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.

I was having so much fun creating with the products I had been sent from Bella Blvd, I couldn't stop and finished with a few extra projects.
As my scrapping space is sadly lacking on the organisation side of things, the projects were shared today on the blog

The sweetest things in life.......

2 Crafty reveal - Mischief and Mayhem

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.

Designer Challenge at Bella Blvd

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.
The photos I chose worked perfectly with their One Fall Day collection, really loves this page.

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.
There are still a few kits available in-store here if my pages inspire you enough.

This is what I have been doing for the past few days and making lots of mess in the process. I LOVE it!!!

I have shared two small techniques over at 2 Crafty this week and then had a play trying to create a collage.

All in all, loads of fun.

Kraft It Up November Challenge

This month over at Kraft It Up it is time to get a little funky and find some inspirational ways to jazz up your pages using Decorative Edges….

So we need you to use KRAFT and some way to add DECORATIVE EDGES to your layout….
Think punches, scissors, diecut strips (Sass Lass papers are a good example of these) Diecut papers, specialty ribbons (pom poms) and crocheted trims just to name a few.

Once you have completed your entry please link your layout following the details here :-) Entries close midnight 30th November…

Here is my take on funky edges:

Our little Hulk

2 Crafty reveal

Well the past week and half all seems a bit of a blurr after a little hospital dash. Definitely not something I wanted to happen, but I finally realised it could have been very serious. I am still having trouble keeping up with what day of the week it is, but I am slowly getting through.

This month's challenge at 2 Crafty is to create a multi photo layout, use at least 2 photos and remember to include a piece of 2 Crafty chipboard. Link your layout to this post before November 7th to go in the draw.

I put a little harsh treatment on some 2 Crafty Cement Trucks to add to my double page spread.







And I wanted to share my door sign design with you using a 2 Crafty Scalloped frame in a different light. Made this one for Harrison after he spotted mine hanging on my scraproom door.

My final Scrapdango Kit reveal - October

Well I didn't realise while I was creating my pages this past week, but I am actually feeling a little sad. I have been on the Design team as the Newletter Editor/Kit designer since August 2008. It has been an amazing journey for me and I have thoroughly enjoyed every month.
Thank you to Carrie (the original owner) and now Heather, for giving me the opportunity to do what I love. Hopefully I have inspired a few girls along the way.
My duties will wrap up at the conclusion of our 'ABC of cards' crop at the end of this month.

Here are this month's beautiful kits:

Spice - Jillibean Soup Pasta Fagiole



Sugar - Combination of WRMK Maple Grove and Lily Bee Designs Catching Fall



I created my pages using the fabulous combo kit, love the colours!!

2 Crafty reveal - Leaf me alone

Yes I've been head first into my chipboard supplies again over the weekend and put together a page using a number of gorgeous chipboard pieces from 2 Crafty.

I've grabbed the Nude Tree that I had given a few squirts with a Glimmermist and embossed, Grass clumps were inked with Distress Ink and dressed up with some distress stickles, both in Peeled Paint. Finished the page with the gorgeous Maple Leaves inked in different autumn colours.
Love how it came together.

Check out the 2 Crafty Blog for more inspiring work.
