123 challenge blog entry

Here is my entry for the 1,2,3 Challenge blog June's challenge. You were required to use the word NEW, the colour WHITE and a paint smeared background.

I'm going to be published

Oh happy day. One of my scrapping goals is going to come true. I'm going to have not one, but two layouts published in http://www.scrapbooknewsandreview.com/, which is an online magazine. It comes out on 20 June 2010. Yay.

SOUL June Sketch Challenge reveal

Here is my layout for the June sketch challenge at Scrap Of Your Life for which I am a DT member.
I've used:

CherryArte - Boy Story - Denny Dino
Kaisercraft Esperance - Summer Breeze
Making Memories fabric alphas

Scrap Tiffany - Blog Hop

Joe Bloggs - Fabric label from a pair of boys' jeans - inked around edges and ribbon inserted in hole.

Welcome to the Scrap Tiffany Blog Hop. Please start at the beginning of the hop here http://www.scraptiffany.com/.

My tip for recycling is to use tags from clothing on your layouts and cards. There are some amazing tags out there, some fabric, some cardboard, some plastic. Some are already immediately useable as is and some can be altered to suit your needs.  I have included a layout and several cards as examples. Why not take a look at those tags when you next make a clothing purchase and see if you can use them in your projects? Happy scrapping.

This card uses two tags, one fabric and one cardboard.

The Sass & Bide tag is from some lingerie and had a lovely ribbon already attached. These are the materials I used. The flower petals and brad are already assembled.

Finished card.

On this card I have done some stamping and colouring as well as added ABC stickers and paper. The Sari label was included as it came with just a little wool through the hole.

Thanks for looking. I hope you like my designs and feel you could incorporate this idea into your own projects.  I'd be happy to have you as a follower.

G'day from WA

Good morning all,
The sun is shining, it's 8am. Pretty soon I'll be off for a walk around the river with my friend Lorraine. Then home to bake a cake for the Perth Mod concert tonight. Damon is performing in the choir and his wind band. His performance last night went well and I am looking forward to seeing it tonight.
Have a great day.

June is here

I love the start of a new month. It's very exciting to see who has won the challenges I've entered and what new challenges are available to do. Lots to look forward to. I'm off to take Mark to School, then for a walk with my friend Jayanthi, followed by food shopping.
Hope you all have a fantastic day.
