My Once upon a Sketch entry!!

Well, have had a very busy week here, setting up a new online business, working 3 days a week and preparing for a house inspection, and arrival of my parents.
But in the early hours of this morning, I managed to finish off a layout! This one is dedicated to a friend from home, who I worked with and who I miss. Particularly as i have just started working in Darwin, and on my own this time. It's not as much fun as it was last year working with her and other girls! (That covered the journalling criteria for the challenge). I think I have stuck to the sketch fairly well and made it a very simple layout as it is a 7.5 x 7.5" layout for a mini album i am making of all my friends.
products used were; PATTERNED PAPERS- NIKI SIVILS AND STUDIO FLERGS, CARDSTOCK- BAZZILL, PROVO CRAFT ALPHAS & COMPUTER FONT.

Gorgeous New Product Pre Release!!!!

have a look at all these great new stamps and 12 x 12" card packs to compliment each paper range, what a fab idea, kaszazz, well done. Drop me an email if you would like to view the products a bit more closely! Or you would like any further info. tan.dave@bigpond.com

CSI- Case File # 10

No it's not a forensic show, but it is: COLOR, STORIES AND INSPIRATION.http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/  another great inspirational blog I have found on my travels through the web. This one is a little different than the rest and I really like the way it challenges you to think and move out of your scrapping comfort zone. But it gives you lots of clues and inspiration, so why not go and check them out. it's a weekly challenge blog, so you always have the weekend to finish it off if your stuck through the week!

I just love a giveaway and Melinda Spinks at the Scrap Farm is emptying out her stash and making room for her impending new arrival! Go and check out her blog and find out what you need to do to be in with a chance at winning this yummy stash! There's a litte bit of My Little Shoebox thrown in aswell!

School Days

Getting some School Photos scrapped! I've finally started my son's album. My daughter's was up to date, but here we are in another year, at a New School and there are more stories to be added. having the School Days album from Kaszazz makes it so much easier. Once you have decorated your album covers and added a few pockets, it's held together by split rings, you can just add layouts and info as you go. You can fit all their School years into one or two albums. I like to keep everything, so I am making one for the Primary years and one for the high School years! (Hoping they don't come around too quickly!) This one is a great project to do with the kids in the School Holidays after they've had their School photos, or right now at the start of a new School Year! Feel free to contact me for more info on the album, or check out the catalogue, top right, page 235. tan.dave@bigpond.com

Travel Album sneak peak

A few posts ago, I mentioned I am scrappping an album of our travels from Port Douglas to Darwin. I have a few layouts finished, but haven't yet finished the cover. I'm thinking if I post the ones i have done so far, it will keep me motivated to finish the whole album. It was an 8 day journey, but of course, I took soooo many images. Trying to pick the highlights and fit lots of journalling where I can. i haven't really used the "AZURE PAPER RANGE" (page 11), FROM KASZAZZ , much, so decided to use a kit with all the papers in the range, for my album. It has earthy tones which i wanted and just reminded me of the outback and Aboriginal Paintings. I'm going to upload gradually so as to not overwhelm you all!! Thanks for looking!

This page has been embellished by a stamped image, (BIRD HOUSE), coloured with Smooch inks and water brush, and some hand made flowers!

ONCE UPON A SKETCH CHALLENGE

Well, I have been looking for some inspiration to get back into my scrapbooking. i haven't made nearly as many layouts as I have cards this year, and it's time to get into recording all those memories again. So after blog hopping the other night, I came across Once Upon a Sketch Blog and their March 1st challenge. We all have trouble scrapping ourselves, but we really should! It's actually quite therapeutic. Hope you like my interpretation of the sketch. I look forward to playing along again, there are some very talented contributors over there!!!

Wow, how quickly the months go by. I've had plenty of time to get crafty these last couple of months, but still they fly by. I have more great Promotions from Kaszazz for March just bursting for you to take a look at: There are great opportunities for you to stock up on your trimmer blades & flowers, and for every $60 in your order you earn a FREEBIE. Remember if you are in the Darwin area, I would love to have you be a Host at one of my Customer Events, check out what you can get for FREE, below!

Have a great weekend, and contact me for all your Kaszazz needs! tan.dave@bigpond.com
