Scrapaneers - July Challenge

Hello Everyone,

Over at Scrapaneers, there is a challenge to post a layout that:

• uses the colours of your country's flag
• has patterned paper somewhere on the layout
• includes a title, and
• has at least 2 photos on the layout.

I decided to go for Australia's Olympic flag colours of green and gold as the Olympics are just around the corner and I am seeing green and gold everywhere in the lead up to this magnificent event.
So here is my take on the challenge:

I wouldn't have normally used these colours, but I really like this combination. That is what I love about challenges - doing something you usually wouldn't. It was super fun to create.

Scrapaneers - Champions June and July

Hello Everyone,

Today I would like to share some layouts I created using tips and techniques from the monthly subscription for digital scrappers over at Scrapaneers called, 'Champions'. If you are interested in learning digi scrapping or want to improve your skill base, it is a fantastic place to take classes. There is something for everyone. Check it out here: http://scrapaneers.com/workshops-2/

For July, we are learning about changing papers and embellishments in the kit to make them suit our needs as well as how to add more interest by adding more detail to embellishments.

My layout for this month may not look as if I have used many techniques, but I have changed the papers by adjusting the colours and made a new paper with a stripe paper, created tags and added my own glitter, amongst other tehniques:

For June, it was about creating our own borders and clusters. I used photos from 2015 and 2013. How children grow so much in a year constantly astounds me. :)

Some Digi Layouts

Hello Everyone,

Today I am sharing some digi layouts that I created just for the fun of it. My children went to a Disco party last weekend and included in their 'lolly-bag' were some huge glasses. My last post had my eldest daughter with hers, and today is my younger daughter. Next time I'll do my son. They had such an 'awesome' time at the party and the glasses and blow-up microphone (also included in the lolly-bag) have given them great enjoyment since. How cool is that?

After looking at the above photos of my daughter, I looked at some older ones and thought, 'geez - how time flies'. I never scrapped the photo below, but wanted to keep a more special visual record of it, and scrap it this time using a QuickPage. This means, that the digital page is already done, there is just a spot for the photo to be slipped in. Bits can also be added to the layout. In this case, however, I left the page as is, and just added the photo and the date. Simple and quick! The photo was from 2011. It really reminded me to enjoy each moment with my children. They grow so quickly. I think the first 5 years seem to go on forever, but once they start school - oh my goodness, it just rushes by!

AWESOME
