Let's Scrap 2-20-13

I was very late getting this card done using this Let's Scrap sketch but here it is now! 

I used a Magnolia stamp and Spellbinder's Dies.  The sentiment was from K & Co and the papers were free from a magazine.

 

Short post at the moment, trying to catch up so going now to do a layout! thanks for stopping for a wee look and please leave some comments as I like to know you have been here!

Hugs & Beautiful

 I am a wee bitty late with this post, I honestly don't know where the time goes!!!!  This layout shows Jackson giving me cuddles when he was just a few months old.  My hair was so short then, and he had lost his hair at both sides, so we were both having a bad hair day! LOL!!!

This is the sketch I used, from  Let's Scrap  and I just used the left side.

I used K & Co Addison Papers, 

Lettering is from K.I. Memories

Ribbon - We R Memory Keepers

Buttons from stash

This sketch is from  Inspired Blueprints and shows my DD Marie, when she was celebrating her 30th Birthday.  

I used papers, stickers and lettering from Echo Park This & That, Graceful Collection.

Hopefully I will be back soon! Hope to see you then!!

Who's Who?

 This is the layout I made using the right side of sketch below from Let's Scrap 1-9-13  

The layout shows Marie in two photos and her wee boy Jackson in the other two.  They have been taken when they were about the same age, and I couldn't help but notice the similarity between the two of them!!

I used papers from American Crafts

Lettering was also from American Crafts

Paperclips and ribbon were from my stash

Owls - Kanban

 The layout below shows  one of the photos which Jackson had taken by the photographer just before Christmas.  When she took the photo, I thought it looked horrible, because the headphones were purple, he had on an orange and yellow check shirt, and the hat she put on him was red and green! yuck!!  She produced it in black and white though, and it looked amazing!!  She obviously knew what she was doing!! LOL!!

 

Off to do another layout now!  I hope you are having a lovely weekend!!

Shine & Grow

 I am trying to play catch-up with the sketches over at Let's Scrap, as I didn't get any layouts done over Christmas.

this sketch is dated 2/1/13

This is the layout I did, using up my stash.  It shows the twins when they were just a few weeks old.  I have had this photo sitting around for ages, and decided to get it done!!

Papers - Webster's Pages

Lettering K & Co

Flowers - Wild Orchid Crafts

Gems - ZVA Creative

Butterflies and ribbon from stash.

We also received some really good news over the Christmas Period, as Greg and Kim announced that they would be having a baby in June!! Move over Royal Baby, ours is much more special! LOL!!!  they are going to find out at the next scan if it is a boy or a girl.  Secretly hoping it is a wee girl, so as I can do girlie pages and cards and knit wee pink outfits!!  I'll still love a wee boy just as much though!  Main thing is we want Kim and the baby to keep healthy.

Now for my exciting news!!!!!

I entered the competition for Scrapbooker of the Year at Scrapbook Magazine.  I was so excited when I got an e-mail to say that I was a runner-up!!! Woo-hoo!!!!!!

We had to send in 3 layouts and this was the layout which they picked.  This shows my two daughters when we all met up together for the first time in many, many years.  Corinne lives in New Zealand, we are at the opposite side of the world  in Scotland, so it makes family reunions a bit difficult!!

 This is the amazing prize I won.  £180 worth of crafting goodies!!!!!!!  The photo does not really show it all  up very well, but I have scrapbook paper, rubber stamps, masks, flowers, twine, card-making kit, lettering, 2 albums, buttons and templates, to name just a few!!

I was not allowed to tell anyone until the magazine was published, so I am letting everyone know now!!! 

I tried to scan the magazine and put int on there, but for some reason it wouldn't work. Never mind.  I am so chuffed with myself and keep smiling when I think about it!  Here's to more success in 2013!!!!

Cutie Pie Challenge Blog

I hope you have all had a lovely Christmas.  We had a lovely time with Marie and baby Jackson, (who stole the show) and Greg and Kim, who told us that they are having a baby in June! Woo-hoo!  another baby to scrap and to knit for! LOL!!!!  I have managed to find some time to do some blogging, so without further ado........

The challenge at The Cutie Pie Challenge Blog is Cute Christmas. 

 I have used an image from Make It Crafty which I love.  It's just a simple card, as most of my cards this year were, as I had no extra time to make them fancy!! This image reminds me of myself, as I always feel and squish my parcels in an attempt to figure out what they are before I open them!!

I wanted to share this photo of Jackson, playing with the toy we gave him for Christmas.

                                                                I think we had more fun with it than he did!!

I'll be putting on another post in a wee while with my exciting news!!  At last I can share it with you!

Mo's Digital Challenge - #166 Fave Mo card made by You!

The challenge over at Mo's Digital Challenge is your favourite Mo's card which you have made. 

It is so hard to pick a favourite as I always find if I use an image by Mo, the card will turn out great!!  I have picked this card, as I did some stamping and used chalks to make a cloud effect.  it makes it just that little bit different I think!  I really like the way i have coloured the hair too, as hair colouring is not my strongest point!

I am also showing you this card, which I coloured monotone, with a splash of red.  First time I have tried this, and I really like it, so will be doing it again, that's for sure!

Okay, must go, almost bed time, and I have a busy day tomorrow.  Marie is getting wisdom teeth out and I have to be Nurse Nancy and look after her and wee Jackson, so I will have a busy day!

Bye for now, and thanks for stopping for a look!!
