Some more creations for Bev's Cross Craft.

Well first of all I have to say how lucky I feel, being able to design for Bev at Bev's cross craft. I have been shopping there for the past ummmm 6 years or more and love all the girls there. Bev has spoilt me lately with some gorgeous papers and embellies to play with. I just need to find more time to create, really is a bugger that my real jobs gets in the way lol.

Well the first couple of shares I have been playing with Simple Stories Collection- 24/Seven. I so love this range and the colours are amazing. I have also just discovered Inka gold, WOW I love it!!! You can alter chipboard and wood so each and it covers everything, So with Inka Gold in you stash you can have chipboard alpha to match any page, just by altering with your Inka gold- Check it out!!

Well here they are.....
 
 

And the next two I have created using Echo Park- Scoot collection. I love the primary colours in this range, they are soooo gorgeous and perfect for the little fellas is your life. I must say I really enjoyed making these ones, keeping them simple. I love for people to go into Bev's store and see what I have created and think 'I can do that'. I would love nothing more than to inspire others to get started in this awesome craft. With all the yummy papers and lots of pretty things to play with. But more importantly documenting those moments for future generation to see. This is why I do it, you can look back on some of your old pages and cringe, BUT the story is still there. Already My Children and nieces love to look at My scrapbooks and say is that me?, Who's that?



 
Well all these pages feature heavily my young fella, So maybe some girly pages are due, It's really had with these great ranges though, Maybe some girly pages with these papers, hmmmmmm we will see what happens.

Thanks for stopping by, And if you happen to live local or are visiting Tassie and around the North- West coast. Do your self a favour and drop into the new bigger, better and truly fantastic store at Bev's Cross Craft- 72-74 Mersey Main Road, Spreyton.

Thanks for coming to visit, I'll be back soon, I have a scrap date with a Sister next weekend so guaranteed some scrappy goodness coming soon.

Scrap the Girls- May Challenge

Hi Ladies,
Who's ready for a new challenge at Scrap the Girls?!!! This month we have a gorgeous saying to be used on a page about a special Girl in your life.  I absolutely loved this saying and it went great with My Daughter at the moment, she is going through the trying times of being a teenager with her skin. As a Mother you can only hope that your girl will have beautiful clear skin,but more common than not it's not that way. We have found a great place with great staff in Facebar, a local store and already the results are amazing.

Anyway drifting away...... I wanted to do this page of My daughter and how fitting is the saying.....
A smile is the best makeup a girl can wear
This is not a great picture, But I really loved how it all came together. This page is now sitting in my local Scrapbooking store. Give it ago I am sure you have the perfect photo to go with this gorgeous saying. Entries to be linked up to Scrap the Girls by the 5th June. Lets see if we can make it to 30 entries this month.
Happy scrapping and looking forward to visiting you to see what master pieces you have put together....
Have a great day and thanks for stopping by.

I'm Back...... Been MIA

Hi to anyone that comes to visit :)

Well I have been missing in action since the beginning of the year, OMG where has the year gone!! Well I have been creating!! I am still creating for my even closer local scrapbooking store Bev's Cross Craft. The store has move to a gorgeous bigger building, even closer to me in Spreyton. I had the pleasure of helping out the girls with setting up the new place. And OMG let me tell you it is awesome!!! If you are, or come to Tassie make sure that you make the time have a look!!

Here is a few LO that you will find scattered around the store, I have been playing with some recent Kaisercraft releases. Get Ready for some image overload.......
 Lots of pages of my gorgeous Nieces xxx

 How cute is my little goat wrangler!!! How funny are kids to watch we they find a little bit of courage. She really did find her bravery when it came to making sure that she was OK.
 This one above is my first try at a Kim Price inspired back after her tutorial, Not too bad for a first try.....
 
 
And last pic is an OTP that I created to put in the new store as well, I couldn't tell you how long it has been since I created anything but a 12x12 page. Loved it and keen to have a go at a couple more.
 
Sorry that it has been so long promise to be back very soon.
 
I'll be back before you know it with the Scrap the Girls challenge for this month, It's a really good one to get those special girls in your love captured forever!!!
