123 Scrapbook

This is my LO for 123 Scrapbooks December Challenge. I really enjoyed doing this LO. I used my stamps that I got for Christmas.

Scrap Therapy - Scrapping with the Stars Part 7

Ngaire Bartlem's Challenge. Create a layout, tag, or Off the page item incorporating a decorated Christmas tree. I took a photo of our tree and created a LO that would be the title page for all my Christmas pages this year.

Scrap Therapy - Cybercrop Challenge

Create a LO using given template and scrap a favourite recipe or moment/toy from Christmas.

Use a element from a given image to create a LO. I used the word "happy" as inspiration for this LO of Jack eating beef ribs.

Create Christmas Card using a the title of a Christmas Carol.

Scrap a Christmas LO using non-traditional Christmas colours. Ysabelle putting the star on the tree with the help of her dad.

This is my LO for part 6 of the Scrapping with the Stars Challenge. The object was to use your newest photograph and newest papers.

Scrap Therapy- SWTS Part 5

This is my LO for part 5 of the Scrapping with the Stars 10 part challenge. Object was to create a 3D LO without using flowers.

Kiwi Jack Me Up - Challenge #7

This is my entry for the Kiwi Jack Me Up challenge for December 07. Jack loves going into his dads workshop and playing with the powertools (sharp bit removed of course!). Wanted to do a nice colourful LO with these pics.

Finding time to scrap

DH has been back from sea from just over a week! He is time consuming (in the nicest possible way! LOL). I have all these LO's to do and the last day of the month is tomorrow! Guess I will have to miss out on several cahllenges this month. Can only make time for the Scrapping with the Stars Challenge on Scrap Therapy. Have to do the 5th challenge by Monday I think for the 3D challenge. If DH is going to put this much of a spanner in the works imagine what is going to happen in the school holidays when DD is home too! Oh help....

Scrap Therapy - SWTS Round 4

This is my LO for the Scrapping with the Stars Round 4 Comp. Challenge was to use material or lace and use at least 2 patterned papers from different companies. Thought I would do a special page for Ysabelle. Belle went to a Highland Dancing Comp on the 17th of November and won a couple of silver medals and ribbons for her efforts.

Scrap Therapy: Scrapping with the Stars - Part 3

Did this for Scrap Therapy's competition Scrapping with the Stars part 3. Challenge was to creat a LO with a theme of your current goal. I used Kaiser Scrapbook Paper Flowers and Wood Flourishes, Beutron Buttons, American Crafts a la Carte Hummus paper & Baguette paper, one heart...one mind Wall Street paper, Light blue Cardstock.

Scrapping with the Stars - Part Two

Had to do a layout that had handwritten journalling as the central element and had to have red on the page. I decided to do a "me" LO as I haven't done any pages about me! Was a bit difficult as I am not a journalling person as I hate my handwriting so usually avoid any writing!

Scrap Therapy - Cybercrop Challenge, part 1

Use complimentary colours from the colour wheel. I decided to do a Christmas LO as I have so many Christmas Photos to do. This one is of Belle when she was a year old discovering the joys of Christmas.

Scrap Therapy CyberCrop Challenge- Part 3

Had to do a challenge based on my starsign colour which is Blue-green. Found some pics of my school friends and thought I would do a LO of them. Don't know what happened to Julia or Toni, Natalie died a few years ago, I have been in touch with Jennifer, and Melissa and I still keep in touch frequently. Wow that was about 14 years ago!

Aussie Scrapjacked

This is my jack of the Megan Stephenson LO. It is quite rare to get a photo of Belle and Jack together like this - Jack has far too much energy to sit still normally. Took this photo when we were in Dubai. Have always liked the colours in the photo and wanted to do a LO that brought out the pinks and greens in it. Going out for coffee so I best drag myself away from my scrapbooking!

Scrap Therapy- Scrapping with the Stars Part 1

This is my entry for the Scrap Therapy 10 part challenge! Had to put my thinking cap on. Didn't want to make it too fussy but didn't want to make it too simple either. It was a good challenge to do though.

Jack at 2 weeks old

Did this LO quickly last night - decided that I have to start doing something with all the baby pictures!

NZ Dare Jack 32 - Scrap a Mood

Just had to do another Jack of the layout for this photo of my cat Toby relaxing.

NZ Dare Jack #32 - Scrap a mood

This is a photo that I love of my sister and her husband. Thought it was the ideal photo for the NZ Dare Jack Challenge.

"Jack Me Up #5"

Not to be outdone by my sister Beverley I thought I would try my hand at a "Jack"! (Actually got inspiration for two pages from it but this is it. Just got some photos of my grandparents and my parents wedding so thought I would "marry" them all up. Progression from then to now - then being smaller because it is more distant I suppose you could say. Biggest one is mine and my husbands as obviously it was more recent. Oh well that was fun - nothing like a challenge to get you inspired!!

Mum and Dads Wedding

I am pretty pleased at how this turned out. Wanted to do something a bit special for mum and dads wedding photo. Just got the grandparents weddings to do and mine - I should do all the siblings to - guess that only means I have 7 more wedding pages to do - more if I do multiple one for me! Guess I better find some more layout ideas!!

Belle

Finally picked up the courage to conquer a pretty page for Belle - was even brave enough to put some flowers on (wasn't so hard). I found that my local scrapbook shop had a lovely range of papers called "Baby Cakes". Nice dark Save Nowpinks - not too candy like. Got some Bella! Chipz for the lettering which I painted. I really like the velvet shapes that you can colour with chalk pastels to suit your project. Very happy with how this page turned out!

Jack and I

Wanted to do a simple layout for this. I only had one photo as someone gave it to me. Need to find some big letters for a heading I think - just need to find what I want which is the hard part.

Jack's Birthday

Photos from afternoon present opening. Need to find some big letters to complete!

Jack's Birthday

Photos from the morning present opening session.

Animals

These are an assortments of pets that belong to friends of ours in NZ. Anna is our puppy though.

Vacation in New Zealand

Like this layout - used it for the orphan possum that I looked after while in NZ.

Vacation in New Zealand

Yes and I even went to a scrapbooking shop while on holiday and got some paper!

Scrapbooking pages from Dubai

This is one of my favourite pages which I made of the photos taken of Jack playing with the inground sprinklers system by the apartment playground. They would come on without much warning and create much amusement for the kids.

These were taken on our Visa run across the border to Oman. Strange going from desert to mountains! Again no Journalling yet!

These photos were from the playground near the apartment we were in. The kids loved to go there.

Scrapbooking Pages from Dubai

These are pages of photos that I took when we were at Jebel Ali Beach in Dubai. I really liked the way these turned out - the colours and the simplicity. This was from a layout in Creating Keepsakes.
