February kit

On Saturday I had my monthly scrapbook class, this month we used Bo Bunny Vicki B papers and embellishments. The first layout entailed some sewing and the use of my EK Success circle cutter. The leaves are a Marianne Branch Forest die and the flowers are made with the stamp set from the range. The explore was cut on my cricut. This months kit included a pack of chipboard embellishments. The ribbon is just cream seam binding ruffled along a piece of double sided tape.

I always try and make another layout up with the pieces that are left over and as I had a circle frame left from the first layout, I designed the page around that.

This kit is the one that I am doing on the 25th at the shop, so for the girls that are coming to that you need a 6x4 landscape photo and then a 6x4 portrait photo and 2 smaller ones approx 3x2. If you want you could put a little pic inside the chipboard frame. Photos for the scond layout could be added after.

Keep warm

January Kit

Today I had my monthly scrapping class and this was the double layout I designed using the January kit.

Papers and stickers are all Echo Park Seasons Greetings. I had some cardstock left and plenty of stickers so I made another layout with my scraps.

This is the same layout we are doing next week at Wickford. I have used a 7"x5" on one side and and 1 6"x 4" plus 4 3" x 2" landscapes on the otherside. The single layout is another 3 more 3" x 2" but you could use a 6"x4" as well.

A little time to scrap

I hope you all had a great Christmas....just before the cookathon kicked off for Christmas Day I managed to snatch a couple of hours to do a bit of scrapping.  With all the cards done I like to spend some time over the holidays to scrap photos of past Christmas's that I have not used yet.  It also helps trying to make some indent in the mountain of Christmas papers I have!!

These photos are from a day out James and Kylie had last year to the Christmas market in Manchester last year with friends. These papers are from Pink Paislee and the colour combo is very different, I brought them last year before he went and amazingly they match really well with the photos they took!!

The collection is called Mistletoe and Co and for the title I used some Prima chipboard alphabets, everything else is from Pink Paislee.



Canvas class

This month I taught a canvas class at home and in the shop instead of a layout. These are ideal to give as gifts or keep yourself.  The paper range is My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2 Sunshine and I used the 6x6 pad. The flowers are Tim Holtz Tattered Florals die and the border punch is Martha Stewart Arch Lattice. I used a Nestabilities tag to cut out the "adore" and then added a few brads. The canvas was primed and sealed with Mod Podge and I added some lace and pearls to the flower centres. The title was a Tim Holtz alphabet "Vintage Market" which I covered with matt accents and the leaves were Martha Stewart Frond punch.

In2crafting class

Today I had a wonderful class at In2crafting, the theme this month was heritage and the layout used the Bo Bunny Timepiece papers and stickers. I have just got some new Tim Holtz dies and they worked really well with these layout. The swirls, hinge and key were all die cut with Grungepaper and then coloured with Distress inks. The flowers are from the tattered flowers die.

I try and make another layout with the leftovers, so this is what I came up with by just adding another piece of plain white 12x12.  The corner stamps are from the same collection and I used a more upto date photo to keep with the time theme with the generation to generation stickers that in the kit.  The clock is also a Tim Holtz die again on Grungepaper and inked with Distress inks. The flowers are from the Spellbinders Carnation set, I just added a few brads in the centres.

Next class is on Saturday 10th December and will be last one until late Jan 2012...its a layout on a canvas, great idea for a Christmas present....there a few places left.

Novembers kit

Today I had my monthly scrapbooking class and we used the fabulous Summers End range from Fancy Pants. Quite alot of cutting out but I think its worth it. I used the Stampin'Up Sizzix cut and emboss Buttons die with some scraps to make the buttons. The frame has been cut on the cricut using the Elegant Edges cartridge. Stampin'Up twine was used on the tag and I managed to get two single layouts out of the kit.

Have a great weekend
