More Basic Grey

I don't think I've ever used collection packs this much!
I'm totally in love with the lemonade right now!!
And some of the papers really mix well between the lemonade and June Bug lines! ;)



This one is June Bug. The little girls face is blacked out as we've since moved and haven't kept in touch, so for privacy, I've kept her anonomous!


This is a favourite of mine! My mom and DD at the beach. This one is a hybrid, with both lemonade and june bug!


More lemonade!!

Cards and an album cover.

So I kinda hosted a very small FNC at Scrapfan this weekend, and it was great fun, even if there were only a few of us able to play. lol

Here's what I got done!







Also, I saw on The Paper Passion Blog that Rosa had made some album covers for the AC D-ring albums. I have purchased a few from her, but they're not standing up in their raw chipboard form to the kids who like to look through their albums very well. Charlie's is coloured, has a spill mark on it...not pretty. lol
I decided to give it a shot, and this is what Sarah's album now looks like!


I printed a pic of her in B&W on some muslin cotton, and ironed it to heat set the image. Then just made an all fabric layout.
I hope to do one for Charlie's album soon too....but I don't want to use pink...i have to get some boyish fabric for his. lol
Thanks for stopping by!

New Basic Grey

I'm loving the new BG Lines out right now. I'm not usually one to buy full collection packs, but I caved and got both June Bug and Lemonade from Scrapfan .
I'm so glad I did!
Here are 3 with June Bug



the second one was picked up by the BG gallery!
And now my lonely only Lemonade layout so far.

Thanks for looking, and if you're considering these collections, I highly recomend them!

Didn't survive lol

Well, I made it through to week 5 over at 2scrapbook friends but didn't make it into week 6.
This was my week 5 layout, again based on a sketch by Karan Gerber

Also this weekend is a big crop over at The Paper Passion and they are extending the deadline for entries until I believe next Sunday. So hop on over for some fabulous inspiration!

I can share with you a few things I have done for the crop so far!

Survivor

I'm in a survivor contest over at Two Scrapbook Friends and since the kids are behaving themselves..at least temporarily, I thought I'd post my layouts from the contest to date. The amazing 'sketcher' behind all of these layouts is Karan Gerber Check out her blog...she's very very talented!

So, here are my week's 1-4 layouts, here's hoping that I make it through to week 5! :)
Week 1


Week 2


Week 3



Week 4

Not so New Card Crew...

I'm such a BAD Blogger!! This month has been nuts with kids finishing school, and all that entails, (Teachers gifts etc.) and a trip to the cottage, so I've not been blogging.

BUT, I have exciting news...
Scrapshotz has asked me to be part of their card crew!! I will be posting one challenge a month for June (already done), July, and August! I love the card crew challenges that were posted by the last card crew, and this time around they're all rockin' as well!
Head on over and check them out here!
I still have to get to the one for this week, using fabric on your cards! LOVE IT!
While you're there, hop on over to the DT challenges, they're always loads of fun too. Sadly, I haven't got much done this month, with the way things have gone.

I'll leave you with a few pics of my little piece of Heaven. We spent the week last week at the cottage, and it was wonderful...except for the nights with Sarah. Ugh.
