Issue 4 of Jot Magazine is now out.
It is jam packed with amazing creations and inspiring words.
I have a few pages within the magazine.
This page was created for the Summer theme.
It’s on page 119 of the magazine
The photo even makes an appearance on the last page of the magazine too!
Love how the Chic Tags pattern paper fits this page perfectly!
Make sure you have a read through the magazine.
It’s free and available to read online.
Almost half way through the first week of the school holidays.
We’ve been enjoying the lack of schedule.
The girls have been reacquainting themselves with the trampoline, library books and hanging out.
It’s been good to watch.
The other day I posted my post on the D-lish Scraps blog, you can it read HERE
I had fun playing with some gorgeous goodies
add a heart button and a whole lot of Chic Tags
And the thoughts in my head were now on a page
I also made a monochrome page
Using a paperclip freebie (from Scrapbooking Memories Magazine) that I’ve had a while
using washi tape to alter some alphas I’ve had a while
and documented another moment in time.
Although I got it wrong…
It was Anti-Bully Day not Harmony Day.
Doh!
Never mind, she knew what I meant!
Back in January I had a lovely email in my inbox.
It was from Cassie at Scrapbooking Memories Magazine
She asked if I would like to use a sketch to create a layout and a card
For the July edition of the magazine (Volume 14 No. 10)
I said yes and got to work to create this page
I’ve used some Chic Tags flair
The backing from some Sassafras Lass alpha stickers
A tea bag label, for the touch of green
I cut out an Elle’s Studio die cut
Stamped on a Cocoa Daisy chevron stamp on the edge
and used a glassine bag, from a Cocoa Daisy kit, to type my journaling on
The journaling reads:
“I have loved that we have been able to have lots of “down time” these school holidays.
Filling our day with whatever may come along. No plans.
We have been able to spend days together appreciating the time before the busy year starts up again.
I love that you are all happy to hang out together.
Playing, reading, creating home movies, splashing in the pool or just playing on the Wii.
I hope you always find time to be together.
I think amazing things can happen, when you four hang out.”
I also used the sketch to create this card
Some washi tape from Typo and the “You are lovely” stamp is from Kikki-k
So did you go here??
If you did then you will have seen this
and a little blog post I had the pleasure of sharing
If you didn’t
or
didn’t want to
don’t fret
I still have some close ups to share with you
I made the page using bits from Cocoa Daisy kits as well as my stash
Love that Jillibean Soup paper and that Basic Grey paper (the flowery one) is another yummy favourite!
and love the Ormolu button, Chic tags tag and the glassine bag from The Greatest View
and because I love that you are here
reading my lil’ ol’ blog
here is something I didn’t share over there
the journaling
Back later with the “something else” that made me smile yesterday
Last weekend was the birthday of a very special chicky
and I felt very blessed to be able to spend some time with her
celebrating her day
I made a little page to remember the day
and I made a little video about my little page
There should be music that goes with it
but youtube was playing up so the video may be silent
Or if you’d rather just see some close ups
here they are
that’s a Chic Tags file tab
and some Greatest View badge, stick pin and a fabric flower
Add some D-lish scraps resin flowers, a Prima nest (which I bought because it was gorgeous)
and the journaling
Yep, one special day
Documented, tick!
Mixing up the old with the new again
Pulled out some papers and embellishments that were wandering to the bottom of the pile
Things that were being neglected and needed to shine
A little Ormolu flair
With an old button
This Kitty Robot robot I have had since…?
A new Chic Tags date tag mixed with a little Studio Calico wood veneer
Throw in a new Ormolu flair with a gorgeous Greatest View chevron badge
Some D-lish scraps resin flowers
and some older die cuts from Jillibean soup
Job done!
Story told!
Love it!
Life is getting back to normal
today I helped out in the school canteen (big day again tomorrow)
picked up the groceries
Hang the washing
Folded 2 loads of washing
School drop offs and pickups
Life is getting back to normal
I scrapped this page today
Using the Chevron Crafters Workshop stencil again
This time with a “Red Pepper” Adirondack Paint Dabber
some buttons from Chic Tags
some buttons from Such Sweet Tierney
and a couple from Prima
all helped to tell the story
Life is getting back to “normal”
