After my big move I have not really had time to play with my Silhouette machines and so they have sat in situ for a few months now and so I decided to crank them up today since I had to quickly churn out a challenge inspirational project for Altair Art since I once again got the rules wrong!  Ho hum, details, details, details.  I am actually very sorry Anka. So, the theme is celebration and my 2 projects I have done for the month are to do with a new baby and so I did a boy scrapbooking layout and a girl scrapbooking layout.  For the inspirational piece I have chosen to go with birthday celebration and did a kind of flower display I guess.  I got the file from simplysvgcuts.com and off we went.  It was all pretty easy to assemble and then I added in a few more elements that I die cut out on my Sizzix machine, just to add a bit more to the layout. It is ok as a finished product, but not really my sort of thing.  I might even play around with it and see i...

Recently, I got to do a layout for a friend of a beautiful baby boy in blue.  Really gorgeous little boy too.  Anyhoo, I had lots of fun with this layout, using 3 different stencils, Kaisercraft ephemera and a lovely piece of ScrapFX chipboard. The background paper is from the Kaisercraft Frosted range that has Christmas elements on it, so I just covered those up creatively with ripped paper panels top and bottom.  I had a bit of fun with stencilling on this one, using 3 different stencils all with silver embossing paste.  The butterfly stencil is also from Kaiser, but I must confess that I am a little in love with it.  The ephemera is also from Kaisercraft, but the swirly chippy piece is from Scrap FX, which I embossed using a few different powders.  The lattice panel, I cut out on the Silhouette and painted with some silver watercolour paint.  This is a really pretty layout and once it goes in a white frame, it will look beautifully finished. ...

A little babe has been born unto my family to my niece, a little boy and my present to Mum is to be the self appointed Chief Scrapbooker and Documenter of Life.  I proudly take on this position, firstly, how cool and secondly, I really need photo subjects.  Please note, this is a genuine offer, if you would like a photo scrapbooked, please send it to me as I am more than willing to do so.  Currently, I have a 16yo daughter who is not overly fond of the camera.  Don't know why, as she is very beautiful.  I am working on her. As soon as I saw this pic of little babe wrapped in the yellow towel, I knew exactly which paper I would be using.  I had spied the yellow lemon paper when I first bought this pad and so it was the perfect match.
