I had printed this sketch & taken it away with me last week to scrap....but then when it came time to scrap it, I couldn't find it!  Sooooo I had to rely on the ol memory bank for what the sketch looked like....and well, I don't think the ol memory served me too well!!!  lol ....but I guess it's close...sorta, kinda  :-/

SBT50 Cyber Crop

This months Scrapbooking Top 50 cyber crop is a sketch themed CC, and it all started off last night on the SBT50 forum....and lucky ol me is guest designer :)

For my sketch, I chose a Pagemaps sketch....and my challenge is to add some doodling to your layout.

Here is the sketch...

And here is my sample layout....

I have flipped the sketch on it's side....and I have doodled around the outside edge of my layout, plus doodled some stitching around each piece of patterned paper....and I've also used a CW template to doodle some branches & leaves across my page.

For my challenge there is a $25 voucher from Scrapbooking Haven up for grabs!!! (Huge thanks to Scrapbooking Haven for the generous prize & support of this months CC!). 

You can check out all the other sketches & challenges HERE on the SBT50 forum.
The CC runs until 23rd October, so you have plenty of time to get some entries in & there are lots of other great prizes on off, so head on over & join in on all the CC fun!

Thanks for dropping by & TFL!

Handmade by Suzanne monthly sketch...

Firstly, I'd like to thank eveyone for their lovely comments & congratulative messages from my previous post - they are very much appreciated :-)

Have you seen the October sketch at Handmade by Suzanne?  It is a beautiful sketch, created by fellow DT member, Michelle Fowler....so why not give it a go?!  Would love to see my blog followers giving it a go....there is a fantastic $30 store voucher up for grabs (which includes free postage!)...so what are you waiting for?

Here is the sketch....

And here is my take on it...

Using lots of old goodies from my stash (with a few newish ones tossed in too).  Pics are of us waiting for our Limo ride in Sydney last year (hope you're all not getting sick of seeing layouts on our well known limo trip...lol).  I managed to get this one scrapped while we were away for a week down in NE Victoria....with limited space, limited amount of stash & limited time....but I'm pretty happy with how this one turned out.

If you'd like to give this months sketch a go....you have until the end of the month to upload to the Handmade By Suzanne gallery HERE

I have some happy scrappy news to share!

I have been keeping some exciting news under my belt for about a month....but yay, I can finally share! :)

I am now the newest member on the Handmade by Suzanne design team!  OMG - talk about excited!!!
This has been a dream of mine since since I first applied for the original DT callout when Handmade by Suzanne first opened.  Did I mention that I'm excited?!?!  lol.

Suzanne has the most amzing online store - she stocks just about everything! & if there's something she doesn't have, she'll do her best to get it in for you.  I am totally amazed at how much her store has grown....and is continuing to grow....

A huge thank you to Suzanne for having me on her DT & having the faith in my work :)

Ok, so on with some shares....

Suzanne sent me the gorgeous Pink Paislee - Vintage Vogue range of papers & diecuts....along with some gorgeous ribbons (yes she stocks those too!  and we all know how much I love ribbons, so yay for me...lol), Kaisercraft wooden shapes & some super funky American Crafts - Hello Lizzy thickers!

And this is what I have created so far....

My first LO - "Enjoying the ride"...I've used some Coredinations for my base & Pink Paislee Vintage Vogue - Dress shop & Beauty Parlour papers...plus a heap of die cut shapes from the Pink Paislee VV Ephemera pack - these are just fantastic!!  I love the size of the die cuts in this pack, nothing is too big IYKWIM? ... these are all just perfect sizes - love them!  I've also used a few strips of ribbon & the gorgeous Kaisercraft wooden padlock that I've painted....plus a variety of bits from my stash.



and next....

My 2nd LO "2011" using PP VV - Tailored Suit as my base and then some Taffeta, Eau De Parfume & the reverse side of Tailored Suit papers, along with more die cuts, Kaisercraft padlock, ribbons...and a few bits n bobs from my stash.

That's all I have created for now....but hopefully I'll be back soon to share more from this gorgeous range!

We are heading away for a weeks break tomorrow, and I'm going to take a bit of scrapping gear with me, so fingers crossed that I find some time to scrap!

Thanks so much for dropping by & thanks also for all the wonderful comments everyone has been leaving - they're greatly appreciated & really make my day!   xxx
