Formal Layouts Finally!!!!

Here they are, completed four pages of my formal photos today!!! There will be more layouts soon, as now Ihave all the time in the world to keep on scrapbooking, haha. I have used plenty of bits and pieces on these layouts, just to keep digging into the never-ending stash.

The Scrapping Is Back!!!

Ive finished all my exams and tonight is Graduation!!! So, today I started scrapping again!!!
And here it is
This page unlike every other page does not have a title, I just couldn’t fit it in the right place and decided that the photo has the title I want for the page. A Bella! large black polka-dot flower in the bottom left corner with a Heidi Swapp Writers Block was put in the centre of that. On top of the writer’s block there is a Heidi Swapp heart shaped mirror with a black flourish on it. This I have decided to put my journaling on, I printed it out from the computer, cut the lines into strips and inked the edges in black. This is over the top of the mirror and block. Above the journaling flower is a piece from Hambly Screen-print which has a hot pink gem flourish. In the bottom right corner there is another hot pink gem flourish with buttons, a flowers and metal butterfly. In the top left corner it is similar there is large buttons, a flower and a metal butterfly. Underneath the photo is a scalloped cut strip of Kaiser black and white dot paper. I have done nothing with the photo on this layout. Usually it is defiantly matted, sanded or distressed but I left it all natural!! Haha. The cardstock used is a scallop shaped Bazzil.

Finished

Ok here are some of the photos everyone has been wanting to see. Friday night to the next morning was my school formal. Here’s a hint of the photos taken. I cant put them all on here because there was so many taken, quite over a few hundred!!!

Underwater World

Last week, Simone, Karl, Megan and Casey (friends of ours) and I, drove to Mooloolaba and visited Underwater World. Yes I was so excited as I just love all animals under the sea. That is except walking on seaweed, that just freaks me out. Well we had a great time there and even got some enhanced photos. Here they are:

This one has a fault though, Simones arm has been eaten by a Shark!!!!! Well that is what we created as a joke, the photo wasnt edited right but i'll fix it, with Photoshop haha

There was also a chance to have a 3m Carpet Python around your neck

Plentiful Pocket Pages

These are some of the layouts you can create if you come to my class on October 17th from 1.30 to 3.30pm create a unique page with pocket for photos or memorabilia using the We R Memory Keepers divided page inserts. These pages are great if you have lots of photos all based around the same theme or event. The class cost includes one of the page protectors so just bring your usual scrapping stuff and plenty of photos to work with.

Seems to be that I do so many layouts on the cats.....hmmm

Ngaire Inspiration

Yes is taken a while to put it up here, but this is the page I created while being in her class at Blossies. I had such fun and completed once again another page on Little Molly the kitten. Check out Ngaires blog at http://www.scrapblogmebaby.typepad.com/

Proudly

The background piece is one from one of the newest Bella range, the pattern is flocked. Photo matted in French Vanilla. A large piece of lace is across the bottom, and is gathered up in one section. Three crotched flowers are next to the photo with a smaller brown flower and a white rose in the centre of that. The definition of “proud” was ripped out of a dictionary page and placed near the three flowers. The title is made up of different chipboard letters, all painted in Island Sand by Jo Sonja and then covered in dimensional magic. Journaling was done along the bottom edge.

Heres some close ups:
