There's still time!

Good morning Saturday scrappers - I hope you've got a fabulous weekend planned. Only a few days in the month left so I thought I'd offer you a little inspiration to kick start your scrappy session.

The SUYS June challenge is a recipe:

At least one hand made item.

A sprinkling of stars

A dash of sequins

A title that includes at least 2 different types of alpha stickers

3 buttons/flair

2 photos

1 arrow

Here's my baking:

I'm not much of a baker - I don't mind cooking but I tend to leave the baking to Zoe - and now I know why! The first time I did this challenge, I carefully followed the instructions but not carefully enough - I added one photo instead of two so, it was back to the scrappy kitchen for another go! Here's that first LO :)

The photos on both LOs were taken at Timbertown during our holiday to Port Macquarie. We had a fun day out soaking up a bit of pioneer history.

* I've neglected this blog for so long that even my most loyal visitors have disappeared - oh dear! Let's just call this post a cooee into the wide blue.

Come cybercropping with this slack blogger!

Hello - long time past and all that - welcome back!

Come and join me for a fabulous cybercrop at Scrapbooking Top 50 - love these ccs, always great challenges and lots of fun to be had.

And while I'm talking about SB Top 50 here's my take on the latest sketch - this one was a little beauty -  my LO just fell into place. This is my daughter and my sister's dog - sharing a little love :)

And here's a couple of close ups - be impressed - I never remember to take these!

I had a lot of fun creating the layers on this page, which I promptly covered over with another layer...

Thanks for stopping by, hope to see you at the SB Top 50 cc :)

SUYS April Update

I'm running a little behind with my SUYS design sample - obviously I've been out and about having too much fun!

Anyway, this month's challenge is a beauty, it uses this fabulous photo as inspiration:

And here's how I interpreted it. I used the colours, circles and layers. My handmade items are a Charms Creation and a Studio Fourteen40 flair.

Can't wait to see what you create with the cake :)

Also the ever-fabulous Sue Plumb has given the SUYS blog a make over. Check it out! See my cool new badge?

Top 50 April Sketch

Chloe created a great sketch this month over at Scrapbooking Top 50. I love it when a LO just comes together. I had a lot of fun pulling out some of my older My Vintage Blossoms embellies and adding some newer bits and bobs.

My journalling is on the hello tab - this pair are still inseparable - a regular mutual admiration society - both as reckless and fun loving as the other.

Scrap the Girls

It's been ages since I played along at Scrap the Girls but this month's challenge caught my eye: scrapbook your girls using traditional boy colour schemes and some "boyish" embellishments!!!Remember no boys allowed, just boy stuff!!

Here's what I came up with:

Thanks to the end of daylight savings, I had a peaceful hour to myself this morning to create this. I started off with some gesso and added some stamping, rub ons, washi tape, dylusionals and grungeboard. I softened the overall effect with some tissue paper, brads and sequins - Zoe loved it, further proof she's not the super-girly type :)

Scrappy Saturday

Reading the Stampin Up catalogue got me feeling creative this morning. So I whipped up this using the remains of a kit I found when I was doing a stash clean out. I love Jillibean Soup :)

Then I thought I should finish off this layout that's been kicking around for awhile now. It's also the result of my stash decluttering. So far I haven't managed to get rid of much but I've been using up some lovely rediscovered bits and pieces. Anyway, I went old-school and added a smattering of buttons, a date stamp - using my latest SU purchase - love how cleanly it stamps and, some journaling.  Done :)

Then since I was photographing those two, I snapped this one as well. It was for the colour challenge over at Top 50 but somehow I just never quite managed to load it to their gallery... I've had that peanut bag for years (seriously at least five, maybe more) so, I was pretty happy to have finally used it. I know I've scrapped this photo before but I really didn't like that LO so I scrapped it again - it's not like I'm going to run out of scrapping supplies anytime soon.

Happy Saturday! I'm off to doing some more creating. Maybe you are too? Enjoy!
