Bella Blvd Retreat kit

I've been meaning to post about this gorgeous kit all week, I can't believe it is already Thursday! I put this kit together for the Savvy Delight Retreat to teach my very first class :)
It features the awesome collection 'Too Cute to spook' from Bella Blvd, chipboard from WOW and beautiful hand-made embellishments from A Lil Somethin'

Photobucket

Lots of techniques to share with you! Hand-drawing spider webs, masking using your chipboard, lots of tearing, maybe a little hand-cutting LOL!!!, 3-Ding and heaps more! The kit includes detailed 'step by step' instructions that have been tried and tested by the girls from the retreat.

I have created 2 layouts, one with a strong Halloween theme, but can be easily adapted to suit any dress-up or scary situation and the second page will suit all little monsters.

There are also 2 bonus projects, cause I love to play.
A cool side step card and a quick and easy project for your door.

All this fun and you will find there is still tons of stuff left over to play with.
Awesome value for $35, head over to Scrapbook Savvy to purchase a kit.

Bella Blvd DT application

I have finally remembered to share my DT application here on my blog.
Sadly it was not a successful one, but I was really happy with the final projects and very proud of everything I have achieved being a part of the Bella Blvd team.

Great Buddies

Scrapbook Savvy September DT Reveal

I was absolutely stoked to have the opportunity to scrap with Echo Park Paper - Happy Days collection this month. Sarah has added the collection to the Savvy shop today.

This collection is definitely bright and happy and super flexible to use. You can easily scrap any subject just by choosing different colour combinations. The stickers are a 'must have' when purchasing the papers, they co-ordinate so well.
I created 4 pages so far, 2 very girlie and 2 masculine pages, I have loved every moment I have spent using the. Hoping to do a few more pages over the weekend.

Sweet little girl

Scrapbook Savvy September 'Special Edition' kits

Have you seen these gorgeous kits yet??
They were revealed for the first time at the Savvy Delights Retreat on the weekend and have now been posted to the Scrapbook Savvy store. Both kits are just divine!! They were slightly smaller than the normal monthly kits but are incredible value!

She's Savvy is nearly $30.00 value selling for $25.

He's Savvy has a value over $35.00 and is selling for a cool price of $30.00

Photobucket

I was lucky enough to create some samples to showcase the He's Savvy kit and I still have plenty left over to play some more this weekend. Both pages have been made using the reverse side of the papers, so you can see how yummy this kit is.

2Crafty & Savvy get together

I have some 2Crafty work to do before I leave for the Savvy Delight Retreat on Wednesday morning and I was going to save the She's Savvy kit until the Retreat, but I have failed dismally!
It was just too perfect for the photo of my great niece, so I had to crack it open.

I've added a gorgeous 2Crafty Floral frame to my page, all inked and crackled to blend in with the papers.

Love the final result! One more project to do and then it is time for some serious packing.

A few things to share

Sorry been a bit slack this week with sharing. Just never seems to be enough time in the day.

One thing I have been busy doing is putting together my Bella Blvd DT application. Needed to create 4 new pages to send them, I put together 5 and then couldn't decided LOL!! But I have sent that in, so I will share that with you soon.

It is the beginning of the month again, so I have my manufacturer's challenge over at Scrapbook Savvy to show you. I could not resist the growing popularity of Anthentique! It did help that the three new kits released over at Savvy all included different collections from Authentique.

So the chosen manufacturer for September is AUTHENTIQUE and the extra criteria is to included CIRCLES.

All the challenges are posted in the forum for you to check out, remember to upload your take on any of the challenges the the gallery before Midnight September 30th to be eligible for some Savvy dollars.

Here are the links for you:

Sar's Random Kit Challenge (Due Tuesday 13th September)
Sara's Wordy Challenge
Anthea's Sketch Challenge
Renee's Music Clip Challenge

I did manage one other challenge from our Cybercrop weekend, wish I had done more. I love doing Sar's blind challenges and this one wasn't any different. I even managed to get pretty close.

I am also trying to play along over at Scrapbooking From Scratch. Peta is running a month long competition where there is a sketch featured every day. I have only managed one so far, but I am sure I will get more done especially at the retreat coming up.
