Last layout for All About Scrapbooks......

Hello again everyone & welcome :)

Today I am back to share my last layout for All About Scrapbooks using
Simple Stories Summer Vibes collection.

I have made the very difficult decision to step down from my position with the AAS design team, as I am wanting to take a break, not only from my DT scrapping commitments, but also from scrapping in general.  After a full on couple of years, I'm feeling very tired & worn out, and sadly have lost my desire to scrap at the moment, plus I have an ongoing problem with my neck that isn't helping things :(

I'm hoping that after an extended break away, that my desire & mojo will eventually return :)
I have no idea how long that may take, but it's not something I am going to force....if it happens, it happens, and if it doesn't, then I guess it's not meant to be.


Before moving on to share my last layout, I'd like to thank Vanessa, the owner of All About Scrapbooks & 2Crafty Chipboard for all that she has done for me over the past 3 years.   She is a wonderful, generous business owner when it comes to what she provides to her DT members.  I have had nothing but a fabulous positive experience during my time, both on the AAS & 2Crafty teams, of which I am very thankful & grateful.  But sadly, it is time for me to move on, as I have been really struggling lately to scrap at all, let alone creating for my DT commitments.

So once again....a HUGE thank you Vanessa, it's been a wonderful couple of years
that I have enjoyed very much :)  xx

So without further adieu, here is my last layout,
which is something very different to my normal style....

"Riding Along..."

Lots of pieces from the Element's papers plus a few of the gorgeous chipboard frames.

A few close ups.....

Pics are of me and my new vintage bike <3

which I hope to start riding a LOT more :)

You can see my full blog post over on the AAS blog HERE.

Thanks so much for dropping by to see my work.

I really appreciate all the 'regulars' who visit me & leave comments....you know who you are <3

Things will now be very quiet around here on my blog.... for how long, I don't know.

  I will be closing the door on my scrap-room until such time that I hear it calling me back........

Bye for now & take care xxx

New layout with Simple Stories - Summer Vibes for All About Scrapbooks

Hello everyone 

I am back to share my second layout, created with

Simple Stories - Summer Vibes collection for All About Scrapbooks.

Although this is a summer themed collection, I've used photos taken recently on a nice sunshiney winters day......


"Fun in the Sun"

I have used one of the Wood/Grid papers for my background - in pink.
This collection comes with a few different colours of this exact same patterned paper, which I love.

I have used quite a few of the Summer Vibes chipboard frames in among my paper layers, as a bit of a feature....cutting them in half, that way getting 2 pieces for the price of 1 :D



Here's a few close ups....



A cluster of flowers & 2Crafty Chipboard as well as some stickers, diecut pieces & Bradz.

I love the cute little cameras on the selfie paper...perfect for cutting out & using as embellishments :)

All the details, including a list of products used can be seen in my full blog post HERE on the 

All About Scrapbooks blog - would love for you to pop over there for a looksie :)
And you can find the Summer Vibes collection in the AAS store HERE

Thanks for dropping by & I hope you've been inspired by this fun collection...xxx

How awesome is that soft woodgrain paper used for the background piece!

Design Team Callout.....

Did you know that All About Scrapbooks is having a design team callout?

I have been on the All About Scrapbooks DT for close to 2 years now, 

and I have to say that it is the BEST design team I've ever been on.

Vanessa is the most easy going person there is, and she is super super generous with her DT packages.

You would not be disappointed if you were successful in making the team, so if this sounds like your kind of DT to be on, it will really be worth your while to apply!

So what are you waiting for?

Hello Hello & welcome :)

This month I will be working with the Cocoa Vanilla Studio "Made of Awesome" collection., which is one of the newest aussie kids on the block in the scrapbooking world -  by Zoe Pearn.

This is such a FUN collection...and would be suited for any aged boy layouts, and perhaps non male layouts as well ;)

My layout is based on Sketchabilities sketch #144

"Totally Awesome"

There's lots of fabulous colours in this collection...I've gone for one of the plainer papers for my background piece...the reverse side of the Lucky Star paper, which is this lovely orange with a very subtle geometric pattern over it.

Here is the fun sketch at Sketchabilities

And some close ups.....

There's lots of great diecuts, flairs & vellum embellies....just to name a few ;)

And super cool tickets.
