FEB Cyber Crop Layouts from Scrapping Around

These are the layouts I got completed for the Cyber Crop at Scrapping Around this time. I just haven't been well for the past 2 weeks and at this stage we have no idea what is wrong. But I can tell you that 3 blood tests in one week is just 3 blood tests too many.

Challenge #3 - LOVE / HAPPINESS This is a photo of Charlotte, Samantha and I that Rob took on Christmas day. It does remind me about how much fun the 3 of us girls can have together. and thats what the journalling is all about. I used rubons on the ribbon for an added touch of journalling.

The end of 2008

OK its the last day of the year and here I am thinking of some goals for my own scrapping for 2009.

My goals need to be realistic and need to include my DT work for Scrapping Around, but I also want to challenge myself a little if I can.

So this is what I would like to achive for my personal goals :-

Layouts:- 1 a week so thats 52 for the year

Cards:- 1 a week so again thats 52 (for family and friends)

OTP'S:- Create 1 a month so thats 12 for 2009

Photos :- Take atleast 1 photo a week of something different. Now for me this isnt an easy one but I think its achivable. By different I mean something that catches my eye or even a new purchase for our home.

Scrap my stash before I buy new items...now thats going to be a tough one what with all the new products around.

I also want to learn how to use Paintshop elements 3 better.

Submit layouts to a few blogs and maybe a few mags just to see how I go.

Be a better blogger...been good so far butr hey we all know how time can slip by when things in RL happen.

Here are just a few items I have finished over the last few days of 2008 that I thought I should share with you all.

1st Christmas

This is the layout I created over the last 2 days of Isacc's 1st Santa photo.

I have used:-White Bazzill cardstock
Black gel pen
Rainbow Kindy Glitz
Dimentional Magic
Silver Rhinestones - Kaiser
Christmas tree and word chipboard from Crafty Originals.
1st chipboard alphas from American Crafts
Christmas Spirit - JOLLY paper
Christmas Spirit JOYFUL paper from Kaisercrafts

I cut the baubles out and used Scrapdots to 3D them.I ran the chipboar through my Xyron machine before I inked and DMed them. I left it on the adhesive backing to dry which I found pretty easy and saved making more mess on my craft matt.
On the Christmas tree and word I used Stampin' up! inks they were Old Olive for the tree and Blue Bayou for the word. Then I coated the whole lot with DM and added a little Rainbow Kindy Glitz to the tree once it was dry.
1st apha number and letters just had a little Rainbow Kindy Glitz added.
With my black gel pen I just doodled around the photo and on the sides of the paper.

I realised earlier while reading my own posts, that I hadn't shared photos of Sam and I decorating the tree the day before she was due to give birth..........

so here it is.And here is the finished tree lights and all. I so loveeee my angel lights mind you there are 4 sets on the tree. LOL

A little share from me

Hi to all that read my blog, it's been a week or so since I last posted so thought I would share 2 of my layouts that I created as part of my DT commitments for Scrapping Around.
Vegemite Girl was inspired by the photos and ofcourse the label on the Vegemite jar.
Baby Girl allowed me to play with acetate for the 1st time. It's a pretty basic layout but the punched out acetate circles and flowers popped up with some scrap dots does give the layout a bit of omph I think.

Thanks for visiting and until next time stay safe and happy scrappin to you all.

Just sharing a couple of Layouts and an Idea

Layout Share for this week.
A moment in time is the layout I created about 2 weeks ago now for our weekly challenge the chalenge was to use doodling on your page.
I used A TLC runway kit called Tressie circles Kit but i changed the cardstock background colour as the blue was a bit too bright for my liking.



100% Boy
This Layout was created as part of the last weekends CC at Scrapping Around. It was a blind step -by-step challenge and was a whole lot of fun. I did have a few fears of it not working out as I knew this was the photo I wanted to use and these were the papers and colours. But you know not seeing what it might have looked like till after the steps were done does give one something to think about.

I used the following items on this Layout:-
Kaiser paper:- Lone Ranger collection - Shotgun P1283 5cm paper flowers in Taupe from green taraKaiser Rubons -Seals SB549100% boy chipboard word from ScrapletsStonewash Bazzill cardstock2 TLC heart stickers.Grungeboard Elements Stipes - Heart3D Kindy Glitz - Slick White on centres of flowerKidy Glitz - Crystalina on flower petals and Grungeboard heart.
For more great layouts from this challenge check out the gallery album.

Love me, Love my cat.
Monochomatic Orange well thats a colour I dont use much of at all. Not sure why as it isn't a colour I dont like. But our cat is ginger and these photos are 12mths old and were waiting in line nicely to be scrapped.

I have used:- Bazzill Apricot CS.
TLC Orange Thin Strip paper
Orange Butterflies Flozz Felt from KaiserCRAFT
Bella chipboard letters
2 Cream flowers from Green Tara that I inked Orange.
Mod podge sparkle on the chipboard letters.
Some Orange Dome stickers from my stash.

Besides the dome stickers you will find all the other products at Scrapping Around.
101 uses for a paper towel holder???
Well no not really but here is another use for one LOL. I saw this on scrapbook clubhouse and thought what a cool idea I will adapt that to my own needs and as we all know those Clip It storage ideas are fantastic but not something I would want to spend heaps on. I would rather by more paper and cardstock so I can scrap. This little beauty costed a total of $10.00 once you add the cost of the coloured cardboard I bought. Now I just went to the newsagent and bought a few thick sheets that I liked. But you can use chipboard if you have it on hand, and I am sure there would be other things you can think of to use. These inserts do help the A4 protector sheets stay upright.

So far I have 30 Protector sheets with plenty of room to add more as you can see.
