Scrap365 Blog Hop

We are getting your scrapping New Year off to a flying start!!!

This month we are teaming up with Finnabair and her amazing DT from Mixed Media Place.

 

One of the things that we are very conscious of here at Scrap365 HQ is that if you are new to scrapping it can be really overwhelming with the choice of products to use and the host of styles to emulate….the same could be said if you’re experienced!!

So we have decided that 2014 is the year to get BACK to BASICS!! It doesn’t matter if you have been scrapping for ten years or ten days...you will be sure to learn something new along the way!

Finn has very kindly donated a marvellous prize to either add to your stash or to get you started.

All you need to do to be in with a shot of the prize is follow Scrap365 and Mixed Media Place blogs. Like us both on Facebook and leave a message here telling us which layout principle you are going to try! We would love to see your take on the Principles so be sure to upload them to our Facebook page :)

Our January Blog Hop is all about layout principles. I found this fabulous prompt on Pinterest, courtesy of SuzyQ Scraps http://suzyqscraps.com/. It really sums up the beginnings of every layout.

I chose to go with the Alignment. Choosing a photo and printing it off 2 further times.

 

 I've also made one with the 3 photos, but using different photos.

I'm going to be totally honest here and say, I have actually added this LO since posting this blog hop post this morning. I had this second LO ready, but I just wasn't happy with it. I didn't feel happy with adding it to my post. It's been sat on my desk for some time now (it was actually started before Christmas) but I just couldn't move forward with it and it just didn't look finished.

So this morning I've taken some time and I decided that I wouldn't let this LO get the better of me.

 

 

I removed the original title which was just 'Hats' where 'Disney' now is and added an Extra long title.

I like a good amount of balance on my pages and I needed to balance out my title by using the same colours top and bottom. I stuck to a colour combo of red, aqua and navy.

I also used a Simple Stories sticker sheet - Urban Traveler and added the stickers around the edges.

I now feel so much happier with this LO and it finally feels finished.

 

 

My sweet friend Alexa gave me some goodies when she visited me recently. The fabric Studio Calico cameras were amongst the goodies. I inked them in blue and added some red pen to them.

 

 

 

 

 

These stickers really did the trick and saved this LO.

 

 

So there you have it, the story of the saved LO.

Am I the only one that has moments like these???

 

Don't forget to leave your comments on the Scrap365 Blog when you get back to the beginning and follow the instructions to be in for a chance to win that gorgeous prize! And maybe you could leave some blog love on the DT blogs along the way.

Cocoa Daisy Inspiration Day

We would like to invite you to join us at Cocoa Daisy this Saturday 4th May for a day jam packed full of inspiration, fun and games with a blog hop with prizes and a competition.

If you aren't registered yet, please do so here. It's free and the day will be so much fun.

I have a cheeky page to share of Louis today made with my May Cocoa Daisy Kit.

We were sat in the Beaches and Cream Diner in Disneyworld. He was messing about with my camera and wouldn't give it back when Ade asked. He kept snapping away at himself instead. Ade got annoyed and Louis took a photo of him being annoyed before handing it back.
Looking back at these photos last week it did make me laugh. Little devil!!

I used the Buddy addon for this page.
I love those badges.

And the Teresa Collins 'He Said' papers and sticker sheet comes with it too.

The sun is shining again today.
I love these starts to the day.
Puts you in such a good mood.

I really hope you can join us on Saturday xxx

Paris

Bonjour!

I'm a little behind with my blogging.
I thought I would share this LO with you today that I made about a lunch cruise I took in Paris with my girlfriends in November.

It's been made using lots of Teresa Collins' 'he said she said'. I love these colours.
I got some of the little sticky notes from this range in a Cocoa Daisy addon. They are so cute, like little post it notes. I popped one under the 'this day' stick that I added a foam 3d pad to.  

This crusie along the Seine was amazing and I highly recommend it.
One of the girls I went with booked it and we all had an amazing time. A beautiful glass boat, you get your own table so you don't feel squashed at all and you receive an a la carte 3 course lunch whilst being sung to a rather young hot French man playing the accordian. That was the case for us anyway. We were very happy girls, the wine I'm sure helped with that too of course.
It was just perfect.
Here is the link if you are planning a trip to Paris.
I gave my Mum's friend the details and she went on it last week and enjoyed it as much as we did.

I made this LO for a challenge I'm hosting on Cocoa Daisy right now.
We are scraplifting Diana's style.
Come and see here.

Thank you.
Have a fun day xxx
