Sweet Dreams

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

Finally! I managed to get that freebie together for you.

Although Lullabye is an older kit, I find it very easy to use, and the colours just work together so beautifully! I left lots of room for you to add more pictures, add lots of journalling...or just leave 'white' Of course if you pick the kit up, you can always add some of the fine goodies in there. I left the QP uncluttered for that purpose!

Time is running out fast for you to snag these retiring products!

Here is another look at the kit : Lullabye by Rina Kroes




and your freebie...grab it HERE





Thanks for dropping by! Have a great weekend everybody!

Wow...I wasn't home much yesterday, and never got round to showing you Gypsy Couture's new 'Starlight Dreams' mini kit. I do like the muted, grungy, dusty mauves with the olive cardstock look added...and a touch of bling...lovely!!!



I am determinedly working away at LO's for photo books....and I'm glad to add this one to the collection! Yay!






I used a template from ChrissyW's 'Mixin it Up' 12x12 set

I'm Late I'm Late....!

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

I've always had enormous sympathy with the Alice in Wonderland White Rabbit!

This week I am really late showing you Gypsy Couture's new products for this week :

These cool Research Papers

This fun and practical Fresh Bead Alpha (I seem to be attracted to bead alphas for some reason) -Oh and if the one on my LO looks different from the one on the preview, it is because the download contains two versions! Yay!-


and this Barefoot Alpha....

...and here is my LO

I also used Gypsy Couture's Page Genies 3 and the Page Set Tickle My Fancy. I used a template by Kim Wresh and the chipboard style on the frames is by Cheryl Barber.

Scrapping Heritage?

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

If you are like me : always scrapping 'old' and 'older' pictures, you would also be looking out for suitable kits. So here's a heads-up for you : Right now, Rina Kroes has several items (28 to be exact) on Close-Out in her Scrapbook-Elements store.

Go ahead and take a look at what she is retiring, including kits, frames and Quick Page Albums.

Unearthed Treasures is one set (with a couple albums) that will be gone for good. (all images are linked!)





I did this LO with one of the Album pages


And finally a freebie for you : a couple Bragbook Pages made for you, using Unearthed Treasures


Download HERE

I hope to be back soon with more previews and another freebie. Meantime you can check out Rina's specials here.

Painting Props

A treat I can indulge regularly...aren't I lucky? This was for a production of 'Beauty and the Beast' by a local Dance School. The production was fab. I did include a tiny picture bottom right of the 2 panels (book shelves for Beast's library) on stage.

I'm way behind in scrapping my 'prop painting' pictures, but when I saw this new kit by Gypsy Couture "Artist's Loft" it kinda kicked me into gear. Let's hope I can keep it up! (before the next round of painting starts LOL)

Isn't it a neat set? Look at the yummy colours against the neutrals and the texture on some of the bg papers is just too wonderful!



I used a grunge edge overlay on the background from this set by Gypsy Chick



Got more scrapping to do, catch you later!

'Screaming' for Icecream!

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

I remember it took me a little thinking, as a kid, to figure out the little rhyme 'I scream, You scream we all scream for Ice cream'....not being English speaking, well, let's just say the penny needed time to drop.
I always had a very good grip on the ice cream cone though, make NO mistake! LOL


Using Rina's Some Enchanted Evening Extras (the Cluster Frames and the Stacked Papers) I made this LO of a treat shared....Yum! Please click on the image or HERE for a full credit list and links to products!


Now I have some baking to attend to...catch you later gators!

Spending Time With Friends....


Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

...is always special, but when you get to spend time with cyber friends, it is extra special. I was blessed to have Rina and Lisa drop by for a few days in July. My only gripe was that we only had a few days....but then again, maybe we'll get to visit again next summer? One can always hope and dream, right?
I used Rina's gorgeous new products :

Check out THIS LINK to see the rest of the Some Enchanted Evening Collection (page set, albums etc)
Got more LO's to finish.....back soon!....I hope! ha!

Gypsy Couture : August Grabbag!

Pictures/previews for this page have been removed due to Designers retiring and stores closing

A super deal at $3.00!!!



and my LO

I really enjoy using Lisa's Page Genies..they are FUN...and I am partial to fresh red and green, teamed with white/off white....of which there is plenty in this Grab Bag. Lisa's ad gives you a very good idea of what you can expect...so go ahead and treat yourself, you'll be glad you did!
