My Little Masterchef

Todays layout is another layout I shared over on the Scraploot blog the other week, of my cute little Masterchef. The background info on photos in the layout, is we purchased some cereal that was running a Junior Masterchef promotion and B wanted to enter it. So I logged onto website and entered the info required for the competition and then forgot all about it. Then one day I recieved a random parcel card from the post office, so went to collect it and surprising there it was a Junior Masterchef Pizza set. B loves to make pizzas, or anything for that  matter and now everytime he helps out in the kitchen, he dons his Junior Masterchef apron and hat.

Scraploot Step By Step Reveal

A few weeks back I created a layout for the Scraploot blog, with step by step instructions using the one of my all time favourite collections, Lily Bee Head over Heels. I was also lucky enough to use to We R Memory Keepers Sew Easy tool and I have absolutely fallen in love with it. It makes handstitching on your pages super quick and easy. I adore the photos on this layout. These photos were some selfies taken on my 30th Birthday of my little man and myself. This layout definitely reminds me of why I scrapbook... the emotions and memories that just looking at this stirs in me makes me so happy.

Head Over Heels...

A quick share from me today, of a layout I shared over on the Scraploot Blog last week.
This layout is a photo of my boys and I taken on my 30th Birthday last year in November. I was absolutely spoilt. I have absolutely loved using this Lily Bee Head Over Heels Collection, as although it is quite feminine, it is not too over the top. I will have a couple more layouts to share over the coming weeks using this collection. Hope you are inspired by some of my creations.....

Ready To Learn, Discover, Grow...

So a couple of weeks ago, over on the Scraploot blog, it was my turn to share with our customers a Step by Step layout. For this months DT kit I was given Little Yellow Bicycle - Head of the Class Collection, which has been just perfect for me to capture the events leading up to our little man starting school, along with getting pages ready for the BIG first day... Can't believe that this time next week it will be the night before the big day.

If you are interested in re-creating this layout, head on over to the Scraploot blog where you can find the step by step instructions, you will also find the supply list there too, which is all available at the Scraploot store.

Counting....

I know you are shocked... three posts in less than a week... I told you this year I was trying to be a better blogger. First of all hop on over to the Scraploot Blog to check out my post from today, using the Little Yellow Bicycle - Head of The Class collection. I've already created our little mans' First Day of School layout.

Secondly, I have just now added to my left side bar a 2012 Achievements section. This year for the first year ever I want to keep count of how many layouts I actually create. No... I am not out to create some huge number of layouts I'm just curious as to see how many I actually create. I will say that I am aiming to complete at least 52, as I have decided this year to get on the band wagon and complete a 52 Weeks album. I really enjoyed documenting during December, through the Shimelle, Journal Your Christmas Class. I may not have completed all my layouts yet, but I did journal and take photos every day in December. It made me realise some of the little details we often forget or don't value but in years to come it may be just what we need to remember. I'd love to know who is stopping by my little blog, if you do, please leave me a comment, as I am always looking for new blogs to follow for some added inspiration.
Till next time, take care,

Rach xoxo

Overdue….

So here I am a few months on from my last post… Life has thrown us a few curve balls and therefore blogging has been low on the priority list…. but things are improving so no reason like right now to get back to it…. So just the other day was Valentines Day, and although we’re aren’t big on Valentines Day, (I think any day is an excuse to do something nice for those you love) I have a set of cards and a tag I created for a recent class I taught at Scraploot, themed for Love! This class focussed on colouring black & white. So here are some pretties for you….

Copics Used: N1, N3, N5, N7

Copics Used: W00, W1, W3, W5

Copics Used: C0, C1, C3, C5

Till next time… hopefully not as long between posts this time.
