Some layouts...

As promised, I am happy to share some more layouts with you. I'm so glad that I am enjoying creating again; and I just want to keep doing more and more.

These layouts are inspiration layouts for Scrappin' Patch, using some of the lovely, gorgeous Websters papers.

On this first page, I handcut lots of lovely pieces from the Garden Gala Refreshing paper, and layered them. I also made the lollipop flower from the Postcards from Paris vellum paper. The layout is all about how Aurelia loves the outdoors and collecting bugs.

This page uses the Garden Gala diecut paper, and a lovely big Prima flower. I really love the photo; Aurelia and her Daddy going on one of their 'dates'.

Ok, I would like to write more, but it's late again and I must go to bed... lots of scrapping to do tomorrow, and hopefully I will have more to share soon. 'Night!

Websters Kit for Scrappin' Patch

So here it is, as promised, a sneak peek of the kit I have just finished creating for Scrappin' Patch. Using mostly lovely Websters products, from their Seaside Retreat line, there are 4 layouts included in the kit. It should be available from the shop later this week.

Two of the layouts are seaside/ocean/fish themed, and the other two are more pretty and flowery.

Ok, I'm so tired I can't even think straight, so that will have to do for today. Night! Back soon with some more layouts to share.

Prima, Prima, Prima...

You may remember from my last post that I recently made up a Class Kit for Scrappin' Patch, which has now sold out. I was very lucky to play around with some of the new Prima products from the Raspberry Tea line - such gorgeous papers! - along with some Prima chipboard pieces, pearl and rose swirl and flowers. Here are the four layouts I made:

I made the flowers using some pretty pink organza, and covered the chipboard butterfly with crackle paint and glitter.

I love the bright colours in this one; they were perfect for this photo and theme I've been wanting to scrap for ages.

I did lots of handcutting for the layout above! I just love the frame that was part of one of the papers, and it was perfect for this layout of Aurelia on her 5th Birthday.

For this final layout, I made lollipop flowers from brown organza, melting circles of the fabric to seal the edges and raise them up a little.

I am busy creating a new Class Kit for Scrappin' Patch, and I will have a sneak peek of that for you soon, along with another layout, so keep your eyes peeled!

Have a great week.

Long Time Gone...

Have you heard that song by the Dixie Chicks?? Pretty relevant here... I've been very absent, and pretty non-creative too, but luckily, things have changed in the last month or so. The pills must be kicking in!

I've had a bit of a scrapping spurt, and thought I would finally blog again and share some of the layouts I've made... if anyone is still reading my blog, that is!

Adrienne and Pauline from Scrappin' Patch recently asked me to make up a Take-Out Kit for the retreat/shop (which I think is now sold out), and sent some items for inspiration as well, so I will post those layouts to my blog shortly.

For now though, I have the following layouts which were made for Prima Build-A-Page monthly competitions. Neither of these layouts were winners, but the first 'Curls' layout did get a mention on the Prima blog, here, which was quite exciting! I'm sure you know how much I love Prima, lol.

Made using mostly lovely Prima products, of course! And, as usual, photos of my darling girl - can I help it that she's so photogenic? I love the baby photo; she was such a cute, roly-poly, gorgeous wee girl. As for the Love The Curls layout, I wanted to scrap about her curls because, as she tells me, when she is grown-up, she is going to straighten her hair! So at least I will have the memory of her curls... why is it we always want what we haven't got? And noone told me that girls were so looks-conscious at such a young age. Talk about 5-going-on-15!!

We are in Tauranga with my sister at the moment, and Aurelia is having a fantastic time playing/arguing with her cousin, Gaby. And I am enjoying spending time with my Sister, so it's all good. Looking forward to getting back home though, and scrapping some more layouts.

Ok, that's it for today. I have at least another 6 layouts to share with you, so I will be back! In the meantime, have a great weekend.
