Layouts in this months Scrapbook Creations

I was so thrilled to be choosen as one of the Who's Who of Scrapbooking with Scrapbooking Creations, which I had to create one Beyond the Page and two layouts. I already had the bird cage created, and one I created when I was away in Brisbane, so I only had to do The Scenic Route Layout, of my gorgeous Friend Lauren and her partner Josh, which I loved, but sadly I can't find the photo, will show next time, and the last layouts was for SC 60 minute challenge so here they are.







Thanks heaps.

I am really loving all different types of pattern papers and products at the moment, but one I didn't think that I used much of ummmm.......... I seem to be using it quite a bit, and that is Scenic Route, I am really loving the sunny feel to these papers.


Anyway, here is a layout I did for Aussie Scrap Source using the gorgeous Grafton Range of Scenic Route Products, just loved creating this layout, and I seem to be creating more boy layouts at the moment than girls, but I am loving it.
Have a great weekend.

Well my little "Make and Take" Poll is finished and the Gift box was the most popular, so I will be creating that on my blog in the next couple of weeks so keep you eyes open on what you will need.




Now to show you a couple of layouts for Aussie Scrap Source, The first is using We R Memory Keepers Pewter range of pattern papers and embellishments, which I did of my two boys, it worked really well for boys layouts, especially with distressing.
Then using the Carolee Creations Love Fest Stickers and pattern papers, as well as Jenni Bowlin Bingo Cards and BG embellishments, which was of my two darling children, so it has been very productive, if you want to check out more great layouts go here to the Aussie Scrap Source Blog.
Well just a quick bloggie as it is school holidays, and I need quality time with my kids.

Just a bit of fun

I created this little door hanger using Inque Boutique "Out of this World" Papers and chipboard, for Aussie Scrap Source challenge, and of course for my DS Chaise, he absolutely loved it, and it now has proud of place on his bedroom door. It was so much fun to create, and just a little busy, I used acetate which I stuck to the back of the door hanger and then I stuck cute little 3D Spaceships with some foam mounting tape, and created a little robot from the Inque Boutique Stamp set, gorgeous products.

Inchies


I created these two adorable projects, well I think they are adorable, I absolutely loved doing both of these items for the Aussie Scrap Source Blog, the challenge for the DT was to create something with inchies as the main feature. Inchies are 1inch squares, and you can create little embellishments to attach to these little squares or stamps etc., I did something a little different with the first project, which was a little plaque, the background was created out of the inches, and also the tree and the sun, which I then shaped. I also created the large house with an inch door and window, and also on the heart and the little house, it really is addictive and so much fun, and so very cute, the papers I used were Crate - Sweet Branch Collection.

The second project was done with the left over scraps from the first project lol !! a little gift bag, with cute little embellishments attached.

I am still sorting out my blog, stupid me blew away my counter, since last April I had 65,000 visitors approximately which was pretty amazing for my little blog, so thankyou to everyone who pops in and visits me.
Have a wonderful day.

Just thought I would put a layout up for the weekend, I did this distressed SEI layout, a couple of weeks ago for Aussie Scrap Source, and I love these pretty papers, I created a little mini album which is attached. I distressed the papers, but the layout still has a very fresh feel to it, I also distressed the flowers and 3D them, this would have to be one of my favs at the moment. The photos were taken from our trip to New Zealand last year, at the Hamilton Gardens, are really pretty place.

Have a great weekend.

Another couple of layouts to share. The first one is for the Bo Bunny Blog, the challenge this week was scrapping a recipe, well, I have never photographed my recipes before, something that I will change, it was so much fun. So all I could do was my favourite Winter Warmer which is good old Potato Bake, it would have to be my all time favourite thing, I know slack hey but true. Go and check out the rest of the recipes, there are plenty to choose and they look so yummy, also if you leave a comment you are in the running for a prize, to find out more go and check it out.


The next layout I created was for the Aussie Scrap Source Blog, the challenge was Diecuts, I picked Cosmo Cricket Cogsmo Diecuts and papers, I love this brand I must have made stacks with this line of papers, so here is my little take on Diecuts, again if you want to see more have a peek on their blog.
