Mum's entry for Lime Tart competition

As Mum doesn't have a blog I am uploading this unreal LO she has done of my Great, Great Grandfather & Grandmother on their wedding day. The criteria was black, white and one other colour. I love the result. Check out the comp here - winner is picked by random and there is a December Full Tart Kit worth $59.95!!

Very slack....

A friend asked me on the weekend to see some of my layouts, which is great because it has motivated me to update my blog! It's pretty hard to fit 5 months of scrapping in 1 post but I'll give it ago. It's been a busy few months....been scrapping a lot more 12x12's and have really been loving the space to play and create. Mum and I also went to the Creative Edge classes in September in Adelaide, will post pics of our creations soon. Jxx

I made the flowers in the LO below. The butterfly comes from some material I found at our local sewing shop that I fell in love with.

This was for a pink, red and yellow challenge on The Boxx . I had been wanting to scrap these photos for AGES.

My Hanson Bay layout was a challenge to scrap holiday photos on The Boxx.

This was one of the first 12x12's I had done in a long time.

The next few are layouts done for the Scraptherapy Make Believe Masters Comp.

I mananged to win the round with this Layout:
I also had a crack at becoming a Design Team member on the Boxx, I was lucky enought to get through a few rounds, here are my entries :

Well, that's it for now - I know there are so many more that I haven't put up.....I really want to concentrate on some more of my Library of Memories for a few week and Christmas Cards. Jxx

So much for backing off...

I have nearly done a page a day since my last post! A couple 12x12's which I haven't done in AGES and I really enjoyed. Finally scrapped Gem's 2nd Bday from Jan...will post in the next few days when I get around to photographing. Here are the 8.5 x 11's:
this one below is for the ColorCombos Galore challenge this week:

I think I'm seriously addicted....

I think I have come to the conclusion that I spend WAY too much time scrapbooking so, I'm going to back off a little (at least until we get our new kitchen in!). In the mean time here are a few of my more recent creations...
This one here of Grant and Jack was for my Library of Memories homework. I have always wanted to scrap these and make this connection between the photos and thanks to Stacy Julian, now I have!! If you want to know more about Library of Memories/Photo Freedom check out Stacy's blog here.

This one was also for my Library of Memories (LOM) homework as well (All About US) I can really start to see Stacy's philosophy working. I found this photos behind the 'Mum and Me' tab in the All About US Drawer and was blown away that I had 3 photos a year apart so similar!

This one of Ma and Gemmy I created for my LOM homework (People We Love):

Pumpkin Pink

Check out these cute new zoo animal chipboard embellishments from Pumpkin Pink designs. My faves are the elephant, tiger and giraffe. There are endless things you could create with these little beauties. I love the fact you can leave them as is or personlise them to match your design. Head over and check them out...

On a roll...

Managed to get 2 LO's done tonight - not masterpieces by any means but I just wanted to get the memories down....The next 4 weeks I will be concentrating on LO's for my Library of Memories course....see Stacy Julian's website for more info.

Last night's scrap-a-thon...

Yesterday I decided I had too many photos, too many memories and not enough to show for the ideas I had - SO i decided to do 3 no frills pages with a 40 minute time limit for each...they are all photos from the last few days. I have been really drawn to the Project 365 for this reason - current thoughts and memories.....I want to do a lot more pages like this in the future.
