Prima BAP Dec 2010

Here is a layout I have recently created for the Prima BAP Competitin for Dec, this is a very special photo as this amazing wee fella was born at 26 weeks and only weighed 955g he is now 3 months old and now weighs 7lbs. His name is Kaleb Smith and he is a truly amazing little man, he has done so well in to the last 3months that he is now home and his Mummy and Daddy were able to spend Christmas at home with him and all his santa goodies instead of in the NICU unit at Dunedin Hospital. Hopefully I will be allowed more photos in the future to share with you.........

Used mostly Prima goodies on this layout except for the chipboard "Magical Moments" which I got from "Meant to Be" scrapbooking in Australia, a fantastic company who will create anything you would like in chipboard especially kids names or place names, words etc. Terry will be very helpful and try and help you with your requirements.

Thanks for looking

Boyzone Challenge at Scrappin Patch....

Isn't this little face gorgeous.....This is Finn, a very handsome young man, who's Big Sister Sherie let me use his photo for a very special layout (or 2!) but especially for the Boyzone Challenge at Scrappin Patch which ends on the 15th January, so I hope there are lots of photos being taken over the next week or so and lots of layouts being created to enter this competition. The only requirement is that its "Boyz at Play" now this of course is open to interpretation it could also be big boys at play and with New Years fast approaching I'm sure we could get a few neat layouts in the Gallery......

Anyway here is Finn....

So what do you think...............Keen to have a go....well then the folder is open in the gallery and waiting for some layouts

I will keep an eye out to see who is first, you just never know there might be a wee prize for that as well

Week 6 - at BPS - Black and White with Nic....All finished Now!

Well its over and what a 6 week ride it has been, there is no more waiting for teatime on Thursdays now as its ALL OVER!, Finished, Kaput, Finito....
The Black and White colours of the 6th week were really a challenge especially when I stuck the white pic on the black card and vice versa and couldn't change them (yes even I do it lol) I did enjoy the cards tho and then the layout, I knew straight away what photo I was going to use and the whole layout fell into place, I think the final result is Ok



I love how the Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers came out being made in black cardstock and then dunked in some diamond dust.

Here is the black and white cards for you to have a peek at....

Thanks for taking the time to have a look.... Leave me a comment if you like and let me know what you think of the Layout and Cards

Week 5 - Purple at BPS with Nic

I would throughly recommend these classes, the content is amazing and the way we have been made to think about the colours we use on layouts has been wonderful. Instead of just throwing some of this and a little of that on there, you actually start to think about the colour combo's, and Nics teaching Skills are second to none.

Week 5 was no exception, we used purple - a mixture of Indigo and Violet.

My Friend Sharon, was over the moon when this colour came up as its her definate favourite and she completed 2 wonderful layouts and her wee colour cards as well, really doing the colour justice.



I have enjoyed using this colour on the 1st layout, but then we had an opportunity to use it in an xtra challenge along with another of my favourite companies goodies and the is Dusty Attic, so you will see I have plenty as used 3 pieces on my layout.



Anyway thanks for looking and hope you have a wonderful weekend, I have the last scrap saturday tomorrow here in Dunedin for the year with a group of like minded Friends, if any of you would like to join us next year for a 3 weekly/monthly Scrap Saturday then let me know and I will give you the details.

Week 4 - Blue with Nic over at BPS

Wow........Loved this challenge, its a Double, something I definately do not do that often But I used some of my Prima favourites from this season being Jack n Jill and spread the vines across both pages to give it some "flow", you can't see it very well but each strip is lifted and the photos are flat on the base to give it some dimension (looks better in real life).
It just all fell into place and I love the outcome, what do you think?

The little gate is Dusty Attic (another favourite Company) and I even managed to get a little silver Bell to put under our last name.
