Turkish Delight

We had our annual scrapbooking weekend away at Easthampstead Park a couple of weeks ago. A great time with friends who love crafting, some I see regularly, others only get to meet up once a year. Great fun was had with all these lovely ladies, as we crafted while being looked after by the staff.

Another great thing about these weekends and crafting in like-minded company means you always have others to offer suggestions and ideas when you are stuck. One area I often seek ideas for - is titles for my scrapbook pages and this page was no exception (Thanks Linda x).

This is a photo of my daughter Catherine, her boyfriend George, and their friends Lucy and Louie, on holiday in Turkey last year. Catherine had arranged these colourful cocktails which they enjoyed on arrival. 

The things I used (some of which are old and from my stash):

The layout is quite sparkly (difficult to capture) due to the use of Stampendous Frantage Embossing Enamel - Shabby White used on the Dusty Attic Chipboard Pieces after painting with White Acrylic Paint.
Papers - Maja Design - Coffee in the Arbour Collection - Lemon Meringue Pie & Homemade Lemon Curd.

Head Over Heels In Love

This is my design team layout for the November Scraplift challenge on Scrapology,

My daughter and her boyfriend George have had a busy year and not had a lot of time together as Catherine is on tour with a theatre company. The photograph was taken when they took a week off together and travelled to Turkey back in August.

This month we've chosen this brightly coloured, fun layout by Carmen Crosseti Henriquez. Carmen's blog Scrap Joy can be found here.

 We drew a sketch as always.

For my layout I used:

Patterned papers from Bo Bunny's 'Head Over Heels' collection

Background 'Prince Charming'
Hearts and thin strip are all from 'Head Over Heels'

Wide strip is ''Ever After'

Heart paper clip - Making Memories
Letter Stickers - American Craft Black Foam Thickers - Elm

Thread - DMC Dark Grey
Sew Easy Tool - We R Memory Keepers

Ink - Festive Berry Distress Ink

Number Buttons - Doodlebug Design Inc.

Flat-backed pearls and hearts - various suppliers.

Thanks for looking and I do hope you will create a layout and enter the challenge.

52 Christmas Crackers 2014 - Week 38

Popping by with my Christmas card, which gave me a chance to play with a new toy - my Envelope Punch Board from We R Memory Keepers. It is an Inspiration Picture challenge this week - with colours which were a bit of a challenge for a Christmas card. I decided to stick to the papers I had on my desk from making this weeks Birthday card. Please see Kool Kitty Musings Blog for details of the challenge.

Catching a quick photo while the sun is out...

...  as it soon went in again!

A reminder of the prompt photo:

{Pinterest pin}

I used:

Patterned papers - Crate Paper
Shaped the edges of the card with We R Memory Keepers Envelope Punch Board (notch cut at 1" intervals)
Shapes - paper snowflakes from my stash - not sure where I got them - probably a UKS Advent swap from many years ago!

Flat-Backed Self adhesive gems
Baker's Twine
