Sketchy scrapping

So as you can tell by my recent previous posts, christmas is a bit of a theme on this blog atm. 

I love christmas. I already have all my chriTmas stuff out all my supplies :) 

Have set up for my december daily and even did my cover today- which I will put up on another post :D

But I realised I'm a few years behind in my boys Christmas album. I scrap a pic for each year in a special Christmas album I picked up one year.

So using a sketch from scrappy Canary. This is what I came up with

I love using sketches

For inspiration. I find it just flows so much quicker :)

This was the sketch.

So whY do you think? :)

Can't wait for the festive season.

So as you may have guessed, I'm in a rather Christmassy mood a lot lately. 

We love Christmas here, and with all the fabulous christmas ranges comming out, I'm buying more then I dare say I will use for the next few years. But I just cant help it, they are so perfect lol.

So I've been making a lot of Christmas cards this year- yes I started early- it's a great way to get a good Christmas fix before the festive season is upon us lol.

Well today I started making another card. But I was loving it so much that I couldn't possible give it away hahahaha 

So I decided to keep it and will use it in my December Daily album.

Now please tell me I'm not the only one to have done this lol

 

What you think?

I'm still perfecting my embossing, so it's a little dodgy- haven't embossed in years, but I still love it.

Happy crafting

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

Creating in a hurry :)

So my sisters wedding is this Saturday. I've finally got the bridal table glasses done and etched (how I love my cameo), put together the props for the photo booth and made up the sign about the Instagram tag.

Then an hour ago, I remembered that I was also meant to be doing the guest book.

So for the past hour I have been creating my butt off.

My desk is a bomb site.

But I'm really happy at how it turned out. 

Thanks to project life, it is going to be an easy make. Using a project life mini album and aome PL cards, it's a pretty good idea for a guest book :)

The guests are to write their messages on PL cards and I will put it together at a later date.

 So I only had to do the first few pages. Now I tell you what, thanks to my picturemate and my cameo, it was a breeze!!

I love the alphas in the clear pocket with the pic on the next page showing through.

So it is all done ready to go to the decorator tomorrow. I'm pretty happy with it.

December daily album flip through

TSo last year I did my first ever December Daily. Since I'm already getting into the Christmas spirit early this year and getting excited for next years December Daily, I thought I'd show you last years album :)

I made a video if me flipping through it. Very basic lol, and yes I apologise in advance, that is Hanson's MMMMBOP playing in the backround :D

Music Max is having a top 150 number 1's lol.

Time is flying by...!

So we all have those moments when life gets busy. Barely have time to sit let alone create lol.

September is already shaping up to be a very hectic month. This weekend is my sisters bridal shows, then next weekend is the bucks party ( that my hubby is looking forward to I think lol) then the weekend after that is the wedding.

And I can just imagine that this month is going to go super fast because of all this lol!! 

So I'm hoping I don't get to far behind in my project life, I have some awesome pics I can't wait to put in my album, and on top of that SOME TIME this month, next week if we believe the rumours, the new Heidi Swapp project life collection is set to come out! So I'll be stalking my local ( and by local i mean 20mins away).

So September is shaping up to be very interesting! :) and we all know that after this, the year will just fly by!! 

I'm already loving all the Christmas collections comming out and have even already ordered my December daily kit lol.

Time flys....

Happy crafting

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.
