

Like my doily, you could get one of your own from Lime Tree Creation, who have a give away each month and also a challenge each month !! This months challenge is Holidays, check it out here
