It's been a few weeks...

Since I last posted on my poor neglected blog, so I thought it was about time for a catch up!

I always find that the weeks over the summer just fly by...every weekend at the moment just seems jam packed!

Scrapping update: I'm staying on for another term at Twisted Sketches, there a several new girls too, you can see the announcement here!

It's my last month on the Butterfly Crafts blog and the August Challenge is up..I'd like to say thank you to Karen for having me on your team for the last 6 months, I've really enjoyed the challenges! Here is my last layout, this month we were working from a sketch....

Now for a non-scrapping update, We've had a busy few weeks and the calendar isn't looking any different for the next few weeks either! We have celebrated Jack's 3rd birthday, followed by a week off, spending lots of days all together...here he is at his party...

We've also celebrated a family wedding, my boys looking very handsome on the day...


Today we are celebrating our nephews birthday with a party later! Although it's been busy, I've still had some scrapping time and gone to a couple of crop days, so more to share with you soon. I have a few layouts ready for photographing, just need it to stop raining here!!!

Have a lovely weekend whatever your doing!

Butterfly Crafts June Challenge

The Butterfly Crafts June Challenge is now up on the blog here...

Have a look to check out the rest of the DT's work...this month's challenge is a sketch.

Regular readers may know that I do an album per year of day to day celebrations, events and days out etc documenting the year. Until this year I had done a layout for every month of the year with a few little pictures and journalling. Well I was getting a bit bored of that so for this year I decided to do a Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter Layout instead.

So I used this month's sketch challenge to create my first 'Spring' layout!

Supplies:

October Afternoon - 5 and Dime Papers

October Afternoon - 5 and Dime sticker sheet

American Crafts - Thickers

Brown Ink pad

3-D foam pads

Butterfly Crafts May Challenge...

A little bit late...but better than never! Here is my DT layout for this month's butterfly crafts challenge...
This month the challenge is to scrap using an ad as inspiration..you can see the ad and the rest of the DT's fab work HERE!

I photographed this layout before adding my journalling, which is now in strips in the gap in between the two photos and the embellishments...I'm really bad at missing out journalling..really must get better!!

Before my holiday I was lucky enough to win a giveway on Wendy's Blog, I used some of the lovely bits that I recieved on this layout including the homemade star toothpicks...how cute are they? There was also some butterfly ones...which I will be using soon too!

Thanks for looking!!

Butterfly Crafts April Challenge

Its that time of the month again...the Butterfly Crafts DT projects are now live on the blog, you can see them all here!

This months challenge was to use a combination of the colours, pink, blue and yellow.

I found that the Girls Paperie line 'Jubilee' went perfectly with this colour combo!

I made some windmills, to feature on this layout along with some punched flowers!

If you would like to take part in the challenge too, then all you have to do is create your layout using the colour combo and leave us a link! You could win the chance to be June's guest designer!

Thanks for looking!
