Well, after a stressful 24 hours where I somehow deleted my Scrap Layouts folder in Picasa, I have finally managed to at least get my Chunky Book page up & loaded... So, here it is :) Having never done something like this before, I was unsure where to start. But, once I started spraying the ink around, the page kind of took on a life of it's own... I fully understood the term 'challenge' for this one! ;) Head on over to Aussie Crafters & check out the exciting challenges they have this month & their Under the Sea swap, & why not give it a go...? ;) I'm not participating in the swap this month, but hopefully will be next month.

Just want to share with you once more, my project for Aussie Crafters Off the Page - anything Easter. I bought my daughter a WRMK envelope punch board for all of the cards she was making. However, she no longer has time to make them, so I have inherited it! :) I love using it & wanted to make my OTP as something useful (I am just a practical girl at heart, you know) ;) When I found these cute little baskets, I just had to make them. They took all of 5 minutes to make & you can get 4 out of one 12x12 sheet of paper. After filling them with eggs, I thought I may have to keep them & give them to the kiddos for Easter.

Products used:

Cardstock: Scraps

Paper: Pink Paislee Hey Kid paper pad

Embellishements: Ribbon, hole punch, computer printed text & Chocolate!!!

I am so happy to share with you my first project as part of the Design Team for Aussie Crafters! I am not known for my card-making ability, so when I was asked to not only make a card, but a shaker card, I thought 'Oh no!". But, I was determined to learn & after searching YouTube for turorials, I came up with this! I am so happy with how it turned out :) Please head over to Aussie Crafters & check out their swaps, sketches (soon to be revealed) & awesome inspiration. Would love to see you there X

This week for Scrapsidaisy Scraplift Challenges Number 112, the theme was Oscar Fever. Using Minnie Mouse as my inspiration, I decided to go Project Life. I have only dabbled with it so far, so I'm not sure if I went to 'scrap-booky' or not, but I got the effect that I wanted. I'm am going to have to work on my photo-taking skills of my layouts as I can see I need to improve. X

Woo Hoo, here I am again, updating my blog! I may just become a computer whizz after all! ;) I want to share with you, my entry for a new monthly challenge at Kraft Plus http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/2015/02/february-challenge-mango-breeze.html. After starting this layout with stencils, texture paste & inks & sprays, I wasn't happy with how it was going :( So,  I turned the Kraft over & started again! I had seen a technique using Project Life cards on layouts, so I found these Becky Higgins cards that were just perfect for what I wanted to say. My next step now, is to see if I can link this up to the Kraft Plus blog - wish me luck! Thanks for stopping by & remember, Live Life then Scrap It! X

Here is another layout I did recently for Scrap The Boys January Challenge. I was unable to finish it before the deadline, so it wasn't submitted. However, I was encouraged to share it anyway whenever I did finish it. I love this range of papers & had fun doing this one.

Hi all! I know I've been MIA recently, but I had forgotten how to upload here. Thanks to Miss 14, I think I now have it! ;) This is my latest challenge, uploaded for Scrapsidaisy Scraplift Challenges Number 111. The theme was Dr Seuss! I looked up some quotes & after Miss 9 decided on the one she liked best, it was so easy. I took a series of photos, printed them off & simply stuck & cut! One of the easiest layouts I've ever made.
