my last LO's for 2010

The last of my layouts for 2010

this first one was supposed to be a sketch BUT well i was concentrating so hard on

extra criteria i forgot to follow the sketch oops!

THIS is the sketch LO i was supposed to do!!

From Bons DEC CC

a just because LO i did before Christmas.

This was the Scraplift for Bons DEc CC

how much fun was it Lifting this talented girls' LO. Love what Chantal does with her alphas!

So that's it for me for 2010!

Happy Scrapping in 2011!

And a very Happy New Year to you! 

All set for tomorrow.........

Well i think i'm organised for Christmas!!!
And it's only the 30th of November. That is unheard of for me!

This morning i finished off the last few presents i needed to buy. The majority of gifts i wrapped a week or so ago!!

 i've amazed even myself.

The past 2 years i've scrapped a Dec. Daily album and really enjoyed the process so decided to do another this year.

I finished organising the foundation for my December Daily album at the Crop4aCause a couple of weekends ago. so i have some pictures of it to share.

The cover is a Teresa Collins chipboard album.

And the pages are a mixture of a heap of different brands

MME, Kaisercraft, Websters, Teresa Collins, K&Co and lots more but i've forgotten now. hahah!

I used somePapers i had in my Christmas stash.

And i bought some new release ones that appealed to me

Mostly traditional type papers.

i've used lots of transparencies and opaque pages this year.

Love them!

And as a go through the month i'll probably embellish some more.

                                               Most of the pages are about 8x8" so
                                 i'm thinking of probably using a lot of 5x7" photo's and collages

i may also print out journal boxes from some Ali Edwards digital overlays

i bought a couple of year ago.

So now i just need to keep up with at least a photo a day for the next month.

i'm hoping to update it every couple of days.

Nov Kraft it up

This is my Layout for the Kraft It Up blog

This month was about creating a lo with a focus on decorative

edges. 

so out came my punches, I {heart} them. i used some of the MME 

Fine and Dandy papers and chipboard embellishments. 

Thanks for your comments i really appreciate them:)

November 1st stuck sketch

Hi.

Well it's half way through the month and i am finally starting some monthly challenges.

Yay, i managed to get 3 done in the last 24 hours.

This one is for Stuck sketches (nov. 1st sketch)

what a great sketch it came together so easily.

love it when that happens!

I used some Lilly Bee Papers.

and some Basic Grey Alphas and embellishments.

Back later with some more LO's.

finally finished....the mini.

At Bons Scraps retreat in October i started this Mini album taught by Bon Johnstone. Well two weeks later i finally finished it and am really happy with this little keepsake of our recent holiday in Sydney.
Sorry some of the pictures aren't the best, it was very difficult to photograph. Most likely because i had so many pages in the 'mini'!  Sixteen pages actually, eek.  It started out as just a few photo's of my daughter and morphed into my favorite photo's from the whole week we spent at the beach!!

Because the album was quite bulky by the time i finished i made this little clasp

out of buttons and twine.

I made a hole in the cover of the album and pushed the back part of the button through

then used this paper clip to hold it in place.

Then repeated the same on the back album cover and wrapped twine from one button to the other.

Clever? Well i think it's pretty cool!

Love the look of transparencies in mini's.

Maggie didn't venture much further into the water than this but boy did she

enjoy chasing and running from the waves.

oops i lied she did get right into the rock pools!

In fact she said 'It's so warm i could live here!'

                        

Push-ups?

Somehow i managed to get an awful lot of photo's of Maggies Backside!

she did a lot of digging in the sand. Oh and

my poor beach Babe Andy, trying to get warm

Any wonder he was cold after swimming in the ocean

in the middle of october, bbrrrr!!!

unfortunately the boys lost this footy while we were away.

Just one more to add to the tally of

 footballs that have gone astray.

So there you have it. Hope you like!
