Here's what they look like, if you haven't already seen them.

July 1st Sketch...

And my layout of Georgie walking into school on her very first day, so confident and excited to be going! I have used the new Crate Paper Pretty Party range for this one.

And a closeup of my journalling, together with a super cute floral button from Purple Pumpkin.

Next up is the July 15th Sketch..

And my layout of a massive blue tongue lizard that lived in our garden! The kids LOVED it when he was out...although we never got too close so as not to scare him :)

And a closeup of my lettering and string...

July Savvy Cybercrop Layouts

We have been cybercropping over in the Scrapbook Savvy forum since last Friday, and so far I have managed to complete the sketch challenge as well as Sara's blind scrap on Saturday night.

There is still time for you to get involved, our challenge deadline is midnight Thursday 26 July so still a day a half to go...plenty of scrapping time!!! I aim to get another challenge done tonight...

Here's the sketch from Sara...

And my take, a layout of my Bronte girl on Easter morning last year using some FREE paper from UK Scrapbook Magazine, can you believe it! Too nice to be free, but who am I to complain!

I have added some Purple Pumpkin to my page, including the gorgeous little girl button and the pink & yellow twine.

Next up is my layout based on Sara's blind scrap instructions on Saturday night. BE WARNED THOUGH...I totally frigged up my lefts and rights and my page kind of ended up totally different to Sara's! But that is the joy of blind scrapping, we all end up with something different...and at the end of the day another layout is done, right?!

My layout is called SM Forum and is a photo of myself with some old friends that I originally met on the Scrapbooking Memories Forum years & years ago. These girls are responsible for my scrapbooking addiction and I am still in awe of them! It was so great for us all to spend some time together at the Camp Mojo retreat last year, we had a blast! Loz dropped in to visit us so we made sure we got a photo, although we were missing Lucy who was sick in bed :(

Don't forget, you can STILL play along so head over now and check out these challenges as well as three more from the rest of the Savvy DT!

See you in the forum!

June Sketch @ SFS

If you're looking for a great sketch to get you scrapping, head over to the SFS forum and do the June Sketch by Deb. I loved this one!

My take looks like this...a page of me & my Savvy DT girls at our retreat back in 2010.

And a closeup of my journalling and cluster...

I have used the Crate Paper Pretty Party range for this one, so many layouts scrapped with this range and still not a bit sick of it!

Thanks Deb & Peta for the inspiration.

1st June Stuck Sketch

This has to be one of my fave sketches, I just LOVE the big heart sitting behind the photo!

This sketch suited these photos & layout so well. I have used the Heidi Swapp Sugar Chic range which I got from my LSS Scrapbooking Delights, and a sweet set of photos of my baby girl with her Pillow Pet which was the ONLY thing the girls asked for at Christmas last year, too funny! And of course we bought them a million other things as well... ;p

I have gone 'Eb style' on this layout, using texture paste with a template and ink over the top, super messy but loving the effect it gives!

A close up of my little cluster, using some Lil' Somethin' embellishments along with a tiny bow & flower from the cheap shop, love finding random things there!
