Week 6

Over the weekend I was catching up on my 52 weeks of me album.  During week 6 I attended a corporate awards dinner.  The first one I've been to since starting my new job.  I now know why my boss was so insistant that I attend.....I won an award - go me!!  (I have blocked out my journaling - I don't want the world to know where I work)

Sketch : Inspired Blueprints
Materials: Storyboard Kit

Thanks for popping in to my little blog

For those of you that have been following our Alphabet Weekends, here is the layout for letter B....Bowling

I have used Last months Storyboard Kit and Inspired Blueprints sketch #66 for this layout.  Loved this sketch!!

Thought I'd pop in ....

and post a couple of my most recent layouts.

This is my entry for the Word Challenge at Challenge Heaven this month which is to use the word Happy in your title as well as use a scalloped edge somewhere.  This is my week 4 of my 52 weeks of me album using the Evanthe kit from Storyboard Kits and an old sketch by Inspired Blueprints.

 This is my entry for the Colour Challenge at Challenge Heaven which was to use Summer colours that are bright and fresh as well as using paint on your layout.  This layout is also my first in my new album called Alphabet Weekends.  A for Action Park.  Next weekend is B. Wonder what we're gonna do.

I'm enjoying doing the 8.5x11 layouts so much that I'm considering not doing 12x12 anymore.  It's so nice to do something different.

I know it's been a month since I posted anything but I did say I was taking a step back :)  If you're still popping in, please leave me a comment to let me know you were here.

White with 1

I had a fab scrappy afternoon/evening with Hayles over the weekend.  I did this layout for the White with 1 challenge which was to use White with Yellow and to journal directly onto the layout without the use of journal blocks/cards. 

I've used an IB sketch for this layout....love the way it turned out!!

WOW, That Cake!!

This is my take on the Theme Challenge at Challenge Heaven for this month.  The theme was an easy one...Birthdays with the criteria being to use a pic with a cake in it....I've got plenty of those to scrap!!

This one is of Abbey's recent birthday dinner with DH's side of the family and a couple friends.  My very talented SIL made this cake for Abbey and what a fab cake it was too.  Shame it took her about 5 goes to get it just right!!

I have used an old IB sketch for this challenge along with some of the Delovely range of papers I've had here for ages and finally have used up some more of them.  Embellies from Storyboard Kits.

My crazy husband

Another layout of Daniel...trying to do more about him so in years to come people don't assume I was a single parent lol

This photo was taken on our family get together on Australia Day this year. There are no BBQ facilities at the park we attended so Daniel bought a little travel BBQ to take along with us and he thought it was the best thing ever so now "we can have a BBQ anywhere!" - GREAT - note my sarcasm lol

{new travel BBQ for you}

He's such a clown at times, the cheesy smile on his face and the stupid pose crack me up!! Oops, forgot to mention, this was an IB sketch!

Sketch #51

I am trying to do more multi photo layouts to tell the story properly so when I saw sketch #51 at IB I couldn't wait to give it a go.


These pics are of Abbey and my nephew. These guys were born 7 months apart and have always been great buddies. You can tell from the photos how much they enjoy being silly together.

I've been enjoying using up some of my old Jillibean papers and alphas, some of these I've had for almost a year! Crazy to hold on to them and continue to buy new ones!! I'm sure I'm not the only person guilty of it though ;)

The 2 Jades

This is my entry for the KIU challenge for July. Scrapping 4-6 photos isn't always easy but once I found this great sketch from Inspired Blueprints and teamed it up with my kit from Storyboard Kits it wasn't as hard as I initially thought.

These photos of the girls aren't the greatest - I think my finger must have been in front of the flash but who says a photo needs to be perfect to be scrapped!?
