Aussie scrapjacked

Dana's layout called "free ride" inspired me this month. The elements are all there except I only had one peg so I used a paperclip.And my Dymo tape is too wide so I used some Bella accent words cut from a transparency.I painted the tag on the left hand side by using a lace doiley and dabbing through it.The butterfly is punched.

Scrap the boys

Christopher is a mad Parramatta supporter even though he is only 8.He was showing us how well he can kick.Of course he's wearing his Parramatta hat.I wanted to use all 5 photos on this plus the colours of blue and yellow.The blue border goes around all 4 sides,the scanner cut it off.

Scrap the girls

I saw this SEI "Groovy Gal" paper and knew it would be ideal for this layout. Scrap the girls has asked for multiple photos and polkadots.

There are spots on both the specialty papers as well as the journalling tag.I think the prima pearl florish also highlights the spotted effect.As Annabelle was wearing orange in these photos I tried to combine the pink with a touch of orange.She cettainly had a busy day last Christmas and seemed to be popping up everywhere.These were 3 photos I managed to catch.

More cards

Here's 4 more cards I've made using up leftovers.

The first has a scrapmatts sleigh inked gold plus a Dear Santa tag from Kaisercraft,The second has an owl sprayed with glimmermist sewn on and bling for eyes,the third has a kaisercraft wooden sleigh and the last 3 cut out Christmas trees.

Not only have I made cards this year,I have almost written them already so they are nearly ready to post! I like getting in early.

meeting Melinda and Chris

Here's Melinda and Chris from Scrapbooking'n'craft.I met them (again) yesterday at the papercrafts festival.and the second photo is me with Melinda.I had a great afternoon shopping and being inspired.

Bird is the Word wish

This photo typifies the word wish...blowing out candles on her birthday cake.I used lace and fabric for the background.Misted a doiley then cut it to shape for an umbrella.I made a flower from narrow ribbon and a button,added an old fashioned picture, plus a negative from punched flowers and there you have it.

Christmas cards and a banner

I've been busy preparing for Christmas by making a banner using scrapmatts chipboard shapes.They are stapled on to coloured ribbon which I tied along the curtain rail.

I've also made my first 3 Christmas cards using scrapmatts and kaisercraft shapes plus in one case kaisercraft clear stamps.
