Hello there Summer days

Greetings!

Back to reality with a bump this morning... can't I just have a few more days of school holidays? We're on the downhill stretch though! A few more weeks and it's "schooool's out for summer!"

Speaking of summer, I have a little layout up on the Greatest View blog today, using the fabulous new 'Perfect Day' badges and mini bags. For more info and close ups, you can click here

Thank you so much for popping in!

November challenge for Once Upon a Sketch

** Thank you to all who played along in the Sassy Scrappers blog hop!
The winners are going to be announced on Sunday, so please stay tuned! **

A wonderful hello from a gusty Brizzy! It seems we are going to get a bit of a reprieve from the heat tomorrow, not that the weather hasn't been fun for school holiday activities!

I'm just popping in to share my layout for the November challenge at Once Upon a Sketch. Another gorgeous sketch from Nadia...

Journalling Theme: "The Journey..."

You are free to interpret our theme ANY WAY you like. It is for your inspiration and this theme word DOES NOT need to be part of your title or journalling. But please make sure your layout is based on the sketch below and includes journalling (hidden journalling is fine). Acceptable journalling is MORE than just a sentence, or generic writing such as date/place etc. It needs to be present and at least 3 lines long. Remember, hidden journalling (under a photo/tag or behind your page) is perfectly fine but please DO let us know in your post where your journalling is!

Goodness knows, Rob and I have seen a few things in our time together. Eighteen years on, we look back on the memories made and forward to a future that has so much yet to be explored!


Just loving this Glitz Finnley range! It's available in the Sassy Scrappers store now


I've hidden my journalling under this sticker, which I've backed with card stock for strength.


I've cut this delicate rose on my Silhouette for some romance and to echo the whimsical typefaces used in the stickers.


These incredibly versatile Greatest View Arrow flair have to be some of my all time favourite!



This is the sketch



Hopefully you can find some time to join us for this month's challenge. Entries can be linked here and you have until midnight October 25th Australian Eastern Standard Time.

Thank you for stopping by. I'll be back with a 'spooktacular' share tomorrow!!

Sweet Moments - Greatest View with PageMaps

Hello hello!

October is here and my little calendar is looking busy!

To start us off this month, the Greatest View DT, along with some fabulous scrappers (who you will all be familiar with!) have had loads of fun showcasing GV goodies using Becky Fleck's brilliant sketches at PageMaps!

This was the awesome sketch that was given to me

I've kept the composition pretty much the same, substituting the two smaller photos for one larger one of my little mouse, looking cute as a button on her birthday.

Not trusting myself to draw an accurate large circle, I enlisted the help of a pot lid! I traced the shape with a white gel pen and then drew another as a guideline for my stitching.

A beautiful new 'Good Stuff' badge is one of a bunch of new collections in store now!

The gorgeous chevron Echo Park paper has been run through with a circular embossing folder to give it a bit of texture, after which I've made a faux notepad effect by punching it in a row with a single hole punch and roughing up the edges.

It's a bit tricky to see, but as a very first layer, I spread a section of gesso onto my patterned paper and then ran a Glitz Roller doodle over it. It gave it a kind of de-bossed effect, which I will definately be trying again!
Here I've used one the new 'Here and Now' badges. Seriously, they are all too divine!

If you have the time, pop over to the PageMaps site to see the other layouts in our Guest Designer group - you won't be disappointed!!

Till next time
