Sarah's Cards Sketch Challenge

The trimmings are all down, OMG what a mess that made, so I've cleaned it all up and can settle into making more cards and catching up with the soaps. Why I didn't discover this sooner I don't know, for the last 6 months I have had a subscription to Sarah's Cards monthly scrapbook kits. They are the most fabulous kits and always chock full of lovely papers and embellies. I love it when that pizza box arrives on my desk every month. Over the Christmas period I found their blog and discovered their monthly sketch challenge. This is my entry for the December challenge. I'm very happy that all of the Christmas photos for this year have been scrapped, only three days into the new year as well. I got the kids to write their wish list on the page for their journaling, so that we can save their writing. I have no idea where the paper came from, it was discovered in my recent clear out, but I thought it was perfect with Santa sitting in the corner with a wish list.

This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with myself. Also on the layout you should spot a lovely voile flower, some tiny pearl flowers and a couple of blossoms made from scallop circle punches. Although the bought flowersand vines are beautiful if you need to use ...

End of Summer Blog Hop

Hello to all you UK Scrappers blog hoppers, hopefully you have arrived from Ifa's blog, I have been a fan of Ifa's clean scrapbooking style, how lovely is that layout.  Well the project I made is another take on what you can do with the vines I featured on the last blog hop. Often you see these things and think 'well they are lovely but what will I do with it'. Scrapbooking supplies are not just for scrapbooking.  I bought a bargain frame from a 'cheap' shop and wanted to add a bit of va va voom to it.I thought it was wood so was going to paint and crackle it,, turning it shabby and planned to give it a vintagey theme. Well that went out the window when I realised it was plastic.   Plan B then, I painted it with Gesso to give it a bit of 'tooth' so that whatever I did would grip. I followed this with a couple of coats of cream paint and sanded the edges. This was followed with a sheet of 12x12 cut down to the same size as each panel and glued ...

You are Here

I have had quite a productive few weeks on the scrapbooking front, there is nothing like a retreat followed closely by national Scrapbooking Day and a few challenges that get your creativity going. I mentioned previously that I was going to Scrapstars and as usual it didn't fail to deliver, it was great to meet up and catch up with everybody. Tracee Provis was one of the teachers, she is such fun and this was one of the layouts she taught.  I loved the fun colours and it was a great opportunity for me to scrap a photo from 37 years ago and my first girls holiday to Jersey. It was also my best friends birthday this week and a milestone birthday deserves a special card. She loves cakes, her garden and bling, luckily I got all of them onto her card.
