Project life wedding guest book.

So my sisters wedding was last weekend, and as you may remember, I was in charge of the gueat book which we had decided to do project life style. 

Well this past week I have been working on her gueat book.

It has come together really well, and I'm really happy about it.

My sister had a photo backdrop and props set up. We got some

Really good pics out of it. I had a brain wave to use the photo booth pics as part of her guest book. They were, after all pics of her guests and great memories at that. 

Once I decided to put the guests pics in the guest book along side their messages to the bride and groom, it all

Came together really quickly. 

I am in love with it, and wish I had discovered project life when I got married lol.

Her colours were gold and black, which was a great colour palette to work with :)

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping

Picture perfect

So I'm a little bit in love with this layout. Considering it is nothing like I was first going for, which is a good thing in the end.  

As I was doing this layout, I wasn't happy with how it was going. And I sort of lost the feel for it. But then I found this gorgeous piece of studio calico vellum and it came together really well. I was in love.

I didn't want to use the whole piece of vellum on the layout because I loved it so much and didn't want to use it up lol. But it was just perfect for this picture. And layered on top of the green, it was perfect.

I put this together using the August Scrappery Kit. With a little help from my silhouette cameo- my best friend.

Thanks for looking, and happy scrapping.

Scrapping again

So once the kiddies are in bed, I could get back to my desk again. I've had this picture from my mums birthday las week that I have wanted to scrap.

Now I have always been a 5x7 and recently a 4x6 pic scrapper. Only ever scrapped those 2 sizes. EVER.

So I was interested to see how it would turn out with a smaller pic. For this layout I used a 3x4 pic, and you know what? I loved it. I don't think the photo got lost in the page, it still looks just as good as it would in 4x6 lol.

So I started with my background. I saw a technique I have wanted to try in a you tube video. It's an awesome technique. I love my mist sprays and was excited to find a new way to use them lol. You put the ink on some scrap plastic then smear it on the paper. Turned out really good.

Then I added my phot and embellies and fiddle. I like this layout a lot. I stuck with black red and white and a little grey, I loved the black background in the photo and didn't want to take away from that lol.

So what do you think? :)

My MOJO is back to Stay....!!!

At last, after far far too long of being MIA, my scrap mojo is back, and this time to stay. Already this week ive created 2 scrap layouts, with plenty more in mind.
Its been so long since i sat down to scrap a layout, my mojo just went missing. After my nephew was born (7 weeks ago) obviously i wanted to scrap some of those gorgeous pics of him. The first layout i did was my favorite photo taken just minutes after he was born.
Since then my mojo has been back in full swing. :-)
Im also hoping that this motivation spreads itself to my blogging....
Im always complaining that i dont blog enough, and obviously this is my fault lol, so hopefully ill stick to my goal of blogging more often. Hold me to this lol.

This was the first layout id made in months. I love this photo of my mum, my sister and myself saying Hi to my nephew.

I decided to make this layout for my best friends birthday, as a present for her.
