Simple Stories - 'Say Cheese' kit from SFS

So the lovely Peta over at 'Scrapbooking From Scratch' sent me up the cool

new range from Simple Stories 'Say Cheese'. 

I love the colours of this range!! It is however based on Disneyland - 

& as I do not own a passport & have never left the country, I show you how

to make use of the kit without that aspect :)

'You Make Me Happy'

(Please note I have added enamel dots & washi tape to this - which are not in the kit)

'Here's To Never Growing Up'

(Please note I have added Flutterby Flair & washi tape to this - which are not in the kit)

'Love These Girls'

(Please note I have added Flutterby Flair & a extra sheet of white CS to this - which are not in the kit)

So make sure you swing by the SFS store & grab this kit to play with!!!

Thanks for stopping by :)

So it's my 'WOW' again over at SFS & this time I've decided to show you

all how to make a confetti pocket for your Project Life albums / Mini albums

(or really for whatever you like.

First you'll need a 3x4 PL card to trace around & a normal everyday

A4 plastic sleeve. Trace around the PL card to give you a size to

work off. Don't worry about the pen marks - they will be cut off later!

Then using your sewing machine, stitch the 2 sides & bottom about

(leave top open for now) 1/2cm in from the

traced edge (to ensure it's going to fit in your PL sleeves).

Grab some goodies to put in it, like wood veeners, sequins, glitter,

small punched shapes etc.

 

I recommend using a sheet of paper to work off - making it easier to funnel

your bits & pieces in when your ready. Once you have everything in

- stitch the top up with your sewing machine.

 Then trim around cutting off the traced area - but not too close to the stiching.

And then Ta-Da!!!! Slide into your PL album. You may need to give the things a little

wriggle so they sit nicely in your album.

 Thanks for popping by :)

Hey there fellow scrappers!!!

So the creative juices have been running non stop, since returning from

Camp Mojo the other weekend. This week I'm going to show you how to incorporate your

Project Life cards (c'mon I know you've brought some!!) into a traditional 12x12 layout! 

I've started with a 6x4 Project Life grid card, then 2 other 3x4 cards from PL collections

(I have no idea which ones sorry) & then one more 3x4 card from Mambi

(gratiful set - I think LOL). 

 I've grabbed a sheet of kraft cardstock & smeared a little gesso over it.

 I had a piece of scrap paper & a doily in my draw which I decided to use also.

I then began arranging my PL cards on my page. I've used a posca pen to

doodle on & around these...

And with a little more doodling, a title & I'm done!!!

Close up shot...

You don't have to purchase full PL core kits to get PL cards!

At the SFS shop, Peta has Mambi themed card packs for $5 or

1/3 PL card packs (depending on availabilty) for $12!!!!

So why not get a pack to try your hand at using them in a tradition 12x12 layout :)

 Here's my layout I did for SFS August Colour Challenge. I've also used PL cards on this layout too. Some from PL, Mambi & Elle's Studio!!

Hope you entered a layout or 2 in any of the 3 challenges or if not have

a go at next months!! The link for these is HERE.

Thanks for popping by & make sure you head over to the shop for

any of your scrapping needs.

Camp Mojo - Hunter Valley 2013

So I have just came back from a great retreat!! I met so many inspiring scrapbookers &

my mojo tank is definately full! For anyone that hasn't experienced a retreat -

I strongly recommend you do.

I had butterflies when I saw a couple of people I really admired.

I was just hoping not to sound like a giggling school girl in front of them LOL.

 There was also another super cool chick - sitting at the end of the table next to me - Lauren!!

She was funny & really lovely!! Here's a few snaps of us at the photobooth:

 There was 3 lady's I knew from my area, Jo, Jodi & Tracey :)

Tracey & I were roomies & had a running joke going. 

Everytime we spoke or got nervous about our scrapping idols we would joke

saying - "We're like this now" & crossing our fingers like this.

 Here's a pic of the 4 of us in the photo booth - being incredibly stylish LOL

 The scrapping area was HUGE!!! We had a full 6" table to ourselves!!!!!

Plenty of room to spread out (I'm a messy scrapper).

Group shot taken by Jen Hall :)

Here are some of the layouts I did:

 The awesome Louise Nelson asked me to scrap a layout just for her - needless to say

I was was completely honoured & speechless!!! I was really nervous to begin with, but once

I found my groove - I was totally in the zone. I loooooooooove how this turned out!!!

 Close up..
