 catching up on updating blog posts that were not shared from my facebook page. 

This layout was made in OCTOBER 2024 as part of the DESIGN TEAM projects for the NAUTICAL DREAMS collection from  Scrapbook Fantasies .


Nautical Dreams


I'm so thankful that Alicia, Quentin and the Redshaw family saw the spark in me back in 2024 to get back into crafting. Unfortunately it fell flat pretty quickly afterwards, but I'm not back at it. April 2026.. I am trying to catch up on posting / uploading projects and working on plenty of new one's as well. 







Let me know what you think! 
Thanks for your time, Happy Scrapping..

This interactive layout includes the fun easel stand as you can see above. 
I completed this in two stages. I made the bones of the project in one sitting, them came back to finish off with clusters and additions.

You A Maze Me


The first challenge inspiration for the past Cyber Crop over at Scrapbook Fantasies was to use the three Primary colours.
I chose to use the fabulous “Imagine With Alice” collection..
Using the yellow & white chevron paper for the base, adding paint on a foam brush.. Layering with plenty of white spray mist and some stencilling with red & blue circles.
The rest was pretty easy with some fussy cutting pieces around the Red Glitter photo mat.
The photo features my amazing boys during a holiday adventure visit to a Maze park on the Sunny Coast a couple years ago. (hidden journaling on the backside of the layout)

This was a challenge inspired layout using Red / Blue / Yellow.
I was in the car on the way down to Maryborough actually when I saw the challenges released during the Cyber Crop at Scrapbook Fantasies over the weekend.
As I sat there scrolling through FB, I read this challenge and knew straight away I wanted to scraplift one of my own designs from a few years ago.
I wasn’t sure if it’d work out or not. And I will admit it took me a couple of goes to create the base, but I am certainly loving it now!
Very easy techniques on this page done well is what makes this so eye catching for a basic layout. Simple allows the design to tell the story.
Which this does beautifully for our memories.
The photo captures my boys visiting a Maze world on the Sunshine Coast.
It has loads of extra puzzles & games. Fun family themes with some fairy tale’s featured for a fun & whimsical experience.
It’s great when a strong feminine vibed collection like this “Imagine With Alice” can be flipped to suit a great boys themed layout too.

Here are some close ups of this fun Flash layout featuring my boys quite a few years ago now, at Movie World on the Gold Coast.

Heart & Soul - sketch

(*publishing from draft April 2024)

 

I was honoured recently when Louise from Scrapbookers Journal magazine allowed me to be a part of the team to contribute to the Sketch inspiration. 

We all know how much I love a good sketch, so of course when Louise put the call out for interest, I jumped on and crossed my fingers. 

My Heart & Soul

As soon as I saw this sketch, I knew I wanted to do a few different versions. 

This is the second layout featuring the Uniquely Creative - Boho Soul collection from the 2023 Christmas Advent calendar kit. 



First of all, I put all of the town layers together on one bit square, then cut it into the four grid style. 
Instead of flowers as per the sketch, I added plenty of collectable pieces for the clusters. 
A brand new Pinecone ink pad ties it all together nicely, although it is a bit dark and messy.

Dream - sketch

 (*publishing from draft April 2024)

This is the coolest thing to be a part of right here in Australia. 

The paper crafting industry got a major boost last year with the invention of Louise's "The Scrapbookers Journal".. 

An online Scrapbooking magazine with limitless possibilies and the largest base for inspiration sharing per edition that I've ever seen. 

Over the edition issues, the magazine continues to grow and the reach is now international too. 

With supporters across the globe, I was so beyond excited and honoured when I reached out to Louise about possibly joining in with the sketch inspiration, and she said yes! 

This is the first layout I made based on the sketch. I tried to reach the interruption as close as possible with the design. Although, I only used two photos instead of three, as I really don't have many photos of myself Stewarding the speedway events. 


The bright papers are from Kaisercraft - Bloom Studio collection. 

Using only one white cardstock base, the four 6x6 papers and collectable pieces it was very simple and can be put together by any level scrapper.
