Published in May's Scrapbooking.com issue

This month I have had an article featured in Scrapbooking.com magazine. Go here to view it on YouTube. In it I have made my own banner to add to a Father's Day page. I hope you enjoy it. This is a fabulous ezine, well worth a look. Also, it's free. How great is that?


I also have a layout featured at this blog: http://multiphotoscrapbooklayouts.blogspot.com.au/

Fine Art

I do love art. The MOMA in NY is full of incredible art.

I've completed this layout for Red Earth Scrapping. It was a class run by Kate McCulloch. I bought a kit from RES which included Instaframes by Heidi Swapp. I had my eye on these from the last CHA. I really wanted some so I definitely had to buy the kit and have a go. We got to play with paint, which I love. It seemed appropriate to me to use a painting for the photos. I didn't have any friends ones to use so I improvised. The painting had just the right colours to match the kit. I've also used some pretty Prima flowers and a new flowers by Webster's Pages which I got in my win yesterday. It's the mesh one with the pearl centre. Sweet little thing it is.

Let me know what you think.

Also, if you look at my last past, which is for From Screen 2 Scrap, part of the challenge is to use polaroid or instagram photos. I only got these instaframes on Monday so couldn't use them in my DT example, but how PERFECT would they be to use for that challenge.

Car Stack for From Screen 2 Scrap's May challenge

Here is my DT layout for May's challenge at From Screen 2 Scrap. The movie poster this month is from a really thrilling movie called Memento. Check out IMDB here to see the details of it.

I have stayed pretty true to the poster apart from flipping it. The photos were taken at the British Science Museum. I thought they looked really cool. I have all the criteria for extra points: white cardstock, black title and at least one photo to be turned into a polaroid or instamatic photo.

I've used a My Little Shoebox pp for the car and fuel pump embellishments.

Go to http://screen2scrap.blogspot.com.au/ to join in. If you join in for the first time due to seeing it here, please tell Shazza as it gets me points in a DT comp. 

Thanks for looking. Happy scrapping.

Palm Beach win

Hi everyone,

I just wanted to share my happiness today.  I got some great mail this morning. It is my Palm Beach collection win from Webster's Pages. Here's a pic of what I got.

This collection is very pretty in person. Receiving this kind of makes up for the unhappiness I feel at having to leave for the Dentist's to get some work done this morning. At least I'll have something to look forward to playing with when I come home.

I see the graduates for BITW

BITW is short for Bird is the word which is a challenge blog.  Here is the layout I created for it.

I'm a bit behind on my boy's School albums. This is the second School layout I've done today so that's great. I noticed that none of the entries so far have really stuck to the sketch and apparently that's OK. I had the tools to make it look pretty much like the sketch and I decided to do the sketch because I liked the look of it, therefore mine looks pretty much like it.  Here it is so you can compare.



You also had to use the word look or see in the title. I've used see.

All Boy card

The challenge for Day 59 at 365 Cards is to make a boy card, but not in blue. I'm always needing boy card and don't find them as easy to do as girl ones. I asked both of my sons separately what colour card should I make if I was doing one for a boy. They both said black. Then Mark said and a bit of red and white. So, that's what I used.
