thankful for you

Hello to you all!!  After a fun filled time last weekend at the Handmade by Suzanne retreat and a few days to recover, I have a LO to share.  This one is for Once Upon a .... Sketch.  Nadia always provides wonderful sketches and themes to work with.  For May it was all about being a mum ☺
Here's what I've come up with:

 This photo is of me with my four boys, taken by my husband last year.  I think I have scrapped it before .... but I really love this one ♥
I've used papers from My Minds Eye and Bo Bunny.
Here are close-up's of the details:
 ... my journalling ... chipboard word and some little letters from Kaisercraft ...
 ... a cluster of blooms - Kaisercraft, Manorhouse creations, cabachons and one of my birdie buttons ...  have layered these flowers onto a Kaisercraft wooden flourish - this one being a doily pattern - I've given it a light coat of white paint...
 ... a bunting using MME chipboard elements along with a white tag...

and here is the fabulous sketch - pop over the the blog to see all the details - not long to go before this one ends ☺
Going back to the retreat - it was a fantastic time, even with the lack of sleep ☺  Suzanne had her whole shop set up so we could shop as we pleased.  I've come home with quite a few new goodies and papers which I'm finding a home for, in my craft room.  I got nearly nine LO's completed, so hopefully I can share a few more with you soon.  A few more days and we have a new month upon us already.  I'm looking forward to sharing some scrappy news with you all.  Til then, happy scrapping!!

lo's from retreat...

As promised, I have a few LO's to share from the recent Scrap Retreat that I went to!!  They all use pictures from our Ningaloo holiday.

 ... Bo Bunny papers, Dusty Attic chipboard, Cheery Lynn doily die - French Pastry and the CW template - Cherry Blossom (which I just love using)...




 ... more from the CW template - have used paints and mist, also Tim Holtz mini paper rosette die...


 ... my favourite LO of the whole weekend - I created this for a sketch challenge and ended up winning a $50.00 voucher from HBS.  What a wonderful surprise that was!!
... Prima flowers, doilies and a bunting... lots of my favs at the moment.

















Well I don't normally show three LO's in one post, but I found these LO's are all really similar in style and very reflective of what I love about scrapbooking at the moment.  So it made sense to show them all!!
Thanks for coming by!
