MERRY CHRISTMAS

Hello. Merry Christmas to all my fellow bloggers. Hope 2008 brings you all happiness and good fortune.

Thought I'd share a christmas layout completed with my Decembers Studio Calico Kit

Look at these hats

Its saturday challenge time again on scrummy stash cafe blog. Vanessa designed a sketch to follow.............I did my usual trick and came up with something that doesnt resemble sketch, but hey ho!!! My brother does look very silly with that hat on.

I'm now off til 2nd of January so hopefully will get lots of scrapping done and hopefully santa will bring a new camera which is fool proof.

Rip up Your Stash

Happy Saturday!!!!



Today see Vanessa's Challenge on the Scrummy Stash Cafe Blog. Why do you pop over and see the fabulous designs the team has produced................and have a go you could win an E voucher worth £10.00 to spend on lovely stash



In my example I have use the papers and cardstock from the Out and About (no.2)Kit from Scrummy Stash Cafe..................gorgeous papers I've enjoyed working with them. The photographs are James in Infant School, he was kind of cute!!!!. I want to record this time of his life, so I added his teachers names, as this is the sort of thing we'll forget in later life.

Sheer Bliss

Yesterday saw another challenge up on the Scrummy Stash Cafe blog, to use material on layout/card. I use a scrap of pink velvet and heres my example completed with papers from the MME Bliss scrapbook kit from Scrummy Stash Cafe. I love working with these papers, so hopefully more layouts to come

New Scrummy Kits

My new design team kits have arrived from Maria at the Scrummy Stash Cafe and they are so scrummy. Theres two new kits with My Minds Eye papers, Bliss and Out and About. I havent used these papers before and was so impressed with their quality.

I been playing with both kits and heres my first layout with Out and About. These photos were taken on a day trip to Forbidden Corner, in the summer, kids had a great day out.

Hopefully will have some more layouts to show over the weekend

Long Time No See

I havent blogged for awhile. Been busy working and catching up on circle journal commitments, but all up to date now, so can play. Received Studio Calico kit a couple of weeks ago and just managed to have a look at this week, its a lovely kit was really impressed with it. Heres the layout I completed based on pencilline sketch #60........this is a photo my brother took of his self at a recent wedding. They had cameras on all the tables so he went around and took his photo on every camera. This was funny cos the bride and groom didnt realise til the photos had been developed, they'll never forget he was there.

Masterchef Final Entry

This class was completed with a kit supplied by Caroline for a mini cyber crop on Sprinkle's Blog

Heres the class
Instructions for “Mum…………….I love you” Layout

Used kit supplied by Caroline

Ingredients

12 x12 black cardstock
12 x 12 orange cardstock
12x 6 green cardstock
12 x 6 patterned paper – small spots, large spots and pink with flowers
2 ribbons – pink and spotty
3 orange buttons

Additional items used

7x5 photograph
Foam and rubber alpha stamps
Black ink
White embroidery and needle
Stapler
Basic tools

1. Firstly attach 12x6 patterned paper (small spotty) to centre of the 12x12 black cardstock running horizontally. Draw a wavy line in pencil around the edge of layout to form a border, pierce along the line and stitch in back stitch with 3 strands of embroidery thread.
2. Then attach two strips of green cardstock cut on an angle to the top and bottom of the small dot patterned paper, also attach photograph at a slight angle to patterned paper. Draw an outline to edge of green strips and add spotty ribbon to top strip.
3. Take large spot patterned paper and cut approx…………… strip with wavy edge. Attach this to bottom of pattern paper overlapping green card stock.
4. Create an arrow from orange cardstock – I drew around a tea plate and dinner plate to create a ring and cut out, then cut ring short at on end and attached a triangle cut from orange card - Draw faux stitch around arrow and add to layout.
5. Use 3 of the tags from tag sheet and attach plain pink ribbon with staples, arrange these on left hand side of layout slightly overlapping photo. Cut three flowers from patterned paper and attach to layout with buttons.
6. Finally using large foam stamps to stamp, in black ink on orange card, the title “MUM” in individually squares, draw around edge and add to layout. Then stamp the “I love you” on to arrow and attach gems to the edge of the large spot paper.

I'd love you to complete this clas and leave a link so I can check it out, thanks

Eventually after a Busy Week

Its seems awhile since I've blogged. Its been a busy old week. Firstly eventually finished a layout for scrummy stash cafe using the Junkitz-Flowerful Kit see it here

HOORAY, through to final of masterchef challenge.

The next challenge is to do a class with kit provided, to be uploaded to sprinkles blog on 6th October. Its TOP SECRET until then. Will post class here also.

Eventually I have completed the LO, I started at the Morpeth crop on Saturday, its waited on my desk longing for a title at long last inspiration struck. It was completed with the guidance of Maria and using a kit supplied by "Scrummy Stash Cafe" I love these Cherry Arte "princess papers" using my Cricut "All Mixed up" for Title and lots of hand stitching. The photo was taken in Ibiza when we had a girlie weekend in June, we all left the kids and men at home. We spent the weekend lazying on the beach, drinking cocktails and partying. Lots of FUN was had by all

HOORAY!!! just found out I've got through to the next round of the Masterchef challenge, I'm so pleased as I struggled with this entry. Hopefully the next round will be better, I need to make a minibook, the good thing I can use any stash I like.

Vanessa has joined the "Scrummy Stash Cafe" design team, Welcome on board. You can have a look at her work here on her blog.

Hoping to get some design team stuff done this week..........as there are new kits on the horizon.

Maria just uploaded a SEI kit to site yesterday, and heres a layout I did with it awhile ago. Its a great kit at a amazing price. See it here

Just uploaded round 4 entry for Masterchef Challenge, this was a complete nightmare. Firstly the requirements for this was "only use plain cardstock and basic tool kit", so I struggled with this one was longing to use glitter, chipboard and gems. Well eventually got this finished to find printer/scanner not working, so decided to photograph entry instead, but couldnt find usb cable for camera. Therefore had to spend a hour hunting down old camera, to put memory card in and upload from there. What nightmare!

Hi
This is my first post. I've had this blog for awhile but have been a bit scared to post on it..........but here goes.

Heres a photo recently taken at Forbidden Corner, in Yorkshire. It was a lovely sunny day and the kids loved running around and exploring. I recommend it as a great day out.
