Another summer layout!

This layout was so much fun to do ….
again I’ve used Sarah’s Cards February Kit …
I’ve distressed and inked the edges around …
I’ve stitched the scallops and used that as a line to write my journalling …
I’ve used a Magnolia stamp and coloured it in with my Promarkers …
I’ve stamped and embossed the title … it’s a unity stamp from the October kit.
Watching the girls this year learning how to jump rope was truly inspirational …
they bring so much inspiration to my life!

Once again I’ve borrowed my friend Katerina’s Sizzix die, and I’ve been cutting out pumpkins and ghosts to make up these cute bookmarks for my students and the other junior students to assemble.
Orange, green, white, black canson paper … fiskars threadwater punch, Magnolia Happy Hallowe’en stamp, and that’s it … can’t wait to see my students in action!
range, black white and green …
These are the colours of Hallowe’en!!! Cheesy Cheesy
Happy Hallowe’en everyone!

Summer Fun 2009

This is an accordion book that I’ve made as a gift for my Sister-in-law.
I’ve used Sarah’s Cards January Kit … they had amazing papers inside …. Daisy Bucket In the Meadow Collection … the feel of these papers were like material! 🙂
I’ve used MM stamps, Papermania swirl stamps, Unity stamps, Nestibilities, rubons, and some birthday sticker shaker boxes which I found locally at Jumbo. The Ribbon was also part of the kit!
I’ve been feeling very creative and hope to have some more things to show you!

Two layouts and a card!

On Sunday I was visiting with friends, having a creative day together, and I managed to create 2 layouts, and a card.  Not the most productive on days, but I was happy to get something done.
This first layout, is about my mom …
Boy do I love her cooking, and the fact, that wherever she is, with whatever she has, she’ll able to make do, and create fab stuff … as you can see, she doesn’t have a bowl or a mixer, but a chocolate cake she was able to make … I, being a gadget freak need at least 3-4 gadgets before I even get started! LOL
Papers are Cosmo Cricket – Early Bird collect … from Sarah’s card September Kit,
the sketch I got from Inspired Blueprints, it was sketch 9.
The second layout is my take on Scrapbookers in Greece Challenge no. 3, which was to use the sketch also taken from Inspired blueprints …
papers again, are from the same Sarah’s Cards kits … 🙂
Finally a card I made, will have its details on my Magnolia blog …
also part of a challenge on the Promarkers blog, also I’ve been so busy,
that I didn’t get a chance to add it to their blog! LOL
So that’s it for now, hope to have more stuff to show again soon!

A Birthday card

This is a card I made on Saturday … for a friend …
As Saturday was Make a Card day, I thought it was a fitting thing to do.
The papers are from Sarah’s Cards January Kit …. brilliant papers … Daisy Bucket – In the Meadow Collection.
I used a tutorial … can’t find the link now, but when I do I’ll edit this post.
NOTE: The tutorial for the card can be found here
The butterfly is a nestibility and the stamp in a Unity stamp!

Happy October!

First of the month today, and I woke up very tired!
Thankfully the weekend is close upon us ….
I didn’t get a chance to do anything creative,
but at some point my Mom called and asked me to take a photo of her in her greenery ….
So here are a few shots of our ‘crop’ on the balcony and of course
my own ‘fairy’! 🙂
