Lollipops!

"Lollipops" by Penny Hackney, inspired by Elsie Flannigan's Challenge No. 51

Here's a cool can-do technique! Gather up a heap of paper and cardstock offcuts in some fun bright colours. Throw in a couple of fabric or felt pieces too. Draw some freehand circles with your black pen. Cut out and arrange all over a cardstock background. Add a couple of small embies like buttons or charms to the centre of some of the circles. Slap on a photo. Ta-da! Thanks for popping in. See you next time! x

A Groovy Technique....

Can't find the perfect stamp for your project? Hang on - you may have just the thing lurking in your stash already! Felt, foam, chipboard........either bought or hand cut, make great stamps!

For my "Queen of My Tub" layout I used a Fancy Pants chipboard flourish to stamp out a border, and a variety of Bella, Making Memories and Everlasting Keepsakes chipboard letters for the title.

I've posted the easy peasy steps for stamping with chipboard on Aussie Scrapbooking....have a go! I'd love to see what you come up with!

Workshop Creations

One of my blog readers has very sweetly reminded me that I hadn't put up the class layouts from my last Gum Flat Workshop - so here you are Linda, and everyone else who was waiting for them! Thankyou Lee who lent me her cute new PINK camera to take these, and sorry I didn't get to snap everyone. I never tire of the great variety of finished pages a class can create with the same products and the same instructions. We had everything from babies to pussy cats to wedding cakes.......and they were all fabulous!

August Class-in-Box is here!

My Class-in-a-Box contains all the materials needed to re-create this double page layout, as well as full step by step instructions, and title of your choice.

All the planning and co-ordinating is done for you - just add photos!

Cost is $15 plus $5 postage (Australia). I can ship overseas, and will charge the rate Australia Post charges me.

To order, email me at the address shown in the side bar, or leave a comment on this post.

Happy scrappin'!

I've Been Scrapjacked!

Yes! I've been SCRAPJACKED! Sounds like the name of a punishable crime, but no, it's rather an honour! Hehehe.........

Definition: "Scrapjack" = combination of "hijack" and "scraplift".

Diane, one of the scrappers who took on the challenge, kindly sent her layout to me. I think it's fabulous, and just had to share it here!

Kit LO Revealed

This is the June kit layout "Water Nymph" I designed for Scrap A While and now that all the kits are sold out I can finally show it to you...
Using Basic Grey Two Scoops paper and alpha stickers, Green Tara flowers, Bella chipboard and Kaisercraft bling - I came up with a fairly classic style, adding a bit of "me" with the freehand cardstock mat and some handwriting.

And here's what one customer did with the kit................just lovely Angie!!!

Hope you're having a good day - and keeping warm!!!

Silly Pics!

How crazy is my little Mia in these photos!?! She's clowning around with the wonderful egg-carton and pipe-cleaner glasses we made together one lazy afternoon. The layout was for Challenge #27 from Elsie Flannigan's "52 Scrapbooking Challenges". The challenge was to "scrap those silly photos". Have a go! You know you want to! I used: Love Elsie 'Roxy" paper, Pressed Petals Hip Chip letters to trace around, black pen, white gel pen and some dobs of paint. Catch you soon and thanks for coming. xxx
