Mel's Me Time

Head over to the Scrapbookit Blog  to see the second of my posts for April. Here are a few sneak peeks... Many thanks to Kayla Burns from Burning Memories Photography for allowing me to use the gorgeous photos she has captured in the above two layouts.

After a little break from Sketches in Thyme after a very busy term at work.. today sees the April sketch released over at the Sketches in Thyme blog. Here is the sketch... I have used a gorgeous photo of my niece, Aimee. She was a little younger than she is now. Here is my take on the sketch... For this layout I have used the Kaisercraft - Fine and Sunny collection. The background is the Chirp page. I have used a bird and birdhouse from another page and some foam tape to create some dimension around the tree. I have used some parts of other pages to create the cute little embellishments, some tags and a kite.  I have used the alpha stickers from the collection to create the title. In the top right hand corner I have used some washi tape in similar colours to the rainbow. To check out what the other team members have created, head over to the Sketches in Thyme blog . I did complete the sketch for March however, I failed to post it online prior ...

It has been a huge few months, hence the lack of blog love here.  From the start of the school year to a huge term of Cubs and Scouts commitments.  Some scrapbooking, a retreat and lots of running around. It is finally holidays  and nearly Easter.  Yesterday my first April post for Scrapbookit went up on the blog. I have had heaps of fun using the collection Jo sent me so pop over to Scrapbookit to check it out.  Head over to scrapbookitblog.blogspot.com Here is a sneak peek... Hopefully the posting may increase whilst on holidays.  Mel x
