Scrap that Poetry!

2 posts in one day! Shows I'm making up for lost time and catching up with my DT posting for Scrap that poetry! We have a fab poem this fortnight. Its A prayer for a great family. Its so beautiful how it says a big thank you to Mother Earth for all the beautiful creations around us. I took my inspiration from the "clouds, lakes, rivers" part of the poem. The photo was taken in Italy a few years ago at Lake Maggiore. I visited 4 of the lakes and they were just stunning! Not bad for a work training trip. Click here for the poem and to see how the DT have interpreted it. I hope you join in and show us how you thank Mother Earth!

Its a round up!

Our scrapwhispers challenge this week is to create a summery page. Could be whats happened in your week, your year, your birthday cakes, christmas', the pets you've had, houses you've lived in... so you get it right? That should be enough inspiration for you, LOL. I chose to round up photos of DD from baby to 4 years, but can you spot the error? Yep I missed a year. I told you me and math were not friends!! :) The papers, element stickers and alphas are from Echo Park, Life is good collection. Once you've done your entry don't forget to link it up on the scrapwhispers main page (top right corner - November entries) to be in with your chance to win some gorgeous papers and 2 magnolia stamps!! Enjoy!!

Scrapwhispers november blog hop

Hello! Well, first an apology to those of you trying to find the blog hop post. I actually wrote all this out for the blog hop (a day late I must add) and ditsy ole me must have forgotten to press the publish key as I've just had a look and seen its not on the blog!!! Aarrrgggggghhh! All I can say I've had a horrible week with 2 children with a sickness bug and teething thrown in as well. Right, Onto the blog hop! Our lovely Georgina has shown us how to create this lovely tri-shutter card. I have to say, when I first saw it I thought it would be really complicated, but its turned out to be really easy and simple. I've used papers from Basic Grey wassail and I just love this stamp of snowman soup!! Here is your hop list:

ABC...It's easy as 1,2,3

Scrap it with a song's song this week is the Jackson 5's ABC. My layout is about me going back to school to do GCSE Maths. I don't know why I thought it would be easier the second time round as me and numbers are just not friends, but my kids are my inspiration. I just want to be able to help them with their homework.

Post it holders

Just a little project to share with you today. I'm getting ahead with making teacher gifts and I've decided to make some post it note holders to put in a gift bag as part of a teacher supply kit. You can find tutorials for this project all over the www. The ones I have made have a little slot for a pen (which I have bought and put somewhere nice and safe :P) The images I've used on these are from a digi stamp kit from Claudia and company, designed by Lori Boyd. They are just so adorable and are so much fun to colour. On the above one I coloured the black board in with cool Grey 4 promarker, went over it a few times to get it darker and then wrote on it with a white sukura pen These really are so much fun to make and are great for secret santa's or stocking fillers... and when you start you won't want to stop!

Elizabeth Bell's world

I've come across a fab new challenge blog for Elizabeth Bell's design's. I LOVE her work so it would be rude not to join in wouldn't it? The challenge was to create a 3x3 notelet box or tote using a tutorial from SCS. I chose to do the box. I haven't filled it yet because I can't decide what to put in it. I used an image from last years whiff of joy christmas collection. Decorated using the last of my BG wisteria paper and added some knicker lace! If you loven all things Elizabeth Bell then click here to check out the challenge. Thanks for stopping by!
