Sorry for not posting in the last few days – its been busy here and so much has happened in the last week I am still trying to catch up!
A couple of lovely customers asked if I would do them a Scrapbook Workshop to which I just about fell off my chair but did agree to do one. They then said they wanted a layout for a 10 year old boy! Well I nearly fell off my chair – as you know I dont much Scrapbooking at all but I dont have boys so this was a little harder than normal for me.
I had a look through the 2010-2011 Idea Book & Catalogue and decided to go with the Celebrations DSP – it has lovely bright colours and lovely patterns. So once I’d decided on what paper I was using then I knew the colour combination I was using – Bashful Blue, Real Red, Old Olive and Pacific Point. Now I’m not really a ‘brights’ girl but these colours look so good together!
Dont you just love how Stampin’ Up! give all the colour swatches for each set of Designer Series Paper packs? makes our lives so much easier!
Now that I had the colours and papers worked out I had to think of a design – this is where sketches are so very handy! I love to use sketches for cards and sketches make layouts come together so quickly rather than deliberating on what shape and what size and where! I love sketches by Valerie Salmon who owns the Got Sketch Blog so I went with one of her sketches. Not only does Valerie do the sketch but she shows samples using that sketch too.
This is the sketch I chose ….
Here is the layout I came up with …..
I do hope you like what I’ve done as the ladies on Tuesday did and this made my heart smile.
Now if you’d like to book in a Scrapbooking Workshop then please dont hesitate to ring or email me to book in your date. I will even let you pick the theme!
Just a little reminder ……
Dont forget about the “We Stamp for Lara” online extravaganza!
During all of November you will recieve tutorials for 30 different projects for just $25 and all proceeds go to the purchase of special equipment for Little Miss Lara May Dunn. Lara has Cerebral Palsy as well as a few other conditions and would greatly benefit from a special chair to help her get around and be more involved not only with her family but also with others.
Join today and have the opportunity to win prizes – one of which is a brand new Big Shot Machine!
As a special thank you from me – if you join and leave a comment here then you will go in the running to win a lovely Flower Fusion kit full of gorgeous felt flowers in pink, blue and brown! This is valued at $29.95 and is no longer available to purchase so you’ll be winning a collectors item!

This is just from me so you’ll have to reply back here – I’ll announce the winner on Tuesday. You can join by clicking on the paypal button in my sidebar to the right.
Looking forward to sharing some fun creating times with you and helping Lara as well.
