November Color Spot!

Wow! Can't believe it is November already. Here in Fredericton we are experiencing our first bout of snow. I've got mixed feelings with its arrival. We have some warm colours to inspire you this week so if you are stuck indoors we hope you join in the challenge! :)

Here is my take on the pretty colours.

And here is April's!

Thanks having a look at our work!

Our First Card Sketch!

Hey everyone.  April here to share a card sketch with you featuring a really cool technique for making flowers.  Here is my card sketch:

And here is my finished card:

To make the rolled flowers I used a strip of fabric that I had leftover from a t-shirt I hemmed and a Gluber, although any adhesive would work.  I tied one end of the fabric into a knot and pressed it down into the glue and then working in a circle I kept twisting my fabric and laying it down on the glue in a tight spiral until I had the desired size I wanted. I cut off the excess fabric and voila, a cute little fabric flower. 

Have a great week.  Happy scrapping.

Sketch!

hi All! Here is your latest sketch for inspiration!

This is my favorite time of year to be scrapbooking. Something about the Fall weather that always gets my creative juices flowing! Not to mention, the great crop at GHL in a few weeks. One of my favorite weekends of the year!

 

We also want to welcome April in to help us out here. I am sure you will find her most inspiring!

Disney Inspiration!

Welcome back scrappy friends! It's Kelsey here to share some color inspiration! I had fun scanning through Pinterest and found great color combination! This week I chose 'Cinderella Castle' colors!

So I focused on the pretty blues an yellows and also went with the Princess theme!

And great minds think alike! Vicki did a pocket page too!

Hope you all get to spend some time creating with us! We love seeing your feedback and creations!

Enjoy your week and keep on scrapping!

Inspiration for you!

What a beautiful Sunday this day turned out to be! As the fall approaches and the kidlets all go back to school, I am inspired by my other favorite pastime, reading. I can find myself with my nose in a good book any day.

Here are some great art (pinterest) that reflect what readers love about hiding in a hole and not coming out until that amazing book is finished!

Here is Kelsey's LO - so cute

Here is a LO that I did for a sketch a few weeks back, fits great with this theme!

ENJOY!

New Brunswick Day Sketch!

hi All! We are a little late this week. This is only because there is so many exciting things going on in my home life. We are in midst of packing up for my big trip to England this week!! I was hoping to get into the scrappy spirit this week, but it just didn't happen. Kelsey, thankfully, was right on the ball!

Here we go!

As I said, there will be no post next week as I will be roaming the streets of London! So take the time and play along with us!!

Happy Father's Day Inspiration!

On this day that we celebrate our fathers, grandfather, fathers of our children, husbands, and other special men in our lives, we want to take the time to remember to take some time and remember the simple things in life that bring us joy. Time to slow down and look at the small moments that make life worth living every day.

This is your inspiration this week :)

Kelsey took the quote and added it to her LO as the title, which is great for this picture of a small moment that means so much

I also took the idea of simple moments and used this snap of my pup. I was also drawn to the script in the quote.

Take some time this week to play with us. As always, you have until the end of the month to qualify for a gift certificate from APOS.

We will announce the winner on the 15th of the following month. May's winner is...... DANA! There is $10 GC at the store for you! Congrats!

Sketchy Sunday - Triangle Edition!

On this beautiful Sunday here in New Brunswick, I am pleased to present to you with this week's Sketchy Sunday. This week, we are focusing on another big geometric shape in scrapbooking, Triangles! These are great for boys and girls and are a great way to get lots of pattern on your layout without using a ton of patterned paper. A great way to make your PP stash stretch really far.

 

Kelsey!
