Puppy Feet

I know .... two post in as many days .... I'm as shocked as you are!!!

I just wanted to show you my take on the sketch challenge from over at Challenge Heaven, it's a new challenge site that my friend Danielle put me on to. Each month they have several different challenges, including sketch, colour and theme challenges. If you're looking for some inspiration pop on over and have a look.

Anyway, as promised, here's my take. It's a bit simpler than I would normally do but I'm rather pleased with it.

This is a close up, I used some brown fabric I had, the lace Websters and the paper matting the photo is Basic Grey. The black card stock is Co'dinations ... I just love how it looks rubbed back!

The title has been cut from Cricut chipboard (now theres a surprise) using the Winne the Pooh font and then I sprayed it with Glimmer Mist "Jack O'Lantern".

Well, that's all for now.

Until next time,

Portrait of the Past

I recently received a disk of photo's from my parents and on it were several old photos of my dad's family. This is a page I did on Friday at the crop at Inspired Crafts, using a photo of my Dad's Grandfather, Bill Frank.


I love the way they used to take photos of people walking down the street.

As soon as I saw this picture I immediately thought of this Graphic 45 paper, it's from the "Perfect Gentlemen" range. The chipboard clock is from Dusty Attic.


The font I used was Cricut "Blackletter" cut from Cricut chipboard and then inked and then embossed through the Cuttlebug.


Well, that's all for now, thanks for stopping by.

Until next time,

Small Things

I should warn you that there are bound to be a lot of "house" themed layouts over the next few months as we progress through the build. The following layout is one I've been working on over the past week.

Here's a close up...

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

Woo hoo ... another post!

Wow! Two posts in one day, the blog fairies must be in a good mood!

When I was on holiday the week after Easter I spent a day scrapping with Peta, and this is what I came up with. It is a photo of my cat Snuggles, he's British Blue Birman cross and I have very few good photo's of him 'cos normally when I line up the camera on him he gives me "angry ears".

This layout turned out rather simple, but I still like it. I couldn't resist putting the collections bird on the top. The bird was sprayed with Glimmermist "Sapphire" and "Suede" and then run through the cuttlebug embossing folder.

The title is cut from Cricut chipboard using the "Mickey" font, sprayed with Glimmermist "Sapphire" and then embossed.

The following layout is one I did a little while ago, it's a picture of Phil & Shep standing on our block .... can't wait for the building to start.

The paper is Basic Grey, an I just love the collections chipboard fence.

The clouds are from cut using the "Paper Pups" cartridge ... aren't they cute.

Alright, that's all I have for you at the moment.

Thanks for dropping by.

Last week it was mine and Phil's 15th Wedding Anniversary so I got all inspired to scrap this wedding photo.

I used one of the new papers from the Prima "Pastiche Collection" call "Quirky", and those butterflies just screamed to be cut out and lifted up with scrap-dots.

I made the pearl swirls using the a bazzil stitching guide, and Kaiser pearls (thanks to Peta for that idea)

Well that's all for now, thanks for stopping by.

Until next time,

I think I found it again!

Last year I lost my scrapping mojo and since then I've been struggling to do anything but just of late I feel like it's coming back. It's not that I'm creating masterpieces, more that I've found my love of scrapping again.

The following pic's are of a layout I started a few weeks ago when I went to a Friday scrap night at the new scrapbooking store in Cannington. I've been trying to put these pic's up on the blog for the past week but my blog seems to be a tad temperamental and it wouldn't let me until finally this morning it gave in to my persistence!

The picture I've used is one of me which Phil took a few years ago. The beautiful paper I've used is one from the latest range from Prima, isn't it yummy!

These beautiful gates are from Dusty Attic while the tree was cut from black Cricut chipboard using the new Cricut Heritage cartridge. I sprayed both the tree and the gate with Tattered Angels "Suede" Glimmermist.

Well, that's all for today, I brought a pile of the lovely new Websters Pages a couple weeks ago and I'm dying to have a play .... hopefully I'll get a chance tomorrow.

Until next time, thanks for dropping by.

Anyone feel like a challenge?

Sometime towards the end of last year my scrapping mojo ran away and ever since I've been looking for it, so I decided to give the sketch challenge over at Anna's Craft Cupboard a try, and you know, I'm rather pleased with the results! Oh don't get me wrong, it's not going to be winning any prizes anytime soon, but I had fun doing it, and that was the most important part.

Anyway, enough of my ramblings, here's a pic.

It was great, I used up some old Basic Grey papers and some scraps that I had sitting around and I also got to use a picture I'd had for a while of my husband, Phil, his brother Bruce and Father Colin on the day of Bruce's wedding back in May 2008.

The title was cut using Platin Schoolbook on my Gypsy, and to get the thickness in the letters I cut them out of black Cricut chipboard twice and stuck them together using a small Xyron sticker maker. I thin cut the title out of the colour Bazzil that I needed. The circle was also cut using the Gypsy, I think by memory the circle was from "Gypsy Font".

We'll, that's all for now, hopefully I can put some more pic's up soon. But in the mean time, if you feel like a challenge pop on over to Anna's and have a go at the sketch challenge, it's a great way to think outside the box.

Until next time,
