Scraphaven class- 1 April

Thanks to the lovely scraphaven ladies who did my class yesterday!

This is the LO we created, using My Little Shoebox papers and Kaisercraft Alphas!

I'm celebrating today- my "Ice Cream freeze" LO won a prize in the March ARTastic challenge! Yay!!

Scrapjacked- March

For this month's Aussie Scrapjacked I once again selected Vicki's LO to scrap lift. I was inspired by the die cut paper she used, the title on its side and the spray of flowers!

This is Vicki's LO that I scrapjacked!

Kraft it Up- March

In honour of our 16th Wedding anniversary I decided to scrap a photo of Steve and I on our wedding day for the March Kraft it Up challenge. You had to use the quote 'there is no greater gift than today", and I thought that was a perfect quote for the photo! I used some Fancy Pants Vintage Valentine papers that are printed on Kraft!

Scrap the Girls- March 2011

This month's Scrap the Girls challenge required you to use one of the "She" quotes by Kobi Yamada as the title & inspiration for the LO. I selected "She colored her thoughts with only the brightest hues" which is so very true for Meg- and used lots of bright colours and fussy cutting (as always!)

The secret is out!

I can now officially announce my exciting news that I have been bursting to tell!

I am delighted to have been selected for the Black with Two Creative Team!

Black with Two challenges will be posted on the 1st and 15th of the month!

Make sure you become a follow and get ready for the first challenge in just under 2 weeks time!

Happily Exhausted!

Wow- what a huge day! Just home from teaching at Scraphaven. Taught 2 LOs this morning and repeated the class again tonight. I had the most people I have ever had book in for one of my classes- and it was lovely to meet some new ladies tonight as well as my highly valued regulars!

These are the 2 classes we did! The "Girl's best friend" was the original class I planned, and then the "Big things grow" class was added at the request of lots of people who wanted to do a "boy" layout!

Yay for me!

Just found an announcement on the Crafty Sketches blog that made me smile!

This layout of Tom and Steven won the February sketch challenge!

ARTastic challenge- March 2011

This month's ARTastic challenge was inspired by the painting "The Circus Horse" by Marc Chagall. For bonus points you had to use bright colours, and animal, at least 3 circles and a horse.

Scrap the Boys- March 2011

Great to see the "Scrap the Boys" blog back up and running this month!

The March challenge was to "Freeze a moment in time"- I decided to scrap this photo of my 2 boys, from our holiday at the beach in January!

If you havent checked out Carol's amazing mixed media kits in her Etsy shop please do- you'll be amazed by the quality and price her creations!

Crafty Sketches- March 2011

This morning I scrapped at Scraphaven and created this Layout using the March Crafty Sketches sketch.

Loved using all the gorgeous Echo Park "Life is good" papers!

This is the sketch the LO is based on- I turned it on its side to suit the orientation of the photos!

Scrap Jacked

I missed out last month- but there was no way I wasnt going to have a go at Scrap Jacked this month!

After much deliberation I decided to "Jack" this gorgeous LO by Vicki!

Tattered Inspiration

Last night I played with my first ever "Tattered Inspirations" Kit and I loved it! Carol- your creativity is amazing! I had so much fun with the kit and this LO came together so quickly becuase everything is so well coordinated in the kit!

Crafty Sketches

This is the first time I have had a go at a Crafty Sketch! I really dug into some old photos for this LO of Tom and Steve!

And this is the sketch it was based on.

Scrap the Girls- February 2011

This month's Scrap the Girls challenge was a sketch challenge! Here is my entry- using some yummy hand made flowers from Marg Oliver!

This is the sketch my LO is based on.

Handmade by Suzanne- Feb Sketch

Whilst I had the photos and paper's out, I create a "doubl-sh" LO for the album by scrapping the individual photos of the kids going back to school, to match the Stuck Sketch challenge. Made sure I featured my 2011 word on the banner too!

I used the Handmade by Suzanne Feb sketch

Stuck?! Sketch... February 2011- #2

Here's my entry for the 2nd Stuck Sketch for February- based on this sketch.

"First Day"- Scraphaven class

Last Friday and today I taught this Layout as a class at Scraphaven! Thanks to all the lovely ladies who took the class- the LO's all turned out fabulous and I hope your Kids and Grandkids loved them! My next class is on Friday 18th March- there is a very girly girl layout- and due to popular demand I'll be spending tomorrow creating a boy version too! Check back here soon for some sneak peaks!

Kraft it Up- February

Whilst I was on a scrapping roll yesterday I completed this layout for the Feb Kraft it up challenge, which this month was a colour challenge- Blue, Orange and Black + kraft.

Stuck?! Sketch... February 2011

And the scrapping drought is broken!! Spent some lovely time yesterday at ScrapHaven and created this LO for the Feb Stuck?! Sketch.

I gave the sketch below a mirror flip to create the layout about the kids getting to meet the hosts of Saturday Disney back in December.
