Savvy September Reveal

This month our DT kits featured 2 of the most fabulous companies, Scrapware and Prima. Sar generously supplied a combination of different patterned papers that worked perfectly together and then added the icing on the cake, some awesome chipboard pieces and flowers 'To die for'.
Also featured are the beautiful glitter thickers, just love the colour!!

'Not so tasty'

A mixture of some Fancy Pants papers and ribbon, a touch of Scenic Route and the stunning Queen & Co Beadifuls.
I have used glossy Accents to adhere the Beadifuls to my pp corner.





I had sooooooooo much fun putting this page together.
How delicious are the Prima flowers!! I really love the vine, it is so easy to reposition.
Thought I would use the vine as the backbone to my Scrapware journal puzzle pieces.
And I just love the end result.
The papers are another amazing combination of MME Confetti Parade, Little Yellow Bicycle Vita Bella and SEI Bridgeport.
Also managed to recycle some Prima packaging again.

'You have a beautiful soul'





Had some fun creating a few cards.
I have made use of a tag from a swap and created the butterflies using a technique I have just learnt from my LSS. It has been created with an AL stamp, stazon, Mod Podge and Glossy accents.
Even dragged out my Bigshot for a play.



Thanks Sar for some amazing products, thoroughly enjoyed creating with them.

Savvy September Ad Challenge

There were amazing entires in last month's Ad challenge at Savvy, so I hoping this one will inspire just as many people.
I have chosen another multi-photo design this month and was originally drawn to this Ad for it's clean lines and simplicity, but alas, anyone who knows me well will just laugh when they see what I have done with it.
Yes I will admit I struggle with simple LOL!! But I love how the page has turned out.

I have featured an awesome grunge technique (created by Rachelle Minett, thanks Rach) on my chipboard pieces and just had to use the AMAZING Scrapware chipboard crane designed by our very own Lisa Warren.

Hope you are inspired by the Ad and can still see the resemblance to it in my layout.
Your pages need to be uploaded to the correct folder in the Savvy gallery by midnight September 30 to be in the running for the prize from Sar.

September 123 Challenge

Well I just LOVE this month's criteria for 123 Challenge, I am sure it will produce some amazing layouts.

1. Book Paper
2. Use the word 'Smile'
3. Non-Scrappy item

Remember to be in the running for some fabulous prizes, send your layouts to the girls by September 30th at challenge_123@hotmail.com

Here is my take on the challenge, my non-scrappy item is string.

'A child's smile.........'

August reveal for Scrapdango

Well it is better late than never they say.
Poor Carrie is totally over the Postal Service over there, missing parcels, sending them to the wrong address, nothing has gone smoothly.

Both kits were stunning this month,

our Sugar kit was the beautiful Basic Grey - Lemonade



and the Spice kit was one of my favourite lines, Kaisercraft Offshore



With all of the delivery hassles, Carrie decided to send some Basic Grey my way and I was thrilled to be able to scrap some more wedding photos for my nephew.

What a beautiful day



First Flower



Sweet Love



Thought I would finish off with a card

August 123 update

Well I have finally gotten around to finishing my page for the challenge.
And it's not that I didn't like the challenge, in fact it would be my favourite criteria for awhile.
Life has just been so busy the past week or so, family birthdays and working extra days, takes its toll.

So here it is,
Metal embellishments are Alpha brads, eyelets and 'Laugh' tag.
I have used the staples to attach the journal tags.

Savvy August Ad Challenge

I really love this month's Ad challenge, it has everything a scrapper could ask for to create a fabulous page.
It includes a technique if you dare to try it, the possibility of 6 photos and there is lots of space to play and for a bonus twist this month, anyone who does this challenge using any Kaisercraft papers, their name will be entered into a random draw for a RAK from me and my RAK's are usually very generous!!

The more entries, the more stash will appear in the RAK.

Check out the new Kaisercraft collections in-store here

ENJOY!!



I have been busy creating and enjoying this Ad, so I managed to finish 2 layouts to share.

Savvy's August DT review

I was lucky enough to receive Kaisercraft Duchess this month with some gorgeous matching embellishments. And if that wasn't enough, Sar added some of the divine glitter Thickers from American Craft. I love blue and brown together and the 'Olde World' feel to these papers worked beautifully with some of my sepia photos.
I didn't head down the vintage page road, instead I decided to highlight their masculine capabilities and was really happy with the result.
You will find this awesome collection in-store at Scrapbook Savvy here http://www.scrapbooksavvy.com.au/store/index.php?main_page=index&cPath=134_424_665

Full Steam Ahead



Our Angel in disguise

August 123 Challenge

This month's criteria is very simple and gives you an opportunity to use some of those 'not so good' photos.

1. Use some type of metal on the LO {eg: buckle, label holder, tin, etc}
2. Out of focus photo
3. Use of at least 5 staples

Complete your layout by the last day of August for your chance to win some FANTASTIC prizes!!!

Email your entires to challenge_123@hotmail.com

My take on this challenge is on it's way!

Scrap the Boys August Challenge

This month we would like you to pull out those photos of your boys with food…they could be cooking, eating, harvesting…whatever as long as food is involved it qualifies.

The second criteria for the challenge is to use a cooking term in your title…here are some ideas…stir, steam, whip, beat, heat, pipe, knead, cut, chop…etc. And if you can't think of anything, pop Chef in there somewhere :)
Email your entries here susan.longman@bigpond.com by the August 31st to be in the running for some fabulous prizes.

This is what I came up with for the challenge,

SCRaPDANGo July Kit reveal

This month both kits are amazing! So fabulous in fact, they have both sold out very quickly.

The Sugar Kit is the aptly named collection Pebbles Inc "So Tweet".
A gorgeous blend of Red, green and Blue with Brown and white as your base colors. Making this collection complete was the feature of birds, flowers and trees, perfect for any girlie pages.
The SCRaPDANGo DT girls Julie, Ginni and Keely have created stunning projects, you can see them here,
http://www.scrapdango.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=697



The Spice Kit is the awesome range from Fancy Pants, Kraft Kuts!!
A girl can NEVER have enough Kraft I say.
I love the stars and arrows that feature throughout most of the papers and each paper is full of color without being busy and congested.
DT girls, Heather and Alyssa have given this range a fantastic workout.
Head over to the SCRaPDANGo gallery to check the projects out,
http://www.scrapdango.net/gallery/showgallery.php?cat=698



My Spice kit has only just arrived down under, well worth the wait I might say!!
So over the next few days I will be adding more of my creations to this post.

'Here comes the sun'







'Related by chance, Buddies by choice'





Not so different!
