Woo Hoo ! New post!!

I keep getting depressed everytime I log in to view my blogs and see Chloe's furry face staring at me, so I thought I'd do a post about some layouts I have finally gotten around to photographing!

"You are so sweet"

Using one of my all times fave's .....October Afternoon! And some really cute resin roses I got from here.

"Growing up"

"He has her Heart"

I have finally discovered Gesso!!! It's my new best friend ! I love the texture it gives!!!!  Love the Prima PP and the cute Prima birdhouse! The little leaf branches and butterflies are from a friend of mines business called Make it Crafty and she has awesome bits of laser cut chipboard. Check it out!

Anyway that will do for now.....hopefully get to do some more scrapping on the weekend!

Take care!

RIP Chloe xx

Thought I would do a special separate post about our beloved poodle Chloe who passed away on the 17th of February after being hit by a car. She was 5 and a half and I wasn't ready to lose another dog yet! I miss her so much xxxx

Bye Bye Chlo-bo xxxx

I'm BACK!!!!

Well that's been a long time in between posts hasn't it? Trying to get back to a normal sort of routine now that we are in February...... I haven't really scrapped much this year yet but I have a few layouts that I have finally gotten around to photographing and editing that I did in the last quarter of 2011....

This one is a lifty from the Fab Julie Winks.....I loved how she did her peek-a-boo layouts and had been wanting to try one for ages.
Here is my attempt!

"Hello Chicken"

 Close up of the cluster and that cheeky adorable face of Ella's!

 This next one is one I did for a guest designing spot at Just Scrapbooking. I got given a couple of kits and did loads of layouts with them. I still have to photograph a few more yet.

"Brown Eyed Girls"



 "Fairy Friends"

Close up of the cute little tea set that I chose to leave raw and just ink. I think all these papers are Basic Grey.

"Daddy's Girl"

Close up of details.....

So I hope that someone still reads my little old blog !!!

I promise I will be back soonish with some more layouts photographed and maybe a snapshot of the last few months in pics.

Enjoy!

Love Elise x

 "Hanging Rock"

My last Scrapboxx newsletter

I made the very painful decision to step down from my position as design team member from my favourite scrapbooking site Scrapboxx this month. I just felt with me now working I wasn't putting my all into what I thought I should be doing and have hardly scrapped since starting work! So sadly this was my last contrbution to the August newsletter which you can read here.....

The theme for the DT this month was something to do with Spring, so I found this old photo of me in my Nan's garden.

"Admiring Nana's camellia's"

Sadly no other layouts for me although I have had one on my desk for a few weeks now waiting to be finished. Should go and do it now but think I'm going to head to bed....went out to thr RSL last night to see a Bon Jovi tribute band (they were actually pretty good!)

Anyway

See ya!

A scrap whisper long overdue....and my final Stuck Sketch :(

Well once upon a time there was a scrap whisper and here is my take on it ........

 Sorry I'm a bit late with the blog hop but you can head over to LJ's blog here to check out what she did with the whisper.....

Also this is my final sketch from Stuck?! Sketches, I didn't re-apply as I just don't have time to commit to a lot these days with me working now....
Here is the gorgeous sketch (right up my alley!)

 And my take on it......

"Our new baby girl"

Thanks for popping by and I hope you liked my layouts..... E x

Pretty quiet here....

Sorry I have been MIA for a while on the blogging front....for a few reasons, one of which I've been on my iPad a lot and it doesn't have any of my scrap pics on there to upload, 2, By the time I get my jobs done at night ie @ 9.30ish I'm pretty stuffed.....!

I have forgotten to upload my sketch for July 15th sketch over at Stuck?! Sketches so here it is before the next one is up LOL!

"Farm Animals"

Using some gorgeous October Afternoon papers that fitted this photo perfectly! and of course some closies....

Be back soon with the new Boxx newsletter layouts and another Stuck?! Sketches sketch!

Have a great week....
