The Scrappery

Is a new kit club started by two gorgeous and creative young Aussie gals with a great eye for colour and design, Kayla & Renae.

They release several kits each month with different styles and themes (that also colour co-ordinate really well) so there is something for everyone.

Check out the blog or FB page to see what's happening.

There were 3 challenges at The Scrappery Peek Party this month, all of which I managed to complete at the last minute, nothing like a deadline to get me going, here they are in reverse order.

Third, make a pocket 'insert' for your album. Now I think I got this a little wrong because I did a whole 12x12 pocket page to 'insert' into my album. I rarely do pocket pages so in my album it is quite different.

Hawt car!!

Second was a sketch

and my page

That kraft card is a brand called A La Carte, from Lincraft, and is quite yellow.

First was not my usual thing (pastels) 

but I had lots of fun playing around with an unfamiliar colour palette (and a really old photo!) and came up with this

The Scrappery has a Peek Party with challenges on FB every month with points as prizes that you can put towards a kit.

Come along and play next month, you'll get some gorgeous pages done, meet some new friends, and maybe win a prize.

Fun!

Thanks for coming by

Playing with this sketch from the January Scrap The Girls challenge

Here is my page....

I used Prima papers which I got in a beautiful prize pack from Blitsy

and some other stuff I had lying around.
I didn't have any pics from the actual event,
the girl-child doesn't think of them in the excitement. But I did

take some when she got home covered in mud and I also managed to acquire

the metal key that she found in the mud at the event and her ticket, so all up

it is a page full of memories for her.

Love is in the Air

I recently won a lovely prize from 7 Dots Studio,

a pack of their new range called 'Love is in the Air',

full of soft pastels with a hint of distressed type patterns.

I'm not much of a pastel gal but this is really pretty!

Here are the two pages I have done so far...

Both things I love, in honour of Valentine's Day today :-)

The background on the next page was done with a TCW template 

and a mix of leftover light brown/yellow mists.

When my mists are getting too low to spray properly

I pour them into each other and mix similar colours,

it makes them go that little bit further.

You can keep up with new releases and what people are doing with their papers 

here on the 7 Dots FB page.

Thanks so much for dropping by.
