Lots of creating this week ... happily got my act together, with the help of the girls :) (internet and crop friends, bless their hearts). We went to a local craft show and I was very good!! just a book and a few embellishments - no paper! Also, I haven't digi scrapped for a week or so, and felt the need - promised myself that I'll set aside at least a day of 'me' scrapping every week (that's the plan!) 3 new kits in the stores... and made this one mainly using the new 'FRESH' kit ... Big keyhole is from 'CHIPBOARD CRAZY' and layout features Carly at Kew Gardens. Also used elements from Lizards, Land of Make Believe and Tiny Tags. Quote labels made with thanks to Atomic Cupcake.
'FRESH' Elements Pack is packed to the hilt with fresh spring-like goodies ... and will see you through a multitude of layouts... this kit also includes a complete alphabet, numbers and 23 symbols no less! The alpha tags are doodled, along with a doodled frame, corner, hinges and watercolour flowers on the frame - some of the doodles are in black and white as well as coloured.
Soft papers to compliment the elements - some with a little pattern, some a little textured and some a mix of both. Available kits: 'FRESH' Elements pack, Paper pack or the whole bundle (latter with a saving). Kits available at NDISB, Treasures to Scrap and ScrapScandiStyle (links at the top of the sidebar to the right).

I love this photo of Carly - in the Boneyard at Disneys Animal Kingdom - we've spent a fair few hours there over the years - digging up the woolly mammoth, deep in concentration, while Paul and I happily relaxed in the shade. Kits used: FRESH, Dinosaurs, A Real Gem, Hearts and Flowers and In Stitches ... labelling courtesy of Atomic Cupcake.
I've thoroughly enjoyed scrapping this week, scanned some old photo's that I've been meaning to scrap for months. I'm experimenting with drop shadows, not sure if I'm getting anywhere, but it's fun trying :) Kits used: FRESH, Land of Make Believe, In Stitches, Tiny Tags and Oh Boy. Elliott image and 'Pete's Dragon' title found on an internet search.
Carly looks so tiny here, can't remember the year, though could hazard a guess. Photo taken at the entrance to SeaWorld in Orlando - a favourite place for us all. Kits used: FRESH, Hearts and Flowers and A Little Sunshine. Little fish are brushes (but can't remember who I need to credit!). I'm a huge journaling fan and confess to waffling on and on and..... :)
Another mega kit to tempt you - includes 8 yummy papers, frames, layered edge - everything you see on the preview and more. Packed kit with enough of everything to make loads of layouts - digi, hybrid, paper- think out of the box :) Glitter and gems here too :)
What on eart was I thinking LOL - get a load of the boobs ... before they went south and when I had a waist - Malta 1980, mmm I remember it well LOL ... can remember us girls visiting churches and being swathed in headscarfs - to cover our flesh (almost ran out of headscarfs!). I often wonder what it would be like to go back there now, my friend Jo went a couple of years ago and I think nothing much has changed. Kits used: A Little Sunshine, Fresh, Lizards, English Heritage, Baby Love, Land of Make Believe and Art Explosion... very spicy :)
ANN... this one's for you - remember?! LOL ... a school trip to Holland and Belgium - a few years ago! We were in a Dutch fishing village, I thought it may be Marken - but not sure - if anybody knows, please drop me a line :) Everybody dressed up in costume, uncomfortable clogs and all. Kits used: A Little Sunshine, A Grand Day Out, Fresh ... windmill is Microsoft clip-art and chain is a brush... happy memories :)
This cute little moth had attached itself to the outside of our patio doors, so I was able to get a 360deg view... sort of looks like little bunny ears and it's body is all fluffy ... bog standard moth to the naked eye - high 5 for macro mode. Kits used: A Little Sunshine, Cartoon Capers, Baby Love, A Real Gem and Luisa's Debut.
Created for Di Hickmans blog and using one of her fabulous sketches ... photographed at Kew Gardens - 6 small photo's are from the aquarium - hidden inside one of the glass houses. Gorgeous place to visit at any time of year. Kit used: A Little Sunshine.
We had alot of fun at our crop yesterday... a little food... a little scrapping and alot of chat and great company :) And look at all that stash!!!!!!!! and line-up of colourful totes; must have been thousands of £'s of stuff in that room :)
Chipboard Crazy? ... then this one's for you :) 21 chipboard elements - dress them up, dress them down, perfect for any layout... all very easy to embellish and recolour. Kit available at NDISB, Treasures to Scrap and ScrapScandiStyle (links to stores in sidebar).
Carly would have been 2 or just turned 3 here ... and Sweep the little grey dog, went everywhere with her. I used to design stuff in crochet - childrens clothes and toys mainly, she was a very reluctant model! Kits used: Chipboard Crazy, A Grand Day Out, A Delicate Touch, Pets, Hearts and Flowers and Fresh; title lettering from a kit for my Guest CT, stickman from Cartoon Capers, In Stitches. I'm glad I finally got some of these photo's scrapped, in the days before I went digi, and intent on getting at least one good photo, I went through several rolls of film and trips to Boots!
A very rare photo of Carly in a dress... neither of us own one now LOL. Photographed at Swiss Gardens in Old Warden - love this pic of her, albeit a little on the fuzzy side :) Kits used putting this one together: Pets Bundle, Fresh, English Heritage, A Little Sunshine, Hearts and Flowers. Title lettering is by Ida at Catscrap... font: Bud Hand.
Almost forgot to advertise this one - just for the boys in your life. After Land of Make Believe, I had requests to make a 'boy' kit - so a few doodles later and Oh Boy was born. A collection of 24 hand drawn elements - 21 have been hand coloured and the clouds were digitally made; 2 coloured frames and a brush set.
Set of 12 masculine papers (a little on the grungy side) in this pack, to match the hand drawn elements. Kits available separately or as a complete bundle (with a saving)... available in the stores at NDISB, Treasures to Scrap and ScrapScandiStyle (store links in the sidebar).
Photo taken at Universal in Hollywood on a studio tour - Norman was glaring out of the motel window and his mother was rocking at a window in the house - complete with body in the boot of the car ...scary!!! Kits used: Pets (paper), A Little Sunshine, Fresh and Spellbound. Shower image is Microsoft clip-art. Several other elements coming to a kit soon.
