Scrapbook Kits May Inspiration and sketch challenge

Check out this month's sketch and inspriation challenge at Scrapbook Kits

http://scrapwithv.blogspot.com.au/

This gorgeous sketch is courtesy of the lovely Jules

I decided to do a double layout with the sketch challenge because I had a heap of photos of the girls on a recent trip to the gold coast. I used some left over Sassafras Lass scraps and created the background with glimmermist, stitching and ink. I also used Kaiser rub ons and thickers

Scrapbook Kits May Kits

Here are two layouts that I created for Jules at Scrapbook Kits for May

I used some gorgeous Prima patterned papers and flowers, plus heaps of other goodies.

And I was lucky enough to get another kit off Jules, using some very cute Jillibean patterned papers. They are so lovely, and I was really happy with how my layouts turned out. One uses only patterend paper and no cardstock and the cirlce layout uses only cardstock with no patterned paper

Here is my girly layout. I am very happy with how it turned out.

Southern Girls challenge #41 Add a sentiment or quote

The theme this round at Southern Girls Challenge blog is "Add a Sentiment or quote". Our lovely sponsors this round are Buggaboo, Fred She Said and Eiglassing. I have used a Fred She Said image called Emma and Rosey. And my printer has run out of ink so unfortunately I couldnt print out any of the digi papers from Eiglassing. And with moving house as well, I have now packed everything up. Here is my layout that I created

I got a bit happy with some paint to create a background, it was fun :) I also used kaiser patterned paper, a zip, string, K & Company sticker, felt buttons, prima flower, crochet doily, kaiser bling and droplets, papermania journal block and thickers.

Scrapbook Kits March inspiration challenge

This gorgeous picture is the March photo inspiration for the challenge at Scrapbook Kits http://scrapwithv.blogspot.com.au/

And here is my layout

I am extremely happy with how this turned out. I used sassafras lass patterned paper, and some cheap paper that I have had for ages. I embellished it with vellum quotes, american craft thcikers, kaiser alpha stickers and roses, prima flower, and chipboard pieces. On the layout I included two little pics of Will and Alyce, who's wedding we were at when the photo was taken. And on the back of the layout I have stuck on their thank you card that they sent us

So why dont you give the inspiration challenge a go, or the sketch challenge
