Little Shop Of Sketches

Here is the sketch for this week



And here is my take - I have used four smaller photos instead of one large one which I find is a good way to record events when the photos that were taken are not great quality and are to fuzzy to increase their size.



products used
My minds eye and scenic route paper
Queen and co felt fusion
American crafts and provocraft alphas
Junkitz and Beutron buttons
Jenni Bowlin journal spot
K and Co epoxy buttons

Have a go at the sketch and upload at Stampin' Scrap Gallery by the end of August and be in to win a rak at the end of the month. If you are not already a forum member you will have to register on the forum and in the gallery before uploading.

Whoo Hoot Wednesday

Its Whoo Hoot Wednesday again didn't do one last week as was waiting to include my first whoo hoot for this week.

Whoo Hoots for this week

I'm a designer !! Tanya Leigh chose me to be one of the designers for the Little Shop Of Sketches for the next six months which I'm really excited about - so you will see a layout from me every week using the current sketch.

The boys had there parent teacher interviews and they are doing really well - Brendan teacher thinks he is a delight and Christopher other then some mischief and toilet talk is progressing well.

My lovely Hubby sent me off on Saturday to have a break as I had a rough week with the kids and go to the movies on my own while he looked after the kids. I didn't see the first Narnia at the movies and so decided to see Prince Caspian and really enjoyed it - cool special effects. Thanks Andrew -love ya.

Scrapbook essentials has a sale 50% off almost everything and I got two sets of Fancy pants 12 x 12 stamps and today a set of their chipboard things that I would not normally buy as outside of my budget when full price - this sale goes on for three weeks - whoo hoo for sales!!

have a great week everyone - watch out for the new sketch and my layout soon!!

Kiwi Jack me up

The layout to Jack was chosen by Adele and is a layout by Yvette aka spagetti. I have used my new stamps again along with fancy pants paper and a touch of prima.

Scrapbook Dreams weekly sketch

The sketch this week was a multi photo one with lots of buttons. I have used a stamp from my new set of stamps from Scrapbookers Delight (see previous post) - it is from a Fancy pants 12 X 12 set that I thought I would never buy due to the price but they were half price at under $40 - I ended up getting two sets - the mod set and the garden set which I'm really happy about - now I have to extend my knowledge on stamping.

Here is the layout:

Sketchbook Friday Night Challenge

This weeks challenge was from a suprise Guest - Lusi Austin (I love her creations). The challenge was to use the following items -
A enlarged photo ie bigger then 6 X 4
Patterned paper
diecuts or punchies
handwritten Journalling
doodling
The twist was to do a layout in 15 minutes.

So I got a few things together - I already had a photo and started to go ahead but had to stop straight away as my glue got clogged up grrh. Started the timer and finished of my doodles as it went off.

here is my layout:



Products Used
Pink Paislee paper and diecuts - spring fling collection
Scenic route journal block (large one)
Kaisercraft and dream street papers for title

I'm so excited !!

I found out on Tuesday that I am one of the new designers at The Little Shop of Sketches and being bursting to tell but had to wait until it was announced (about a half an hour ago) on The Little Shop of Sketches blog.
I'm going to be working with lovely talented ladies - Tanya Leigh, Vicki and the other new designer Joanne Rasmussen for the next six months and I'm so excited - I've been haunting the Stampin' Scrap forum a bit waiting for it to announced.
