Pencillines sketch #75

Saturday.......Hooray

Dont Saturdays come round quickly!

Well heres another example for the scrummy blog challenge. This week see Theresa challenge us to uae foam. Well went in search of my funky foam and could I find it, No. So pop to shop and bought some ( what a nightmare as I'm sure everyone has some lurking around somewhere), think I went a little over the top with it, but whatever.

I have use the French Twist card making kit, but unfortunatley its sold out

I dont feel very creative at the moment.............Off to Morpeth this afternoon to catch up with the girls hopefully Maria's class will inspire me and I may have something to share by this evening

Buttons, buttons and more buttons

Its been a difficult week this week, as I attend a fellow scrapper and good friend Ann Power's funeral on Thursday. She was a remarkable woman and she touched so many peoples lives, I'm so glad to have known this Great woman. The Scrummy Design Team has decided to Run, Walk or Crawl the Race for Life on the 13th July in her memory, so any spare pennies will be greatly received for this wonderful charity.

Its Saturday..............that means a new Scrummy Blog Challenge. Today challenge to use buttons on your creations was set by Vanessa. Checkout the Scrummy Blog to see the details and to see what the design team has created. This week I have used this fun photo of James, he always give that cheeky grin whenever the camera was out..........such a poser!! I used a sketch from my favourite book of the moment Designing with Recipes book, this book is fab and brimming with ideas and sketch. The patterned paper and buttons are from the Chalk Garden Kit which is now reduced to a ridiculous price to make way for new kits...........watch this space

Happy Birthday to me!!!

Its my turn to set the scrummy challenge on the blog......................I challenge you to use a number(s) on layout or card. Heres my exaple using french twist papers and designing with recipe book............I especially love this book full of excellent ideas and lots of great sketches.

also been playing with Out and About kit..............and I love this layout of Anna

Love is in the air

Hopes and Dreams

I have been playing with studic calico kit. Thought I'd make a start on James book. I also linked it to Elsie challenge 2/52 to focus on a photograph. The journalling reads :

remember those who love you

believe in something larger than yourself

be strong

may your dreams come true

do the impossible

have courage

listen to your heart

think big

make a difference

love much and

laugh often

Eventually

Eventually got my New Year layout uploaded.............I'vecombined the Scrummy Challenge to use ribbons and the Elsie challenge 3 use a ribbon border, as I've had limited time to complete challenge at the moment but things are looking better for next few weeks so hopefully will catch up on all the Elsie challenges soon.

I've completed this layout using Junkitz "flowerful kit" from Scrummy Stash Cafe, left over ribbons from other Scrummy Kits and lots of doodling. The journalling reads: 2008...This year I want to be more positive about things and grab all opportunities with both hands.

What a STAR!!!

Managed to find time in my busy work schedule, to do entry for my challenge on scrummy blog , which is to use three or more pieces of chipboard. Actually didnt take to long, It was one of those layout that just fell together.....and I love it!!!

I used Metropolis papers from Scenic Route, some left over ribbon from a Scrummy Kit, Scenic Route chipboard letters, some chipboard stars from Heidi Swapp, a Blonde Moment star stamp and brads from my stash and lots of doodling

Sorry................last weeks challenge example

I'm really sorry this is late.............been extremely busy at work and not had much time for scrapping or blogging

This example was for Sam's brad pitt challenge. I have used french twist papers, which could well be the new Scrummy Card Kit, these papers are gorgeous colours ideal for your spring projects.

Happy New Year

Well as 2007 is over and 2008 start I've been thinking about what I want to acheive this year, I'm determinded to have much more positive approach to things this year. Thinking back to 2007 it wasnt such a bad year, just a few upsets towards end of the year, the rest of the year was fill with much happiness and laughter and hopefully that will continue throughout this year.

Hopefully will get a 2008 layout completed this weekend. So watch this space.

Meanwhile heres a layout I completed with the Seeds kit from Scrummy Stash Cafe, unfortunately this kit is sold out.
