You're Savvy Kit!

July sees the release of our first ever YOU'RE SAVVY KIT over at Scrapbook Savvy. Due to a stock issue we were unable to release the three kits as planned for July, so these kits have been pushed back to August and Sara created this kit to get us all by for the month without having to do without a kit! I know how much we all love that little Savvy parcel on the doorstep each month, so we are very happy to be able to give you at least one kit for the month!

Here's what it looks like...


And my pages created today whilst I was lucky enough to be scrapping with Linda, Nat & my mum.

Bird Watching - my gorgeous little Bronte sitting outside on the driving, just watching the birds go by, god love her.



Introducing Baby Jack - my friend Amy's new baby announcements with the photo on them that I took at the hospital.



All 7 Grandkids - the rare photo with all of Mum & Dad's grandkids together! And my Dad smiling!!!! ;)



If you want one of these scrummy kits, head over the store and grab one. There are only four left at this point, so be quick!

Long Point Sketch...

I forgot to share the layout from the sketch challenge at Long Point Retreat! Thanks to Lisa from Inspired Blueprints for providing this one for Belinda, was great to see all the different takes on the sketch.



I have used a He's Savvy Kit from a couple of months ago, was perfect for this page!

TFL!

Stuck Sketch 1st July

My take on the first Stuck Sketch for July is now up over on the blog. Here's the sketch, this month a hand-drawn sketch by my friend Crystal.


And my take using the latest We're Savvy Kit which is available here (but only three left so be quick!).


Make sure you join in the fun over at Stuck for your chance to win some awesome prizes from our monthly sponsors.

Finally sharing!!!

WOW, I'm one little blog neglecter at the moment, aren't I! I keep saying that things will get better when life slows down, but that doesn't look like happening anytime soon. Maybe I'll have to start getting organised instead, god forbid!!!

Have had a massive week...with Long Point Retreat last weekend at which both the Savvy & Delights stores did really well thanks to the support of all the girls. Thanks to San for helping me out and to all my friends for helping me unpack and repack the store. Also a BIG thanks to Belinda for actually organising the retreat and making it a fab weekend!

The scrapping count didn't do quite so well with only 7 layouts done, but I managed to get all my DT commitments finished for July which is a bonus! I'll share those soon, but first some older ones I haven't shown you yet...

Georgie Highpants - my crazy girl thinks she is VERY fashionable with her pants pulled up to her armpits!


And a closeup.


And a few layouts from the Pagemaps Book which you can purchase at Scrapbooking Delights, which I NEEDED at the last crop as I left my mojo at home...

Peace Man using an old He's Savvy Kit.


Brand New Swimmers using the 100 Days of Summer Kit from Simple Stories which you can get at Scrapbooking Delights.


15, of Miss Emma on her 15th Birthday using the OA 5 & Dime range.


And a card I made for my friend Amy on the arrival of Baby Jack, using an old We're Savvy Kit.


Thanks for visiting, its a happy relaxing Friday night here, on the lounge in front of the TV with a glass of wine. Hope your weekend has started out as great as mine. xx

Scrapping with my Besties

I'm very lucky to spend every second Tuesday with my two besties Linda & Leesh, taking turns at eachother's house and scrapping the (school hours) day away. Here's one I managed at Linda's a fortnight ago which I haven't shared yet, using the gorgeous Bella! Avalon range from Scrapbooking Delights.

Time For A Book...


And a closeup...


TFL!

Only a week left...

...of June and then we are officially halfway through 2011. How the hell did that happen?!

Being the second half of the month, our next sketch is now up at Stuck?! with lots of DT inspiration for you. I have actually completed two layouts for this sketch...I sent the first off to Sara, not really liking it but cutting close to deadline....then managed another one with last months He's Savvy Kit which I'm MUCH happier with!!

Here is the both of them, bet you like the second one the most as well. =)

Dads Wooden Spoons - me & my big brother Dave when I was a little girl xx


Happy Dragons - Coop & Clay at a Dragons game at WIN Stadium, quite obviously having an absolute blast.



And closeups, just cause I LOVED all the embellies in this Boy Kit!




Don't forget to upload your take over at the Stuck blog before the end of the month for your chance to win some great sponsor prizes.

One sleep till retreat here...I can't wait!
