Race aftermath

I love that feeling after a race when you know you have run hard, you've just had a shower and are curled up under a blanket in front of the TV in a nice warm house.... yeh that!

Bliss!

Just thought I'd share :)

Inspired much?!

A bit late with this sketch, it's #92 from Inspired Blueprints:

I decided to go Christmassy for this one after purchasing some Christmas papers from the Storyboard retreat. Here is my take:

 

 

There will be new sketches up at the Inspired Blueprints blog very very soon so watch this space :)

 Hellooooooo!!! Another gorgeous sketch from Inspired Blueprints is up.... actually there's 2 more up at the blog. This one is Sketch #90:

My take is a fave page of mine. I used different coloured glimmer mist to create a rainbow effect over the gear patterns. But I can't take the credit for that idea... my bestie Sar used this technique on one of her pages so it is actually scraplifted lol... but that's the beauty of scrapbooking, you can use lots of different ideas from other pages to create your own unique layout!

 

For more inspiring ideas, go check out what the design team has come up with... and have a look at Sketch #91 while you're there! You won't be disappointed :)

 

I promise to share my layouts from the Storyboards kit retreat that I went to last month in my next post, I just have to get used to this new computer and windows 8... eeeek!!

Sketch #88 from Inspired Blueprints

I have been a bit slack with my blog posting... I've actually been scrapping a fair bit, just not posting! Oops! So thought I'd better share my latest IB layout. Sketch #88 looks like this:

 

I rotated the sketch 90 degrees to the left and swapped the title and embellies around so I could use these portrait photos.  This is one achievement I am really proud of.... my first solo marathon :)

Have a go at creating a layout and for more inspiration, check out what the rest of the IB design team have come up with here.

Byeeeee for now!

Two more gorgeous IB sketches

Sketch #85...

And my take.... I used two smaller photos and a patterned paper with a pretty design down the side. I love these photos of me with my son, Jared. We were holidaying in Coffs Harbour at the time and it was the first time he had been sick all year and still managed a smile!

Sketch #86....

My take stays true to the sketch but I have replaced the doilies with some journalling tags for a more masculine look. My two grubby faced boys :)))

 

 

Why not have a go at creating your own layout based on these sketches. Go check out what the design team has created at the blog and upload your layout in the Inspired blueprints gallery before the end of the month to be in the running to win loads of scrappy prizes!

Multi photo sketches

This is Sketch #83 from Inspired Blueprints:

I used neutral tones with a touch of aqua blue in my layout. This one is my fave so far. "Love time with you", photos of me with my amazing husband, Anthony.... together for 10 years on this day and still enjoying each other's company (despite the occasional clash of opinions lol).

Sketch #84 is now up at the inspired blueprints blog... a multi-photo sketch. I love multi-photo sketches because it allows you to scrapbook an event or a series of photos on the one layout:

My take is of a hot day last year when we got out the slip n slide and the boys had so much fun!  Just goes to show you don't have to spend a fortune on kids to show them how to have fun. Love it!

IB sketch #82

Another fun sketch from Inspired Blueprints.  This is Sketch 82:



My take:



I used some photobooth shots from a 40th birthday party we went to instead of one 4x6" photo. Love how it turned out :)
