*Cherish You*

Hey you crafty things! I'm back with another page to share, and this time I haven't used a sketch or anything!! I have had this Jillibean Soup Kraft CS for ages but haven't been brave enough to use it. I always feel the pressure to create something wonderful with those special papers/cardstock don't you?

I cropped down some pics of me and T that were taken recently, and layered them on various scraps of beautiful patterned papers! Sigh that they now are all used up :(
The silver foil flower is from Making Memories and the Apple sticker is from K & Co (have had them ages) Chipboard accents from AC as are the ever lush and adorable Lullaby Thickers!!
Have a great day :)

*Young Fireman*

Its been a little while since i've played along with Shimelle's SOTW but I have missed following the sketch so I'm really pleased to have finished this one (in time)

Find the sketch here and play along, I love seeing everyone pages/projects x

I used a silver/grey CS and added some Maya Road mist in 'Earl Gray'!!! I think that I may actually properly completely love this little bottle of magic! I wonder how long it takes me to buy another?
so there you go x have a great day x

*July Document 2011*

*Quickie Cards*

Evening all, greetings from a very blustery night in the south! I have had the rare urge tonight to make up some quick cards. I recently bought a heat gun, so have been playing around with various inks and embossing powders. Loving the sparkle and have a new love for these smaller pearlised card. These are about 3inchs square and very very cute!

If only I could buy pre-scored Kraft cardstock in ickle sizes! I looooveee Kraft, and it seems to love my heat gun to!

These card toppers are by SJ and are free to download on the UK Scrappers forum so go get them here and get crafting.
Used my trusty Martha Stewart 'classic butterfly' punch in the corner.

They are a great size for an A6 card x
..now I'm off to find a blanket, brrrrrr...

*The Saturday Post*

Evening all, hope that your weekend has started well where you are! The sun has been shinning here today (for an hour or two at least)

This week, Shimelle has challenged us to a slightly different SOTW which involves layering photos on blocks of patterned papers x

I used a dark brown CS which is a very rare choice for me, but I am happy with the finish!
Thanks for stopping by x

*Half Page Challenge*

Here is my Lo for Shimelle's 'Half Page' challenge. The challenge was to create a page where you only used half of the page (obvs!) I didn't think that I would be able to control my 'need' to spread pretty things all over the page, but I resisted and kept within the challenge guidelines!

On a recent trip to London, we discovered a funky shop called 'SNOG' that sold the yummiest frozen yogurt with your own choice of toppings! Lush x

This is the last of Shimelle's challenges that I have already completed, but I'm hoping that I will have time to do a couple more before Sunday

*A Happy SOTW*

I have completed 3 layouts in 3 days! Woop, i'm on a roll! Here is the 2nd of the three and its this weeks SOTW I really like the subtle colours and i'm still drooling over the Studio Calico paper which I am rapidly running out of!!

I will absolutely completely use this sketch again, I love the finished page.
Added some cute puffy stickers from Paperchase...

*Shimelle's Challenge 1*

Morning! Happy Saturday to you all. Just had enough time this morning to complete this challenge from Shimelle's online crop weekend!

I have adjusted this LO a little, as I couldn't decide on a sheet of patterned paper for the background, so just used white stitch lines to fill the gap!
Hopefully I will have enough time to complete some of the other challenges x

*June 2011 Documented*

Another month has been and gone, which leaves me to update you with my June Document 11 pages! I think that I am getting a bit lazy when it comes to the focus page for the month as I have been 'recycling' pages from other projects such as SOTW! Is that cheating? Anyway here is my focus page which you can see in more detail in this post.

So that makes this my sunny collected page which i think is currently winning the 'most crammed pocket' award, but hey, I've only documented half of the year so far so other months could still claim that prize! lol
..This is one side of my divided pages, using the landscape ones for this month as that was what most of June's photos were!
This is the other side, with photo's about me PASSING my driving test (2nd time lucky) and from a shared birthday party that I organised! we had so much fun dressing up as different superhero's and film stars!!!!
Woop! 6 months documented, 6 more to go, see you soon to share August!

*a little of Explore*

So, I'm a bit late sharing with you guys, but here is week one from Shimelle's online class *Explore* which I am really loving btw!

Week 1- Adventure! Prompt one was to take a self portrait and then write a little 'note to self' which I loved doing, I have kept mine a little private by writing it on a tag (inside the Kraft envelope)
These are some pics from the map/postcard prompts, although having said that, the picture of the postcard is missing! Oopps!

A list of my Perfect things! I wrote down things from 1-10 but wrote down number 9 twice so I just added a 10.5 to the end!
At the end of the week, we were challenged to make a 12x12 LO using all the thoughts/techniques that we had learnt throughout the week. I based mine on life's little adventures and made nine circle embellishments which was a project from the week.
I wasn't sure of the colours, but I love them now x
This page is my 'write on a photo' page which I think looks cute with the star and puffy sticker!
I'll post some more pages from this project soon x Jenna x

*May 2011 Documented*

My Document 2011 album is shaping up nicely! (trying to catch up) I love documenting the different things that happen each month and writing about them all in one place...

...So May looked a bit like this. Taye achieved his level 2 Stanley swimming award, grandma and I had a fish pedicure, which was actually quite nice! We had some lovely spring weather and I took my first driving test which I failed (passed 2nd time though)

This is my focus page using a Hipsta print of me and Taye x

..first side of the divided page..

...the other side
This is May collected, with drawings, more pics and invitations x
So thats that. I have started Shimelle's new online class 'Explore' which I will blog about soon x

*It's that Friday Feeling*

Morning all you lovelies! Hope that the glorious sun is shinning where you are! Although sunshine isn't always the perfect scrapping weather is it?

This first LO was based on Kirsty Wisemans wednesday night crop, which was actually 10 days ago but still, I wanted to share. Here is the sketch and this is her version

My laptop decided not to play nice and shut down half way through so was quite annoyed that I couldn't watch Kirsty finish her sketch but anyways this is mine.
Still totally loving the coloured dollies, super lush!!
This next LO is my version of Sarah's Card's July sketch challenge which is a really cute design.

made some of my own embellies and tabs and used some journalling strips from Scrapbook Printables, which is amazing for free stuff to print!
on another note, I went to see Take That last Friday in the mighty Wembley!, and it was AMAZING!!! here is the evidence...

Will be back soon to post about Document May '11 x so come back in a few days.

Happy Weekend to you all x
