Scrapbook Savvy November cybercrop

Better late than never!

At Scrapbook Savvy we held our November CC last weekend. Loads of fun and fabulous challenges from all of the DT. I even managed to do Sara's challenge and Sar's blind challenge. You still have an hour to get the challenges done.

My challenge was to scrap a Christmas page using a song title or the lyrics for your title. Added criteria for your page, use stars, circles and glitter.

Sara's challenge was to scrap a Christmas page using non-christmas papers. I scrapped photos from our city pageant this year. Lots of colour so went for the gorgeous collection from WRMK.

This is magic



We did Sar's Blind challenge on Sunday night and had a blast!! Grabbed my old and trusty BG Wassills papers with are my all time favourite! Surprisingly mine looks fairly close to the real version Sar did.

Your christmas smile



Sorry Anthea, sitting on my fat butt is not going to get your challenge finished tonight. But I promise to share it when I am done.

2 Crafty - Santa Photo

I am getting into the spirit of Christmas early this year. Thought I would pull out an older photo to start the scrapping festivities.
There are many fabulous 2 Crafty Christmas chipboard pieces to choose from, thought I would tackle to Shopping Santa first. Kept the colours very traditional, using inks and gel pens to decorate him and his presents.



I had to use Santas List, tried to age it a little with inks and crackle paint. Love the end result.



Finally, I grabbed the Santa Photo chipboard title, put on some ink, crackle paint and stickles for frosting.



Here is my gorgeous boy at 2 and a half years of age, where has the time gone?

2 Crafty reveal - Mishief and Mayhem

I absolutely love 2 Crafty's Halloween release and thankfully Harrison loves dressing up for the occasion.
I've used the gorgeous Grinning Pumpkins on my page bringing them to life with some gel pens, inks, glimmermist and stickles.





Also grabbed a few Monsters and decorated them with pencils, gel pens, glossy accents and glitter.
Can you tell I had fun!



Check out my very scarey skeleton!

Scrap the Boys November 15 Challenge

This month we were lucky enough to receive some fabulous chipboard pieces from our generous sponsor 2 Crafty.
And if you know me well enough, this girl can never have enough chipboard!

As always for the second challenge of the month, Susan has created another fabulous sketch to use if desired and of course the element is CHIPBOARD.

This is this month's sketch:



And this is my page, just love how it turned out.

More Bella Blvd to share with you.

OMGoodnees I've had sooooooo much fun playing with this newly released 2 Crafty chipboard piece and Anthea will share more of the releases on the blog on Saturday.

I couldn't go past the Grinning Pumpkins to create Harrison's first official Halloween page and I have added some 2 Crafty Monsters from my stash.
All the pieces have been put through their paces using different technique and have again finished out on top.

Today's blog post over at Bella Blvd was a Designer challenge set by Beth and Stephanie to use black and white photos on a layout.

She's Savvy Kiy Reveal

Well I've had a fabulous day scrapping today!
Sar sent the November She's Savvy Kit for me to create with this month and I have loved walking on the girlie side. I loved the colours in the kit and found everything co-ordinates so well. Sara has once again out done herself.
