Here is another layout i made using one of the sketches over at Sketchbook 4, I love how this turned out as at first the sketch scared me LOL. I finally used this awesome chevron file on my cameo that Ursula shared with us over on the message board a few weeks ago and i LOVE it.

This was a picture that was taken on Lucy's first ever holiday abroad :)

Freckled Fawn LOVE

So have any of you shopped there? its my new fave place i tell you!!
I seem to be obsessed with washi tape these days and i can not stop buying it LOL, check these that i have bought this week

(I bought the star tape in red and yellow)

And i had to pre order this kit, it just looks AMAZING and it is an exclusive washi tape, I have this tape in other colours so it will be so nice to have it in yellow. I just love the idea behind these kits, they will be full of lots of hand made stuff from Etsy stores etc, so nice to see all the goodies in one place.

Oh and i should add i am back from my holiday to America and let me tell you we had an AWESOME time out there. I came back on Tuesday and went straight to work Wed, who knows what i was thinking as i have so much to do but had no time to do it aaahhhhhhh. I will be back ASAP to share more about the holiday etc, I am just out the door now to a friends for dinner. See you all soon

Love Chocolate

Don't we all huh?

Today over at Practical Scrappers we were asked to do a layout with washi tape, now i have done a few just like this, super easy and take 10 minutes to do. I just grabbed my washis and started laying strips over the page. Then i dropped some buttons on the page and layered my picture on top. EASY.

Lovely - A card

Today over at Practical Scrappers we were asked to make a card and use washi tape on it. This is so super easy to do, in fact i was at a friends house (Hi Sue) and she had done one using her washi so of course i had to come straight home and do one too, 5 minutes and it is done, this one looks so much better in real life i just could not get a great picture of it for some reason.

Days at School

SO i did this layout AGES ago but it was part of a layout tag team for Noel Mignon, What was really special about this tag was that Noel used one of my top ten layouts from last year as the inspiration piece , it sure made my day.  I used lots of Amy Tangerine items for this layout :)

Bra Top

OK this layout here is so funny to me, Lucy who is only 5 may i add has started saying she needs a bra top WHAT!!!!!! anyway the little monkey decided to wear her bikini LOL , this is her showing it off :)

I did this layout for Practical Scrappers whose theme today is 'Layouts using Negative spaces' Well i have had this particular layout by Lilith E in my mind for a few weeks but just hadn't gotten around to it, so i thought i would finally do it for this challenge, It uses both the cut outs and negatives.

Project Life week 8

Here is another week of Project Life for you, as with week 7's post please click on the pictures to read the journaling cards, i am just trying to get my blog caught up with Project Life before we go away :)

A card

Today over at Practical Scrappers we were asked to make a card using negative space. I have had this love heart file in my cameo library for a week or so and i decided it would be perfect to use it for a card. I just cut it out then used pop up dots to stick it to some more paper. I then did some faux stitching around the love hearts and edges then just finished it off with a sticker, 10 minutes max and i LOVE it

Sweet Girl

This layout is so different for me, i NEVER ever use coloured card stock anymore as my back ground, but one of the ladies at SC inspired me when i saw she had used this card stock for one of her layouts (thanks Ursula). I also used a Sketchbook 4 sketch for this one and finally scrapped these pictures of Lucy, she is so sweet :)

I finally used the background stamp that came in the kit and used my new white ink, i really love how it stamped.
