Week 2 Layout Challenge

Here is the layout I did for the second week of the challenge. The border on the left is a row of punched circles. The chipboard title has been heat embossed with copper embossing powder & held in place with 4 brads. The photos are mounted to the right hand side of the page & a buckle & ribbon are placed just up from the bottom edge.

CLASSES

These are a sneak peak at the cards for February & the classes are being held at the Greenbank Scrapbook Shop. Love is in the air so giving a card to someone that you care about is a great way to remind them that they are loved & valued.

FEBRUARY KIT-BELOVED

This is the layout for the February kit. It is available from the Greenbank Scrapbook Shop (32001832) & we are running kit classes on Tuesday 9/2/10 at 7pm & Friday 12/2/10 at 9.30. There is a link on my blog to the shop so you can click on it to see the calendar & find out what is going on there.

LAYOUT CHALLENGE

Here is the layout for the first week challenge. I have had trouble uploading the sketch but the LO is fairly easy to copy from. The small photos are 10cm square & are matted on the one piece. The sketch had the title where I put the fish skeletons and the embelllishments at the bottom. The skeletons are chipboard that has been inked with 2 different coloured inkpads. You could coat them in dimensional magic for a raised glossy look. The journal block & title are pre-made. I also used metal embellishments to add texture. So, have a go & happy Scrapping!

Happy Hearts!

Wishing you all many "Happy Hearts" for February. That means thinking about the things that make you happy & bring you joy....then actually making them happen! Something that brings me joy is listening to the rain on our tin roof-and for the fact that we have tank water & that every drop counts! The photos are part of the challenge. I couldn't decide between the quilt I made or the timber hand for "handmade" . The cupcakes & the teacups are for "sweet" because they are all so sweet! My motto to living a joyful life is "Live well, Laugh often & Love much"

Just a note!

Ok I forgot to mention my bargin buy from the new year. Dave & I went to a second hand shop to look for hidden treasure & these teacups were what I found. They aren't antique or name-brand but they are very cute & make a nice addition to my teacup collection my Nan gave me years ago. They were $3 for EACH teacup, saucer & cake plate set. I haven't actually used them yet but I have them on the sideboard in my bedroom where I can admire them & hope David brings me a cup of tea in bed!! I have an antique bed tray which I will have to photograph. It is quite solid & even has a book stand.

Photography challenge

These 2 photos are photos that I took as part of a photography challenge. The one on the left is titled"hats"( my hubby's old & new hat) & the one on the right is "beginnings"(it is the beginning of making plans for our campers)
There is a theme for each week of the year. I actually end up taking more than 1 photo

so I can scrap them (what else!!) & make a challenge album. Well at least I will keep up with the photos and I don't know about the scrapbooking-I'll add it to the list! LOL! The next photo is titled "sweet" & I've taken a photo but haven't downloaded it yet. You are welcome to join in on the fun & have your own challenge. Happy snapping!
