Scrap-n-Crop's May Kit Reveal

Been out for the day today (public holiday here), so a bit late in posting this sorry. The May kit for Scrap-n-Crop's kit club has some lovely pinks & greens in it. I managed to make 5 LO's, the covers of a mini album (chipboard covers were included in the kit), 2 cards and 6 vouchers. You can purchase the kit here. And don't forget to check out Scrap-n-Crop's gallery to see what Sharmaine has made as well. I have included descriptions with my creations in the gallery as to what was from the kit and from my stash if you are interested.

LO - A wet slobbery kiss :-)
If you are wanting a glimmer mist that matches this kit really nicely - Tattered Angels Cherub Pink & Tattered Rose are both perfect! I used cherub pink on the edges on the patterned paper for this LO.

LO - Maddison
Managed to use the sewing machine semi okay here to sew that scrunched bit of fabric LOL

LO - Big Cuddles

Made the flower using ribbon from the kit, then punched out a piece of patterned paper and put glossy accents on it for the centre of the flower.

LO - How to drink hot chocolate

This little cutie belongs to one of my friends in NZ. :-) I did ask if I could scrap and blog pics of her daughter and she said yes, but she didn't see me take these photos heheheee. Too cute.

LO - Sweet Pea

Not a great photo of Maddison as it has a big sun spot over her face, but I wanted to scrap it anyway. And the sewing machine! grrr I got very cross with it on this LO, but the day after I had finished it and was telling Lyndon the problems I'd had, he said the needle wasn't in properly (pushed up too far)! I had replaced the needle because I noticed it was bent (not sure if that was me or one of the kids LOL). So ... need to try and see if I can adjust the needle and then do some practice runs!!!

Mini Album

This is for when we go back to NZ for our holiday. We've got quite a few birthdays to celebrate during the time we are there, so thought I would record them in this. That owl is pretty cool aye.

The inside pages aren't from the kit, but I had these in my stash so popped them in and I will add other pages in when I get round to filling it with photos!

Card - Hi

Using my up scraps of paper - can't throw them away you know!

Card - Happy Birthday

Vouchers - you have seen some of these already - here's the 6 and no you can't see the backs of them other than the baking one ;-) (some things will remain 'unpublished' lol)

Thanks for looking.

Last Sneaks

The May kit for Scrap-n-Crop goes on sale tomorrow - here's my last sneaky peeks. I still have a few things left to do, but hopefully they will get done. What I really need is for it to stop raining so I can take what I have made so far outside to photograph them!
.
Here's a couple of peeks at my 4th LO from the kit (don't look too closely at the sewing! The sewing machine won this round in our on-going battle!!).

And a card.

Thanks for looking.

2 Weeks Tomorrow ...

I can't believe that it's only 2 weeks tomorrow and Rachel Greig will be here for Scrap-n-Crop's Art Retreat!!! So I am blogging again to get myself another entry into the draw to win a 1-day pass hehehee.

.

It's going to be fantastic :-) I really enjoyed going to Creative Escape in Singapore, but this is going to be better because it's 2 full days :-) (and I get to sleep in my own bed at night LOL).
.
So have your booked your place yet? You totally should :-) I see Val has listed individual classes, so if you can't come for both days, or one full day, see if you can come to at least one class. Check it out here.

Sneak Peak

Another sneak peek from Scrap-n-Crop's May kit. This is a little mini album. Check out SnC's gallery as well and you can see some sneaks from Sharmaine .

Bigger post tomorrow (maybe!) I am running out of time ... help! Still have a few things to do for this kit, nothing like leaving it to the last minute I tell you!! It's taken me probably about 2 hours this afternoon to finally decide on a photo to use for my last LO! Sigh ... so that's tonight or tomorrow's job, then of course there's the scraps left that I am sure I can get a card or two or three out of hehee. Hasn't helped that Maddison refused to have a sleep this afternoon so I didn't send her to school, I 'forced' (sort of) her to have a sleep this afternoon instead! (It was totally worth it as she is in a much better frame of mind - and so am I!! LOL)

.

Off to do something about tea now!

Shhhhh ... Artists at work!

Yesterday and today the kids have been busy in the mornings creating some pieces of art work! This is yesterday's mess! They got into my punch collection, had a pair of scissors each and a box of card scraps!

And then of course you MUST have the glue! Actually make that puddles of glue ... preferably everywhere!

Today's efforts were colouring in ... not necessarily the picture, arms and sleeves of dresses were fun to draw on too! She's busy here telling me (around her dummy!) "Ceeeee Ceeeee" and patting her arms!

No guessing which page belongs to who really is there. It's fun to help Maddison colour in actually because you can do the top of the page without it getting covered in scribbles as her arms aren't long enough to reach up there LOL :-)

Aaron drew me a face and a car to put on the fridge. Car (purple) must be hooning down hill else the face is lying down and I have got the paper up the wrong way! Must ask him when he gets home. The pieces of card stock stapled to the edge were important too ... just not sure how important! But they had to be there :-)

It's no wonder I feel like I spend a lot of time in the laundry scrubbing or soaking clothes! THANKFULLY the felt pens they were using are washable ones, and so far I have been lucky that they have all washed out.
