Girls, gold and glitter

A terrific challenge at Scrapbookit this month. It's girls, gold and glitter.  Here is what I came up with.

My Chorus, A Cappella West, went on retreat at Swanleigh from Friday evening til Sunday lunch time. At the end of the weekend we all jumped on the risers and took a fun photo, all 75 of us. |I love the background paper I've used for this, just perfect. I'm in the middle. I wonder if you can spot me. I have a black top on, which is a big hint. Our Chorus colours are black and pink. I actually like the gold I've used with pink to create this page. I think it's much cheerier than using black would have been.

Layout for October 2014 Scrapbookit challenge

October's sketch at Scrapbookit is:




My layout is:

I've used a combination of old and new stash to create this layout.
I've used a new grey Copic marker and some brown brads to create the border.
The Washi under the bottom photo is brand new as well.
The background paper is by My Mind's Eye. It's floral on the other side. I like how Company's are really giving you a lot of options with their double sided papers.

Thanks for looking.

Best Friend card

Hi folks,
Went to see a movie with my friend Irene this morning, The Host. Nice way to spend a morning.

I've just made this card for Scrapbookit's March/April challenge. Theme was best friends forever. I've added a sweet little birdie and tree, all in felt. Kerryn Lawson's kind RAK of twine is also finding its way on to lots of my crafting lately. Thanks Kerryn.

Have a great day and happy crafting.

Scrapbookit's birthday sketch challenge - A double

Hi there. Scrapbookit have set a birthday sketch challenge. I liked that it had so many photos. I've chosen to do a double as the photos I had of the U.S. Capitol deserved it I felt. I've used 9 photos on two pages. Quite happy with that. I've used the sketch as my basis for the left hand side and mirrored the basics (minus photo arrangement) on the right hand side as well.  Here is the result.

Most of the products are by My Mind's Eye.
