SUYS April Challenge

Today I'm here to share with you this months's challenge over at Show Us You Stuff. April's challenge is to scrap a 6.5x11 inch layout! Here is my sample...

I haven't scrapped a smaller in a really long time but I've always thought symmetry was most flattering on smaller, rectangle LO's. I thought I would make the photo the star in this LO because I really love it!
All items, excluding some washi tape, are from an older kit from APOCD, including my handmade item.

Thanks for stopping by and make sure you head over to SUYS (if you haven't already) and check out the other DT samples, and of course, enter the challenge!

Kit Lovin'

Hi fellow scrapper! I'm back to share with you two more LO's. Both are using A Piece of Cake Designs August kit plus some extras, mist and washi tape. As I am at Uni with limited space I decided to take the kit down and finish it off! I created three (the other is for a DT) MORE layouts and still have a lot of producy left over! It is so much easier and alot quicker to create, most of the time I am stuck sorting out which papers and product to use.

The first LO is using Scrap Friends March challenge sketch.

 And the next is for Stuck!? Sketches March 15th challenge.

Thanks for stopping by! I hope you all have a lovely Easter break, I know I will!

Challenge Shares

HI all, 

My first LO to share is for the Kraft It Up challenge this month which is to creatively use stickers. Not only have I used boarder stickers, chipboard sticker and Thickers I have used an old (boarder) sticker sheet as a mask! I peeled off what was left of the sheet, stuck it on my layout and covered with texture paste! And it surprisingly peeled off very easily and hey presto! 

Why would you spend money on expensive mask when you can find one in your rubbish bin! Haha. Also the adhesive backing means no bleeding of your paint or mist! Yay

This next LO is using the sketch over at Scrap Friends. Nothing innovative done on this one that I can share! Although I did use alot of boarder stickers so I would have a mask to use on my Kraft it Up LO! LOL

I do have one more LO half finished on my scrapping desk for Stuck! But I'm heading off to Uni in Bendigo tomorrow so it looks like that will have to go unfinished for a couple more weeks! Oops. 

Thanks for stopping by,

Over at SUYS this month the challenge is to take inspiration from this image and, as always, to include a handmade embellishment...

I took inspiration from the quote for my LO and made a collage of (some of) my scrapbooking LO's from over the last...8?...years! Who knows if I did eat paste as a toodler eventually prompting a sudden urge to start scrapping all those years ago!

30 layouts are feautured in the photo but that's not even half of what I have created. The first titled 'Dance Concert', was the first one I ever did (we can only laugh at them now can't we?), and the last one I completed only this month!

Also thought I'd throw some modelling paste onto my LO to keep with theme!

I have multiple handmade embellishment, both are from this months sponsers!

Raquel has recently released some exciting  new product at APOCD! They are 'Cherry Flairs'! I have the Everyday Woodgrain range but there are many more to choose from! Check them out here and maybe add them to your LO!

Or you could visit Agnus at Scrap This and get some adorable, fuzzy felt, handmade embellishment, like the arrow I've used! Either way enter this months challenge and you could win either!

Happy Scrapping,
Sophie xx
