Scrapbooking at a Retreat...

I was fortunate to attend a Scrapbooking Retreat a few years ago. Ngaire Bartlam taught us a layout. Must admit that I really struggled with putting them together.

Today I have the layout to share with you.

We used packaging from the rubons on the layout as well.

Back again....

I'm back again, from a short break. I have still been doing a little of craft, as well as spending time with the family.

Over the next few days/weeks, I will be sharing with you some of scrapbook layouts. The first few that I'll be sharing are some of my early layouts. Looking back at them now, I see how far I have come and I have a few special ladies to thank for sharing different techniques with me.

So today, I have to share with you my very first ever layout. We had professional photos taken of our daughter (she was born at 27 1/2 weeks).

This layout was done at a retreat, where we were told what to take, but didn't know the layout. Instructions were read out to us and we had to decipher the instructions. This is my version....

Take Time....

...to enjoy the simple things in life.

I know that I have trouble doing this. I'm going to try this year to just sit back and just enjoy the little things. Whether it be watching crabs whilst waiting for the ferry to go back to the mainland from Fraser Island, or listening to my daughter laughing. There's so many things that we miss.....

Slip Covers

Today I have five slip covers to share with you. The templates for these can be purchased from My Time Made Easy. They are really easy to make. I've used punches for the flowers. The names I have hand stitched on to ovals.

Predominately Pink!!!!

Today I have 2 cards to share with you. On both cards I have used 3d stickers. I find that using the 3d stickers is so much easier if you want a quick card.

Chameleon Pens

Today I have 3 cards to share with you. Last week I received Chameleon Pens in the mail. I am excited to be able to learn how to use these pens.

The following cards I have used the pens on the 3 stamped images. I still have heaps to learn, normally I would used watercolour pencils and these pens are a totally different "kettle of fish". I still have to learn how to blend the colours.

Sheep Card

Today I have a card that I made for a swap. This is what I came up with - we had to have a sheep theme for the card.
