Over at the Crafty Life blog they had a colour pallet for their September Challenge! Such beautiful colours, I was attracted to the blue, grey and deep orange … so I looked thru my embellishments … picked up a photo from an envelop on my desk and had a go!!!!
Here is the inspiration pallet:
Here is my take on it:
It was lots of fun to use my stuff for this layout … a favourite selfie of myself and niece from last Christmas holidays!
Journaling on tag, that slides under the photo ….
Some rubons to add depth and dimension … used my stapler to attach title!
Have used difference size foam pads to raise elements differently for interest!
I hope you like this layout! Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Saturday night I realised that I would be meeting up with a friend on Sunday who was celebrating her birthday!!!! So I was inspired to make her a Birthday/fused/pocket letter-type of a card!!!!
I wanted only the front to be decorated … and I used bits that I had already cut down … I grabbed a few embellies and a sticker sheet with lovely birthday quoted!
So here is the front …
Here is the back ….

Something totally different today …
Here is something that I made for the entrance wall at the school where I work:
The children love to see their photos on the wall … I was behind and had photos up from 2012 … Yikes, but one of my goals is to be more organised this year ….
I created another single board with photos from Christmas 2012 … so will show you soon when I get a photo of it! 🙂
Happy Weekend everyone!!!

I was invited to a Tea Birthday party for a special friend, so apart from her gift I decided to include something handmade … I didn’t want to make just a card [I’m not really good at making them\] LOL so I decided to make a card but Pocket letter style!!!!
Here is the front:
You can see lots of tiny confetti pieces … I’ve fused shut 5 of the pockets …
and here is the back:
In four of the pockets I’ved added some useful goodies!!!
Here is a link to a video that I’ve made is you want to hear what happiness sounds like!!! LOL

Do you remember my last post way back in March of my Snakes and ladders rug???
Well, I finished it by stitching some numbers on it, then my Mom finished it off by sewing ‘patching work style’ a border all around it, adding some padding to it, and a back to it, so that it could be used as a game ‘rug’
Here it is finished:
So I was able to find pawns and a dice and gave it to my nieces and nephew as a gift!!!
The totally loved it and played with it … I’m so happy that they enjoyed it!!!!
Thank you for dropping by!

Heidi Swapp who a greatly admire for her drive to preserve moments and memories, started a 30 day challenge on Instagram and Facebook on August 2nd.
I quickly put together a minibook by cutting pages up in my sizzix, and decided to take part! It made recording my summer holidays all the more interesting!
Here is the simple cover I made:
… and a couple of interior pages ….
… and the link to the video that I made:

I have always felt that scrapbooking is all about preserving the memory, so I was very happy to take part and complete this!!!

This month the Craft Garden Blog has a sketch challenge from PageMaps … I totally love the sketch and find it very inspirational!!!
Here is my take on the sketch:
A photo of myself and my friend Michael, taken on my last day of holidays!
I wanted to use the heart element in the sketch, so I used my bigshot to cut from transparency heart shapes to fuse together and fill with bling … here are some close ups of the hearts:
Some more details are the washi tape and elements from my latest Paper Issues kit!!!
I hope you are inspired to play along with us … you have until the 29th to add your link!
Have a great September everyone!!!
