Catching up!

Apologies for lack of posts but decorating and general "life" has gotten in the way which is why I was so glad to finally getaway to a scrapbooking retreat last weekend. I went with the intention of completing kits/layouts that have been needing to be done for years....hence some very old papers..lol! I also had some classes whilst I was there which was great, they are almost all completed but just need photos etc so thats my next job. Over the next few days I will post the ones that are all done and dusted and ready for their albums.







The first layout I did for a sketch challenge at the retreat.....it uses SEI Grandmas kitchen. The second layout is one of my own from the rest of the kit. These papers are so old its not true but I still love it and thankfully even after 2 layouts I still have some left!!


If you are coming to my next class on saturday week, then by tonight I will have the photos sizes for you. I have posted a picture on the side bar of the papers we are using for you to get an idea on colours.

SEI Alpine Frost

Another simple layout using the SEI Alpine Frost collection, the die cuts were all in the kit and I made some snowflakes with a Cuttlebug die-cut and added some glitter. Ribbon is from Stampin'Up!, brads from stash.

Uggs

This layout is of my sons girlfriend Kylie when he surprised her with her much wished for Ugg boots last Christmas. The layout is based on a Pencil Lines sketch and everything on the page is from a great pack of cardstock and papers I brought before Christmas from SEI called Alpine Frost. Its not cheap...£25.00 but its a big pack full of co-ordinating textured white core cardstock, glitter and pearl papers and cardstock as well as a full sheet of die cuts. It will last me ages and the colour tones are beautiful and a little but different from the normal christmas ranges you see....more a winter theme really. The title was made was Thickers chipboard alphabets, in a red pearl so tie in with the papers as they are pearl effect as well. I added some cream velver ribbon from my stash on the tag and used a punch for the corners and a quickutz alphabet for the year.

Still want to complete a few more Christmas layouts then I am going to get back to day to day scrapbooking.

Have a great Sunday.
