MERRY CHRISTMAS XXX

I'll be spending lots of time with these angels xxxx

IT'S BEEN A WHILE......

....since I shared some LOs.

These are some favourites from the Scrapboutique Retreat at Darlington Beach.





And these three I finished at Peta's December Scrap Day:



And finally, this LO was my second Christmas Workshop over at Scrapboutique:

OH DEAR..........

Poor neglected little blog :( :( :(

Thanks for the reminder today girls - I'll be back with an update real soon!!!

HOW CAN IT BE????

That in a blink of an eye....it's December?????

What happened to September, October & November I wonder???

At Scrap The Girls this month, the challenge is:

Using complementary colours.....
Create your layout using only ONE set of your choice from the following sets of complementary colours

red and green
blue and orange
yellow and violet

You may also use small amounts of neutral colours (eg. black, white, cream & kraft)
remember girls only!

I went with the Yellow & Violet combo, & scrapped this when I was on Retreat at Darlington Beach with the Scrapboutique girls.

SOME FAVOURITES

I have scrapped heaps over the last month - 34 LOs at Peta's Retreat, as well as finishing 42 LOs for Bootcamp at Blue Bazaar. (Took me ages to file them all.) Here are just a few of my favourite ones from the retreat!!!

CHRISTMAS WORKSHOPS

Hope you can join us for some fun!!!

NEARLY FORGOT

To post this month's challenge for Scrap The Girls.

This month we have a “Bits and Pieces” challenge for you to complete….

The rules are to use every piece of the puzzle ONCE ONLY! you can't add anything else to your page aside from the elements, they represent all the patterned papers, photos and embellishments - (exception to this rule is your base page does not count as a puzzle piece and you can add a title, ink, stitching, paint & glimmermist ;))

The stars can represent ANY embellishment, the heart must be used as a heart, the circles must be used as circles - it is up to you how big or small they are, or what they are!

The puzzle pieces are obviously not to scale, it is completely up to you what size you want to make them.



Puzzle challenges are always fun to do, although sometimes it's hard just to use what is listed!!! Here is my sample:

BUSY,BUSY, BUSY

& very tired after Peta's wonderful retreat on the weekend. I scrapped 34 LOs, a new record for me!!!!

Will update shortly.

CYBERCROPS

At ScrapBoutique and Wicked Princesses this weekend.

And I've got more Bootcamp to share too!!!

PRIMA

I'm not a great fan of Prima as a rule, & it took me a while to do anything with this new range that Chelsea sent me in my stylist pack. But when I did start on some LOs, they fell together really quickly & I was happy with the end results!!!

This one is currently on the front page of the Boutique.

This one featured in the last newsletter.

And this one is probably my favourite.

My new butterfly punch also got a good workout!!!

I used one of Gail Lindner's cute, ready made banners, available from her Etsy shop.

ANOTHER 50 LAYOUTS

All stamped,numbered & filed. Took me ages to do it too!!! I didn't think I had scrapped much this last month either.

Here are just a few:

The first four are from a September class at Peta's. That girl sure knows how to get the most out of a kit!!!


(Need to finish the journaling on these LOs for Josh's travel album.)



This one was scrapped by my lovely friend Kate - we had a photo swap at the Goolabri retreat - have to finish the journaling on this one too. I love my Kate original!!!

The rest of these were completed at our Boutique Retreat:
