Slice Of Life

Here is my entry for the first week of the Slice Of Life competition over at Enchanted Scrapbooking. The layout was to be inpsired by the following quote;

"In the end, life is not measured in the amount of breaths we take,
but by the moments that take our breath away." Shing Xiong

The layout is of my DD napping on a friends lounge. A big thank you to Tracey who took the photo and altered it too! I stamped around the edges of the photo, layered it with a few pieces of paper and added a stunning flower I received from Shelee last year. I am really pleased with the way it has turned out!

Now to work on my 52Q's... I am so behind! LOL...
Thanks for stopping by! xxx

April LSBS Cybercrop

A few weeks ago, LSBS had their cybercrop and I really love the wonderful challenges the DT come up with every month. My only wish was that I had the time to do them all! This time around, I completed Belle's inspirational challenge on the hard work women face. For some reason this challenge spoke to me and I went back to our baby albums and found this pici of my gorgeous DD when she was just a few weeks old! Thank you for the beautiful challenge Belle! xxx

Enchanted Class

Last Sunday evening I joined an online class over at Enchanted, using their "Whoooo Loves Fairies" kit. The class was wonderful and I really enjoyed scrapping in a different style, using papers and embellies I may not otherwise have used. I believe this kit is now sold out, but three new kits went up last night and they are gorgeous - I just had to buy a few! Have a great weekend! xxx

May ARTastic Challenge

The May Challenge over at ARTastic is up... this month the artist is Dali and his painting, "Landscape with Butterflies." I also found out this week that I am part of the contributing team at ARTastic along with some other talented ladies! I am really excited because this is the first time I have been part of a "team" and secondly, I truly love the idea of being inspired by art...

Here is my layout for ARTastic for the April Challenge, where the artist featured was Klimt. The layout is called "Dream" and it is a pici of my DD taking a nap at a friend's place! Thank you for the photo Tracey! Thanks for stopping by! xxx

ARTastic Challenge Blog

There is a new challenge blog and the idea is so clever...
It showcases art by the Masters and then uses these images and paintings as inspiration for your scrapping.
You can check out more here.

I am looking forward to having a go at the challenge, even though April is almost over! This month, the blog is looking at the artist Gustav Klimt. So if you are a little arty and feel like a different challenge, have a look at some wonderful paintings and layouts for inspiration...

Little Girls

Here are some pictures of a mini album/card I made last month. It began as a handmade challenge over at D2U and after that, I had to make one for myself! It is basically a fold out card made from a half a sheet of bazzill. The six sections are embellished with patterned papers, photos and other goodies. I turned mine into a mini album and secured it with a ribbon. My friend Tracey took the photos of my girls... don't the photos look amazing?
Thanks for looking! xxx

Fairy Goodness

A dose of fairy goodness has arrived at the blog turned site Enchanted Scrapbooking. They have gorgeous kits and a lovely forum, blog and gallery. Yesterday I did a layout for the April challenge using my "fairy name" as inspiration... my name is
Bramble Icefrost. I drew this picture when I was 19, in 1994...
and have now featured it in a layout. Thanks for taking a look! xxx
