Finally almost used up all my lilac ave papers lol only 3 sheets left yay

I did this layout for a challenge from over at http://thestudio.scrapbook-101.com/ I had to use layers and a frame of some sort and to be based on a childhood

OMG Sneak Peak Heaven

I just went on the Kaiserkraft blog there and they have up these sneak peaks of their Q3 ranges and I have got too say I think these could be my faves off all their papers yet, I seriously could not choose one of the six as a favourite they are all just beautiful. They seem to have changed the format of

their releases as previously they released the full 6 ranges straight off , where as this time they are doing 2 each per month which i actually like as it means I'm not off rushing to get them all at same time, though its going to kill me having to wait probably. This is the first Quarter that i have wanted each of the 6 different ranges , honestly i love them all.... Liz get your stock ready, I'm going to be nocking your door on release day lol

Here are the range names and release month

Picture 1 - Made with Love - January release
Picture 2 - Devonshire - February release
Picture 3 - Shaken not stirred - January release
Picture 4 - La Di Da - February release
Picture 5 - Gypsy Sisters - March release
Picture 6 - Peachy Keen - March release

How excited am I , how will I wait for these lol
Happy Scrappin

T'was the night before Christmas

Stole this poem from Sharlene as it's so funny

Twas the night before Christmas, I'm glued to the tree. I'm wondering what Santa brought just for me. Could it be cardstock, or inkpads, or lace? Or some stamps, I said, with a smile on my face. And that's when I heard him ... "Hi Santa, " I said He replied, "You know ... good girls should be in their beds". "I know I should Santa, and now I've been caught. But I was just so excited to see what you brought." "Well, let's take a look in this room where you work". He shook his head quickly, and left with a jerk. I heard him exclaim as he put it in gear. "You've got enough crap, I'll see you next year!"

Baby Girl

here is a layout that i made using this weeks sketch from http://sketchythursdays.blogspot.com/ I actually found this very hard to do with all the white space, but i think it turned out all right in the end.

Bored

Gary took this picture of Lucy one night while we were waiting on her milk heating. I love her facial expression she just looks soooooooooo bored, if she could of spoke she would have been saying, come on mum wheres my milk lol

U and I

I absolutely love this picture of Lucy and I, This was taken last June while we were in Florida getting married. We had just came of the tea cups and Universal , Lucy just loved the tea cups.

Friends forever

Here is a layout i worked on last night, i used a sketch from over at sketch inspiration for this one(thanks Trisha) It is a picture of my friend Fiona and me at my leaving party, isn't it lovely.

Anyway Fee Fee I know I'm over in NZ and your still in Scotland but I'm always thinking of you, and remember I'm always here for you. Love you Mrs xx

Round Robin

Here is another layout i worked on last night, I really love this one. This was done for part of a round robin challenge over at scrapbook challenges and was lots of fun.

I took Lucy shopping one day and we ended up visiting Santa, how funny she had red and white on , Santa told her your wearing my favourite colours lol. Was a wee shame she didn't know what was going on . isn't she amazing

Summer Launch Night

Well I made it over to a friends Stampin up Workshop last night for a launch of the summer mini that just came out on Dec 1st. I had a really fab night and made some cool stuff oh yea and bought some cool stuff too. Though I must add that I was really good and stuck to what I had to spend in my purse and not a cent more. The good this is there is 3 months to buy everything in it that I would love. Think I may have to have that awesome circle cutter, wow so easy to use. Any way i bought 2 lovely packs of buttons , some sweet treat cups and a white pen for highlighting some of my layouts (the sweet treats are used in the friendship card in the picture and I am looking forward to using them). Anyway if you like what we made last night you have to go look at Sharlene's blog , her stuff is just fab http://www.stampwithsharlene.blogspot.com/

Got to say hi to the nice ladies I met too , was lovely meeting you and I'm sure I shall see you at stamp club soon

Happy Scrappin

Angel of Mine

Well My parcel from Liz over at http://www.artfullcrafts.co.nz/ finally arrived yesterday so I got working on a layout using the fab Lilac Avenue range from Kaiserkraft straight away. Got to say I love the 6x6 pads that they are doing now, this is what I used for my title and it saved me having to cut up a 12x12 just for the title. I can see lots of layout getting made from this range. Hope you like it Liz.

Happy scrapping

Our tree 06

Here is a layout I just worked on today, It was a quickie as I was just using up the last sheet from the pack i used for my star wreath and the scraps that were left

Enjoy

Star wreath all finished

Well here it is all finished. To be honest I'm not that impressed with it, It was a nightmare to do and really annoying.I say this as I had it all set out looking great and then I had to glue the stars down on to wreath base, this is where it went wrong. Once they were stuck I couldn't jig them about so it's not really in a circle as it probably should be.

Anyway enjoy!!

Star Wreath

Here is a few pictures to show you an out of the page project I am working on from kaiserkraft. The pictures are of how it first looked when i started.A picture of how it looked once painted. The final picture is of how it looks right now covered in Patterned paper. When i finish it I will take pictures of it completed.

Happy Holidays

Here is a layout I made for a challenge over at scrapbook challenges, This one was an scrap lift so all I had to do was do same layout as the lady who gave us the challenge, easy as.....

Mines is a layout using a picture from Lucy's 1st Christmas

Happy Scrapping

So Very Clever

Here is a layout with a picture of Lucy feeding herself for the very first time ever.It was such a laugh me running around trying to get a camera before she let go of the bottle, I was meant to be a scrapper lol the amount of pictures I have taken, If only i had the time to scrap them all lol.Never mind I'm sure one

day I shall be up to date...or not

Scrap space

Here is the little corner of our living room that i create all my layouts. it always looks this tidy as i like organisation, I find it easier to work when its tidy as i know where everything is and don't have to search etc. The only time it is a mess is while i make a layout but it all gets tidied away before i start on the next one. I did have alot more materials than this but I just sold of lots of my old bits and bobs that weren't getting used, you know stickers that you use half off etc, as we are moving i didn't see the point in taking all the rubbish with me. I used to work on the dining table but found it a pain having to clear it away all the time. Since i bought this wee fold away table I have found i scrapbook more as everything is there I don't need to get everything out before i start etc. Once I am in the new house I will have my own scrap booking room so will be really cool. I will get nice shelving etc for all the things to get organised better than they are now. This will give me more space to work on as everything wont be sitting on my work space. Anyway hope you like my workspace, it suits me for now .

Santa's Grotto

Here is a layout i have been working on recently. I made this layout using my happily ever after cartridge from my cricut, and lots of stampin up paper.Sorry that its not a great picture of it , I can never get lighting right . I am going to enter this one into a Christmas challenge over at craftykats to win lots of christmas goodiesI hope.

Enjoy

Relax

Well here is the 2nd layout from the sketch challenge.

Enjoy!

Shark attack

Here is the 1st of 3 layouts to be completed as part of http://www.scrapsketch.com/ Monday layout sketches. I better get a move on as they due another sketch out today yikes

Well here is the first one finished , I used my gypsy to cut out the circle and letters. What I love is that you can design your layout on the one screen without having to go back and forth changing cartridges etc so very handy if you doing fonts and pictures etc

Gypsy has arrived

Well as the title tells you , it arrived in the mail this morning, I am very excited i must say.

I have loaded the updates and all of my cartridges now i have to learn how to use it lol, Had a look around it but lost lol so I'm away to read the online manual before i try it out for real

wish me luck

Tranquil

Here is the next sketch I am going to play from, looks a good one. Probably wont get this done until end of the week though as a busy couple of days (sooner if I can help it lol) I got this sketch from http://thescrappiest.blogspot.com/ .I'm becoming a sketchaholic lol but they really do help ,though mine never turn out the same as the sketches but then i guess that's what its all about.

Happy scrapping

Ok here is my version of the sketch, I didn't do the circle though sorry. I used my new gypsy to cut out the title.

Enjoy
