Guest designer at Scrapbook Savvy

 I finally got my Merry Savvy Traditional kit to play with last week. There is one left here at Scrapbook Savvy

I strugged a bit with the colours at first but managed to do 4 layouts out of it in under 24 hours and I still has some scraps left over.

Biggest loser at Scrapz.biz

 I am taking part in the Biggest Loser at Scrapz.biz
The first mission was to tidy your scrap desk and create a simple layout from the sketch provided. Here is my layout and the hidden journalling which I had to include. Couldn't leave a title like that without any explanation.

I used some old Pink Paislee ranges on this one.

For mission 2 we had to arrange our cardstock. This I already had done and then produce a layout using cardstock as the base of a sketch provided. I challenged myself to use some coloured cardstock as I very rarely use it now and again use up some old pp. This time I used some Kaisercraft.

For the 3rd mission we had to go through our patterned paper and divide into keep and throw out or donate. I couldn't bear to do this. I am such a hoarder and always think I might need it.

The challenge was to scraplift one of your own layouts. I decided to scraplift this one from last year http://judith-pagesofmemories.blogspot.com.au/2011/05/scrapbooking-top-50-layouts.html

and again used up some old pp, this time from Sass Lass.

Scrap the Boy January challenge

I decided to have a go at the January challenge at Scrap the Boys too. The criteria was to scrap a page of what your boy enjoys doing the summer holidays.

We try to get down to the beach a few times and DS enjoys mucking about in the sand - whether its digging, building or burying various parts of himself. These photos were taken on New Years Eve when we went down to Point Roadknight near Anglesea.

Scrap the Boys December challenge

I would like to start by wishing all my followers a Happy New Year and hope you had a wonderful Christmas.

I finished this one for Scrap the Boys December challenge a few days ago. The challenge was a colour one to use - red, white, blue and green, plus a xmas theme and one or two photos. I dug through my collection and found these ones of DS when he was in Prep (10 years ago!). I used some Echo Park pp and Bo Bunny Blast Off and some embellishments I got from my Secret Santa over at ScrapzBiz. I also included a Purple Pumpkin spotty button.

Scrapbook Savvy challenges

 Here are a few layouts I have done for challenges over at Scrapbook Savvy. First up is one I did for the November kit challenge. The criteria was to use fussy cutting, inking and dimension. I used the We Savvy kit. I won a guest designer kit and will get the Savvy Traditional Kit to have a play with and produce some pages.

This one is for Andrea's December sketch challenge.

And this one is for Sara's December Wordy challenge, which is to use either the word man or woman on the layout.

 

I had also done Kerryn's Manufacturer challenge, which was to used Lily Bee and layering but my layout got picked up by Scrapbooking Memories so I can't show it.

Purple Pumpkin Dec challenge

 This month's challenge at Purple Pumpkin was to do a layout using this sketch.

Here is my version using some photos of DD with Tweetie Pie at Movieworld on our recent holiday to the Gold Coast. I have used a Tweetie button, birdie button and spotty button along with some tickets and a satin flower from Purple Pumpkin.

Some layouts from last month

I was a bit slack last month uploading pages I had scrapped. Here are the one's I didn't get around to showing you.

First up is one for the Scrapbooking Top 50 Cyber crop. The criteria was to include a photo with an animal in and some chipboard.

This one was for Sara's Wordy challenge over at Scrapbook Savvy. The criteria was to include the name of the person in the photo in the title or journalling. I couldn't resist scrapping a photo of my new great nephew Curtis.

These last 3 were for the daily challenges over at Scrapz.biz. The theme for these 3 were Encounters with the wild.
