A Peaceful Moment

Here is my entry for this month's challenge over at 123 Challenge. My daughter was not very impressed with the picture I decided to use, but I just love it. Our puppy is full of energy & will keep going all day if she could, so it's nice to see her stop & have a snuggle now & then.

Be Yourself

After missing a couple of months of the Kraft + challenges, I really wanted to get this one done. I was inspired by a layout I saw in a recent copy of Scrapbooking Memories where they had used frames around the photo & I really liked it. However, as I saw more & more people uploading there own layouts, I became slightly discouraged, as they are all so talented. I just didn't feel I had what it takes... Never mind, I pulled up my big girl panties & just did it! I am quite happy with the result :)

Cardstock: American Crafts, Bazzill, Kraft

Love This

After scouring the amazing inspiration from the DT girls over at Charms Creations, several times mind you, I finally decided to scraplift a page by Charm herself! I actually loved doing this & yes, I got very messy! It only took me a couple of hours to do (allowing for drying time of the Colour Shine & lunch), which was a bonus seeing as I have had a horrible headache all day.

This Is Your Wanderlust

What a pleasant surprise & honour to be asked to be a Guest DT this month over at Funky Flair! I was so nervous & hoped I would do the challenge justice. When I saw the word 'Wanderlust', I froze a little... we haven't been on a holiday for, well, forever... It really made me think of how I could tackle this. I remember this quote from Dr Seuss & knew my daughter's love of reading was the best way to go. This kid reads almost every waking minute - I'm not kidding! Reads while walking, eating & is constantly at her school library borrowing as many books as they will let her. I know that this love of books is what fuels her creative mind & I can only imagine the places she goes.

Products Used:

Cardstock: La Carte, Bazzill, Kaisercraft

Paper: Kaisercraft Tea Party

Embellishments: ek border punch, Tim Holtz tag die, Sizzix cloud die, Funky Flairs, Charms Creations heart & wood veneer, paper flowers, ribbon, staple, Heidi Swapp word die, Kaisercraft alpha dies, computer fonts

I Love You

Last month, I was just a little bit late in getting my entry in for White with 1's challenge, so I thought I would be well prepared this month. I am uploading ALL my month's entries at once! Now, that I have started, I am regretting it - about a dozen to do!

This month's challenge was Jester Red & although it is my 2nd favourite colour, I seemed to struggle with it a bit.

Products used:

Cardstock: Bazzill
Paper: Various paper scraps from my stash, vellum
Embellishments: Prima stencil, texture paste, doily, Charms Creations heart, paper & fabric flowers, brads, Kaisercraft word die

Circa 1972

Well, hellooo! It's been a while, once again... I always seem to have trouble 'keeping up with the uploading of the pics to the computer; part of scrapbooking :p It has been a crazy month & there have been times where sitting down to scrap has evaded me. I always have great intentions at the beginning of the month, but life just sometimes gets in the way. So, I have only managed to get 1 of the many challenges I would love to do, done. This one is for White with 1, with the colour being Lavender Herb. Of course, purple & it's many tones is my favourite colour, so naturally I had fun with this one. I found this photo of my Mum & I somewhere on my desk, & just had to use it.
