LPS Sketch Challenge #3

It's Sketch Challenge time again at Life.Paper.Scrapbook and I really enjoyed working with this sketch.

This Challenge is sponsored by A Piece of Cake Designs and the prize is......

Your choice of any TWO packs of Cherry Flair  

PLUS a 15% off voucher to use on the website

Pretty awesome prize huh?

I already had some photos in mind for this one but it meant I had to rotate the sketch like so......

That's the awesome thing about using a sketch to kickstart your creativity- you can rotate it, flip it, move things around- whatever you need to do to get those creative juices flowing!

I used papers and embellishments from Amy Tangerine's Sketchbook Collection and they have the perfect bright summery feel to go with my photos from our holiday in Phuket last year.

Thanks for stopping by and be sure to play along with us at LPS to be in the running to win the terrific prize from A Piece of Cake Designs!

Life.Paper.Scrapbook Issue #1

The day is finally here! LPS Issue #1 was published tonight and already there has been loads of positive feedback.  The Project Life community is especially excited to see PL featured significantly in the magazine.  This edition introduces the Design Team (including moi- thankyou!) and showcases many designers from around the world bringing together a wide array of styles.  I am so excited for Manda Moore who has put her heart and soul into bringing the magazine to life and she should be so very proud of her efforts.

I hope you all check it out....grab a cuppa, put your feet up and enjoy a visual feast of gorgeous projects.

You can get the magazine here.

Project Life Week Twelve

It's Week 12, the week that nearly broke me.  It was a very rough week at Number 27, we all have them, and thank goodness we get to start afresh this week.

I was itching to get to this week's PL pages because it meant I got to play with the new Project Life Kraft Core Kit.  I bought and downloaded that kit as soon as it was available at acdigitals.com LOL!

Here is the LHS.....

Here is the RHS.....

And here is the entire spread.....

In addition to the Kraft core kit I also used a couple of digital arrow stamps from Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic Digital Kit.  

The Midnight Edition of Project Life is now available at acdigitals.com and you will probably see it featured in my pages for next week ;-)

A Card and Tag to Share

Just popping in quickly to share a card and tag I made for Master 2's sweet little playgroup friend.  I had some leftovers from a custom card order and put them to work here.  

The stamp is from Stampin' Up's Little Friends set and the patterned paper and ribbon is also from Stampin' Up.  The image was stamped onto watercolour paper and coloured with inks and a water brush.  Isn't she cute?

Studio Calico Sundrifter

I fell in love with "Sundrifter" from Studio Calico as soon as I saw it and eagerly awaited the opportunity to purchase it.  I stalked the SC online shop and pounced as soon as it went live.  Unfortunately I had to wait a while to get to play with it, but yesterday I got to work and came up with this layout using a photo from our holiday in Phuket last April- yes, I AM that far behind in my "regular" scrapbooking!

I matted my photo on a leftover Cameo cut-file from a card I made, and used my favourite Mama Elephant arrow stamp, but everything else you see is from the Sundrifter Collection.  You'll be seeing a lot more of Sundrifter on my future pages and cards :-)

Project Life Week Eleven

Another week gone in the blink of an eye, but I am still loving recording our weeks this way.  I was on the lookout for a new digital kit to use in my PL pages and found Echo Park's Everyday Eclectic Collection.  It's a lot more vintage/shabby in style than what I have been using in my PL album this year, but I simply just had to have it anyway.  I have selected the "least vintage-y" parts of it this week and I love how it came together.

Here is the left hand side.....

Here is the right hand side.....

And here are both pages side by side.....

Thanks for looking!

LPS Colour Challenge #2

Hi all, it's challenge time again at Life.Paper.Scrapbook and this time it's a colour challenge.

The sponsor for this challenge is The Greatest View and if you're not familiar with their adorable embellishments, click on over and check out all their gorgeous goodies! I'm loving their Chevron/Sunburst Combination Badges and I think the Lagoon set would match nicely with my Seafoam Project Life Kit.

I love the natural earthy tones in the challenge photo and came up with two cards.....

All the supplies for these cards are from Stampin' Up!

I hope you'll play along with us at LPS :-)
