Count Catula

Our cat Bisquits was not impressed with the Dracula cape we got him last Halloween!
He was so cute wearing it though!
When I seen the"pawsitively sweet" challenge on Lasting memories, I remembered these photos. I love this months sketch on Lasting memories so I used that too. I'm also linking this page up to the "H" challenge on Scrapbookers Anonymous because it's a Halloween page.

PP -  Karen Foster, stickers - Doodlebug, Title letters - Papermania, EF- Cuttlebug

Drum Clinic

This is of a drum clinic we went to last year and hubby got to meet Gavin Harrison and Graham Hopkins.

Super garden

This is of the winning garden, from the "Super garden" show at Bloom 2011. The boys got their photo taken with Ken, the designer of this lovely garden.

And this one is of some of the gardens at Bloom.  The show is on again this May, I really hope we get to go.
I used some of the pretty papers that I won on Alicia's blog a few months back. As soon as I seen the papers I knew they would be perfect for some of my Bloom pages (there's still more photos to be scrapped!). Thanks Alicia!!!! If you have the time, stop by her blog, her work is amazing!

A sketch

Good morning!

I did this page using the sketch from Januarys challenge on Love, Joy, Paper. One of my personal challenges this year is to scrapbook more, so I ordered 99 photos from Snapfish (99 photos for 99c!), so that should keep me going for a while!

The awesome journaling card was a freebie here.

August sketch blog hop

When I seen Amanda's sketch on the August blog hop I had to use it! I love the layers and different elements :)

When I visited Adele's blog she had a digi template of the sketch. It's been ages since I did a digi layout so I said "why not?"

So here it is

I used photos from this years Bloom garden show. All paper and embellishments are from a free digi kit called Happy Go Lucky from Shabby Princess.

Love to read.....

I hope you are all having a great weekend. This is just a quick post because I'm off to my nieces 5th birthday party very soon.
I made this page this morning using sketch 23 from Sketchabilities and some of my newly aquired goodies. My friend Adele moved back to the U.S from England this week and sold off some of her craft supplies to me including her Cricut, some cartridges for it, some DCWV stacks and some other goodies. I am loving the Cricut! I cut the leaves, journaling label and "love" and "to" with it and I made a birthday card for me niece with it too :) The pp on the layout is from the garden party stack, the photo corner is also DCWV . The "read" title is from Portfolia and I finished the page off with some flowers and buttons.

and here is the card I made

For this I used MME pp and the doodlecharms, opposites attract and home accents cart.

Sketchy Thursday , Frosted designs & TPE

I'm so happy it's the weekend, it has been one long week! Today definately started off on a better note, because on the Club CK forum I won some Basic Grey paper! Woohoo! And I have a jug of Sangria chilling in the fridge to enjoy tonight :)
I made this layout today using this weeks Sketchy Thursday sketch and I was inspired by the challenge on Frosted designs of "celebrate life".  I used some MME (bloom and grow) pp and covered some bare chipboard letters with some of the paper to make them match and added a few stars and buttons. I'm also submitting it for The Pink Elephants recipe challenge of buttons, punched borders & patterned paper.

Thanks for stopping by and enjoy the rest of your weekend :)

Spotlight

I had one of my layouts spotlighted on Club CK this week!! Here is the one chosen :)

Thanks for stopping by :)

Need direction?

Frosted designs challenge this week is to use an arrow on your layout or project. I made this page using Coredinations cs and some BasicGrey pp. I didn't have an arrow that would work with my colour scheme so I traced around an arrow I had and cut it out of cs, inked the edges and ran it through my Cuttlebug using the small bubbles embossing folder. I did the same with a photo corner and finished it off with some Papermania letter stickers.
