Bella Blvd | Project Life...

Hi Everyone!  I just wanted to share with you my Project Life spread | Week 39.  It is up on the Bella BLVD blog today with a few details as to how and why I chose to use the Candid Cards and Paper Pieces from several Bella collections.

 

"Week 39"

 

products used: pp - Bella Blvd; alpha - Bella Blvd (High Five Alphabets: Black-White); other - Bella Blvd: Candid Cards, Trinkets, Paper Pieces; Treasures & Text; Miniatures, Chipboard Icons;  Ciao Chip Elements: Stars & Hearts; tools - machine stitching, typewriter, photo flip pocket.

 

Of course, my Project Life is never complete without a weekly run-through of journaling.  But with this week being the start of the September school holidays, I had a high number of photos to include in my spread and no place to add my words.  The simplest solution is to add hidden journaling with a flip pocket.

 

 

Don't forget to visit Bella Blvd to check out what the team has been up to lately.  Thanks for visiting..x

 

 



Bella Blvd | Project Life...

Hi Everyone!  Just wanted to share a PL spread created for Bella Blvd.  Week 27 | June 30 - July 6.  

 

 Week 27 was a very busy week for my family. I had a high volume of photos to include plus several significant events to record! And because of the complexity of all these events, I needed to use colours that would be universal across the spread. Luckily for me, all of the Bella Blvd collections compliment each other!

 

Here's a more detailed look at the spread...

 



 

For more info on the who, what, where & when, please head on over to Bella Blvd.  Thanks for visiting today...x

Hello!

Have you noticed my absence once again? LOL!  You may well have guessed that it once again school holidays here and we are about to celebrate Easter.  I have a number of shares to catch you up on but as you can imagine, I am slightly overwhelmed with everyday life right now.

These school holidays we travelled 15 hours North, in the car, with four children, non-stop. Crazy? Definitely. But worth it? Maybe.. LOL!

 

While we were visiting my home town, we got caught up in Tropical Cyclone Ita.  A category 4 storm that hit the North Queensland coast.  We were lucky enough to be inland and not in the direct path but of course we still received the rain and winds.

 

What my kids enjoyed most was spending time with their grandmother and reuniting with their cousins!  Of course I also got to drag them all over the country town I went to high school in and showed them a few of the local haunts!

 

 

 

 

So while I am wading through the multiple piles of washing and unpacking our suit cases, please head on over to Sassy Scrappers and check out my PL spreads for Week 10....

 

 

 

 

And Week 11..

 

 

 

Thanks so much for visiting...x

 

 

 



Sassy Scrappers | Week Three...

Hi Everyone!!  Up on the Sassy Scrappers blog today is my Project Life | Week Three spread.

 

I've been playing with shape repetition to link the elements and subjects of my photos where normally there would be no connection. 

Head on over to the Sassy Scrappers blog for more details and (hopefully) helpful tips on how I put this spread together.  Thanks so much for visiting...x

 

 

 

 

Bella Blvd | Pinterest Inspiration...

Hello Friends!  It's time for a little Bella Blvd Pinterest Inspiration today and this was something of a challenge for me!!  Laura always chooses awesome images and this photo is no exception.

 

However, we normally don't celebrate Halloween in our household, even though the idea of this particular "holiday" is becoming more popular in Australia in recent times.  And even if the photo can be interpreted away from the Halloween theme.. I can't escape the Autumnal colours!  Eeeeek!! We are experiencing Spring Down Under (even though it feels ridiculously like Summer!). *grin*

 

So how did I get around these challenges in the challenge? I chose fun photos taken in gorgeous afternoon light.  That solves everything right? *wink*

"Fun Can Happen Anywhere"

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; Bella Blvd - Snapshots: Snapshots Tabs; Trick or Treat: Happy Owlween; Finally Fall: Borders, At The Patch, Quadrants; Sand&Surf: Paradise; Bookplates: Everyday Bookplates; Sophisticates: Yellow High Five Alphabets; Crochet Hearts: Orange; Designer Tape: Pickle Juice Stripe Tape; other - embroidery thread (black), sequins; tools - silhouette portrait, black pen, foam tape.

 

My children have certainly had an eventful September/October school holiday this year.  We did so much and most of it was from the comfort of our own home! This particular day was all about the water fight!  Simple pleasures!! LOL!

 

If you would like to see a little more about the process of my layout, please visit Bella Blvd here.  You will also get to check out the other fabulous DT interpretations of the Pinterest Inspiration photo too.  Thanks so much for visiting..x

 

 

 



The Scrapbook Store | October Sketch...

Hi Everyone!  Today I am sharing this month's sketch from The Scrapbook Store.  It is another gorgeous design created by my talented friend Melinda Spinks. 



I've added my own touches to it - like rotate it to the right and of course shrunk it down to 8.5" x 11".  *grin*

 

"Treasure Hunt"

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Carta Bella (Rough & Tumble); alpha - Dear Lizzy, Jillibean Soup; other - Carta Bella: cardstock stickers; Echo Park: Decorative Brads; Jenni Bowlin butterfly stickers, twine, mist (Mister Huey's, Glimmermist), Colorbox ink (pool); tools - black pen, hole punch, Amy Tangerine clear stamps.

 

I put this layout together using my The Scrapbook Store dt kit for October.  It is full of lovely Carta Bella collection featuring Rough & Tumble.  These soft blues/aquas/yellows were perfect for the beach scene in my photos.

 

 

The element stickers from Carta Bella are absolutely gorgeous and I have teamed them up with the decorative brads from Echo Park. I kind of went a little over board when using them together! *grin*

 

I hope you will join in with this challenge over at The Scrapbook Store.  There is already a huge amount of inspiration from the DT flooding the gallery.  Thanks for visiting..x
