Scrapbooking Global October Blog Hop

Blog Hops, Challenges, Scrapbooking12 Comments

This month it is my theme of Seeing Double!

I actually struggle to do double layouts so this is a challenge for me especially but also because I am often asked to teach double layouts.

So, this blog hop is to give us all some inspiration along the way! Cant wait to see what everyone comes up with!

So here is what Ive come up with.

This Layout is all ready for me to put my photos in as the event hasnt happened yet (will happen this Saturday) when my Mum, Sister and Daughter drive 3 1/2 hours to affix a plaque to my Aunties grave who died as child. The grave was unmarked and we werent sure where she was until earlier this year.

I have used a Designer Series Paper that will be for sale next month and is called Christmastime is here Specialty DSP.

This left hand side is actually a challenge sketch LO that I have put up on Scrapbooking Global for the month of October. I just added another page to it to create my double LO.

I have also used Shimmer Detailed Laser cut Paper (AC pg 169), Simmery White Emboossing Paste (AC pg 181), Ornate Frame dies (HC pg 53), Basic Pattern decorative masks (HC pg 35) and the beautiful ribbon is Real Red Ruched ribbon (HC pg 7) The title dies are Hand Lettered Prose (AC pg 193) and Word Wishes (AC pg 197)

Now off we go on our blog hop. Even though I have done a double LO, I have left it open to interpretation as the theme of Seeing Double.

We also have a blog hop project happening today and here is mine ..a Scrapbooking Layout of our daughter at 4 years old.

This Stamp set (Born to Shine pg 143 149244) was a must have for me as our Daughter has just completed an Honours Dance degree and teaching Diploma and next year will be a High School Dance and Drama teacher!

p.s..She is probably not happy that Ive shared this photo of her as its not particularly flattering of her but I just love the real Jennifer in this photo! Such a cutie!

I have used the new Basic Pattern Decorative Masks (150697 Holiday Catalogue pg 35) with some Shimmery White Embossing Paste as well for my background.

My favourite new dies are also in the Holiday Catalogue pg 53.. Ornate Frames Dies (150664).

Come Sail Away

General cardsWrite a comment

I belong to a craft group that donates cards to the NZ armed forces positioned overseas every year ..I thought heck we havent got some cards for our Navy guys and girls so made these on a rare day off that Ive had.

I made 14 of these using the Come Sail Away Memories and More card pack (149552 pg 171) and I used the Magnolia Lane Memories and More cards and envelopes (149487 pg 171).

These came together very quickly! I didn’t stamp any. The Lasercut cards in this pack are incredible and just give the wow factor.

Today on my one day off from day job, I attended my Papamoa Craft group and did 30 quick Christmas cards using a retired Memories and More set…once again for the NZ troops overseas. I love this group and all that they do. We have a varied membership and knit, sew., quilt, scrapbook, make cards, embroider and generally have a great time chatting. Contact me if you live nearby and want to attend.

Happy Stamping!

August Scrapbooking Global Blog Hop

This month our guest designer is Elizabeth Rush and her theme is Back to School.

This was a perfect for a photo I found of when I went back to school! Yep I went and did a Diploma in Agribusiness when the kids were little. It took me 2.5 years to complete part time and from a class of 20, only 3 finished it. I was hard slog for my brain!! Hehe but I did it!

A couple of years after that I did more study for my Phlebotomy job ..and I knew I could do it because I had completed this diploma.

Ive kept this pretty simple and used some new products coming out in the 2019 Holiday Catalogue (DSP, wood element, rhinestones and die)

The stamps used were: I say Hello (AC pg 110 149284) and Tasteful Textures (AC pg 135 149234)

So off we go on our blog hop. The next blog on this blog hop is Julia Quinn

Scrapbooking Global July Hop

Blog Hops, Scrapbooking19 Comments

This month our Guest Designer is Lotte and she has come up with the Travel theme for this months blog hop.

You may have just come from Lisa’s blog on the hop or starting here. Whichever way, you are in for an amazing scrapbooking hop.

Here is my Layout using Garden Lane DSP, Crumb Cake and Whisper White Cardstock as my base.

The dies I’ve used are my new Faves…Sweet Silhouettes.

I’ve stamped with Good Magnolia Stamp set in some of the corners

My travel Layout is of an East Coast trip of New Zealand that my Husband and I did early this year. I hadn’t been around this way (Opotiki around to Gisborne) since I was a child and the scenery was just stunning.

My favourite place was Tolaga Bay but all of the bays were amazing and I can totally recommend this trip!

You can do this trip in one day but we took a few days and enjoyed relaxing over a glorious meal and glass of wine or beer each night in our accommodation.

If you do plan a trip around the East Coast of New Zealand, let me know and I will let you know all of our favourite places and accomodation!

Righto…Off we go off to our next blog on the hop…the lovely Julia Quinn.
