One more for June

Hi there,

Just popping in to share one more challenge entry for this month.
I must admit that I now have two extra backgrounds in my stash to use, as I kept changing my mind about this one!!! But the good thing is next time I want to use pink on my background I won't have to wait for it to dry lol
This one is over at Scrappingclearly and was another mood board challenge (loving these colours together):

And here is my attempt:

This photo is a selfie we took at the 1D concert we went to last year! It was Lilys' first ever concert and she loved it (and secretly so did I).

Thanks for dropping by xx

Jot

So I'm guessing that most of you by now would of heard of the Jot Magazine? If not you should follow the link and have a look! It's fabulous!
Not only is it a great online magazine, they also have regular mood board challenges and tutorials on their blog. Their are some really talented ladies on the Jot Team and I'm sure you will find something over there new to try.
This month I decided to try their mood board. Its a really nice one, kinda peaceful looking?? Unlike my son who I scrapped about lol (always with the funny faces)

And here is my layout:

And a couple of close ups:

Thanks for looking and have a great Thursday!!

Finding the love again

So it seems that after attending an art journalling class at Scrapbooking From Scratch with the super talented and inspiring Lisa Oxley, I have found my love for scrapbooking again. Don't get me wrong I'm still trying to fit it into the everyday, but I am consciously making an effort to do something, no matter how little, crafty each day!!!

So this month I have been playing and experimenting in my art journal, no photos of that, and also have completed a few challenges. I'm hoping that I can get a few more done before months end :)

First up is the Kraft+ Challenge. You had to use Kraft+ Jigsaw puzzle pieces. And here is my entry:

So I chose to cut my photo into a jig saw piece and also my title is inspired by the challenge.

I'm trying to use my handwriting more. I'm not a big lover of my writing, but I'm trying to make myself use it!!!

Next up was a challenge at Off The Rails Scrapbooking. It was a Monochromatic Mood Board Challenge:

I went with the black and white.

And a few close ups:

Thanks for stopping by and hopefully I'll have more to share with you soon xxx

Kraft+ April Challenge

Hi everyone!!

I've popped in to show my entry at Kraft+ April Challenge. It's a Black and White Challenge using this mood board for inspiration:

And here is my entry:

Not much scrapbooking has been done lately as we have been on family holidays at this gorgeous spot:

Woolgoolga, New South Wales!! And this was the view from our camp site, not bad hey?!

Thanks for stopping by x

Trying again

So one of my resolutions for 2016 is to scrapbook more. 
It seems like 2015 flew past and my lack of motivation, and my ability to procrastinate hit it's peak. That and renovating, working full time and life in general just got in the way of much me time.
Anyway a new year and new possibilities are here!!!
So to get me started I decided to join in on some challenges and hopefully this will kick start the mojo.........

This one is For the Scrap the Girls challenge: It was a whatever you like challenge this month. There is also a sketch you can use, I twisted it a bit. (seems like I forgot how to take photos of my layouts!! I better google how to do it properly!)

Next up I joined in at Scrap the Boys. This month there was a mood board to use as inspiration:

And my layout:

And lastly the challenge at Kraft Plus Challenge: This one you had to HAND WRITE on your entry. I hate my handwriting! There are so many people I know who have gorgeous handwriting, but I missed that skill!!

I have mixed my title ups with my own writing and stickers plus I have written some journalling on a tag that is hidden under my photo.

Thanks for looking and I AM going to have more blog posts this year!! (well that's the plan) 

So long ago......

Wow where has time gone?!
January this year was my last blog update ...............
And this one will be quick as I completely missed the deadline for the challenges, but I'm trying to get back into the habit of scrapbooking so I thought I would share them anyway.
The Jot Challenge was a moodboard:

  
I think I need to work on my photography skills, my layout looks a bit  wobbly :(

The Scrap the Boys and Kraft it up challenges. They were both colour challenges this month.

So thanks for stopping by, if you do, and I am hoping to get back into the habit of scrapping and hopefully I will load them before the challenges finish lol

 

A challenge completed.....

Hello......................
Is anyone there??????????????????????
November 2013 was the last time I blogged :(
That was a bit of a crazy time for us, we got some terrible news and life seem to falter a bit....
 But now I'm trying to make a bit more effort to get back to the things I enjoy.

JOT Magazine. Have you heard of it? If not, then you should. It's a great magazine and the blog that goes with it is great as well. I also took part in the JOT Pockets class last year and I can fully recommend it:)

They have a mood board challenge each month and January's is this:



And here is my take on it:

Thanks for popping by.
