Iphone and Made with Memories????

I am new to the iPhone world.... I can hear people gasp.... I know shocking I was one of those people for years that said I don't need an iPhone.... whats the big deal about it?  Well I stand here in front of you converted and ashamed of my above comments..... I love my iPhone I don't know how I ever lived without it especially with Hipstamtic and Instagram..... 

It has been great to play with these apps and even more fun to scrapping the photos.

First post for Stix2 Anything....

Hi, there and I am excited as this is my first post for Stix2 Anything and my first tutorial I have ever done so why don't you pop over to Stix2 Anything blog and see how it was done.

With the heat over here in the West seeming like it will never end I thought that it would be great to do a layout about Summer, I knew what I wanted to do and hoped that it wouldn't get lost in translation (and you will be pleased to know it didn't). I hope this helps inspire you to get creating with all your summer photos.

Preferred scrapping medium

What inspired you to begin your creative journey?
I have been madly obsessed by scrapbooking for almost half of my life. I never thought that a hobby that I took up as a teenager would still be fulfilling as an adult, but I continue to be inspired day after day. My children Tristan (10), Ethan (7) and Amelia (2) feature often on my pages and I treasure every layout. I also scrapbook because I love photography and like the idea that future generations will get to know me through my pages.

If you were to describe your scrapbooking style in five words, what would they be?
Creative, layered, graphic, stylish and arty.

What type of camera do you use?
Canon 500D saving for a 5D

Where do you do most of your scrapbooking?
At home is where I scrap the most I have a custom area for my scrapping and sewing supplies.

What time of day are you most creative, and what inspires you to create?
Usually when my youngest is having a nap and on Sundays when my usual inspiration hits me.

Why do you love sketches?
I love sketches because they give you a great start point that allows you to put your own interpretation on them and even though the sketch is the same every one's layouts look completely different.

Check out this gorgeous layout Rikki created based on Sketch no. 1!

First layout for the New Year for Made with Memories

My first post in the New Year for Made With Memories, and I must say I was a little bit excited about playing with the new range that they had brought into the shop and when you see it you will feel the same.

I have had this photo in my stash for awhile, and have been a bit afraid to do anything with it because I love the photo and I do mean LOVE, I worried if I every would have the right paper? , what embellishments do you put with it? these where questions that would go unanswered for under 2 years.

 Am I alone out there with this dilemma or have you had this trouble? and have you gotten past it? or is it still in a box waiting to find the perfect scrapping supplies?

Sawyer's Place Sticky Paper

So its been a busy couple of weeks and I am a little bit sad that is nearly 2 weeks in the New Year and that means the kids will be going back to school soon ( I know what your thinking I am not one of those mummies love the school holidays, I love spending time with my kids and especially love the fact that I don't have to do school runs). So now that it has simmered down after the Christmas/ New Year rush I have some things to share with you from Sawyer's Place....

Sawyer's Place has been in creative overdrive over this holiday break, with alot of new editions.... starting with 2 new washi tapes, Rourke's Rounds and Sawyer's Place Sticky Paper.

I wanted to share how easy it is to create invitations with these new products, especially the sticky paper, just measure peel off the backing and stick it down and it is that easy....

Welcome to 2013

Well its here the New Year.... 2013.

A time to set goals and try to achieve them, so my goals this year is to; be more organised, to stop the procrastination, also I am going to do the photo 365 challenge this year (rather than photographing of layouts with photos in it) and to grow my blog followers and to participate in more online challenges.

So the with my New Years resolutions in place I would like to share my first challenge for the year. Inspired Blueprint has decided to start up again after a very long break and with that they are challenging people to rediscover there 1st sketch ever, I must say I love this company it is one of those challenges that gets you to do at least one layout a month.
