Jedd and Ted.

Last month on SCRAPS OF US there was a competition to design a sketch and then the winning sketch would be given to the Design Team to create a LO with.

The winner was LG Belarmino and she created a great sketch. Its really interesting to see how each person interprets a sketch and each DT members LO is quite different to the next.

I can never stick 100% to a sketch I like to have a look at it and then work from the picture in my head and just kinda let it happen.

Any way here is my take. If you'd like to see the sketch and the other DT girls LO you can find them HERE on the SOU blog. TFL.

Sketch 15 on Scrap Your Heart Out.

Hello everyone. Here's my latest LO for the 'Scrap Your Heart Out' Challenge Group over on 'The Boxx'.

It was my turn to pick this weeks sketch because I won the challenge for week 13.

I chose a Becky Fleck sketch and here is my interpretation.

How cute is that little camera charm! I just love it. I purchased it from HERE My 2 Angels.

If you like using charms on your LOs I recommend you stop by and have a look . My 2 Angels have a fantastic range and lots of other great scrapbook products too.

OK that's all for now. Ill be back later with some more things to share. TFL.

A few new buttons.

I just wanted to share a sneak peek of some of my new buttons before I load them in my Etsy shop.

There will be yellow frogs and some brown squirrels coming soon too. The squirrels go really well with the new 'Nutmeg' pps by Cosmo cricket.

I just couldn't resist sharing these. I think they are so cute.

Now that Ive built my stock up a bit more I'm going to finally host my give away soon, so stay posted if you want to be in the draw to win some of my embellies.

These buttons will be available for purchase in the shop by the end of the week.

I'm also going to offer something extra at no charge for the first 5 customers to purchase something from my new shop.

If you are interested in having a look at the other buttons I stock just click on the picture on the right hand side.

I'm still new at this and the shop is pretty small but I have plans for some more embellishments and maybe some packs with different co-ordinating embellies. TFL.

Christmas is just around the corner

Chloes challenge this month on SOU was to design a Christmas card and use a stamped image on it.
I am the SLACKEST when it comes to getting my Christmas cards done. This was a great incentive for me to get started though. Well at least Ive got one done.
We are taking the boys to visit Santa or 'Ho Ho' as Tys calls him this weekend. lol. So Id will have some photos to post off with my cards and some photos to scrap.
I'm pretty sure that Jedd will not be overly impressed with the thought of sitting on Santa's lap but some times they make for the funniest photos. Tee hee.
I'm half way through a LO for this months 'Out of the Hat' challenge and Ive been working on it for about a week now. I just cant seem to make it work but I'm determinded to get it finished. All most there so Ill have that to share soon.
In other scrapping news, it was my turn to pick the sketch for the 'Scrap Your Heart Out' challenge on 'The Boxx' this week so now I just have to complete my LO for it.
I still have those other LO rattling around in my head that I want to get down on paper too and a couple of other challenges I want to participate in this month. WOW Im exhausted just typing about it all. LOL. TFL

Too Cute.

This is a LO I completed for 'Scrap your heart out', sketch 13 over on 'The Boxx'

Ive been AWOL lately and I thought it was about time I joined in again. I loved Melissa choice of sketch this week. Id always wanted to try something like this with all the strips as a background.

I'm not overly happy with how it turned out though. I like the colours but I'm not happy with the placement of everything.

It just seems a little lop sided to me any way. Here it is.

I was a bit cranky this morning because the little cherub pictured above broke my trimmer. GRRRR! I couldn't possibly do with out a trimmer I mean I could do it the old fashioned way with a craft knife and a ruler but wheres the fun in that. So I went out today and bought myself a new trimmer. Wow I didn't realise what a dinosaur my old one was. LOL.

Loving the new one its a bright pink Cutterpeade. I'm feeling very spoilt now and cant wait to try it out.

To be honest I don't think the old one cut 100% straight anyway. Well that's my story and I'm sticking to it.

I'm on a mission to make some Christmas cards next week and theres a few LOs rattling around in my little head and a few I want to get done on Scraps Of Us. So hopefully Ill have more to post soon.

Hope you are having a great weekend. TFL.
