What's your Style?

Is there a certain style or page layout for scrapbooking that you seem to keep going to?? There is for me and it is frustrating me!

I do a lot of 'L' shaped layouts with a strip of PP down the left of the page then ribbon or embellishements down the botton going to the right. I was trying so hard today not to do ANOTHER one..my first layout I succeeded but my second one I just ended up giving in. If you scroll through my blog you will get an idea of what I mean.

Here are todays 2 layouts using some of my new papers :)

I will be teaching 3 classes at the Scrappin' Outback retreat this year. My Friday arvo class is ready to go but I am yet to design my other 2. I am inlove with the papers I have here to use though...will drool over them for a bit longer ;)

I Have Been Shopping!!!!!

I had the most awesome opportunity to shop at Scrappin' Outback yesterday!

We headed to Hyden for Matt's 3oth birthday yesterday arvo..which was AWESOME!

Karen opened the shop for me and left me to shop ...and boy did I shop. I can't wait for craft group tomorrow now so I can have a play...now to find photos :(

Here are my new goodies....

12x12 pad of Core'dinations, white bazzill, Kraft Cardstock and White Embossed dots bazzill.

Cosmo Cricket 'Early Bird' and 'Girl Friday' packs

Little Yellow Bicycle 'Baby Safari' for a canvas for Mum of Ella.

Basic Grey 'Lime Rickey' to go with some scraps I have.

Basic Grey 'Lemonade'

Basic Grey 'Offbeat'

October Afternoon 'Cherry Hill'

Basic Grey chipbaord alphas, buttons, my first bottle of Glimmer Mist is 'key lime pie', and a brackets border punch.

That should keep me going for a while :)

The Motions

Was inspired by this song last night...first I got out my guitar to learn to play it then I scrapped it...love this song.

These papers are the challenge pack at Country Scrapbooking this month..love these colours!

Not Very Productive

We had our craft day at the church today...after a long break. In 3 hours I was only able to complete 1 layout :( My problem being my lack of photos!! I really need to get onto that so I can start thinking about my classes for the Scrappin' Outback retreat.

Here is the layout i completed. Those gorgoeus flet accents and ribbons are by Mindy Terasawa.

This photo is of Bree right before our Youth Service on Saturday night. Ashlee picked her clothes for her :)

Jarah :)

Look who I got to have cuddles today with...Jarah Bell...at 10 days old. He's amazing!!

Everyday Memories

I have been painting toilets at the church all afternoon so I thought I would sit and relax while doing a digital layout while Murray snoozes on the couch :)

Here is my digital version of our school holidays..this one focuses more on the friends my girls had over.

Holiday Layouts

Over the school holidays I tried to take photos of what we got up to...all the friends the girls had over along with other stuff.

This is the layout I came up with...

and this layout is made with the photos my sister-in-law took on their weekend getaway to Dromana last year.

These layouts are for a Cricut class Karen from Scrappin' Outback is teaching next week in Newdegate. I got to use my new Home Decor cartridge :D

Relaxing Saturday Afternoon...

For our youth group end of term break up we took the youth to Perth to go rock climbing...

In this layout I used BG Recess paper and painted grunge board shapes.

I have 2 more sets of papers that I bought today so I might be back later on with some more layouts :)

Tag Challenge??

At the last Scrappin' Outback retreat Karen gave us this cute pack to use for the name tag challenge, but I didn't get to create mine...so when I was cleaning out my craft cupboard on Monday I saw it and thought I would use it for a layout. Everything is out of the pack except the cardstock and the journaling stamp:)

It is a bit messy and random for me but I really enjoyed making it :D

Check This Out!

Look what I have just been blessed with!! Wow..how awesome...now to go have a play with it!

If you don't know what it is, it's a cartridge for my Cricut machine :)
