Give a Girl a.. Guest Designer

The super awesome Kellie over at Give a Girl a blog has asked me to stay on as Guest designer for April! How can you say no to that!!!

So today I'm sharing some mini layouts I whipped up of my little furry friends to showcase the 'My Buddy' set. This set is available now over in Kellie's shop

As you can see these stamps are fantastic for dog and cat lovers, but there are a couple that are versatile enough to use for non animal scrapping.

First layout I'm sharing with you is a photo of our furry little man. He's so cute, and so much fun! And will always pose for a photo or 10!

Ive used the 'You had me at Woof', 'Dogs rule' and 'My buddy' stamps. I stamped them onto individual scraps I had from a PL layout and adhered in layers with foam tape and normal adhesive tape. Ive also inked around the edges of the scraps and the entire layout, but its hard to see with the background its laying on.

The second layout is a photo of Leila being destructive and trying to blame a sleeping Bella. Bella is a very happy dog who doesn't seem to stay still, so its quite hard to catch her for photos unless she is sleeping!

Again I have stamped 'I didn't do it' and 'It was the dog' onto scraps and stuck that on top of glitter tape with some foam tape. I also gave the red paper a distressed look with a pair of blunt fabric scissors. This layout  shows that you can use the stamps for general use with children and animals hehe.

Absolutely Love Kellies stamps! And I have more to share over the next couple of weeks!!

All papers used were from a soon to be released kit over at A Piece of Cake Designs 

Project Life WEEK 10

FINALLY I am getting somewhere with catching up!
I know I haven't shown my week 9 layout yet, but thats because I just can't get it finished lol Nothing is working for me in that week. So I moved onto week 10 and voila.......

(Excuse the glare on the Page protectors, wasn't the best light today)

For this week I have used the contents of the February Card Kit from Studio Calico. Love the colour palette! Had to add a few of my own embellishments as there isn't many in the kit. My journalling for the week is inside the envelope on the date card. Not a lot to say about the weeks events as we didn't get up to much - This was the week after the Melbourne Scrapbook Expo, where I helped out Craft House in showing off Project Life to thousands of new scrappers. The first few days after were pretty quiet but also quite hot in temperature! Start of more than a week of over 30degree days TOO HOT for me!! We enjoyed a few nights outside eating our dinner and playing with the dogs. And celebrated my Nanna's 80th Birthday on the Labour Day weekend.

 (again apologies for glare)
I have used a Design E page protector for this side of the layout and a Design C (available late april/may) for the right hand side. The YOU HAD ME AT "Woof" stamp is part of the 'My Buddy' April set release over at Give a Girl a.. This set is perfect for Cat & Dog owners!! I can't wait to get more use out of it. The Cherry Flairs are all from different sets available at A Piece of Cake designs. LOVE them!

I scrunched up some Vellum to use underneath the photo of my Nanna's cake for a different element to the page.

Other products used in this layout are Scrabble letter thickers from American Crafts, SMASH tape, wood veneer from Studio Calico and Freckled fawn, doilies from my stash and mini blue alpha's from the Feb SC Project Life Kit. I have also used stamps from the Endless Summer set by Give a Girl a

So thats my week 10.. I have photos printed for the next few weeks after that, now to find time to get them done!


Project Life is a concept designed by Becky Higgins. It is a range that works anyway you want it to. You don't have to embellish your layouts or use any extra products like I do. You can easily record an album full of memories with just a Core Kit, bulk pack of page protectors and a 12x12 Album. I purchase all my core products from Craft House - Exclusive stockist for Australia and New Zealand. 

Project Life Week 7

3 posts in one week .. On.A.Roll!!

Today I'm sharing my week 7 layout. Loving the way this years weeks are coming together.

This week I used a second design F page protector from the Becky Higgins PL range. I had a lot of photos to use this week (all mainly of Leila) so I found this was the best way to show them off. I filled the pockets up with a mix of journalling and filler cards from the Seafoam core kit, plus papers from the 12x12 pack. You can see I have used more of Kellie's awesome stamps from the March Best friends set (which is now available for pre order HERE) and a few from the Keen as Mustard set from this months release (also available for pre order HERE as it was so popular Kellie has ordered more)

 The Left side: Ive added in a few random things from my stash - AC glitter tape, Paisley press heart sprayed with Color shine, Heidi swap hear stickers, Freckled Fawn speech bubbles and arrows, letter stickers and heart ribbon from Typo, sn@p letter stickers, Maggie Holmes thickers, My Minds Eye word stickers and a polaroid frame from Studio Calico.

GIVE A GIRL A STAMPS used on this side are
Love You, Forever, LOL and You're a dag from the March 'Best Friends' release
Insta moment and Photo op from the Feb 'Keen as Mustard' release.

The Right side: Products used on this side are pretty much the same as the left side plus a yellow ribbon, cherry flair from A Piece of Cake Designs and 'smile' washi tape from KI Memories.
