I've been published again!

Hey there!!
Well, I have been published again!! I was commissioned a few months back by Scrapbook Creations magazine to create a layout with doodling as the main focus (I believe "Dramatic Doodling" was the theme.

So, the magazine has been issued and my layout is in it!! Woohoo, so exciting. Unfortunately, the photograph in the mag does no justice whatsoever to the actual layout (its very orange in the mag).

Anyway, here it is for you to see. ALL of the doodling is hand drawn. I was going to use a template to draw the scallops, but changed my mind and went with freehand. I kept the colours simple (black and white with some red) to keep this gorgeous photo of my girls as the focus.

You can click on the image for a larger view (better to see the doodling lol).


Thanks for stopping by.
Have a great day!

Cards for July 08 Cybercrop at Little Scrapbook Shop

Oh Derr Moi!! I just realised I can share the cards I made for the CC now, as the challenges were all posted up on Friday night.
As you know, I totally love stamping. I also love paper piecing, which is very similar to applique (another love of mine). So, I combined the two to created a challenge. The challenge was to use line art stamps and patterened papers (instead of colouring in) to make at least 3 paper-pieced images and use them in a card/cards and/or scrapbook page of any size.
Here are the cards and layouts I created for the challenge. If you would like to see the step by step instructions, click HERE and you will be taken to Little Scrapbook Shop forum and my challenge.
So, without further ado, here they are. . . you can click on the images for a larger view.

Enjoy.

I have been creating...

Hello and good afternoon/morning/evening, depending where in the world you are!

I have been busy creating for the Little Scrapbook Shop. Our head of the DT, Lisa, sets us challenges for the kits we receive. Below are the things I created with my KI Memories items.

The first challenge was to use an unmounted stamp and create a page/card element. I had a play with embossing powder for mine. I can see these on a new baby card or page.


Our next challenge was to create as many card/OTP items/layouts as we could from 2 pieces of patterned paper and one sheet of lace cardstock. This was a pretty cool challenge.

Here are the 2 sets of cards I came up with (you can click on the images for a larger view):
And last, but not least, a 12x6" scrapbook page. You can click on the image for a larger view.


These were awesome challenges, and I am really enjoying them. The next part of the challenge is to use the rest of the kit (a whole range of papers etc from one company) to make anything we like. Stay tuned for that one!!

Have a great day.
