Charm's Creations

Last layout of the month is... oh so yummy...

Now this layout is MEANT to be for Scrap the Girls, but for some reason it didn't end up as PINK as I wanted it.... so I added as many "pink bits" as I could.... including a NEW Charms Creations...

I haven't worked out what to call it yet... maybe I need to have a little comp for that?? What do you think?? do you like?

Not sure if this is the best layout to "showcase" it seeing as the page is a bit busy with multi-photos and the paper... but I think the page NEEDED it... hehe...

I've also used a packet of Pink & Cream Lovely Lollipops too! Couldn't resist!

Anyway, I've been really happy with how much scrapping I've been able to do this month, a lot more than the usual!! 16 layouts and LOTS of cards! Not too shabby!!!

How did you go?

i love my life! - Once... Upon a Sketch!

OK, so since I have TIME to scrap some layouts that aren't CT I thought I'd give the Once... Upon A Sketch Nov 15th a go....

It's meant to be about what I love about being a woman, but I've kind of written about what I love about my life... haha...

I've used gorgeous Jillibean Soup Sweet & Sour Soup Stickers, October Afternoon Papers, Charms Creations Yummy Yellow Lovely Lollipops & Green Spotty Fabulous Flowers & other bits and pieces...

more closeups...

Thanks for looking!

The Colour Room #86...

YAY! I had time to scrap something other than my CT/DT commitments - I had these two photos from last year I've been wanting to scrap and when I saw the colour combo & the sketch for The Colour Room Palette #86 - it was perfect!

I've used:

Prima Marketing Printery paper

Teresa Collins Christmas Home Papers & Embellishments

Jillibean Soup Alphabet & journalling tags

Prima Alphabet Stickers

Websters Pages Simple Trim {Red}

Charms Creations RBL {Red & Black} Lovely Lollipops

think that's it!

the journalling...

the red alphas are from the Jillibean Soup Christmas Chowder Alphas & the key is from the Teresa Collins Christmas Home collection... LOVE the trim too ;)

 

My Red & black Lovely Lollipops matched perfectly with the page too :)

It's been really nice to be able to scrap scrap scrap away!!!
