Scrap Feature from Brazil...

Hi Friends! I just wanted to share a link with you all today about a wonderful Brazilian blog that approached me for a Scrapbooking feature.  The blog, Scrap Entre Amigas, is sharing a heap of different styles all together in one place.  It's actually quite impressive seeing so many creative people in cyberspace that have different creative directions, but all with one common goal. To scrap.

 

This is the layout they borrowed..

 

 

products used: cs - Kaisercraft; pp - Bella Blvd.

 

 

 

If you get a chance, pop on over and check out the fabulous gallery of scrapbooking styles.  Thanks for visiting..x

 

 

 

Bella Blvd | Button Love..

Hi Everyone!  Today over at Bella Blvd we are sharing some fun ways to use buttons on our layouts.  I had a chance to contribute to this fun challenge but I also teamed up the gorgeous Bella Blvd Button Market buttons with plenty of designer tape!

 

"Homemade Easter Eggs"



 

Bella Blvd products used: Freestyle Sophisticates: Freestyle Pickle Juice; All American: Borders & Cute Cuts; Sand & Surf: Beach Balls, Miniatures; Birthday Boy: Alpha+Bits Stickers; High Five Alpha Stickers: Gulf; Designer Tape: Yellow Chevron, Red Chevron, Blue Chevron, Pickle Juice Chevron, Orange Stripe, Polkadot Combo, Pickle Juice Stripe, Yellow Stripe; Button Market: Orange Stars, Outdoors, Wood Mix, Checkers, Tie Dye, Red Flowers; Cling Stamps: Sand & Surf; other - Kaisercraft cardstock, black pen (sharpie), twine.

I really do love how the different product collections all match perfectly with each other. Four photos, six different buttons and eight different strips of designer tape!  I was in scrapbooking heaven when I create this layout.  It all came together way too easily...

I also adore the fresh bright colours of the alpha stickers laid directly on top of the designer tape.  Those little fussy cut flowers were created using the new Bella Blvd Sand & Surf cling stamps.  A great product to work with and stamps very clear images.

I hope you have been inspired to break out your own personal button collection to create with sometime this week!  I always love a challenge and now I can cross this event off my to-scrap list!  LOL!  Did you notice the date in the journaling?  2011...!  I am so thankful (over and over again) that I am not a chronological scrapper!  *grin*  I would never get anything done if I were! And I know for sure that I'd never be up-to-date! Thanks for visiting..x

 

Wow! Check this out...

OMGosh!!!  Are you as surprised as what I am????  My layout is currently the featured project over at Two Peas!  Wow!! ........ Wow!! 

I don't know how long it will last up on the site!  LOL!  But it was a lovely surprise to see my daughter looking back at me.  How cool is that!  hee hee...

Create + Share...

Hi Everyone!  I have a fabulous Get Picky sketch to share today for September and the DT had the amazing opportunity to play with a brand new line from Best Creations Inc.  Straight from the recent CHA, I had heaps of fun playing with "Happy Haunting"!!

So cute right! LOL!  Hmmmm....  Maybe I shouldn't say that about a scary Halloween line!!  LOL!!  Anyway, here is the sketch....

September Sketch Challenge #12

 And... here is what I came up with:

[You & Scooby Doo!]

products used: cs - bazzill, Best Creations glitter cs; pp - Best Creations (Happy Haunting); alpha - American Crafts fabric thickers, Best Creations sticker mini alphas; other - Best Creations stickers, staples, black pen (sharpie), Glue Arts foam tape, kaisercraft ink: black.

I have to admit I was challenged with these papers.  Not because I didn't like them.  They are so much fun!  And the Glitter Cardstock!!!! (I've got to find some more of that here in Australia!! LOL!).  But I struggled simply because we don't celebrate Halloween.  It's not a big thing in our household. (Even though I'm sure the kids would LOVE it! hahaha!).

So what did I scrap about then.  Well.... Scooby Doo of course!  hee hee!  Ethan is O.B.S.E.S.S.E.D.  This was his Book Week Character from last month.  How cute is he? (Biased mother speaking.  Ignore that!)

And can you see the sketch??  Yeah.  I suppose it is a bit of a stretch!  HAHAHA!  I do that.  hee hee.  I've created a window using the black glitter cardstock on top of white bazzill.  This window is my substitute for the big photo in the sketch.  The little photo above and on the left, replaces the journaling card and the rest is still sorta, well, kinda... in the same spot.  hee hee.  Trust me.  hee hee.

I hope you will all join us over at Get Picky for the chance to win THREE brand new CHA Glitter Collection Kits for our sketch challenge winner.  How fantastic is that!!  Three collections for the winner!  And while there, have a look at what the other DT girls created.  Amazing.

Thanks so much for visiting...x
