Remember This

i've been trying to house my ever growing pile of finished layouts and realised there are quite a few i haven't shared here yet. So here's a couple using the 'Remember This' kit from Scrapbook Circle (which is almost entirely used up now!).

This is my awesome friend Vicki. This page is really personal, hence the hidden journalling. But let's just say she helped me out of a very dark place. i love just using the hexagon paper as embellishments, they are so cute scaled down on 6x6!

This layout actually got chosen by Rebecca from the Scrapbook Circle DT to Scraplift for the 'lift a subscriber' challenge that they run on the blog. You can see her take on my layout in the post here. If you'd like the chance to be lifted too, just share a layout using a Scrapbook Circle kit on their facebook page. 

For this one i used a text stamp on kraft cardstock around the edges. i also added a couple of wood veneer stars from Studio Calico & some Sassafas alphabets. Which by the way, i have a really big hoard of, i will be soooo sad when they run out as they are the perfect size for 8x11 1/2" layouts. Love that the Elle's Studio Tags are pretty AND functional.

These pictures were taken at a film convention last year where i got to meet some of the animals that were in the Harry Potter films. If you know me, you know i'm a huuuge HP fan, so i was totally excited. We also got to see them perform tricks & the animal trainers talked about how they teach the animals to learn new stuff for movie roles. The quality isn't great as they were taken with my phone so as not to freak the animals out, but i'm glad i've got them. 

TMC April Challenge

This months challenge over at the TMC challenge blog is  to make handmade flowers. I used a mistable trim from Pink Paislee to make mine.

Supplies: Scrapbook Circle February Kit. Papers: Crate Paper, October Afternoon, Flower Sack Pieces: October Afternoon, Polaroid Printable: Scrapbook Circle, Mistable Trim: Pink Paislee, Washi Tape: Hambly, Chipboard, Brads: MME, Journalling Card: Elles Studio, Stamps: Studio Calico, K&Co, Alpha Stickers: Basic Grey,  Ink: JBS, Mists: Maya Road & Studio Calico, Other: Button, Tiny Attacher. 

Yellow flowers are my favourite, you can usually find a bunch on my living room windowsill and as i am forever snapping pictures of them i thought they deserved a page. 

Currents

i've always been a fan of Tina's Currents Series & was stoked when she released her own digital cards to purchase from her shop. i love the design AND they are grey! My favourite colour, right next to navy. It's like she designed them just for me! Except she didn't. But that doesn't make me adore them any less. And if grey's not for you then i'm guessing, if you know how, the colour can also be altered. Anywho, i bought them mainly to use in Project Life. Because that's right people, i'm taking a brave step and going HYBRID!! i try not to get my computer involved in my scrappy endeavours because i spend all day at work on one, a fair amount of my time perusing blogs and galleries for funs and editing photos (which i don't find fun). So i figure it's good for me to step away from the computer and just play. i'm also not very computer savvy. However, there were just too many lovely digital journalling cards out there designed for Project Life for me to resist. So i recently printed a load off and spent some time cutting them all out so they are ready to go. Job done. It's been a while since i did a Currents page though so i decided to incorporate some of Tina's cards on a layout.

Kit: Scrapbook Circle February, Stamp, Mist: Studio Calico, Ink: JBS

For this page i used the February Scrapbook Circle Kit which was packed with a new line from MME designed by Rhonna Farrer. This was my first time ordering with them and i was really pleased with their customer service and the kits themselves are gorgeous!
