2Crafty - A Captured moment

Thought I should share my 2Crafty post for this week with you now that my Sis & girls have headed back to Brisbane.
I have been a slack blogger this week.

I have combined a few different chipboard pieces on my page, lots of inking and stickles to dress them up. Check out the full description for each piece here

2Crafty - 2011 Christmas Photo

I am still scrapping Christmas photos, just can't help myself! I think it has something to do with the yummy 2Crafty chipboard I have in my stash LOL!

I have used a flourish, Nordic Snowflakes and the Christmas from the Merry Christmas title to decorate my take on this month's Wendy Smith sketch over at Anna's Craft Cupboard. Thanks Wendy xxx, love the end result!

Savvy January Manufacturer Challenge

This month's manufacturer is one we have done early last year but with the two gorgeous collections in the shop at the moment, I really couldn't resist featuring it again. Plus I am still loving playing with what Sar had sent me for December LOL!!

The manufacturer is My Minds Eye and the twist to the challenge is to use a patterned paper for your background.

Now I am pretty sure everyone will have some MME in their stash, but if for some strange reason you haven't, head over to the store and check out Everyday Fun and Happy Days

Here is my sample, which also featuring some gorgeous mini tags and Barbed Wire from 2Crafty

Sugar Fix







You have until Midnight January 31st to upload your page to the correct gallery to be eligible for some super Savvy dollars.

Wrap up for 2011

Well what can I say, it's been fun!

Not so happy about the working more and scrapping less bit, but I am hoping 2012 will bring some better time management skills to me LOL.

I won't hold my breathe!

I have created a collage of my favourite layouts for 2011, it's ready to be scrapped once I start my holidays.

This weekend we are Cybercropping over at Scrapbook Savvy with a Christmas theme.

There are 3 great challenges to tackle and you have until midnight Thursday January 5th to upload to the gallery

I decided on a puzzle piece challenge.

You need to use a tree, star, ticket, bow and music note on your page somewhere to play along.

Xmas Lights - Week 51

And I can actually brag and say I have finished my 52 week album for 2011!!

Man that feels so awesome! Something I never thought I would stick with but I just love looking through it. And I have already started my first page for 2012.

Here are the last 2 pages

The tree is up - Week 49

Santas Claus has come to town - Week 52

Thank you for dropping by during 2011, it is always nice to read your lovely comments.

I hope you will continue to visit here throughout 2012.

Scrapbook Savvy - MME Everyday Fun

I've been having a blast creating layouts from the gorgeous My Minds Eye collection, Everyday fun. Sar sent the papers, borders, rhinestones and twine to me just before Christmas and I have slowly been putting pages together in between festivities. I still have loads of paper left and will definitely be doing some more pages with it when I get the chance.

Staring early

This page also features some of the new 2Crafty chipboard, the butterfly, circles and the journal plate.

This is your 2011

Features 2Crafty mini tag which are great for adding dates to your page.

School Concert - Week 50

Dream come true

The neutral colours in this collection make it so easy to put pages together, hopefully you now feel inspired to start creating. Thanks for popping in :)

52 Weeks - On the home stretch

I truly can not believe I have continued with this challenge for the whole year. I have a few pages to catch up on for December, but I think I have done pretty well.

Here are a few more pages to share with you.

A boring week - Week 43

Remembrance Day - Week 45

Magic Cave 2011 - Week 47

Your surprise visitor - Week 48

2Crafty pages to Share

This page was created using 2Crafty chipboard Jungle animals posted on the blog last week.

Love these animals! They were the perfect embellishments to add to the page.

I have used gel pens and Glossy Accents to jazz them up.

This was the last school excursion for the year and the kids had a ball.

Zoo Trip

This second page has been created using chipboard from the most recent mini release of 2Crafty chipboard.

This title was so perfect for an older photo I had waiting to be scrapped.

So many toys so little time.

I will have more chipboard goodness to share with you later in the week.

Savvy December Manufacturer Challenge

I have been a bit slack not to post this month's Savvy challenge, such a crazy time of year!

This month I have chosen Lily Bee Designs as the December manufacturer and your technique is really easy "Layering"

Lily Bee is featured in the recently released She's Savvy kit or you can use whatever stash you have at home.

Upload your layout to the correct gallery by December 31st to be eligible for some Savvy dollars.

Here is my take on the challenge also featuring my favourite chipboard alphas from 2Crafty

Family nearly all of us, but not quite





Happy scrapping!

November He's Savvy reveal

Have you seen the gorgeous kits released over at Scrapbook Savvy?

I have all three this month and can tell you first hand that they are awesome.
You really would not be disappointed with your purchase.

I have been lucky enough to create using the yummy He's Savvy kit that features October Afternoon Boarding Pass and some yummy Jillibean Soup papers, there are also the very cool Corrugated Alphas and a October Afternoon mist to use.

I had a blast creating on Friday night and found I had put together 3 pages very quickly. Always a sign of an amazing kit!

Red is your colour



Sisterly love



Your serious face



Hope these inspire you to crack your kit open and I am sure there will be more to come once I find a few spare minutes.
