A little sneak peek....

Hi everyone....I guess you've all been wondering where I got to, eh? 
I seemed to have a run on pumping out the layouts & now I've been all quiet for a week or so. 
Well, I have been busy scrapping, but they're things I can't share just yet! 

Here is a sneak peek at what I've been up to.....

4 different layouts....that I will be sharing over the coming weeks, plus a few more that are still in the planning stages.  Plus I have a bit of scrappy news to share, so I will be back over the coming days to share that too!

Thanks for dropping by today, and also a big welcome to my new followers....it's great to have you following along with me, I hope you are enjoying my work :)

Catch you all shortly..... xxx

Sketchabilities - Sketch # 97

Hi everyone,  just popping in quickly before hitting the hay tonight.   I'm sharing another layout for Sketchabilites - sketch #97.....Using more of some older papers in my stash - American Crafts, Chap  (from a fairly old Paper Stories kit)... I wanted something bright to help lift this not so perfect photo (it's way over exposed....but is still one of my fav's as I think it really depicts us both perfectly - in our element, out there in this great country of ours exploring everything it has to offer!).

Love this CW arrow template on the background....with some Kaisercraft stamping as well.

 

 

Here is Karan's fabo sketch.....

 

 

And some close ups

Some paper rosettes & a few brads & buttons...and a bit of a close up view of the template/stamping work

 

 

Love the banners in this sketch...& I've added some journaling strips

 

 

Some more little banners, badge button & brad

 

 

And a close up overall view.

 

I do have more journaling on the back of the layout, but am wayyyy too tired to type it all out :-/

(maybe I'll add it tomorrow)

 

Thanks so much for visiting my blog & for your comments - I really do love reading them & they always make me smile!  Until next time...take care.  xx

Sketchbook 365 - September sketch

And hello again to you all......just popping in quickly to share my layout that I created for Sketchbook 365 September sketch challenge, before heading outside for the afternoon to enjoy the beautiful sunny day that we're having...spring must be on its way!!!

 

So, on with the scrappy business....

 

 

Created using American Crafts "Chap" papers & embellies that have been in my stash for quite a while, and were from a kit from Paper Stories...as well as a few other bits n bobs from my stash.

 

I wanted to create something bright! :)

 

Pic is of our pooch, Oscar, being totally spoilt & getting a neck massage & scratch....while we were camping! LOL...he is one spoilt dog!!!  but we love him to bits <3

Can you see his face in the 3rd photo?  yep you've HIT the spot RIGHT there!

 

And here is the sketch

 

 

Title & journaling (the basics)...and a little bit of background stamping

popping out from under the pp's

 

One of the AC paper rosettes, fabric brad & chipboard frame.

 

And a few brads & flair button...and some drips n splats of different mists

 

I added a little paper/button cluster at the top of the layout....it was just a wee bit too much white space for me without it.

 

And a close up overall view.

 

Journaling on the back of the layout reads:

 

7.4.2013

 

It was a last minute decision to head to Carcoar for the weekend, and we knew that you (Oscar) would want to come too, so of course we packed all your gear up as well and headed off in the van.  Being an inside dog & the weather was starting to cool off dramatically, we needed to come up with somewhere for you to sleep.....so we took your own little tent (lol)...I'm sure people thought we were mad!  You absolutely loved it & each day we'd take you for walks & let you explore the dam & countryside surrounding it.  This Sunday morning, you were being totally spoilt & earned yourself a neck massage, ear rub & a scratch....you were in pure dog heaven & enjoyed every bit of it!

 

 

Okie doke...that's all from me for now.

Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend....until next time, take care!  xx
