Zeus & Zoe April Challenge - Life as it is now Mini Album - Video

Hi Everyone,
This month I am doing the April challenge on the Zeus and Zoe Blog!  I'd love to see some familiar faces join in with the fun, and there certainly are some fabulous prizes to win....
  
The main aim of scrapbooking is to turn out photographed memories, into stories that can be passed down through generations.  Often, those creating the stories of the photographs, are also the photographers, and more often than not, are not in many photographs themselves. I know I am one of those people, and even though I scrap about my childhood, I rarely scrap about myself as the person I am today and who I am.

The challenge this month will be to create and journal a project about 'life as it is now', the subject being 'you as an individual'.  There is much interpretation in the depth of how you can create, whether it is a canvas, a mini album, or a scrapbook page.  You can add as much detail as you wish, and about what topics you want to share about yourself - this is totally up to you.  Hidden journaling for personal information is fine - quite often I will write my journaling, add to an envelope and adhere this to the back of my project creation. 

There is one additional requirement for the challenge, and that is to incorporate the use of buttons into your creation.  Everyone has a button stash, and in our DT kits from Marivic were some truly amazing, vintage buttons I have been just itching to work with....

I have created a paper bag, mini album. The post was going to be extremely graphic intensive, so I created a video to show all of the album.  This project is a work in progress, and still has a fair way to go for completion.

I really hope that my mini album inspires others to take part in this months challenge....and be in the chance to win some fabulous prizes too!!
Have a creative week..

You Will Always Be My Princess LO and Flower Tutorial - The Scrapbook Store

This month for The Scrapbook Store I completed a tutorial video to complete this layout.  Also, in the video is how I constructed the flowers - the video can be found 'HERE'.
My daughter always loved dressing up and being a princess - she is still pretty much that way! The Bo Bunny - Isabella Paper Collection worked in beautifully colour wise with the photograph - so pretty.  The Petals come in a flat pack, and I adjusted with a few nips, tucks and folds to create more realistic flowers - these can be found on the video.
 Hope you'll call on over for a look at the video!

My Sweet Childhood Layout Tutorial - The Scrapbook Store

This month, for The Scrapbook Store I created a video tutorial using papers and elements from the Die-Cut set from The Scrap Cake, Sweet Childhood. You can find the video 'HERE', on The Scrapbook Store Blog. 

The photograph is of me as a child, I am pretty sure I was being reprimanded for wriggling around like a bucket of worms (my Mothers words, which I now use with my own little darlings) while the photographer was taking photos.   It is amazing that these memories have stayed in my mind all these years....(sounds like I'm ancient - OMG, maybe I am?  LOL)

At the moment at The Scrapbook Store, there is a HUGE birthday celebration, with 20% off all stock.   Also, the sketch for December is up over at the Gallery, with a fantastic prize of a $40 voucher with FREE shipping....so do call on over to join in the fun!!
 I'll be back sometime soon with my final layout using my December kit.  Also, don't forget my Christmas Blog Candy Give-Away, details can be found "Here" if you have not already added your name, please do so...
Be back 'soon'
