Challenge # 8 at Scrap Africa

Hi all, welcome back to my blog today, here are the deets for the latest challenge at Scrap Africa!!

Use this poster as inspiration.

You can use this phrase in your project or you can make a LO or a mini-album to tell your story, what was specifically good in that day.

NB! From now on all our challenges and sketches will run for 2 weeks and will come out on the 1st and 15th of each month! Please also remeber that we work on South African time.

So here is what I created for this fun challenge!!!!

I must say I was initially a bit intimidated by this challenge, but once I got into the swing of things I had a ball putting this page together, playing with my lovely Silhouette Cameo, lots of misting and masking!!!

We really would LOVE for you to play along with us. Please stop by the Scrap Africa Blog for more inspiration from our lovely DT girls, and to view the lovely prize up for grabs!!!

Keep well my sweet crafty friends xxx

A day in the sun....

I am still playing myself silly with my Silhouette, it is fantastic what this machine can do!!!!

So while I am in the zone, I decided to create a page for the July sketch over at My Creative Sketches, I thought it was perfect for a series of pool photos I took of my hubby and boys in February this year.

I absolutely LOVE these photos, and can't believe it's taken me so long to scrap them!!! The title, stars and "so cool" speech bubble were all cut with my Silhouette. I used Water Cooler & Powder Blue Mister Huey's Color Mists as well as some Studio Calico patterned paper on my layout, as well as the lovely word stamp which you can see in the right hand corner of the bottom photo. It is from the Ali Edwards "Family Circle" set of stamps. These products were all bought from SCRAPBOOK STUDIO.

Here is the sketch that my layout was based on:

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog again today. I just wanted to say "thank-you" so much for any comments that may be left on my blog, I really do appreciate them so so much. Enjoy the rest of your today, it's a gorgeous one in our neck of the woods :)

June Sketches at My Creative Sketches

Morning from a chilly Dundee. It is lovely Sunday, relaxing at home, eating nice food, crafting kind of weather!! :)

So today I am going to share a layout with you that I created from the June sketch at My Creative Sketches. I must confess, I haven't been this passionate about my scrapping in a long long time, and I am churning out the pages at a rate of knots!!

These photos are taken from when my family visited for the Easter weekend earlier this year.

Most of the product I used on my page is from the "Hello Lucicious" range from Basic Grey.

And here is the sketch that I based my layout on:

This is the first time I am playing along at My Creative Sketches, but I certainly don't think it will be my last, their DT creates stunning layouts!!

And to end off, I just want to share my latest purchase from Scrapbook Studio, I must confess, I am in LOVE, LOVE, LOVE with this new product, and I plan to buy another 6 new colours for my birthday!!

I own 2 other brand of mists, and I have got to say, this is by far a better brand of mist, it sprays on beautifully, and the colours are full and rich on your page! I have already used the white and red on two new layouts, go and get yours HERE, now!! :) Just wait for me to buy mine first, O.K ;)

Enjoy what is left of your weekend, and last week of school holidays for those in S.A.
