Back In a flash!

Huge hello Everyone!

Well i was almost back in a flash...lol
well truely i have suprised mysle today not only did i get through church a live 
with both the little boys...whom wanted to speed there hot wheels across the church floor(OMG!)
But i also Baked Cup Cakes and
seemed to get another Kaisercraft sketch done?!
I know! i really have to get some more of this wonder coffee!!
it's a worry though when i realize that i'm grinding my teeth?! ...seriously only one cup tomorrow...lol

any way i thought i would give the Double Kaisercraft Sketch a go..
well i sort of made it into a simple layout cause my printer is running
out of ink and i just though why not!
so going of the original Saturday Sketch #1 for Jan 2011
i used the basic outlay for the pattern papers, and focused on the three largest
photos on the double layout and
then a few of the embellishment placementand the title placement from the 
original double for balance and then i just filled in the blanks ....
i hope some of that made sense...lol
well here is what i came up with 






   I really love these photos of Ash and ME :D
they really show those really speacil snuggle moments we have :D which i cherish with all my heart!
i used the Lush collection from Kaisercraft, papers,rubons,die cuts, thise cute little
journal blocks and some Kaisercraft large cream alphas
as well as some Kaisercraft inks!...lol
really given my kaisercraft Stash a work out this weekend :D

Well now with that out of the way i think i can read in peace...lol 
yeah i know... you think i could block out the need to scrap just long enough to read the last chapters
of my book...lol 
But my mind just clicked on how to use this double as a single layout and i was off!
Like a frog in a sock...lol i love that saying :D

Well Lovelies i really do hope your Sunday has been a scrappy one, but
if not i just hope you got to put your feet up....
or   at the very least a HUGE HUG!!!

:D

Happy Sunday!
{HUGS} 

Oh For the Love of Sundays!

Huge Hello Everyone!

Well i've got to say it is just my totally fav day of the Week Again!
I just LOVE Sundays!!
today is even over cast so i'm stoked!!

I'm thinking after i finish up with my Church thingy with my parents..(LONG Story)
 I'll come home and brew some coffee and get stuck into a sketch and clean up my stash
then i'm thinking i'm going to attack my book..only 5 chapter left!
any way with thqat in mind i better show you what i stayed up last night doing

Kasiercraft Sketch of course!...lol







 I ended up using Pear tree collection from Kaisercraft as it suited the colours in my edited photo,
One of those fun perspective photos that lockie and i fluked...lol
still i really enjoyed using the Kaisercraft chipboard as a mask for the background
along with using the yummy lace and pear strips!

well i'm running out on time and i'm sure i'll be back soon with what ever i make this afternoon
...well thats if my book doesn't swollow up my whole day...lol

Happy Sunday Scrappen :D

Bring on the Coffee!!

Huge hello Everyone!
Hope your friday is finding you well and has given you enough time for
all the important things and of cousre the chores...lol

Well totday was a bit of a challenge
just getting out of bed and organizes was a mission
so out comes the super dooper coffee blend..lol
Now two layouts later and all the chores done...well
except for dinner....I'm able to jump on real quick and show you what i've been up too...

Now first i really wanted to get these photos scrapped..
you know those ones that have been floating around on your desk for a while...lol
Well those ones!!
now i found it really hard to match these colours in the Kaisercraft ranges as i wanted 
to do last Saturday sketch before tomorrows,
I ever started name calling the editor of these photo..
lol which is myself...lol
WHy couldn't i have just fiddle with the Saturation or Just made them black and white!!
lol! now thats one trick i have learned scrapbooking
Trick #1 make sure your pattern papers, matches the colours in your photo/s
so this was a mission, any way settled on what was left of the Roboctics range from
way back...






As you can see the blue is a little off (LOL that beein nice)
but still i was trying to match up the yellows and reds...and sort of blue...lol
oh well still time to do this sketch again :D

Next i Dived into the New Pallet from The Colour Room
Now when i fisrt saw this pallet i was .."oh yeah blues?!"
then after a look at what the Creative team came up wiht i just went straight for 
my Fancy Pants Happy together collection




So with a sprinkle of prima and a some lovely Glimmer mist i cam up with this
darling layout...
Well my man is given we the un spoken code of "it's my turn on the computer"
LOL! so i better bend to the whim of My Working man
:D
You how it is keep your your family happy :D
their happy your happy :D

Hope you've enjoyed my little rant...lol
