Shop and Crop

Good Morning, today I am here for Shop and Crop.  This month I was lucky to do my first Cropaholic Kit contain loads of fun items and the stunning Flutterby Design Wild Bohohiem. 

I have to say I had loads of fun creating these layouts and step by step tutorials and theres nothing like getting a little bit messy when you scrapbook!!!!

I will share some sneaks of what you can create with this kit it comes with step by step instructions on how to do two layouts........ To see the kit and the full layout pop over to the store.

I also throughout the month will be sharing layouts, and other ways to use your leftovers so nothing goes to waste. And at the end of the month there's a bonus step by step tutorial that you all can see  using the left over kit and the new Tim Holtz Distress Crayons in store now!!!! 

Whats better than that?

Want to make your mist have an ombre`effect? Mist first then grab a Faber Castell Gelato and rub it over the top of your mist to give you a toned look.

Dont you just love these Pink Paislee Cedar Lane Arrows? The perfect finishing touch!!!

I hope you feel inspired and till next time have a creative day.

Trying to catch up......

Wow where has the week gone? Its been a hectic one, teacher - parent interviews, run the kids here and there where some canvas orders to finish, design team work, Ethan's Birthday and today trying to catch up on the household stuff plus the computer work that needs to be done!!! 

Ok while I breathe, today I am going to share with you a layout that I did for a cyber crop over at Scrap Girls Retreat - Easter at Home. I am very proud of my efforts I have to say I might get another one or two challenges done before it closes.... I also managed to nearly finish the Maggie Holmes Flea Market papers and embellishments in my stash too!! ! I think I have about 4 sheets of pattern paper left so thats not a bad effort, mind you that mind go into the pay it forward pile..... I have done a total of 6 more layouts with it.

So starting off with not challenge number one but the first one I really got excited about..... and its been awhile since I have let my Prima Diva play so what a perfect time with this stunning moodboard, so plenty of flowers and even the old resin stash got a work out this time.

Leftovers

Good morning, its rent inspection day, have been up really really early .... zzzzzzzz.  I could do with a nap but at least everything is done now I wait till they get here. So what else to do? Cant really create :(  might as well catch up on the blogging part of the creating.

So today I am going to show you a layout using my favourite Websters, Ocean Melody range to date I have already used it for 5 or 6 layouts before and  I honestly love it (I have done another 4 layouts), this time using some leftover pieces -it feels so good getting the little bits on a page and I am still sticking to doing  multiple pages with a range.
