Morning ladies!! I had some fun with some <a href="http://sawyersplace.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Sawyers Place</a> washi and gesso last night! I simply layered the page up with washi and the popped some gesso over it. I used a scrap piece of corugated card to spread the gesso and it gave it a nice line effect. I've also used washi to cover my wooden Studio Calico hexagon borders - cool huh? And it look slike it took ages, but it really didn't. I simply ripped 1cm long bits of washing and wrapped them around each hexagon side - sounds laborious, but it was really quite quick!! That's one of the great things about washi - it's just so versatile and quite quick to work with!!</div>

First, i thought i'd share a few pages with some yummy <a href="http://sawyersplace.bigcartel.com/" target="_blank">Sawyers Place</a> washi!!<br />
<br />
I did this page recently, based on a page by the very talented Mel over at Somewhere To Scrap - I used a craft knife to cut out lots of sections of the spiderweb background and then filled the sections with washi tape and scrap patterned paper. Then i finally mounted it on a piece of red patterned paper. Cool, huh!! Something i love about washi is that you can add small amounts of colour without breaking up a whole piece of patterned paper!!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
Here's another layout i've done with some yummy green spotty washi!! See how it just adds a touch of extra colour!! So fun and easy :D<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0964-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="400" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0964-1.jpg" width="398" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0967-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" height="224" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0967-1.jpg" width="400" /></a>
<br />
<br />
But you don't have to use washi as just a small accent - it can be a major part of your page!! Check out what i've done on this page - i've basically used washi as patterned paper!! Plus, washi makes an incredibly quick and easy banner - you just have to fold a piece over some string and trim it!!!<br />
<br />

Last weekend i went on the <a href="http://www.scrapboutique.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrapboutique</a> Coffs Harbour retreat and it was AWESOME!!!! It was so lovely to sit and scrap totally uninterrupted, and to be able to just leave it when ever i wanted to, without worrying about the kids getting into it!!! I got LOADS done, especially some November challenges!!! I can't share them all in one post, so i'll just share the ones that need to be linked to my blog today - and hopefully i'll get to share the rest later in the week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Last share today is my take on the second challange for November over at <a href="http://mymindseye.typepad.com/" target="_blank">MME</a>. The theme was 'gratitude'. I've used some of the delicous papers from 'the sweetest thing' range - aren't the colours gorgeous?!!!?! I am very thankful for how Scarlet has grown - being a premmie baby, it's just fantastic seeing her flourish with her beautiful belly!!!<br />

Evening all!! Thought i'd share a couple of challenge sketches that have been released today.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Firstly, the <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">'once upon a... sketch'</a> blog has teamed up with <a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/" target="_blank">'colour stories inspiration'</a> for this month's challenges!! This means there will be 4 challenges instead of their usual 1, and you only have 9 days to submit them, rather than the whole month!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's the first challenge:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #444444; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', Trebuchet, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 21px; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
So, don't forget that this challenge is due 2pm Monday 17th September :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The second sketch i'm sharing today is the 2nd <a href="http://www.kaisercraft.com.au/blog/" target="_blank">Kaisercraft Blog</a> Saturday Sketch for September - you have until the end of this month to submit this one :D Now, for some reason they haven't put an actual sketch up, just a layout. They will probably fix this later in the week, so check out the blog before you do it to be sure :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
One more sketch left - The <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Stuck?!</a> sketch for September is too fabulous not to share:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Isn't it great? Simple but effective - and leaves lots of room for interpretation!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had a lovely afternoon at my LSS <a href="http://www.somewheretoscrap.com.au/" target="_blank">'Somewhere to Scrap'</a> doing my monthly Krafty Koncepts class. This is such a fab class and what a fab shop - i can't recommend it enough - their range is unreal, and such a pleasure to shop in as it's light and airy and well laid out. Plus, they have a coffee shop within the shop so you can have a cappuccino while you scrap!!! Love it :D</div>

How are you going with the monthly challenges so far? I've done two :D</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first one is for the <a href="http://purplepumpkincrafts.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Purple Pumpkin</a> blog challenge which was using this sketch:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ro8jUh9zbph_gP22kskXV7d8qtDHNJRmKyqvFyqnf_q-ZdBzxlBmzqRuHFodySxlm6vaYgK58g7HAug5rSRUm-1kv1VFzni3glrgMeGBXxz8nZG6mL9zwuDm2c9dzylEcd8u_CDdas8/s400/September+12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1ro8jUh9zbph_gP22kskXV7d8qtDHNJRmKyqvFyqnf_q-ZdBzxlBmzqRuHFodySxlm6vaYgK58g7HAug5rSRUm-1kv1VFzni3glrgMeGBXxz8nZG6mL9zwuDm2c9dzylEcd8u_CDdas8/s320/September+12.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't really do circles, so i kinda ignored that bit - instead i used a square - edging with black card stock. I've used the black cardstock to edge all of my elements - this is a trend i've noticed recently and it's kinda cool! The PP i've used is some of the She Art papers (LOVE THESE!!!) plus a bit of old basic grey. I've used some ink gold to create the background behind the journaling and my embellies are a mix of Purple Pumpkin and Prima :D<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0970-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0970-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0972-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0972-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0971-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0971-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0974-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0974-1.jpg" /></a><br />
<br />
The second challenge i've completed is the Scrap Boutique stylist challenge "Use at least 5 layers of different product on a layout" I LOVE layering right now, so this seemed like a no brainer for me, but i don't really like what i ended up with. Nevermind! Move on :D<br />
<br />
The layers i used were - PP background, misting, washi tape, a journal spot (the section that says "You can never have too much happy" is from a Simple Stories 5"x7" set of journal spots - they are very cool!! You can pretty much build a page around them!!), plus lots of embellies :D<br />
<br />
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/?action=view&current=IMG_0964-1.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Photobucket" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/12x12%20Scrapbook%20Pages/IMG_0964-1.jpg" /></a><br />

Well i've had a cracker of a month in terms of entering scrapbooking challenges!!! It's great to have the chance to get out and do lots of scrapbooking outside of the house - it seems to be the only type i'm able to do these days!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Over at <a href="http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrap The Boys</a> this month the challenge was to scrap using a piece of your boy's artwork. Here's my page:</div>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've also managed Charm's sketch over at <a href="http://www.scrapbookingfromscratch.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbooking From Scratch</a>:<br />

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The beauty of having Charm on the team over at Scrapbooking From Scratch is that i can do her page and enter it twice - once at Peta's site and over on <a href="http://ourbrightstarsandus.typepad.com/" target="_blank">Charm's Creations blog</a> - if i use one of her gorgeous embellies, and to be honest i struggle to NOT use one of her gorgeous embellies right now because they are so fab - you've probably noticed them poppin up a lot on my pages lately!!!<br />
<br />
Well that's about it for the scrapbooking this month - i've just gotten some gorgeous fabrics and patterns in the last couple of days so i'm most definately sewing tonight!!! I'm going to make it a top priority to get my list of September challenges up by Friday next week, as i know lots of you do Friday night scrapping :D Have a fab weekend and a very happy father's day!!</div>

The first of probably many pages about Scarlet's first birthday. She had a 'Princess High Tea' themed party with a pink and purple princess cake plus red velvet cupcakes topped with cream disguised as little cino's for all the kids to take home with them!!! It was a really great arvo and Scarlet had a great time - and even ate a WHOLE piece of her cake!!! She sure does have a sweet tooth like her mummy - and here's a sweet page to celebrate it.<br />
<br />

<br />
Notice all of the stars on the page? The theme this month over at <a href="http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Scrap The Girls</a> is stars. When i saw this, i instantly thought i'd scrap this cake with the stars on top!!! I've used a mix of wooden stars from Studio Calico and some MM brads for the stars on this page. Other embellies are from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/My-Vintage-Blossoms/328393821606" target="_blank">My Vintage Blossoms</a> (next sale date is Thursday 30th August!!!), <a href="http://purplepumpkincrafts.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">Purple Pumpkin</a> (next sale date is Friday 31st August!), Websters Pages, Bo Bunny, Prima and of course that gorgeous chipboard title from WOW. The PP's are from a couple of Basic Grey ranges.<br />
<br />
I've decorated the stars with a mix of Inka Gold and Smooch inks, and i really love the effect :D I'm looking forward to doing a class at <a href="http://www.somewheretoscrap.com.au/" target="_blank">Somewhere to Scrap</a> later this week on Smooch inks - it will be good to formally learn how to use them and learn some new techniques. I only own 3 right now, but i suspect after that class i might have a few more....</div>

This turned out to be quite a simple page, but i quite like it! I find that with boys pages, often the more simple the better! These two are so funny together - this is my son (who will be 3 in just 3 weeks!!!) and my dad, and they call each other 'buddy' - it's so gorgeous. When they are together it's always barrels of laughs and squeals as they play together. Calvin really is the son that dad never had and he misses him really terribly, being a whole state away!!<br />
<br />
How cool is the 'corkboard' background? I just love it!! I really don't think i did it justice, but it's kinda like a different version of kraft. I'd love to try real corkboard and see what sort of effects glimmermist etc. would have on it! Has anyone ever tried it?<br />
<br />
Well that's 2 'boy' layouts from my weekend crop - next up are 2 girl layouts. Stay tuned!!</div>

I had a lovely day yesterday at one of my local scrap shops - Somewhere to Scrap over in Roachdale :D It was their monthly 'Mega Crop' - 10am until midnight and i was there for the whole thing!!! I haven't done that for well over a year - since i was pregnant with Scarlet!! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In scrapping a page i was racking my brain for ages trying to remember a saying about Dandelions and where i knew it from - and i finally figured out that it was a song from Five Iron Frenzy - check out these awesome lyrics:</div>

Believe it or not, this LO was inspired by a PageMaps sketch - but by the time i turned it and changed square elements to round, well it looks quite different!!! But i like it anyway. I've used a lovely Simple Stories base page and matching PP and some Prima bling that i've had for a little bit and knew i would use, but i was just waiting for the perfect LO to come along!!! </div>

Something i've been working away at over the past month and a bit is a mystery shall knit-a-long. It's the first mystery KAL i've done and it's been sooooo much fun!!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/?action=view&current=F6414183-5628-4012-8953-A9CEF7A4FA00-5101-00000894A4F4C16F.jpg" style="text-align: start;" target="_blank"><img alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/F6414183-5628-4012-8953-A9CEF7A4FA00-5101-00000894A4F4C16F.jpg" /></a></div>
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The way this KAL worked was that a different 'clue' was released once a week for 4 weeks - and we have until 31st August to finish and upload to be in the running for some fab prizes!! Here's how it came along for me:<br />
<br />
Clue 1 (sorry, dodgy photo...)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/?action=view&current=c41f3344.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/c41f3344.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clue 2</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/?action=view&current=00f853cf.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/00f853cf.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clue 3 (getting too big to photograph the whole thing!!!)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/?action=view&current=59903600.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/59903600.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Clue 4 (well, half of it!! I'm still working on the other half which is a wing mirrored on the first)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<a href="http://s306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/?action=view&current=49BC22D8-DA24-4F94-969A-BF506C1CDFB7-5101-000008949E47783D.jpg" target="_blank"><img alt="Uploaded from the Photobucket iPhone App" border="0" src="http://i306.photobucket.com/albums/nn269/kas85/49BC22D8-DA24-4F94-969A-BF506C1CDFB7-5101-000008949E47783D.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

It was fascinating to watch it all come along, changing and growing each week - it's definately something i'd do again! The designer for this shawl was Steven West (<a href="http://westknits.com/" target="_blank">WestKnits</a> is his brand) who is the designer of knits such as '<a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/spectra" target="_blank">Spectra</a>' - this shawl that's been on my <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/" target="_blank">ravelry</a> favourites list for some time now!!<br />

Well, i don't know how you have been, but this week i've been sick as a dog! This flu/cold that has been going around has finally got me :( The kids have had it for at least a week and now it's struck me down. I sure know i'm sick when i don't even feel like knitting while watching TV at night!!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

I've used some Pink Paisley mistabels papers as the background, with some Studio Calico mist, then added in some new Glitz designs and of course some yummy purple pumpkin (that's my handmade element, though the birdies are kinda my own as i cut them out of the Glitz design papers and altered them a bit...) The turquoise elements were a kind of afterthought - and i'm so glad i added them because i think they really set the whole page off!!</div>

Well, it's just as surprising to me as it is to you, but i have actually managed to scrap a bit lately!!<br />
<br />
Here's my entry for this month's colour challenge over at <a href="http://www.scrapbookingfromscratch.com/" target="_blank">Scrapbooking From Scratch</a> - the colour combo in the challenge was Red + Blue + Yellow + Kraft/Brown and i took this opportunity to have some fun with washi instead of PP - it's an idea i've seen a few places and have been wanting to give it a go for some time!! Plus, a washi banner never goes astray :D<br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Something i've done on this page that i don't normally do, is use the catalogue from the event - the Thomas picture! I find that these sorts of things can make pages look a bit tacky, but i quite like what i've done with this on this page! I just love the little train border punch i've used in the top left - so gorgeous!!! Plus the fabulous Tim Holtz sprockets :D<br />
<br />
There's a couple of challenges going on over at the <a href="http://www.pagemaps.blogspot.com.au/" target="_blank">PageMaps</a> blog right now too, so i thought i'd share.<br />

How did you go with the May challenges? I got very little done as i was away for 3 weeks!!! I was travelling around NSW visiting family with our little family. It was so great to get around and see everyone, but boy was it exhusting!! Lots of night driving (since it's much easier with the kids asleep!!), and my little one was just AWEFUL at nights!!! She was in our bed every night with us by 1-3ish due to her getting up so much!!! Totally exhausting. Oh well. It's very nice to be home again, and i've certainally got lots of material for scrapping!!!</div>

Have you ever done a boys LO using feminine colours or a girls LO using masculine colours? That's the challenge over at the <a href="http://mymindseye.typepad.com/" target="_blank">MME blog</a> right now!<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a LO of Scarlet that i have made using masculine MME papers:<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<br />
Blacks, greens, yellows and reds together aren't traditional for a girls LO, but i think they look alright here!! I've used a bit of netting from an orange net on this page too - it's very subtle, above the black dotted paper :D Love those doilies from Typo too - i've got these in red, blue and black - they're great aren't they!!!</div>Kylie Smithhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01971038402730964431noreply@blogger.com1
