A big TOOT TOOT to me!!

I won Casino Royale!! Yah!!! I really loved each of the layouts that I did for this comp, and I am so happy to win. Thank you to everyone who voted for me!! I have recieved my prize, and I will take a picture and upload asap!! Now for some layouts to share. This one is for OOTHs December Challenge - 1. handcutting, 2. dots and spots, 3. rubons. I really love how this one turned out. I had to pull out some photos for another challenge using christmas photos and I didn't realise how many photos from previous years i still had to scrap!! I am on a mission this month to only scrap these!!! This one was for Scrap Therapys December Cybercrop. This was the inspiration challenge - and I won!! Yah me again!!

This was also for Scrap Therapys December Cybercrop, this time for the sketch challenge. Now I love how this one turned out more than the other one, yet this one didn't win. Goes to show everyone has different tastes!! (But i still love my other layout too!!)

This was the only challenge for Scrap Therapys Novemeber Challenges that I managed to complete. The manufactuer of the month was Daisy Bucket, and I have to say that I am not a big fan of their products, but I do love how my cards turned out. And guess what - I won!!! This has been a big month for me!!

I wanted to wait till they were all posted back before I posted my Scrap Therapy Nov ATCs. The theme was Stampede so I made these called "Centipede Stampede". I really love how they turned out.

Last of the Casino Royale Challenges

This is the last round of Roll 2 Creates Casino Royale Comp. This one was rags or riches. I went with the riches option, and you had to make it something about striking it lucky. If you have liked my layouts for this challenge, please head on over to the Roll2Create site and vote for me!!

Out of the Hat.

Novembers Out of the Hat Challenge is : 1. Die cut paper, 2. 3 photos of different sizes, 3. a tree. This is what I came up with.

December Daily

Seems like everyone in the scrapping world is talking about Ali Edwards December Daily. I've decided to do one this year as I have been wanting to scrapbook about my christmas traditions, plus the new christmas traditions Mike and I will be starting in our new house. I have assembled all my pages, and have covered them in the "Dashing"range from Stampin Up. I cut all my numbers from the slice and have everything ready to go. Since this photo i have punched all the bind it all holes into each page, no i just need december to roll around!

Almost at the end of Casino Royale

This is challenge #5 and the card is bonus challenge #3 for Roll2Creates Casino Royale. There is only one more challenge left (which I have finished) and it will all be over on the 24th Nov!! This layout was for "roulette" - green layout, circles and numbers. I love how my page turned out! The bonus challenge was to make a card with the same criteria as challenge #5.

Xmas Album

I am loving my Bind it All at the moment, and made this little album of xmas 2007.

I almost forgot

This is for challenge #4 at Roll2Creates Casino Royale comp. You aren't supposed to post the layout to your blog till after the next challenge is posted, but by then I forget!! Anyway here it is, this one was for "blackjack". You had to use the word black, jack or 21 in your title and had to use a playing card.

Casino Royales

This is my entry for Roll2Creates Casino Royale Bonus Challenge #2. It was a sketch challenge and you had to have a title, flowers and bling. I used the new papers I got from Stampin Up in the Spring Catalog.

More Basic Grey

This is my Baisc Grey Offbeat layout that I said I was working on. It's for Scrap Therapys Oct Technique Challenge - Stamping. I stamped flowers, bird and vines onto Offbeat paper scraps to make all the embellies for this layout. It was inspired by the song 'Somwhere over the Rainbow' to tie in with their theme this month of Musicals. I made this 6x6 mini album for ScrapTherapys Oct Man of the Month Challenge - Basic Grey. I used the Archaic Range to do an album about our Great Ocean Road Trip. I called the title from a song from the Musical 'The Wiz', 'Ease on Down the Road'. There are actually 5 double pages in the album, I have just shown a couple of pages here.

Scrap Therapy

I meant to mention to head over to the Scrap Therapy Blog for the chance to win a prize!!

Basic Grey

The Man of the Month at Scrap Therapy for October is Basic Grey, and I wanted to share with you my 2 all time favourite ranges - Urban Praire and Offbeat. I have made so many layouts with these 2 ranges, and I am still not sick of them!! But first here is my entry for STs Colour Challenge this month, Green,Pink,Brown and White. I have used Basic Greys Two Scoops papers and Basic Greys Sultry letters. I loved Urban Priarie ( I bought the whole pack plus the chipboard embellies!!), and I only have a few little bits left!! As you can see I did 13 pages, one double and a half dozen cards all with the one range and I love every one of them. You can see all these layouts throughout my blog.

Offbeat would have to be my all time favourite. I only bought the pack for this one and I still have sooooo much left to use. So far I have made 13 single layouts and 2 doubles. I have one in the works at the moment for another challenge at ST so I will post when I have it finished.

Mine was from Jolly Holiday from Mary Poppins - 'Ave you ever seenThe grass so green?Or a bluer sky? Wicked was for the inspiration challenge. I used the same layout for my photos, and took inspiration from part of their photo of Wicked.
