A Card

Today over at Practical Scrappers we have a brand new card sketch up and for me it is a hard one LOL

I love grids when i see them on other peoples layouts or cards but i STRUGGLE so much to actually use them myself. I ended up just grabbing 4 bits of scraps i had from a 6x6 pad in the kit i am using and i just sewed them onto another piece of scrap paper. I added a bit of veneer for the title a paperclip and some enamel dots. So while it is not the best card out there I am sure someone would appreciate getting it.

My take on sketch

What a crazy week we have had here, lots of after school activities keeping us busy and i have just had a lazy week here in the house, I have done the everyday house work but nothing extra, though to be honest I only have one room left to actually give a good clear out and that is the whole house done YAY.

Friday night here in New Zealand and it will be curry, wine and a family movie soon and I can not wait!

I feel like we have not actually sat down as a family all week long, seriously we have been that busy.

Lucy has also asked to take up netball and I have had to say no as I feel the 4 classes she does right now are plenty enough, this mama is feeling it even if she is not LOL

Oh and while I am here I will share some proud mum news

As you know Lucy has joined a squad team in the next town from us, she is doing so so well there, she swims for an hour non stop, its just length after length for 60 minutes (I could not do this) anyway she was finally allowed to use the dive box this week as her diving has improved so much. It made me so happy to see her sweet face just so excited to do it as she has been asking for weeks to get on there. She just never fails to amaze me with her strength and her passion for doing well in everything she does.

Love my girl.


Oh and while I am here I thought I would share these beauties, I know a lot of people have been trying to get them with no luck, well look no further as Paper Issues have them in stock

Project Life Week 19

I thought i would share this here in case you didn't see my post over at Life.Paper.Scrapbook the other day.

Sharing my LOVE of veneer

I just love the stuff and can't get enough of it, It really has came along way since the original couple of shapes that were available and now you can get it in almost any shape you want. 

There are so many different ways you can use veneer

natural

ink it
use mist
stamp it
emboss it
paint it
use nail varnish
cover in washi tape
cover in paper

I have to say though that i tend to be lazy and leave it as is, i just really like it this way though i do ink it up from time to time if the page really needs the added pop of colour.

I do Project Life and i find veneer is the perfect embellishment as it is not to bulky and just a great little bit to add the pockets

Here you can see my page for week 19 and how i have used a lot of different veneers in lots of the pockets

I loved these little hears and i thought they were perfect to fill in some white space on my picture

The following two cards are just fillers made from some beautiful Elles Studio vellum but i thought by adding the veneer bits it just finished them off

The following two i used arrows to point to the story, in the first one it was to show off the girls and the 2nd one the week number, i may LOVE these arrows

The following one i got to use because it was raining and well the veneer speak for themselves

thanks so much for stopping by, i hope you enjoy veneer as much as i do

Project Life Week 18

I thought i would share more project life work and get my posts for it up to date. This week being week 18 and another one pager like Week 17. Lucy and I were just both so so sick this week though Lucy did feel better towards the end of it but really we did nothing LOL

Even though we did nothing much is nice to document the little things we did manage and of course i still managed to take a lot of pictures LOL

All Made Up and a Sketch

I am here today with a break from Project Life spreads and with a layout instead, this is one i worked on the other day and while it is quite simple i love it and i LOVE the picture of Lucy and I even more LOL we sure are a crazy couple of girls. I mean look at my eye make up, she was so super proud of that ha ha and i have like half a bottle of foundation on too LOL 

This layout is for the sketch this month over at Practical Scrappers and it was a fun one at that. If you want to take part in the challenge or just see what the rest of the DT came up with then please head on over.
