Moving Day

hi everyone

we have been packing and packing and sourcing curtains, and packing some more - all ready for the BIG move on Friday!

we have found a new house in walmer heights, and are really looking forward to being settled in there shortly. this however does mean a disruption to the scrapbooking (and quite frankly anything that doesn't require a tv at this stage, else its probably in a box) and i have therefore not been able to scrap this week. but i will without delay get going next week again. i see there is a great new sketch up over at pencil lines sketches  and i will have my attempt up hopefully next week (assuming the move goes well.....)

here is sketch 256

here are some pics our agent, jaco rademeyer, took of the house. (this blog is more for memory sake for me, so bear with me here!) pics of the new house will be up as soon as the boxes are sorted out.

have a wonderful day, and i'll check in again after the BIG move on Friday!

happy scrappin'

Graphic 45 kit

School Fun Kit, with the  new Graphic 45 ABC Primer range.

This double layout kit includes everything that you need to complete the project. All you need are 6 portrait jumbo phots, sander and chalks for edging.

If you haven't used Graphic 45 before and are tempted not to use your everyday pics for this gorgeous paper, I hope that this layout can show you that all photos work and even the colourful ones can be used with this range.

You can get your kits from Jenny at i-scrap, Cape Road, Port Elizabeth or email me on zoe@scrappers.co.za

Off the Page for Morgan's Room

hi everyone,

hope you had a lovely weekend. i managed to relax, scrap and get some packing done. we realised that this is our last weekend to pack, as next weekend Janice and Daine (sister and hubby) arrive from UK and then we move the following friday - so it was a bit of panic station! but we have a plan and are managing to pack up rather quickly.

So last week i finally managed to get to this project that i've had for well over a year. I went to a Beswick Retailers day and this was one of the projects we did - but i didn't actually do much of it. So it was like having a blank canvas to work from (gorgeous!!)

We had a blank wooden block with the keyholder screws. I played around with the cutoffs i had in my stash and decided on Prima.



Photo was taken May 2010 when Morgan was 10 months old



Some close ups:

The LOVE Bling is Making Memories

All the paper die-cuts (10, birds, keys, paper cuts, butterflys, stickers etc)are from Girls Paperie (from the stash we received at convention). The swirl is obviously Prima.

Since it is for Morgan's room (and she is only 2 years old) i thought the bright, multi-colours worked best. The elements all came together nicely and I'm quite pleased with the outcome. Now just to keep little hands off it so it stays in one piece!

Hope you managed to get some creative juices flowing this weekend.

Have a good week everyone

Happy Scrappin'

Pencil line Sketch entry

Hello fellow scrappers!

hope you are having a nice weekend. I completed the Pencil line sketch as per my last post, and here is my effort:



Live laugh love - single layout



I used a bazzil cardstock for the background, and Kaisercraft Be Mine Dotty (P196) for the patterned paper. The front side, with the dots was used on the left, and the other half of the sheet was used for the scallop. I traced the shape from another Kaisercraft die cut paper.

The flowers are PETALOO Chantilly Collection, Velvet Hydrangeas - Roase (1272-161).

The title is from Making Memories, as well as the 'M' Charm. The embellishment next to the title is from Prima.

The clock and butterfly transparencies are Heidi Swapp. I stamped on the butterfly and on the top left corner of the paper with the new Kaisercraft 13th hour stamp. I used Versamagic and brilliance ink and chalk on my layout.

I hope you like my take on the layout. If you also gave it a go, please post a link to your website.

Happy Scrappin'
