Friday Sketchers - Sketch 17

I have had a busy weekend preparing for the arrival of the Plumbers to do my bathroom. But I did manage to find a little time to out this card together for Friday Sketchers....and finish off my ScrapaGoGo DT work. Anyway, back to the card. I have used a couple of hAnglar & stAnglar images, I think they call them students. I got them from http://www.inkywings.com/. They very occasionally have a few stamps that they sell for H&S...and I was lucky enough to get a couple of sets (and shared with a friend). I have used my ProMarkers to colour the images and added a little Sakura clear glitter gel pen to the buttons and the girls hair and necklace. The sentiment is by Hero Arts, and to get it to echo the circle, I bent it before I put it on the acrylic block. The flowers are by Prima and the buttons are from my stash. All the papers used are by Sassafras Lass "Serendipity".

July 2008 ScrapaGoGo DT

So a little late, but here was one of the designs I did for ScrapaGoGo with the July kit. I loved this LO as I included an envelope on the back of the layout which flaps over to the front and contains extra photos uncropped and stitched onto cardstock with my sewing machine.

Also over the weekend I gbot my first glimpse of the August 2008 Scrapbook Trends and my Urban Lily Secret Keeper Mini Book made the cut and appeared as a double page spread...and I think it looked fab. I was so overjoyed that it made it...Now I am just waiting for my copies, goodies and mini book to come to me.

ScrapaGoGo June DT Work

So I am a litle late this month posting pics of the things I did with June's ScrapaGoGo kit....so here they are...

This was another lovely kit to work with, and the DT came up with so many wonderful designs....and all so different. Click on the link on the right>>> and go see.

April 2008 ScrapaGoGo DT work...

I was really pleased with my designs this month, and received lovely feedback. Firstly I did this layout of my DD and her friend with a halloween picture. Although the picture was from halloween it really works well with the MM 5th Avenue range that was in the kit.

My next layout featured pictures of Georgia taken in the park...snotty nosed and still darn cute.

And finally my PDF class for this month was to make a mini book from the MM Journalling Book. This is a great way to make a quick and easy mini book for those of you that are nervous about making your own. All you need to do is remove and use some of the pages, add pictures and decorate. It even has a cool acetate cover that you can decorate....how on trend and it is already there for you.



This month kit is equally as lush, a mix of papers from Sassafras, Prima, Scenic Route, Pink Paislee & Luxe Designs. If you want to find out more, click on the ScrapaGoGo icon to the right and check the kits out.

August GoGo Create...

Well as all the subscribers would confirm...the kits just keep getting better. I really loved the Kelly Panacci Q&A papers in this months kit...so much so that I had to buy more. Here are my creations this month...

I was inspired by these papers to let Georgia journal on my LO. She did such a wonderful job, and I am left with a wonderful keepsake of her writing, and the things she loves.

I had wanted to do a round LO since seeing one on the Pencil Lines Blog, I completed my first one at the Thornham Retreat and loved them so much that I did another with the August Kit.

Another first for me....a 6x12 LO featuring Hannah, Georgia and James...such a cheeky picture just begged to be scrapped.

And my final item was using the large Bazzill tag that came with the kit.

I thoroughly enjoyed using the August Kit, as I am sure all the subscribers are right this minute.

Work to share...

OK, so as promised here is a LO I did @ Thornham....my first ever round LO. I have been wanting to do one since there was a round LO as a Pencil Lines sketch months ago. But have only just plucked up the courage to have a go. So here it is...

We were supplied with the challenge kit at the crop, which were papers from the ScrapaGoGo July kit. I added the felt which I stamped on with Stazon ink...love the technique of stamping into fabric, and will be doing it again soon. Also added some HS Bling Words...I still love them....I have now used up the packet and need to decide whether I NEED to order more...I mean a girl can never have too much bling!!!

Here is one of the LO's I produced with the July ScrapaGoGo kit. Been a little slow to share them...too be honest I just forgot.

All the items used here were contained in the July Kit, I cut the swirls on the reverse of one of the sheets of patterned paper and from a sheet of the pale blue bazzill, using my QK Revolution. Whenever you create designs for a kit or shop, you really hope that people like what you do. So when one of the lovely ladies wanted to scraplift this layout, I was pleased to be able to loan them my QK Revolution to cut the swirls. In moments of self doubt I think members don't like the work I do. So when one of the kit members told me that they always check out the booklet and clubhouse for my work first, I was over the moon, and very proud and honoured to be part of such a wonderful group of women. I think the fact that we have such different styles makes us such a rounded group.

So my other LO is of Georgia when she was just a couple of months old. I also used my QK flower die to cut the flowers from the papers included....gotta love Fancy Pants...so pretty. August's designs are now complete and I should have Septembers kit with me by Monday/Tuesday.

Hope everyone is enjoying the lovely weather.

June ScrapaGoGo...

I can now share the layouts I did with my June ScrapaGoGo Design Team Kit...so here they are. First there is a double page... Here is a layout that I did of David playing in the park...

And finally one that never made it into the PDF classes, or the Design Booklet. But was done using almost all the contents of the Go2Pieces, plus some paint from my stash...

I have have also done one with the ScrapaGoGo Charity Kit. Kits will be leaving GoGo heaquarters tomorrow, so not long for subscribers to wait now... If you haven't bought the Charity Kit yet, get your butt over to http://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/ and see if they are still available, Lorraine and Janice are donating all the profits to the NFA...it is such a good cause..go on check it out. David has a half day off work and is coming home at lunchtime, we have decided to go to PizzaHut together for lunch, something we rarely get to do alone. Georgia is off on a School Trip to Bedford Butterfly Farm. She has been before about 3 years ago, but cannot remember, so I am sure she will have fun, it is such a shame the weather is so bad though. Anyway, I have to get ready and off to work via the school to drop off Georgia...so will be back later.
