go krissy!!!

woohoo our gorgeous Krissy is a featured scrapper in this month's scrapbooking memories magazine so if you can, make sure you check it out.....way to go girl..what an awesome thing for you and so deserved too!! CONGRATULATIONS honey...."mwah"

full view!

for our august classes this month we focused on baby layouts using products from SEI......and here is what we came up with.....the first three layouts are the gorgeous work of the wonderful Krissy Christie.....they are just sooooooo gorgeous...i loved doing them...my boy versions of krissy's layouts are shown below also.....but first Krissy's..... "precious baby girl"

"sweet dreams little one"

"happy little lady"

i created a double page layout but the photo turned out awful so i have the pages shown here separately...just keep in mind they go together.....this first one is the left hand side page

this the the right hand side page for my "sweet dreams little one" double page layout....i kept this layout very simple but added creative elements by using puff elements stickers, the cuttlebug and shapabilities die cuts.....

just a little close up of the cuttlebug pieces and the patterned papers we used.....

the three layouts above are the boy versions of Krissy's gorgeous designs as i mentioned before....

if you were unable to attend classes this month and would like to create these gorgeous pages drop me an email cause i still have a few packs available for sale with complete instructions and templates......

thanks for looking...chat to you soon

challenge time

for the DT's thats is!..how would you like a turn at challenging us...that's right either email me or add a challenge here in the comments section for one of us in particular , either sandy, krissy or myself, or just a challenge in general for us all to complete...i thought it might be a bit of fun to let you girls have the say for a change....so what do you think???? who's up for it????

up to date!

just letting you all know that i have finally updated the "live to scrap" blog with june and july catch up challenges as well as the challenges for this month....hope you enjoy them girls!

don't forget to check out "read while i'm alive " as well as i updated it a couple of days ago as well...

sunday workshops

here is a little looky at the paper and embellies we will be using in this months sunday workshops...with our theme being baby i am sure you will agree these are just perfect! the photos aren't what i would call the best...the colours are a little off but they are better than showing you nothing at all......all kits have the same elements to them just either in the boy or girl colours.... here we have the papers for the "girl"pack..the reverse sides are plain colours to co-ordinate so i didn't bother photographing them...

next we have the label stickers, vellum quote and the 7 different 30cm pieces of ribbon we will use....

also this month we have these gorgeous puff elements stickers....and of course our bazzill (5) some gorgeous white thickers and some really cute mini buttons.....

this is the "boy" papers..they definately look so much nicer IRL...... and of course embellies.....

well i hope you like this teaser and i will be adding sneak peaks of the pages and photo requirements soon so keep an eye on the blog for more info!!

have a great day
