12x12 Layout Share Friday - #1 - 'Together We're Better'

So I back with another 12x12 layout share for this week.

Since the last time I did these posts I had Project Life share on Fridays but I have changed it to Thursday so I can do two 12x12 layout shares a week

So today I am sharing a layout called 'Together We're Better".
This layout is using a photo from my school camp and the title came from our school camp motto.

For this layout I mainly used Shimelles - "True Stories" collection, but added a few other bits and pieces.

I used a verity of alphas for the title and I love how it turned out.
 

And I used gold thread for the first time on this layout and loved how it finished the layout.

I hope you have a great end to your week and enjoy the weekend.

12x12 Layout Share Monday - #4 - 'Life Is Good'

Good morning beautiful people. I am back with my weekly schedule, did you know I haven't done this I since July? (YES July!!) so today I am sharing a 12x12 layout I did a while back.

This layout is called "Life Is Good" -
I really love how this layout turned out. I used a older photo and it was my first layouts using the beautiful Heidi Swapp Wonderlust collection.

I loved using these Heidi Swapp stickers that I received in the mail with my Jot Memory dex card.

Love these puffy stickers from one of Heidi Swapp's older collections called "Favourite Things".

I don't normally journal in my 12x12 layouts but lately I have really enjoyed it and I think it finishes the layouts.

So I hope you enjoyed looking at this layout and I will be back on Thursday with a Project Life Layout share and then again on Friday with another 12x12 layout share.

Enjoy your week.

Exciting, Exciting - Studio Fourteen 40

Morning all.....

I am excited (you can tell I'm excited right) to announce that I am going to be Guest Designing over at Studio Fourteen 40.

Let me tell you all about the wonderful Studio Fourteen 40 store.

Studio 1440 is a small online Melbourne based store. (You can check out the store here.)  Sandra the beautiful owner of this store launched it to grow her love of scrapbooking and to make her mark in the industry. The store is a wonderful shop to buy your tin buttons flairs, stickers, embellishments and more.

Issue 11 Jot Magazine Feature

Morning beautiful blog readers. Today I am going to share something exciting that some of you may have read in one of my last blog posts, about having one of my layouts in Issue 11 of the Jot Magazine.

When I sent in some of my Project Life layouts I didn't at all expect to be chosen to be featured, I was beyond excited when I got a email from Kim Archer asking if she could use it.

You can find my layout on page 186.

 
Make sure you check out this fun filled and inspiring Scrapbooking Magazine here.
I will be back soon with a full blog post will close up photos of this layout.

Have a great day.

Meeting Renae

Hey, hey everyone, I am back to share some exciting stuff that I did on Thursday 24th of September.

So... We travelled to the Gold Coast here in Queensland (which is 1 1/2 - 2 hours away) to pick up some paddle boards. And while we were there I wanted to duck into the Spotlight store at Ashmore and to see if Nae was working. Well I surprised my beautiful online Scrap Sister as she was walking out of work.

It was so exciting to finally meet the beautiful Renae who is one of the owners of the awesome The Scrappery Kit Club and is also heynaedaily on Youtube. (Make sure you check her awesome creative videos out)

And of course we had to get a photo of both of us together to put into our Project Life albums.

 

 

While I was in this AWESOME Spotlight that is the best and hugest one I have ever been into. I had to get some bargains with my birthday money.

 

 

 

I got the beautiful Heidi Swapp September Skies Project Life Core Kit, some Amy Tangerine Stitched Puffy Stickers and Wood Veneer Frames, We Are Memory Keepers 4x4 Page Protectors and one of the new Heidi Swapp Project Life 4x4 Cards from the Prismatic collection.

 

I will be back soon with my Week 38 Project Life spread using some of these goodies.

 

Have a great day.

Jot Magazine - September Mood Board

Good afternoon everyone. I hope you are all having a great weekend. Rrrr! I am feeling a little frustrated as I haven't been able to keep up with my Blog - Tember posts, but I am going to get them all done even if they go through October. I also really want together back into my habit of Project Life Friday shares and Traditional scrapbook page shares as well.

But today I wanted to check in and share my layout for the Jot Magazine September Mood Board. 

I really love how it came together. This layout was actually my first using the Shimelle True stories collection (well just paper pad).

You also have until the 30th of September to enter to win a awesome prize from Elle's Studio.

So here is my layout.

 

Can't wait to see what next months mood board is. 

Make sure you check out the latest Issue of Jot Magazine here. You may even find a layout of mine in it. I will definitely do a post this week hopefully of that layout.

Have a great Sunday/Saturday.
