Some scrappy stuff for a change :)

I've really been inspired by some of the gorgeous projects that Liz has posted for the 2nd birthday celebrations at ScrapBoutique.

I saw this project on Jewls' blog and just had to have a go. I loved how easy it was to make, and only took about 30mins. I didn't decorate it much, as the papers were doing that nicely. Don't you just adore these gorgeous papers!! They are definitely my fav's of the moment!

Then I just wanted to keep scrapping... but the kids woke up! So, I set them to work cutting and pasting some of the goodies in their "useful box", which I created this card (another one of Liz's projects). I just adored this flower and will definitely be using this technique again soon! PS notice the super old papers I'm using up here.

Shopping list.

I have been really enjoying our little scrap nights with the playgroup girls. We had so much fun just yakking away, none of us got much scrapping done, but I guess we all need the outlet, and a night away from the kids!

I made this cute little shopping list clipboard on Tuesday night, while we were chatting...

I used a scrap piece of cardboard covered with Sassafras Lass PP and added a magnetic clip (from the newsagent) so I could put it on the fridge. I attached my shopping list. I still need to attach a pencil to it with a ribbon though!

Some new work

I've been trying to get a few of the challenges done this month at Scrap Pile and here's some of the outcomes...

This is for Deb's Purple colour challenge and I have also used the PP from this month's Design Team Kit.

This birthday tag is for Jewls' weekend tag challenge


This is the outcome of Melanie's partner challenge. I had so much fun with this one, as I rarely scrap myself. Thanks for the challenge Melanie!


Here's a simple little card I made for a friend of Erin's. I am really loving those little cupcake stamps! I also added a little flap (which opens under the photo flip).


I also created this door hanger for Erin's room from the Design Team kit this month.

Cherish

I can hardly believe our little girl is turning 1 on Saturday! To celebrate, I have created this canvas for her room!


Mind you, it's been in progress for about 6mths. I inked the canvas with Brilliance ink and lightened it in the centre by applying white paint while the ink was still slightly wet. I love the effect, although you can see it better in real life.

OTP Challenge

Just sharing my latest project for Scrap Pile. My challenge from Friday night was to scrap a "Highlight of 2007" on an off the page item using something from your stash that you bought in 2007 and haven't used before.

Here's the front cover of my sample project...



I used an old washer I had lying around that I'd bought from Bunnings as the name plate on the top right and some Doodlebug paper frills inside that I'd never used, but had sitting on my desk.

You can view the entire book in the CyberCrop Gallery at Scrap-Pile.

I'm looking forward to seeing all the lovely entries - due Friday midnight.
