YOU AND ME

Merry Christmas to you all. Thank you for stopping by my blog this year. I appreciate your support. 

Wishing you a happy new year too,  stay safe on the roads xx

Here is my last scrapbooking layout for 2018.  

I have already started working on layouts for 2019. There are some great challenges set for next year. Hopefully you can find the time to play along.

Who's excited for christmas??? 

This time next week it will be Christmas Day - yikes, scary hey?!?

This weeks layout has the You stole my heart chipboard title on 

it. It's a very appropriate title for this photo of Leah and Eric. 

The other piece of chipboard that I used is from the September release. It is the Large Torn Mesh Shape which I have cut up into two pieces and covered with Crackle Accents.

On the chipboard I have painted it with Art Alchemy acrylic paint. It gives the chipboard a nice shiny finish once painted.

Howdy. Thanks for stopping by.

Today I'm sharing another layout that I have done of Leah's 

European holiday. I have heaps to do still so watch this space!

 On this layout I have used the A2Z Scraplets World Traveller chipboard title and the Chicken Wire 6x6 piece. 

I have painter the title with Prima Metallic Accents paints. I used the Black Static which gave the chipboard piece a nice touch of shimmer but still keeping it quite a flat tone. The chicken wire pieces have just been left natural.

Awwww aren't my kids just the cutest!!! 

I love that they are good friends and have so much banter going on between them. 

This layout is my December challenge inspiration layout. 

I have used the colours of the mood board but didn't really 

have any nice Christmas photos as I always forget to take photos 

on the day. Christmas is all about family so I thought I'd scrap 

a layout of my masterpieces instead. 

I've kept the chipboard pieces that I have used natural, I 

think they pop better on the layout. 

The chipboard pieces are available over on the A2Z Scraplets 

shop if you'd like to take a look. 

They are Sibling Love  and Dotty Criss Cross Texture

White with 1 - December DT layout

This months colour at White with 1 is Vivid Gold. 

Something I haven't got much of in my scrapping stash!

Lucky I attended a class by Heidi Swapp when she was in 

Australia and I got some gold minc foil and some sticker 

letters that I used the foil on. And of course I have all the 

Heidi Swapp sprays so I sprayed gold onto white card to use 

on my layout too.

Hopefully you aren't too busy at this time of the year to take 

part in our challenge and create something pretty.

Thanks for stopping by my blog - I love and appreciate visitors stopping by xxx

Howdy - Happy Tuesday.

If you haven't met Eric before, this is our dog that runs our house. 

I was once my husbands best friend until this dog turned up....

We now have to go to places that Eric can go to so that he's not home by himself lonely...Never in a million early would I have thought our household would change this much by getting a dog!

So here is a double layout I have done of my husband and his best friend! Actually looking at these photos I'm pretty lucky that I was allowed to sit in the front seat, but of course Eric is between us!!!

The A2Z Scraplets chipboard title Man's Best Friend and the background chipboard piece called Geo Criss Cross texture 

have been painted with Kaisercaft Winter Blue paint to match 

the blue tones in the patterned paper.

Hows this for a crazy layout? Yes we are are kind of a bit crazy when we go to retreats.

Most people think of retreats as relaxing....hahaha not scrapbooking retreats! They are full of late late nights, too much chocolate, sometimes too much alcohol and plenty of belly laughs. Oh and not to forget snap chat photos when you are tired and delirious.

Here is a small collection of photos of Paige and I at a recent retreat.

The Retreat Time chipboard that I have used has been embossed with Stampendous Shabby Blue embossing powder. It is multi toned and blends nicely with the paper colours that I have used.
