21st by Sara

Just a quick page share tonight. I had a scrappy morning with my mum this morning and wanted to get an idea I had down onto paper.

I have seen this confetti idea around a bit lately and whilst its a little fiddly, I quite like it and will be using it again I think. A close up:

This is another page down for my 52 weeks album and for the January sketch at Anna's Craft Cupboard.
A close up of the doilie and XL spotty button.

Have a great weekend.

must be love..

Just a quick share today, I'm really struggling to find the time to scrap these school holidays,

Happens every time I know lol..

Anyway this is a layout of Mark and Myself, a bit of a funny one, I wish I had of had time to do the journaling on it, but I just didn't.. We have been together 13.5 years now, and drive each other crazy at the best of times lol.... so it MUST be love!!

I have used a super cute babushska button on this page, she is so so cute, I wish I had some more! Also in there are some tickets, and my usual twine!!

Thanks for looking, I hope you are all having fun these school holidays!!

Cherish

We always cherish those close to our hearts don't we...
This layout i created for this months Scrapjacked Challenge. Basically i just used up scraps which were lying around on my desk. I love to do this often as then i don't have to pack it away...LOL...

And a close up of the owl button which was the perfect colour to match my layout.

Hope you are all having a fantastic day...

Have you checked out this months sketch challenge??

New Year Resolutions...

Hello everyone! I hope you have all had a nice start to the year. I've never been one for new year's resolutions, but this year I have made a resolution of sorts... I want to go to Fiji for a holiday! :) It felt good to document this on a layout, so it really feels like it's going to happen now! This layout is my DT sample for the latest Get Picky challenge...

My layout is called "Destination Fiji 2012". I've printed out a map of Fiji and inked and glimmermisted it to look vintage and funky. :)

I've used lots of Purple Pumpkin embellies on here. Here's some closies of them...


Here's an orange doily that I've cut in half - to use the other half on the other side of the photos, two yellow vinyl hearts that I doodled around, a lovely little rosette that I received in my Girls Lucky Dip, and a piece of pale yellow doily trim that I have used on lots of layouts...


There's the other half of the aforementioned orange doily ;). Plus a twine bow, vinyl tag and a cute wooden butterfly button... SUPER CUTE!!!


Here's some more little rosettes in white and aqua, smaller yellow vinyl tags, another bit of yellow doily trim and look at that awesome satin flower! I love it! I've given it a bit of a trim...


But never fear - I've used it right here! The off-cuts made a lovely accent - reminiscent of the Sydney Opera House, don't you think? :)

I've also done a fair bit of stamping and doodling on this one too.

I really enjoyed creating this and if felt good to get this subject down on paper! Look out Fiji, here I come! ;)

Do you have any new year's resolutions? If so, why not scrap about them? Or we'd love to hear about them! Actually I've just made up another resolution... use MORE Purple Pumpkin stuff! That's easy - so I'm not sure if that counts! LOL!

Well that's all from me for today, be sure to check out this month's sketch and DT examples right here - we'd love for you to play along! I really enjoy seeing everyone's entries and what all you talented scrappers do with PP's awesome embellishments!

Until next time,
happy scrapping!
Cheers,

Chantal

Promise...

This word is a word that i think everyone has used in their lifetime. And maybe a word that is very appropriate for the New Year to some...

My layout is based on the latest challenge word over at Bird Is the Word.

I love the bright and big felt/lace flower which was in my DT pack and of course the spotty blue button - which goes with all kinds of layouts.

Hope everyone had a great start to 2012.

What did you all think of the Jan sketch challenge???

I hope everyone can join in this month and make it the best month ever!!

Thanks for stopping by....

52 Week Layouts by Sar

I promised on my blog last week that I would be up to date on my 52 Weeks album by the end of 2011...

I NEARLY got there..missed it by that much! I have two layouts to go and I'm done...and I'm going to do my best to get these done today!

Here are the couple I did manage last week, the first on a scrap day with my gorgeous friend/workmate Carley & my bestie Alicia...and the other the same night when I was all enthused after the great day I'd had with the girls!

Week 46 - Weekend of Running Events
Me & my friends from the gym competing in not one but two running events back in November, both for charity, 10km the first day and 5km the next. Needless to say it was a BIG weekend for me exercise wise, but a weekend that I thoroughly enjoyed. I have used the November He's Savvy Kit for this one and thrown in a big red & white star Purple Pumpkin button in the bottom right corner.



Week 52 - The Photo
Myself & my gorgeous family on Christmas morning. This is a traditional photo that we take of ourselves every xmas morning and also on the morning of all the kid's birthdays. This year we NEARLY forgot the photo, and we even had to drag the bikes back upstairs to get them in the shot!


I have used the Sold Out Merry Savvy Brights Kit and mixed in some Purple Pumpkin embellishments, including a pink doiley & a bright pink & white spotty button.


The 52 Week Album is something I have now done two years in a row. I absolutely love looking back on my year from week to week, some weeks we had so much going on and some weeks it was hard to find something to scrap about...but all in all, the story is told and this is something my whole family can enjoy. You should give it a go for 2012, I guarantee you'll love it too!

Cheers,
Sar
