Manor House Share

Hi there everyone, I’m super excited to share some more Manor House with you 🙂

This layout was created using the wonderfully bold Glitz Design paper – one of my favs at the moment!! The photo was taken recently at Dream World where Caitlin adopted a Koala!

Close ups…

One of my most favs are the “Darling” flowers… soft butter yellow and pink and check the centres out… so so sweet!

There is always sooo much going on over at the Manor House blog so much inspiration so be sure to pop by and check it out.

October sketch for Purple Pumpkin

Happy day to you all!

Here today to share the last of my DT inspiration for Purple Pumpkin… It is with mixed emotions I share this layout as the past 6 months have gone by so very quickly and I have had the best time!! I have had to look at my priorities and cannot keep up with the 4 design teams I am on. I have also been doing this in my non-scrap world as I have been feeling so overwhelmed of late and honestly have just taken on too much of everything so I have made some tough decisions and let some things go. It has been hard but for the best and I do feel good about it… any-ways, off on a tangent there a bit… I’m sure you all “get it” 🙂

So, without further ado, here is the sketch created by the wonderful Crece Thomas.

As always, close ups first…

and the full layout… Now I know the title is in the “wrong” spot at first, it was just going to be “lovely day” which is in the right spot but I later added “Spring is” 🙂

Hope you all get a chance to play along in October.

thanks

Scrap Friends Sketch Challenge #6

October is here Yeah!!! I love October as it is my birthday month and I love love love birthdays! They always mean a lovely meal with Mum, another one at a restaurant with Chris and lots of pressies and also because Summer has just begun usually a trip away for the weekend! It was also our wedding anniversary on the 29th September so it is a busy and fun time of the year for us – and then there is Christmas just around the corner!!

To share today is the Scrap Friends Sketch Challenge #6 and here is the sketch…

and my take… I think it’s a bit different for me, the page is not so “full” and definitely not a colour combo I often use!! That is part of what it is about though, trying out new things and new ideas 🙂 and I am happy with how it all worked out!

Wouldn’t be a project of mine without a flower cluster…

I hope you all make the time to play along, I have a feeling this sketch will be a popular one!

Sunday Drive

Hi everyone,

Orange Paperie challenge time and I’ve made it just in time!!

This months challenge was a recipe and here are the ingredients:

1 x black and white photo – I used a 5 x 7
Ribbon – I have used some pretty Craft Queen ribbon and twine
Chippy – Hearts by Crate paper
Inking – Tim Holtz Distress
Distressing – This one was easy, I do this for every layout I do!!
and
a 2 word title – Sunday Drive

So this is how it all came together… so glad I got the time to play along, it has been a crazy month and it is so nice to do a layout just because 🙂

and close ups, I know you love to see these 🙂

I also wanted to let you all know that Scrap Friends is having a birthday sale on 1st and 2nd of October… You will find a huge range in store so if there has been a little something on your wish list for a while, now could be a fab time to get it!

Until next time
