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!!

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 .

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

4 generations


This picture means alot as it is the only one I have with the 4 of us in one together. Baby Lucy, mum, gran and supergran ahhhhh

Kid at heart


I love this picture of Lucy and the wee cheeky face she is pulling

I cased this from the Q1 Kaisercraft magazine as I just loved the layout, Its not 100% exact but close enough. I just added my own wee touches, I.e the brad on the ribbon flower is not a brad from the collection as I didn't have any.It is a plain white brad with a circle cut out from the child's play papers to fit it. anyway I hope you love this layout as much as I do

Mix and Match


This is a picture taken of Lucy in the garden.

This layout was made using old scraps left from some Kaisercraft papers and diamante's , felt buttons, ribbons and flowers, Oh and of course my cricut. I absolutely love this layout i just think it is different.

Love


When we first moved into this rental we bought deckchairs to use in the lounge as we were waiting on our container coming over from the UK. This is a picture of how Lucy sat on it.

This layout is made using all kaisercraft papers and rub-ons ( I totally cased this out of the Q1 magazine as i loved the design)

Ngamoto beach


This is a layout using pictures of Lucy at the beach last summer, she had a ball.

Layout made using Kaisercraft papers and my cricut.

Raincoat


This is Lucy wearing a cute raincoat and Wellies(gumboots) set that her auntie Lainy bough her for her birthday last year.I actually took these pictures as my godmother wanted some pics of the back of raincoat.

Layout done using Kaisercraft papers and my cricut

Making Waves




Here is a layout i made using pictures from a day at the pool down the road from us. Look at the picture of the fish, how cool are the bubbles. I made them using crystal effects from Stampin Up.

Discovery Cove - Florida




Here are 2 layouts I made using pictures from our holiday in Florida last year. We had a fabulous day out at discovery cove and it was definitely well worth the money. The only downfall was that Lucy was too young to swim with the dolphins but atleast they let her in after our swim to get a kiss from them. She had a ball.

Pretty in Pink




This is a picture of Lucy playing with her magnets, I love this wee outfit but of course she has outgrown it :( I made this layout using my Cricut, I love this machine.
I uploaded this layout for the sketch http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com/search/label/1%20photo. Dont you think it suits it perfectly.


Sunny Days


Here are 2 more layouts I made, though I don't know if I actually like the papers I used here.Don't ask me why as I don't know lol.
these are lots of pics taken on Easter of this year

Wonderful daughter


This is a double layout i done at a friends house last month using the fabulous Parisian breeze designer papers from Stampin Up, I love them. I also love the buttons I used on it, in fact I have used a full pack already and have just bought another. I just love the colours


The pictures are just random pictures I had of Lucy out and about in Inglewood that I put together

So Cute


These are 2 layouts I made recently. The one on the left is from pictures we took of Lucy last summer during a picnic at this lovely spot 5 minutes drive from us. I love the picture of Lucy spinning around and have wanted to scrapbook this for ages. The pic on the right is from our Florida pictures, one where she had her face painted at animal kingdom and the other was off her fast asleep in our limo after we got married
Both pages are using all Stampin Up products

One of a Kind


Here are 2 layouts I worked on at stampin up workshops. The one on the left is a layout using pictures from our fantastic day swimming with dolphins last year in Florida


The one on the right is a Picture of me and my supergran, it was taken during my leaving party last Nov, she truly is one of a kind, love you gran xx
