Sunflower 4

So little time this week but the sketch over at Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo lends itself perfectly to pocket scrapbooking which is the perfect kind of memory keeping for people with little time to create!   
I have worked ahead so this will be filled in with photos after the big day!

MWM Jade 9


A tricky sketch this week from  the Scrapbook Steals blog, it is the Midweek Mojo Jade 9.
I have never attempted a sunburst pattern before and had no idea how to do it.  I kinda just winged it with a ruler and some scissors.  There is a bit of overlapping going on and I am glad the centre point is covered with the photo! It took some time but I am really pleased with the finished design!
I love these papers, they are My Minds Eye Lost and Found 3 Oliver and I also used some MME Lost and Found 2 Breeze embellishments.

Thanks for dropping by!

MWM Jade 8

Here is my Mid Week Mojo Jade 8 layout.
You can find the sketch over on the Scrapbook Steals Blog challenge post here!
I struggled to find the photo to use and ended up having to flip the sketch as all my best photos were portrait!
 lots of stitching on my layout as always!
 The papers and embellishments are all My Minds Eye.

Cute Card Thursday and Jade 6

Finally I have something new to share with you!  
This is the first scrapping I have done since November so I was determined to make the theme over at 
Cute Card Thursday fit a layout!
A nice easy one this week
Diamonds are a girls best friend - use gems!
We are sponsored by Whimsy Stamps this week.
The Websters Pages Story marker was so perfect for this theme so I planned the layout to incorporate it.
I used the fantastic sketch Jade 6 which you can find over at the Scrapbook Steals blog.

The papers, embellishments and stamps are all My Minds Eye 'All is Bright'.

Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo Coral4

I am back from the second Scrapbook Steals Retreat, sigh. It was once again amazing, we had a ball!  We had American Crafts, Lifestyle Crafts, Authentique, MME and WRMK classes/make and takes. 
I also managed to finish my Halloween album, will share it at a later date, lots of pages to photograph!
 Here is my Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo coral 4.  using MME Kraft Fun Day.

Scrapbook Steals Mid Week Mojo Coral 2

 Here is my entry for Scrapbook Steals Mid Week Mojo, the second sketch in the Coral series.
Another fantastic sketch by the uber talented Kristy, we are going to miss her when she starts her new role!
 I used My Minds Eye Indie Chic Citron.  I knew it was perfect when I spotted the 'love to watch you grow' title.
 I stitched almost anything I could on this layout, with the result it took me about 3 days to complete! For those who worry that their sewing machines will be ruined after stitching paper, once I had stitched this lot I had to stitch up my daughter's handles on her fabric bag and it stitched perfectly!  
I love that they have matching Washi tape for this collection!
thanks for dropping by, have a great weekend!

Scrapbook Steals Mid Week Mojo coral 1

Scrapbook Steals blog is starting a new series of 10  mid week mojo challenges this week. 
Each week you have a chance of winning a prize but if you complete all 10 you can also win the grand prize!
This series is called Coral and here is my layout using the sketch 

 The collection I used is My Minds Eye Lost and Found Two Breeze.  Of course bought from 
It is so perfect for baby and small boy layouts, I have been saving it for some time to scrap my boys' baby pictures!



I will be back in the morning with a card from the latest Whimsy Rubber release so I hope you will come back then.  Thanks for dropping by, have a great weekend!

ScrapbookSteals MWM and MME September challenge

Having to wait in today for the pool guy to come,  I awarded myself a creative day and managed to squeeze in 2 challenges! 
First up I just had to use the fantastic sketch for Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo Pearl 10 designed by my friend Kerys.  
 and because I was using My Minds Eye Indie Chic Nutmeg collection (which just happens to have come from Scrapbook Steals) I decided I could also join in the My Minds Eye September Challenge which is Make it Work (you have to make a matching card for your layout)
 I used the sketch from Scrapbook Steals Monday Card Madness for my card so I guess you could say 3 challenges in 1!  I really enjoyed the challenge of making my card match my layout, it is easy to use the same papers but takes a bit more thought to use the same elements!

Scrapbook Steals MWM Pearl 9b

I finished this layout Wednesday night so I don't know why I haven't posted it before now!  I used the fantastic sketch from Scrapbook Steals MWM Pearl 9b designed by Erica Bass.  
It was so perfect for these photos but I realized I had no wintry papers to match.  Imagine my surprise when I found these Authentique Fresh papers worked so well. They are actually beach themed!

 These were the only words I could use from the collection that didn't directly refer to a beach theme!  Think it works pretty well!
 I used my Whimsy Stamps Spell it out stamp set to create the title.

Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo

At last I am up to date with the Mid Week Mojos over at the Scrapbook Steals blog.
Of course, this is merely because it is only week 2 of the current series!  I am determined to keep up this time!
This is the current MWM Pearl 2 designed by guest designer Katrina Hunt.
The kit I used is a former steal My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2 Sunshine

I was so lucky to attend a local crop on Saturday with my friend Kerys and some of the other Scrapbook steals community girls!  Although I didn't get these completely finished at the crop I did manage to get 2 almost done layouts.
the second one is the Pearl 1 MWM the sketch designed by Erin Schulz.  
If you can't tell, these 2 layouts form a double page spread. My favourite way to scrap!
 At the crop I also  got to test out todays steal  (Martha Stewart craft glitters) over at Scrapbook Steals.
I created a card for today's Monday Card Madness  following Kristy's fabulous sketch.
My little boat is sailing on a sea of Martha Stewart craft glitter hearts!
Although a very simple design it was not an easy card to make as I took only very limited supplies to the crop! 
 I ended up having to borrow the circle punches to execute my design!
This is the photo Kristy took of it and has used both on the Scrapbook Steals webpage and also on the Scrapbook Steals blog today.
Off to get caught up on some other crafty goodness!
Thank you for dropping by!

Midweek mojo and MME April challenge

 Although I am way behind with the Amethyst Midweek Mojos over at Scrapbook Steals blog (only done 3 out of 9) I had to jump in and do Amethyst 8 with this paper collection and photo.  
I thought this would take a lot longer but having the  paper collection (My Minds Eye 'Follow your heart') courtesy of Scrapbook Steals made it come together so quickly.
The sketch was also so perfect to combine with the My Minds Eye April Challenge which was to use 
hexagons!

Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo Amethyst 1 and 2

Another page done for Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo this one is done using the sketch from 
Amethyst 1.
It is the second page of a double page layout!
I haven't decided on the journaling yet, might see if my son has any memories from this birthday that he wants to add.
The papers are My Minds Eye 'Dilly Dally'
here is a reminder of the first page.  
I seem to prefer doing double pages or I have angst over what will go beside it, I totally have a thing about everything matching!
Because these 2 layouts were photographed at different times the bottom one looks much duller but in actual fact they match up in real life quite well!
This one is Amethyst 2!
Now just got another 3 layouts to catch up!

Thanks for dropping by!

Scrapbook Steals Amethyst # 2


 I have been neglecting my scrapbooking lately so decided it was time to catch up the Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo challenge.  This one is for Amethyst #2.
There is a new sketch each Wednesday to be completed by the following Monday and if you do all 10 there is a fantastic grand prize!
I used My Minds Eye ~ Miss Caroline ~ Dilly Dally collection kit for this layout, the colours matched perfectly with the yellows in the cake and table cover!
I got the MME kit from Scrapbook Steals a couple of weeks ago along with the other Miss Caroline sets, I couldn't chose between them.  
Love all the co-ordinating embellishments in these sets!
Thanks for dropping by, hope you have a fantastic weekend!

WOYWW

Wednesday again means it is time for Whats on your workdesk Wednesday!
This week I am  making my CCT card so if you want to see it finished you can to pop back tomorrow, here is a sneak peek though.....

Admittedly, I did take the picture yesterday as at this time in the morning it is horribly dark and I guessed you might like to see the sunshine streaming in. Those are blinds by the way, not prison bars!
********
 Here is the finished layout I was deciding on last week, I finally picked out some Bo Bunny papers that matched my son's shirt!  I had such a job matching papers to my Christmas photos this year, next year I am going to make everyone wear black and white on Christmas Day!
I used a fabulous sketch from the Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo, this one is Garnet 1, they are now up to Garnet 7 so I am a little behind!  
 So, last week I was preparing for the snow and boy, did it come!
 This shovel became buried just on Saturday night, the kids had played with it on Saturday afternoon and left it there, when we got back from our basketball game we found over a foot of snow on our drive!  Hubby had to snow blow just to put the car away!  He would have driven through the foot and a bit but the winds had formed a snow dune right in front of his garage which was more like 4 foot high!
 Brenda commented last week that we should have a snow blower, well we do but it is a monster that runs away with me so I still prefer to shovel.  Anyway, we have steps up the front and to the back yard so we have to shovel those bits. 
(These pics taken first thing Sunday morning, before the shoveling!)
 Thankfully our snow tends to be very light and powdery so it is very easy to shovel.  The greatest snow on earth you know!
*****************
Hope you will join us in our weekly nose around, if you would like to play along pop on over to Julia Dunnit's blog for the deets!

Scrapbook Steals Opal 5a

 Here it is, finished at last!  I had hoped to finish this at the weekend but at least it is finished before this weekend! Only just!
This is another layout based on the sketch from last week for the Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo Opal 5a.  We were provided with 2 amazing sketches and I just had to do them both!  
Now I am behind on Opal 6!!! 
The papers are the beautiful My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2.  I couldn't believe how perfect this paper was for this sketch, made creating the banner so easy!  I can't wait for these papers to be featured on 
 If you don't know the store you should really check them out, they have papers, tools and embellishments all at bargain prices!
 gorgeous embellishments like these make creating a layout a breeze!
Hope you have something special planned for this weekend, I am hoping for a quiet one, I will be working on some creations to share next week at the Whimsy Stamps Rubber Release when I will be doing a little guest spot!
Whatever you have planned, have a great one!
Thanks for dropping by!

Opal 5 - So cute!

 Here is my layout for the Scrapbook Steals Midweek Mojo Opal 5.
This is my first one, hoping to do the second sketch over the weekend!
I used my delicious new My Minds Eye 'Lost and Found 2' papers, a very generous prize from MME! 
Beautiful papers and so many fabulous embellishments, I was spoilt for choice.
Of course now I am hooked, I am going to have to go shopping for the other sets!
 The little butterflies are from the clear stamp set
 The little black chipboard pieces came out of the CUTE chipboard pieces, when a product is this good we have to use every little piece, right?
Thank you so much for dropping by!  Have a fantastic weekend!
