Better late than never

A quick play with Jots June Mood Board. I'm a little late given that its already the end of July... but better late than never I say! I'll be sure to get the next one linked up on time!

I've got a tonne of stuff on the go... with an amazing family holiday in America and then two weeks of school holidays.. I'm feeling a little behind. But back in routine this week.. and fingers crossed I'll start to catch up again (if thats such a thing! Lol!). I'm also working on a travel journal. Something I have never done before.. but am loving it! So once thats complete... I shall share it on here! Watch this space...

Hello Jot Mood Board...its been awhile..

I've been busy getting stuck into my Project Life (check out my instagram  for regular updates)..and being on the Becky Higgins design team, which I'm loving, I've been focusing on using just her products. But, after a 'Creative Retreat', thanks to Zoe Pearn from Cocoa Vanilla Studio, I've dug out all my other amazing scrapping goods!!! So I thought it'd be fit to use some Cocoa Vanilla goodies and do the most recent Jot Mood Board. And am going to try and make this a monthly challenge again, as I really do love their mood boards!

Becky Higgins Project Life Creative Team 2018

Best ever way to start 2018- becoming a member on Becky Higgins Project Life Creative Team. Truly a dream come true. I got the congratulations email late one night, and when I woke in the morning I had to check my emails again to make sure I hadn't dreamt it... and surely enough, there it was, the email titled 'time to do that happy dance'.

This week the first blog post with inspiration from myself and all the other super talented members was posted..pop along and check it out. Exciting!!! And keep an eye on the months to come too... I know there'll be a lot of fab work showcased. I can't wait for the new products to be released... they all look very fun. Lots of goodies to play with thats for sure! Until then... a couple of recent pages I've done using Project Life goodies!

Oh, Hello!

My goodness....I can't believe I haven't posted since the end of June!! I have been scrapping, but not as much as I'd like.. however, my baby baby just turned 3 so has started 2 full days of preschool... hooray!! So I took the opportunity on Monday when miss 3 and miss 4.5 were both at preschool to spend some time in 'my' room. I turned to the trusty Jot Moodboard for inspo for my first page... ended up with 3 PL pages completed..and the best thing.. they kind of all fit the moodboard in someway.

Stay posted...next week I plan to do a lot more... I have so many amazing goodies from the new Cocoa Vanilla range that I can't wait to use!

Gold Goodness

I <3 Gold.... Gold embellies are the best... So thank you Jot for a GOLD moodboard this month. I also took this opportunity to use this months sketch along at Sketches in Thyme, PL style.. enjoy!

based on this sketch...

What photo to use...

My little miss 4 just LOVES the camera...any opportunity to strike a pose, she'll take it. My problem with this, is I never know what photo to use.. so for this spread, I used them all!! <3

New House, New Scrap space, Time to get busy...

Its amazing how much effort goes in to packing and shifting house.. it's one of those things that you don't want to rush into again quickly.. and add 2 toddlers and a dog to the mix just adds to the fun.. lol. BUT, we're in, and we love our new home and in particular I LOVE my new scrap space. Lots of amazing drawers from ikea has meant everything is now tidy and easy to find! Can't wait to get stuck into this years PL..and finish off last years too. Time to get busy... so thanks to Jot's monthly moodboard, I kick started my 'playtime' with this little page..

All sorts of love..

Pinks, red and white...coupled with the cutest garden fairy is a recipe for LOVE! Another loveable mood board by Jot ;-)

Also, stay posted for the upcoming sketch revealed on the 23rd of this month (22nd for our North American friends) along at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style.

First Moodboard of the year!!

I LOVE Jot's moodboards and try and play along every month...I missed a beautiful one last month..but will be doing my best not to miss any in 2017..so here's the first.. Thanks Jot! Always love playing along xx

Project Life Sketch Challenge

Hello 2017...and goodbye to the first month of it. Where did it go!?! Got A LOT of scrapping to catch up on, including finishing my December Daily. A lot of fun hours ahead ;-) But for now, this week's sketch from Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style....

Sketch of the Week.....

Zesty moodboard from Jot

It FINALLY feels like summer is on its way... we had a gorgeous spring day so we took the girls down to a local beach. Bliss. And the colours in Jot's zesty moodboard this month were just perfect for these photos! <3 <3

New Sketch for Sketches in Thyme PL Style

I'm really loving the new 'Love Always' range from Cocoa Vanilla Studio....And because I only do Project Life these days..I find that papers last me longer... a 3x4 piece here and there, a 4x6 in another place...really makes the paper go the distance. Perfect! This page below I have put together for the new sketch up at Sketches in Thyme Project Life Style. Pop over and see what the other Mavens have done with this sketch too! xx

                                                                                                                                                                              

                    

New Love for simple pages

My mum and I did a HUGE order of scrapbook goodies from America and amongst those goodies I got a Becky Higgins Project Life kit, Modern Edition. OMgoodness.. WOW! Amazing cards, and so versatile. Heres two pages I whipped up in a matter of minutes..sometimes I get too wrapped up in a world of embellishments (slight addiction of mine!)..but I actually really like these pages. Some simple, so fast, and so pretty! I'm now on a mission to catch up on my PL... and I think this is the perfect solution <3 <3

In LOVE with these colours....thanks JOT!!

IN LOVE..... totally in love with Jot's MB this month. I think I could do an entire album based on these colours. No exaggeration! Lol.. But to get started.. here's a page I've just finished..

And the amazing moodboard that inspired me....

Sketches In Thyme PL Style

A couple of days late getting this post up (we've had a long weekend down under here in NZ...and had beautiful sunshine so made the most of being outside!).. there's still a couple of days left to play along at Sketches in Thyme PL style.. my take on this weeks sketch.....

(P.S. The paper and embellies are from Cocoa Vanillas new range 'Make a Wish'...devine collection!!!)

Inspired by this sketch.....

August Mood Board by Jot!

<3 <3 <3...photos of my babe in her little grey dress was a perfect match for playing along with Jot's mood board. And my mum (Nana) even colour-coordinated her top..how very kind ;-)
Awesome mood board challenge, thank you Jot girls!! x

Further inspired by Scrap the Girls

I really love working with blues...but don't do it often..the result of having two very 'pink' girls. So here's another page I did inspired by this months moodboard at Scrap the Girls.

Scrap the Girls

Love this challenge blog.. Scrap the Girls..love that they alternate between sketches and moodboards! While moodboards suit me somewhat better being a PL'er...I occasionally try a sketch. This month though...a devine moodboard!! Thanks for the inspo Scrap the Girls!! xx
