August BIG Savvy Sketch Challenge

Only a day late....go me!!

This month I've used the sketch as one of my class pages.  I have local girls here every second Friday night for a class, in which they receive a kit and full step by step instructions for four layouts, which most of the girls actually get done on the night.  This week's class is a boy theme and I've had heaps of fun putting the class pages together.

Here's my layout of my boy Cooper and my bestie's little boy Oliver :)

And some closeups of those little details...

Loving FLAT alpha stickers at the moment!

Some little triangle arrows hand cut from scraps of patterned paper and doodled around the edges for effect...

And the good ol' rubon!  Don't use these babies enough, I have soooo many sitting in my stash!

Upload your take to the Scrapbook Savvy Gallery before midnight 31 August for your chance to win the super prize of $40 spending money plus FREE POST Australia wide.

Happy Scrapping!

Scrapbook Savvy 123 July Cybercrop Challenge

Welcome to our July Cybercrop!  We hope you find some time over the next week to get some layouts done for your collection, ensuring that your family’s memories are here forever!

My challenge this time is based on one of my class layouts, which I’m actually teaching tonight!  I hold classes in my home every fortnight, the girls walking away with four layouts done in just a few hours.  This is also making me scrap four layouts a fortnight, which is so fab as I’m finally getting through some of my older photos….like this one, taken in 2010!

My challenge is a 123 Challenge and you need to include the following criteria on your layout….

ONE tag
TWO flowers
THREE Circles

You also need to include a PATTERNED PAPER BACKGROUND and some WASHI TAPE somewhere on your layout.

Here is my layout, titled Scoops Icecreamery...

 

A closeup of my title, which I’ve curved around one of my circles.  Titles don’t always have to be straight!  You can see two of my ‘circles’ needed in the criteria…the other is the button in the cluster with the flowers.

A closeup of my washi tape, you will find lots more washi tape here in the store.

A close up of my ‘two flowers’ from the criteria as well as my tag.  You can create your own tag just cutting the tag shape out freehand, and punching a hole in the end

Your layout must be created ONLY for this challenge.

Please upload your layout by midnight Thursday 1^st August 2013 to the Scrapbook Savvy Gallery.

Make sure you head over and check all the other challenges from the DT girls on the Scrapbook Savvy Blog.

Happy Scrapping!

Cheers,
Sar

First challenge off the rank is mine...as I have the class girls here tonight as well, so getting everything done first! A different challenge for you tonight, not one I've done before....but taken from a layout I managed using a Midway Kit from the store, while I was off retreating last weekend.

My challenge is a SONG TITLE CHALLENGE and the MAIN criteria is for your layout title to be that of a SONG. Pick a song, any song, as long as I can Google it and find it IS an actual song!

I also want you to use the following criteria on your layout...

- a misted background
- glitter or glitter glue, even if only a little bit!
- at least one handmade embellishment

Here is my layout using all of the above, called 'I WANT CANDY'...

My journaling...

My WOW chipboard title which I've covered with Liquid Pearls painted on, and then Zazz Glitter Glue to give it some sparkle.

And one of the awesome chevies from Rainbow Splendour as my 'handmade embellishment' portion.

To be in the running for some Savvy spending money, upload your take using the challenge criteria to the Savvy Gallery before midnight next Thursday 4th July.

Happy Scrapping!

Scrappy Weekend with Sara

I was lucky enough to have a visitor staying with me last weekend from QLD, my friend and fellow Savvy scrapper & kit designer Sara.

We had a great time, from Krispy Kremes to Savvy Class to Delights Crop to Evermore to cruisy couch time...we were just catching up and laughing a lot, and generally spending some time in real life instead of the facebook chat that usually sees us communicating each day.  The time flew and I was dropping her back to the airport before I knew it...but all going well she'll be back in just a couple of weeks to join me with the Scrapbook Savvy Store at Long Point Retreat.

So first up, we had a class here at Scrapbook Savvy on the Friday night.  My classes are now being held fortnightly and just about booking out before I get a chance to advertise them!  I'm loving sharing tips and techniques with my local girls, and they are loving getting FOUR pages guaranteed from just a few hours scrapping with me....along with the best coffee around, of course ;)

My class this time was Easter theme, and the class layouts looked like this...the first one was actually the May Cybercrop Sketch, a great way to start me on a roll when I'm working out class layouts!

 

All the girls had a great night and got their layouts completed, I LOVE making them get messy with inks and paints and templates, so fun!

On the Saturday Sara & I spent the day at my local scrapbook shop Scrapbooking Delights with San, it went so fast and I only managed two layouts on the day...but better than nothing!

The first is my layout for my upcoming June BIG Savvy Sketch reveal coming up on the 15th, here's a peek...

The next one was a 'just because' layout which I don't seem to do enough of!  This was pure fun and I love the layered washi background behind my photo...

A closeup of the gorgeous Prima flower I picked up from Delights with a cluster of flair, buttons & some Flourish With A Bling over some ribbon.

And the other cluster with some more flowers, journal spot and a gorgeous flair button from A Lil Somethin.

We went to see Evermore on the Saturday night, which was a great show although never long enough really!

This would've had to be my most favourite song of the night...

 

 

I also managed a few SMASH pages during our lazy Sunday, but you can check them out over on the Savvy blog here.

I am so grateful for the friends I've made online due to this scrappy life I've chosen for myself, people I never would have known or met in my 'real life'. 

Until next time Miss Sara, I hope I got you inspired to get scrapping again and that you enjoyed your stay with me....I know I did xxx

See me SMASHed....

...not in the way you're thinking though!

I have started SMASHing my sister-in-law Karen's wedding, and have just posted all my pages so far on the Scrapbook Savvy Blog.

Head over and check it out, would love to know what you think!

Thanks for visiting, back soon with some more scrappy happiness :D
