An Easter Layout.....................

from 2009 ~ better late than never!! The Inspiration challenge over at Scrap Pile was set by Karen in April and required a layout inspired by the following picture:

and my layout:

Been a bit crook this week, so very little accomplished. Hoping for a big scrapping day tomorrow.

A New Tutorial.................

is available for viewing over at the Love Scrappin blog. The tutorial outlines paper rolling as a method of distressing on layouts. And the final layout:

This is an easy technique with big results, so head on over and give it a go!!

Cheers......................Leanne

Lest We Forget....................

"They shall not grow old, as we that are left grow old:

Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.

At the going down of the sun, and in the morning

We will remember them.

Lest we forget."

Mojo Come Home....................pleeeeease.................

I have been in a scrapping slump of late. Just no motivation at all. I'm fairly certain it is associated with the restlessness I have felt since deciding to sell my home. I have no regrets regarding the decision, but now that the decision is made I am impatient and just want it to happen, but alas still waiting on some paperwork from the local Council - what a surprise!!
I have completed my DT projects for Scrap Pile. I had the pleasure of playing with the nnew Scribble Scrabble range. These are lovely papers with mildy grungy designsand great country colourways. And the projects:

We will be playing one product, three ways in our next DT packs, so looking forward to that challenge. Well that's all for now

Happy Mail............................

in the form of a gorgeous trinket from Etsy. This gorgeous package arrived in my letterbox through the week:

and it contained this delightful piece:

from the Gradum Gypsies Etsy shop. Kim Archer showed a piece she had found at their site, and when I went looking I couldn't resist this piece. Pure loveliness!!

I have been scrapping this afternoon, which is almost a miracle. Will upload the results of my efforts either tonight or tomorrow.

Cheers..............................Leanne

Something new..........................

i stumbled across this new challenge blog today The Color Room. Lots of well known local and international scrappers involved in this venture. The challenge is weekly and involves an ispiration picture, 4 colours from the image and a sketch. This is the first challenge:

Looks like lots of fun. Might be just what I need given my current scrapping rut ~ the mojo is definitely awol, and what is more annoying is that I am on holidays.

Cheers.........................Leanne

April Sketch........................

Challenge at Scrap Pile is up and running. The sketch is a multi photo sketch with no further criteria, so nice and easy:

 and my interpretation:

So head on over and join in the fun. Entries need to be in the April Sketch gallery by midnight, 30th April 2010. Hope to see you there.............................
