BUSY USING MY EVER GROWING STASH.....

Before I share some layouts with you I have to share this very special drawing that Will drew for Steve and I for our anniversary on the 17th. He is so gorgeous. He drew this whilehe was at my mum's house and it is a picture of Steve and I getting married.....


Now my other exciting news.....! I was really excited last week when I was INVITED by SM magazine to participate in a products showcase feature!!! How cool.They will send me a pack of goodies and then feature it in one of the issues!!! Yah me!

I have been busy the last week scrappin' using all of my old stash. I am participating on the SCRAPBOXX website in a USE YOUR STASH CHALLENGE. I had to nominate how many layouts I would produce and then everyone participating set little mini challenges. GREAT FUN and great way to use some of my ever growing stash!!! I have done 11 layouts !!

I'll post some today and some tomorrow as Im sure you are bored all ready!!!

This challenge was to use a black background......



This one was to use at least four patterned papers.....
The next one was to use a background with green in it....
This one was to use something that has been in your stash at least 12 mths....



This one was my challenge to use something with red and white spots.....( surprising??)

And this one was to do a vintage style layout....

SNEAKY PEEKY.....

Here is a little sneak peek of the layouts I just completed with thisMonth's SCRAPAPPLE kit.

This month we were asked to complete as many things as we could with our kit as from now you can actually buy the kits that we receive with full instructions to our projects....cool hey!!?
As you know I was worried about using my kit because I HATE the color purple.....but I did it and I came up with 3 12x12 layouts and 4 cards.Yay me!!!!

Here is a little peek at my layouts....





I have made four cards also but you'll have to have a look at SCRAPAPPLE if you want a look at those.

I have been joining in a few online challenges lately and it is a lot of fun! I love a challenge.

This first one is for a SKETCH challenge on Anna's Craft Cupboard.


This one is also a sketch challenge on a websit called Mystical Scrapbooks.I discovered this website through a blog called STUCK! STUCK! is a blog that has different sketches every week with lots of competitions and challenges.Check it out....

NEW FOR MAYA'S ROOM.....

When Maya was a little baby I created a series of three layouts for her wall inher room and framed them. I also did the same for Will.
This is them....


So I thought it was about time that I updated them.So the last two days I created and framed these ones.......

LOVE..................




LAUGH..............

I am really happy with the way these turned out.I have had the paper sitting there for so long to do them. Now I need to update her door sign and a few other bits n pieces. I also want to update Will's but haven't found a paper range to do so yet.
