Lets Scrap Sketch - 12-14-11

The Christmas Sketch by Let's Scrap was posted.. I just loved the nice lines of this sketch and had to complete it.  I used a range of papers from Bo Bunny and Kaiser to complete this.

The right section opens up for more photos underneath

MIDNIGHT CROP

I recently attended a Midnight Crop and managed to complete 2 layouts.. what fun to sit and scrap non stop for 6 hours.. loved it..

This layout was inspired by Elizna Parsons.. loved her layout and lifted it..  Used the amazing Kaiser range of papers.

This cutie pie is my niece Derryn.

The second layout I managed to complete was of some old Halloween photos.. done a cute Paper Piecing house that I found on Creating keepsakes website. Love how it came out..

M&M IMAGINE THE POSSIBILITIES

I recently attended a fantastic Scrapbooking Class at Paper Squared in Mornington, taught by Rachel.  

This is the layout we created.  I changed it around a bit to suit my photos.  Just love this range by Bo Bunny.

Photos are of me and my best buddy Nutty M.. together we can conquer the world !

Good Beer Week - Challenge 123

This weeks Design Team Challenge over at Let's Scrap is to add memorabilia to your layout. As you all know, I love picking up stuff as I go along.. so this was rather an easy one for me.

I used an older sketch of Let's Scrap for this challenge and used a range of Kaisercraft papers for the page..

I added a Good Beer Week pamphlet and a Beer Deluxe business card that we picked up when we went for a pint in honor of Good Beer Week during our May visit to Melbourne.. was fun. This little pub is in the heart of Federation Square and really rocks ! They have all sorts of beers there.. awesome !

Close up... they have a huge wall full of sayings about beer.. it is so cool to sit and read them all.

More close ups..

to be continued.. lol.. sure hubby will do it again in May 2012.. LOL

Thanks for looking...

Your Carriage Awaits

I have found myself working through some of the older M&M Scrapbooking Adventures kits that I haven't had time to complete yet.

This was a single page created by Nutty M... however, i had too many photos, so extended it onto the right hand page and made a double. I used inspiration from this LETS SCRAP SKETCH to finish the right side.

I have been wanting to scrap these photos for ages and am so glad these papers worked perfectly with them.

These were taken when we were in Melbourne in May, we went to the IMAX theater and on the way back missed the Trams as they all stopped at 9.. LOL.. so we had to walk about 5Km's to the hotel. We started walking but half way were exhausted and then Neville saw the Carriage rides and next thing I know we are clip clopping our way through the busy streets of Melbourne City in the middle of the night with Trams, Busses and Cars all around us.. was scary but so much fun too ! An experience not to be missed.. LOL


Close up of left and right pages.. I just loved the threading of the ribbon with the half moon effect.. was perfect touch to our Moonlit Ride..

More close up shots of the clusters I created...

Thanks for looking !

Home SWEET Home

Moving away from South Africa was very traumatic, especially as I absolutley adored my house. However, God has his reasons, so we upped and moved to Australia this year. We managed to find the cutest little house in Berwick and are so very happy. The area we live in has parks, Dams with fish and ducks, Huge Trees, Walking and Cycling Paths, kiddies gym areas, basketball courts and even picnic areas wherever you look with free gas bbq's to use as you wish.

Within a few 100mt radius you can do so much ... no need to even get into your car. I just love it. These photo's were taken on our first "walk about" our new neighbourhood.. So, as much as I miss my old house.. this is now my new Home SWEET Home..

Layout inspired by this SKETCH at LET's SCRAP and also created using an older KIT by M&M SCRAPBOOKING ADVENTURES.

Closeup of left page.. Check that cool sign.. they have them at all the entrances.. all different ones..

Brenton loves the Dams around our house.. there are ducks and fish everywhere..

Cool Dude

Having done a layout for Klaven recently, I had to follow up and do a special one for Brenton too. These photos were taken in Jeffreys Bay last December when we went on holiday. Brenton decided he wanted to have a "funky" haircut... knowing it would grow out fast, I agreed.. he got a lightning bolt on one side and a start on the other.. with a mohawk in the middle.. was very cute..

I used this SKETCH from LET's SCRAP as a rough guide.

Papers used are from Kaiser.. they worked perfectly.. Just loved the "Addicted to Gaming" circle.. these 3 words sum up Brenton in a nutshell !!

Close up of layout - The 9 on the strip was in the perfect place (pure luck!).. so I just popped a circle around it to make it stand out.. LOL !

Thanks for looking !
