This is the last of my backlog of unshared creations – well as far as I can tell at this point in time.  And I am going to warn you that there are a few photographs in this post as it is about a three page Project Life style spread.

I created this spread for the Scrapbook Fantasies Weekly Scrapbook Challenge #4/2014 – yes a couple of weeks ago I know – but better late than never.

I got out my Cuttlebug, an Embossing Folder, some mist (of course) and ink (of course) to create the cards from my scrap bag.

Happy Creating and have a wonderful day

I am feeling a lot better now and thought I should play catch-up to get some of my creations up here for you to see.  This is my Project Life style layout for the Scrapbook Fantasies Weekly Scrapbook Challenge #5/2014.  Which you just have a little bit more time to enter.

I have used the new Kaiser Hello Sunshine range, which is an absolute delight to create with.

I have created this layout for this weeks challenge at the Scrapbook Fantasies Blog.  This week was my choice and I chose to make you all create a layout using six (6) photographs.  If your stuck for inspiration both Mar (My Mum) and Jo have created with this challenge too – and you can view their layouts at the challenge release post – here.

Not to jinx myself….but I am on a roll with the Scrapbook Fantasies Weekly Challenges for 2014.  I’m up to week 3 and I’m still creating.  Admittedly I am creating in a Project Life style for these challenges, however with a bit of procrastination they can take as long if not longer than a regular layout.

I try to limit myself to a realistic amount of time when creating these layouts, so as not to defeat the purpose of creating in this style.

These photographs are from a trip to Tannum Sands Beach quite some time ago – 2004 to be exact.  I chose to use Project Life Pocket Design H again and the Kaiser Paradiso Paper Collection.

As always I am encouraging you all to have a go at this weeks challenge, and in case you haven’t already guessed it is to use Transparency.

Products used:
Patterned paper, transparency, diecuts – Kaiser Paradiso
Ink – Versafine Onyx Black
Stamp – Colop (date)
Project Life – journaling pen, pocket page (H)

Happy Creating and have a wonderful day

Well I made it to and through a second Weekly Challenge with Scrapbook Fantasies.  Once again I have created a Project Life style layout, even though it is rather smallish – using a Design H pocket page.

The photographs are of my friend Heidi and I at a convention many years ago, and my journaling reads:

“Heidi and I have been friends for many years.  We were first introduced by Joy from Bumble Bee.  These photos were taken at an EK Success Convention in Brisbane.  Being a woman in Business can sometimes be lonely, except when you have friends like Heidi.”

Of all the hats that I wear the “Businesswoman” one is the most difficult, heavy, time-consuming and yet rewarding.  I am glad of the support of my family and friends throughout the past 11 plus years of my journey as a businesswoman.

Once again I would like to encourage you all to have a go at this weeks challenge, and in case you haven’t already guessed it is to use only “Green & White”.  And yes you guessed it my friend the Madcook (Jo) provided the inspiration for this challenge.

Products used:
Patterned paper – Kaiser Key to My Heart
Cardstock – Bazzill Diamond
Lace – Basic Grey (green), Websters Pages (white)
Stamp – Kaiser Art of Life
Mist – Lindy’s Stamp Gang
Ink – Tim Holtz Distress Ink (Mowed Lawn)

Happy Creating and have a wonderful day

Well it is the first Monday of the new year which means…the first of the Scrapbook Fantasies Weekly Scrapbook Challenges for 2014.  This is my eighth (yes 8th) year of hosting these fabulous challenges and I hope you will join in for your chance to win a voucher from Scrapbook Fantasies.

I don’t always get a chance to complete the challenges, however this year I am going to give 110% towards completing them all.  As such I have decided to open the competition up to Project Life Style Layouts, which I will be showcasing each week.

This is my layout for Week #1/2014 using a number in the title:

After a conversation with my talented and inspiring friend Katrina I came to the decision last year that I wanted to use the Project Life concept to create layouts with my un-scrapped photographs from years past.  I have boxes and boxes of photographs still to be scrapbooked from the past, and I find it overwhelming thinking about getting them into our family albums.  Hence my decision to do this style of layout for the 2014 Weekly Scrapbook Challenges and hopefully empty some of those boxes.

For the title I covered a chipboard number 1 with some paper before sanding the edges – a blast from the past technique if there ever was one.

The photographs are from the 1st Birthday Party of Naomi-Jon’s best friend Christian – well Julie was my best friend so the babies didn’t have a choice.  I wanted to also document with these photographs that poor Naomi-Jon missed the party that day due to having the Chicken Pox, and also how big Milton’s feet back then (nothing has changed there).

So there you have it my first of many sets of completed photographs ready to be put into our family albums.  If you would like to complete this challenge (which I think you should) I recommend going to the Scrapbook Fantasies Blog and having a go – you can also view the layouts created by other Scrapbook Fantasies Design Team members there also.
