A few new inspiring sketches :)

Yes, I know, I know... late again! So, I will get right to the point.

Here is Inspired Blueprints sketch #94, a simple but elegant sketch using one 5x7 portrait photo and embellished with scattered flowers.

 

 

I do love scrapbooking with flowers but as I have two boys, I don't like to use flowers too often, so with this sketch, I used mainly circles to embelish...

 

 

Sketch #96 is another one photo sketch, this time using a 4x4 photo.



 

And my take.... went a little crazy with the black paint there.. oops!

 

 

I always say I will blog more often and for some reason or another, it just doesn't happen. So this time, I will just say that I will try my best :)

 

Oh and go check out the inspired blueprints blog for more scrappy inspiration and to find out how to enter to win fantastic prizes!

 

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!
