Using up those scraps

I have a heap of LO on the go at the moment but I can't seem to finish them off for one reason or another, so I thought I would show you a few cards that I made on my craft weekend last month. I have been trying to make an effort to use up lots of my scraps. I don't throw much away so cards are perfect for this.

There were a couple of very clever card makers there whose cards make mine look so simple. Hopefully they will be there again next year and I can try a few of them for myself.

If all goes to plan I should be able to share some LO's really soon.

Thanks

Ch{all}enge Masters card

This months card challenge was to make two cards with multiple folds and there are some gorgeous entries. I have been trying to make an effort to use up some of my older papers so that I can go shopping for some new pretties :) I am going to have to scrap a whole lot more to even make a dent in my stash though!

See you again soon.

On a roll!

As the title says..... I am on a roll. I have done three whole layouts and four cards today! I will take photos of the rest in the daylight, but for now....

Scrap Therapy's card challenge for this month is to make two cards. Make your first one and then you need to repeat TWO ELEMENTS ONLY (NOT INCLUDING YOUR CARD BASE) on your second card. So this is what I came up with.

 

More to come tomorrow :)

March

The March challenge is up over at Scrap Jacked, with lots of fantastic layouts to inspire you.
This is mine....of my sweet niece on her first birthday. Congratulations to Sam for her winning entry last month.

I also needed to whip up a couple of cards this week, one for a wedding, which I forgot to photograph! (If you are reading this Rache, do you think you could send me a pic lol) I even used my handmade flowers on it. This one was for my daughter who turned 11 on Friday.  

I have had a crazy couple of weeks, we have been so busy and I am having withdrawals from scrapping. I am determined to get at least one challenge done this week. I will have some great pics to scrap too, the kids are going on a flying trapeze today, we are all soooo excited!

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back soon with some pictures of today's adventure.

Home again, home again.....

Did you all have a lovely Christmas? We did, and then a beautiful week away where the kids swam, skied and knee boarded the days away. I was so proud of my DD getting back behind the boat after getting a bit of a scare skiing last summer, and once she got out there we couldn't get her out of the water. I finally read Mao's last Dancer (great book by the way) and relaxed, well as much as any Mum on a family holiday can relax anyway.

I have been itching to get some scrapping done so today got together with my lovely friend and managed to get a couple more pages done for my December daily album. Loving how this is coming together.
My new years resolution is to make sure that I appear in more family photos instead of always being behind the camera so that my kids don't think I was a figment of their imagination as they grew up lol.

These are a few simple cards I made before Christmas with some scraps I came across while trying to clean up my messy desk and from a RAK I received AGES ago (thanks Belinda).
PS I'm still working on tidying the desk!

And lastly a pic of my gorgeous niece just because she is so darned cute!

Have you been over to Scrap Jacked this month? The January LO's are up waiting to inspire you and there are lots of prizes up for grabs so come on over and play. We have had a fantastic response so far with some wonderful entries from lots of talented artists. Keep 'em coming! This is my DT layout.
