Challenge!!

Hi there,
I know what you are thinking and the answer is No.  I am not surrounded by an avalanche of tinsel!!  Then what possible reason do you have for not posting a blog, I hear you ask!!  I have been very slack, I know, but I think I have found a solution to my scrapping block.  I have just received my lastest pack as DT member of Hobbysew Echuca and in it was some gorgeous papers from Kaisercrafts soon to be released range called "Hummingbird".  I am very lucky to get hold of this beautiful range before they have been released!!  What is the challenge in that I hear you ask (you are very vocal today, aren't you!!).  That is not the challenge,  the challenge for me was what was also in the pack............. a chipboard album!!!!  Now I have an admission to make....... I have only done one Off the page project before.  I am a single and double LO girl only so this will be a challenge.   I have had quite a few ideas but I think I have decided what I want to do with it so stay tuned.....it could be very interesting......

Happy scrapping,

Imagine

Hi
I love it when I see my children using their imagination.  They really do see things differently to adults, and it teaches me to think outside the box.  This is something that is great to do when scrapping as sometimes the most amazing LO's are created when you try a new technique or use supplies in a way you haven't used them before!!  I have called this LO "Imagine" as it shows my son using his imagination to dress up as an elephant!!  It was very cute and involved socks, a dorothy the dinosaur tail and a cap!!  The papers and elements that I used were from Bo Bunny's Ad-Lib range which are quite whimsical and I felt they really suited the theme of this LO!! 

Happy Scrapping,

OMG!

I can't believe it has been over two months since I have scrapped and therefore posted a blog!!!  My mojo has well and truly been absent!!  I think a combination of sick kids, a husband having been away and a toddler who decided that 4.30am was a good time to wake up every morning was enough for my mojo to say adios!!  Anyhow, hubby is home now and all kids are well and sleeping better (until daylight savings starts that is!!) so hopefully I can sneak some scraping time and try and get some inspiration happening.....might need to check out some new supplies, that always helps!!!!

Here are two LO's I had completed but hadn't got around to posting.  Let me know what you think!

Happy Scrapping!

3 days old

Hi there

I have just finished a double LO of my beautiful little boy Hamish when he was 3 days old.  This LO highlights one of the things that I love about scrapbooking.  It really creates momentos for us all to look back on in years to come.  Hamish is nearly 18 months old now and when I was doing this LO I couldn't believe how much he has grown!  He was so small and now he is a very busy and robust little boy.  The time really does fly, especially when everyone is so busy.  It will be nice in years to come for him to look back and see how much he has grown!

Happy scrapping,

1st wheels

Hi there


After having a bit more of a play around with the Kaisercraft "Toot Toot" papers and embellishments I came up with the single page LO "1st wheels". This layout is of my son who broke his leg and was in a wheelchair for 6 weeks.  Although I am not a fan of my own handwriting, I feel it is very important to include journalling about the stories behind the photos.  In the past I have used Microsoft Word to record my journalling and then printed this off.  I don't do that as much anymore as handwriting does make the LO more personal and it is another momento for future generations to observe.  It is a lot quicker as well!!!



Happy Scrapping,

Toot Toot

Hi

I have just completed a single page LO from my DT package (I know amazing, considering it is school holidays!!!)  It is using the "toot toot" range from Kaisercraft and I've also used a crane chipboard cut out that was also in the package.  I love the colours of this range, they can be either brightened up or muted down, depending on what you put them with.  As you can see I have used a lot of earthy colours as the photo in the LO shows my son playing with wooden offcuts,  but to brighten it a little bit I have used red for the photos border and the title.

Happy scrapping

New pack from Hobbysew

Hi,

I have just received my new DT pack from Hobbysew and can't wait to have a play around with it.  It is made up of papers and embellishments from Kaisercrafts new range "Little Toot".  Seeing as though I have two boys I don't think it will be too difficult to find some photos to go with this range!  Stay tuned to see what the end result is.....

Happy scrapping
