LO Share

Just wanted to share my most recent LO. This is my offering for this month's WIOIN Sketch Blog Challenge. Have I told you much I luuuurve challenge blogs??? probably not in the last 5 minutes huh? Well I do, I love the inspiration I find there.

Anyway, here is the sketch

And here is my version of it.

I have finally figured out why I have been so unhappy with my last few sketch interpretations. Duh! I like negative space. So I just have to shrink or scale the sketch down so that it works for me. I'm not slow am I? Now that I have had this revelation, I can't wait to take on another sketch :)

Aaahh, so many ideas - so many chores!!!!!

Finally, another reminder to scrappers to comment on this previous post to be in with a chance to win this RAK:
Tell your srappy friends to 'cos I really want to send this stuff to a new home!

Thanks for stopping by!

Two Birds . . . One Stone


So here is my offering for the OLW challenge for this week. Yes I made it this time! The "word up" was Beauty. And what more beautiful subject than my own DD3?

I have also combined this challenge with the Pagemaps sketch for this fortnight too. Here's the sketch:


I luuurve Becky's sketches. They're so interesting, modern and open to interpretation.

So if you are feeling a little inspired by either of these challenges, you should pop over to either of the sites and have a go! There's still plenty of time :)

Scrapping Stuff

So here are a couple of my most recent projects. These are the ones that represent the"Breaking of the Great Scrapping Drought" LOL

Shopping List Holder

Totally for myself, in a style that I like and for a functional and practical purpose. I had a bit of a personal epiphany at Christmas time while packing up the spare (scrap) room in preparation for guests. I had a whole heap of off the page stuff that served no purpose at all except to look pretty. That in itself is not a bad thing, but how much stuff do I actually need. It was then that I vowed that the only stuff I would make from then on would have a practical purpose - and suit the modern stylings of our home.

So this shopping list holder is an attempt at organisation. That is I should now be jotting down items as I think of them, rather than wasting valuable "child free" time on the morning of shopping day trying to remember what in the world we need! Seems to be working so far. 


"If She Could Talk 2 The Animals"
A Layout for the fabulous White With 1 Challenge Blog. The concept is to create a LO using white as the main colour with one accent colour and one other special element. Could be a word, an embellie whatever. I love this blog, such a great idea - especially for someone like me that prefers to start with a white bg most of the time. This month was white with olive green and birdies.

"Discover: The Wonder of Nature"
And lucky last is a double LO for the Aussie Pub Calls Roadmaps Challenge Blog. This is a sketch blog which I find particularly inspiring. Here is the sketch that this LO was based on - A loose interpretation i think, but I had a lot of fun doing it.

Well, that's it for now. Hope you stop by again soon :)
