Scrapbox Monthly Sketch Challenge

I didn't think I would get this one done but yesterday while at my LSS I asked about basic grey's Marrakesh and porcelain ranges because I had read on their blog they had them in - I hadn't read it properly and the official launch was only next week but they allowed me to buy some so I got a few of each range. When I first saw these papers on line I didn't think they were that great but now I have seen them in real life they are my favourite Basic Grey Lines. If you want to get the papers and other products Scrappin' Patch has just got them in at great prices (though the current shipment of Marrakesh is presold but there is more coming) - they also have heaps of new cha stuff including Prima goodies.

So last night I did the Scrapbox Challenge using the porcelain papers I got - they are so pretty.

Inchies and ATC's

Over the last few months I have been involved with a few ATC swaps and Inchie swaps at scrapbook Dreams and one at SBBD and have not shared won my blog.

My first ATC swap was Fairy Tales and here is what I got (the bewitch one is mine)



My second swap was flora and fauna (mine is the one with the felt tree and stamped bird)



The third swap was to use a photo on a ATC - mine is the NZ themed one



The fourth swap I hosted and it was a celebrity swap. I did Johnny Depp movies and kept the sleepy hollow ATC.



Yet another swap saw some christmas ATCs being done and a summer ATC swap as well. My Christmas one is the reindeer one (it has been damaged) and the big stamped sun is mine in the summer swap.





Our favourite Drink was next - mine is the Zero coke one.



My last one that I participated in at Scrapbook Dreams theme was bugs and mine is the one in the centre



My first one at SBBD was cats - I chose the tiger as it is my favourite cat.



I have done four inchie swaps at Scrapbook Dreams - 3 three inch ones and 1 one inch lot. Inchies are similiar to ATCs they are just square and can be more dimensional. The little ones theme was little things and I used a little bead shaped like a ladybug. The black and white set I have put on a black canvas - with mine being the creative heart. The other themes are Christmas (green with stamped Christmas trees)and rainbow (green was my colour).










Thanks for looking

Week six Stars in their eyes - Beate Style + another layout

The layouts have been revealed for this part of the competition and they are stunning - I'm glad I'm not judging. This part of the challenge was to scrap in the style of Beate a scrapbooker in Norway whose favourite style is vintage. I think it is one of my favourites too and loved doing this layout and my paper pesto kit for February arrived just in time so I could use the papers and flowers from it. I found some gorgeous lace trim in an Emporium in Tuaranga and some roses on a ribbon from Stamp and create in Milford which were perfect for this challenge.
Here is my layout:



The next and final star is Kelly Goree which should be interesting and very different from this challenge.

And here is my layout for SBBD monthly sketch.

Photos in flicker

You may notice some photos in my sidebar these are not current layouts I am in the process of uploading all my layouts. So my very first layouts will be in my gallery as well as the most recent as well as everything in between - it might take me awhile!!
