Pool Party!

Every year, since the building of her pool, my mate Lisa has thrown a pool party, the party being in italics as she prefers the term intimate get together :P but no matter the name it's always a fun time and this is the page i've made for it in my journal


I like the colours that i used, they're so fun and i feel this is one of the first pages i've done that doesn't just look like trying to scrapbook in a journal but like... idk, not a smash book, but a scrapjournal? idk. never mind my ramblings.


This page was based upon a sketch from sketchabilities, i'm always a huge fan of their sketches and this one was no exception. i made the pictures on the left a little smaller and the one on the right a little bigger.


I love this sketch so much I see myself using it for another page I'm working on at the moment :)

hope you like and happy scrapping xx

Rashmica's eighteenth! again!

So i've been meaning for a while to scrap/smash/whatever it is I do, Rashmica's birthday and when i found this sketch over at ScrapFriends, I knew it was perfect. Here's the sketch:


I love this so much and actually used it for a few of my pages, to be out up at a later date, but this is my entry to the sketch challenge.


So yeah, there it is, no journaling yet as i have yet to get my white pen and i don't want to ruin it with black, but as the challenge finishes today it's up here early. i may eventually get around to putting up the finished version :P


happy scrapping y'all xx

Parachute!

This weekend just been I went away with my girls to the biggest music festival housed in the Southern hemisphere, Parachute Christian music festival and it was amazing! My page below is yet another digital page using some elements from the CSI case 20. It features a pic of me and Arianne on one of the first nights before the festival had reached full blaze.


The color scheme I used was curtesy of scrapfriends and is my entry into their color palette challenge #9. I love these color schemes and it fit the festival theme perfectly.


I hope you like it xx happy scrapping.

More Digi

I have been lazy recently, i admit. And for that, I apologize greatly. Of late, I have been doing a lot more digital scrapbooking, just because its quicker and allows me to change the page quicker.

This page is my most recent. Based around pictures of a party that i went to to celebrate my friends eighteenth birthday.


This is my entry to the 84th sketch challenge over at sketchabilities. I've been meaning to use one of their sketches for a while now, but they've never turned out quite how i wanted them to. This one, on the other hand, i absolutely adored, and i feel i did it justice :)

Here's the sketch:


Oh, and just incase you can't read it, the journalling reads:
"We had a great day celebrating
Rashmica's eighteenth birthday"

hope you like it and happy scrapping

Digi-time!

so today i decided to take a break from the tight cutting and sticky fingers to try my hand at digital scrapbooking, something i have never before tried. I'm not a complete novice at photoshop, managed to use it to make my way through highschool art design, so i thought i'd do alright. Not being up myself or anything, but i think I did pretty alright.


This is my entry into the seventh color palette challenge at scrapfriends. I really fell in love with the color scheme, very Christmasy. And I did start of Christmas themed, but as i generally do, I tangented.



The picture is of my little sister and I at our cousin's wedding. The paper i used was from a CSI challenge and other elements were freebies from Gina Cabrera.

Hope you like. x

Music Dinner!

So this is the first post of my scrapbook (or rather journal) and is my page for the latest CSI case file. It's based on the music dinner that my school had a few weeks ago now to celebrate the success of our musos over the past year. I had a ball and i will miss the all the musos so much as i go off to uni next year.






On the left: me and my girl hazie
On the right: me, julia and anna

The journaling reads: I had such a great night out with just my girlies celebrating a fantastic year with Westlake music! Even though it ended in tears, it was on of the best nights this year. I'm gonna miss these people SO much, and even though I was only part of the family for a year, I will always feel a part of the Westlake musos.


I didn't use the green in the color scheme cause i have issues with multiple colors (its a problem that i'm trying to deal with) so i stuck with the blues and it kinda turned out almost 'winter wonderland' themed, which had not been my original intention. I tend to tangent a LOT, not just in conversation but in scraping also.

My evidence:
  • clocks (down the bottom)
  • mosaic (loosely in the top of the first page)
  • silver metallic elements (the butterflies)
  • something inspired by the bowl (the doily)

It's so great to get back into scrapbooking and i hope you like what i've done. As i'm now on holiday hopefully you'll see a lot more of my work xx
