Mel's Me Time

Hello Everyone, This month at Sketches in Thyme we were able to choose our own sketch to work with. I decided to create my own. Here it is... I have used some photos of Brayden at 4 weeks and 4 days old. To complete this layout I used the Simple Stories 24/Seven collection. I just adore Simple Stories...their collections are always so easy to work with. I used a Kaisercraft Clear stamp and some Kaisercraft Bark ink to create the background. I revitalised my iTop tool to create the two brads featured on this page. I am really pleased with how this layout turned out. Make sure you pop over to Sketches in Thyme by clicking this link  to check out what the rest of the team have been creating! I have also been busy creating for Jo at Scrapbookit. There are some amazing challenge entries and the Design Team have been doing an amazing job. Make sure you head to the Scrapbookit Blog by clicking here  to see what everyone has been up to....

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
