There's still a lot of time left to work on your layout, and we have prizes up for grabs!

Super delayed upload!

I admit that I haven't been able to scrap as much as I want to but I get to finish a layout every now and then. Here are a few that I finished these past few months that I haven't share yet...

These layouts are "just because" layouts... just had fun creating these using photos from an out of trip last summer and using one of my favorite manufacturers.... My Mind's Eye.

Another simple layout, this time using Websters' Pages. Can you tell I'm having fun with my Cameo?

Thanks for dropping by...I have another layout coming up next week!

Picture Perfect

Time sure flies fast when you are having fun! Can't believe it's already August. Pretty soon its time to put the Christmas tree up. Well, the start of the month means we have a new challenge for you at Scrap the Girls. I want to thank Malinda of Scrap The Girls for letting me stay on the design team for another term! Yipee!

This month we have a recipe challenge for you. The ingredients are:

flowers

masking

doodling

chipboard or wood veneers

Here's my layout using Websters' Pages Citrus Squeeze.

My daughter Julia definitely has the talent to smile underwater! LOL! Please head on over to the Scrap The Girls blog for the complete details and be inspired by what the DT (old and new) have created just for you!

How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You

Use the song title "How Sweet It is To Be Loved By You" as title or part of your journaling...this is the challenge for July over at Scrap The Girls! Fun right?! Sadly though, it will be my last layout as part of the DT but it doesn't mean I can't stop playing with the coming challenges!


Anyway, here's my layout!

Please do join us for this challenge! Details are all HERE!

Just Because

I managed to finish a few layouts a week ago...

This layout is another clean and simple layout, and inspired by Sketch #96 at Inspired Blueprints. Since it was just summer on our part of the globe, my photos are mostly from our vacations. This one is about quiet time at the beach.  Here's the sketch if you want to play along. I love the sketch! So simple yet so full of possiblities!

This next layout is a just because layout...no challenges, no sketch for this one just pure scrapbooking FUN!

Obviously, I'm having fun playing with my Silhouette. Thanks to freebies too! I found these free cut files through Pinterest. The "so very special" sentiment is from Lilith's Scrapbooking Venture but I can't seem to trace the source of the "lovely" frame. Sorry...but it is a free cut file too!

My guilty pleasure is...

This month's theme at Once Upon A Sketch is all about guilty pleasures. I think mine would be travelling. Here's a layout about one of our recent out of town trips this summer. The sketch is lovely as well and I really enjoyed playing with my newly acquired Silhouette.

I'm also very grateful for Pinterest for helping me find Birds Cards where I got this free background cut file!
Stay tuned...I have more to share!

Beauty in Stone

Our recent trip to Siem Reap in Cambodia was called "Beauty in Stone" and this is the title I used for my layout. The title is just perfect because the stone carvings are really beautiful and intricate. Its so hard to believe that they were made in the 13th century!

Anyway, here's my layout using My Mind's Eye and inspired by the May Sketch at Creative Scrappers!

Here's the sketch if you want to play along too...

Thanks for dropping by!

Sweet Smile

The May Challenge is up at SCRAP THE GIRLS, and its a fun one. All you need to do is to use the quote, "A smile is the best make up a girl can wear." It can be part of your title or your journaling.

Here's my layout...

I hope you like it coz I had fun making it. Played with texture paste and distress inks for this one.

Don't forget to link up you layout before the end of the month!

Last Minute Entries

I managed to finish a couple of layouts in time for the deadline for My Scraps and More Sketches' April challenges.

Here they are...and the sketches that were the starting point for the layout follows.

Thanks for dropping by!

Some unshared layouts...

April is almost over, and it sure went by fast! With the kids on summer vacation, our days have been busy with swimming and ballet lessons and of course going on out of town trips. This means lots photos but less scrapping time.

Just sharing some layouts I finished in the past...

This layout is based on Inspired Blueprints Sketch #87 last March.

This layout is based on a sketch at My Scraps and More 

Thanks for dropping by. I'm off to finish a layout!

What a Day!

We were on a staycation during the past holiday...of course a scrapper takes advantage of this time to play with paper, scissors and glue.


Here is just one of the six layouts I finished during that weekend...

Did this for the MME March Sketch Challenge...yup, still scrapping pics for our SG trip. Better do so now before summer photos start piling up.


In case you want some inspiration, here's the sketch I'm talking about...

Will be posting some of the other layouts I finished in the coming days.

Time Together

I recently discovered the sketches at Pamela's World of Scrap and decided to play along with Sketch 231...
