Layout from my weekend away

I am so pleased with this layout that I did from a fab sketch provided by Eileen Webdale, a talented lady on the GoGo DT. Her original layout had 5 photos but I only had 4, so it is slightly different...but that is the beauty of a sketch....looking at all the variations. I have used October Afternoon "Detours" papers, Chatterbox "Artylicious" buttons, plus some from my stash. Prima Bling "Wings" and Doodlebug "Loopy Lou" letters in the swimmingpool colour.

I had such a productive weekend, I completed my final entries in two CJ's and did 2 DT Layouts for August (which I cannot show) plus this and one other layout (which I will show tomorrow).

Today Georgia and I are spending the day together...I missed her so so much. She drew me a picture and on the back she told me how much she missed me.

I will be back shortly with a couple of cards I made once I got home yesterday...it was just too hot to sleep, so I stayed up late....AGAIN!

Latest Layout

I decided to scrap for myself last night, and this is my page. I have had a couple of these Heidi Swapp Clock Overlays since they came out, and for some reason I have been nervous and unsure about what to do with them. Last night I just went for it...and this is what I came up with.

I used...

Bazzill Cardstock & Heart Cardstock
Scenic Route Loveland Papers, Diecuts, Stickers & Chipboard
Heidi Swapp Bling & Clock Overlay
MAMBI Bling
Lips Sticker from an Etsy Seller

I really enjoyed myself, being able to use any products without restriction is fab....I am even using my bling without wondering if I can replace it...LOL (although I did order more last week to restock (but it was different).

LO's from the Crop

I am really pleased with both of the LO's I did at this months MKScrappers Crop. I had an idea to use all my SPS pictures to make a sort of "Book of Me" and scrap each picture that I take. It took me a while, but I love this LO. Every LO that I have seen using the pink scalloped circle has placed it cut in half and vertically on the page, and while I love that I really wanted to make mine different. For the first time ever I used loads of my favourite products and didn't care if I used them up...I promised myself to not dash online and replace all the finished items

Materials used: Bazzill Cardstock, MM Noteworthy paper & glitter diecuts, MM glitter letters, HS chipboard, bling, acetate clock & journal spot, Fancy Pants crochet blossoms & button, MAMBI bling star and the crochet wings were from eBay US.
The other LO I did was of Georgia. I love the photos that David took of her when the went out together while I was cropping back in September, the sun in Georgia's hair is sooo lovely.

Materials used: All Creative Imaginations "Caution Girl"

My first non DT work in a month...

Today after all the stress has passed I decided to do a little scrapping...just for me...without limitation. I love my ScrapaGoGo kit and the work I do for them, but sometimes it is nice to do what you want and not worry about whether I am using things that are not in the kit.

I really should be getting on with chores, but decided that I needed some me time.....Anyway this is what I created and I am pretty pleased with the results, and even more so with the photo. I took it with my Nikon D80 (Maz...that bit was for you...) and my new lens. I take all my LO pics in the kitchen. I have 2 sheets A3 sheets of white paper stuck to the wall and then attach using blue tac. Normally I have trouble when the weather is dull and the light poor, as the pictures come out blurred etc. The new lens made a huge difference today and every picture taken was great even without a tripod.

Materials used:Doodlebug papers and glitter rubons, MM chipboard buttons and clear shapes and the title was stamped using Doodlebug foam stamps and black stazon (for "Trick" and "Treat") and Doodlebug stickers for the "or", the stitching effect was done with a black uniball roller.
