Happy Christmas

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!  I haven't done a photoshoot with the kids yet, but I had some photos from last year to scrap ... and luckily they matched the paper colours perfectly ;)

I have used the Heidi Swapp Believe 6x6 paper pad ... and lots of the ephemera pack for this page.

Hey hey hey!

Hasn't this month just completely flown by! First up, a little disclaimer... I apologise in advance for the quality of my photos this week - and opening admit that they are taken, tucked away in the laundry on top of the freezer... because that appears to be the best light in my house at the moment.

It is rent inspection week here and I have been running around like a crazy - you know my planner has been getting a workout!

I thought I would share with you, a couple of spreads from my planner, and I even had a go at making a dashboard this week too :) That was fun... I like laminating lol

The coloured squares are made with Scrapping paper, from an older Heidi Swapp Christmas range, and the dashboard - that was a cheeky card I found at Typo

As good a Gold.....

Good morning Rikki here today with another simple but yet striking Christmas layout. Hope you are all finding something a little creative to do each day at this time of year.

I must say I have been struggling with trying to create layouts and my scrap studio looks like a bomb has gone off with all the creating of teachers gifts and Christmas Card making. Only two more days left of school and I cant wait till Friday....... PJ DAY!!!!!!

I'm in the mood to create

Hi everyone, 
I really am in the mood to scrapbook and especially when I have this beautiful mood board to inspire me. Here is my take for this months challenge. 

 A very simple layout as this is a very busy month with a few projects going at once. I think we all know how December can be so busy.
 I used diecut stars in red and white stripe foil and the other in silver glitter. 

A close up of the background.
So we would love to see what you create using this mood board as inspiration.

Christmas cards - by Chloe

Hello!  Do you make Christmas cards?  I love making cards, but they have to be simple and quick and preferably use scraps on my desk!

A 6x6 paper pad is PERFECT for cards.  I have the gorgeous Heidi Swapp Believe paper pad and whipped up these cards super quickly teaming the paper with the matching ephemera - easy!

I embossed each card before I started to give just a hint of background texture.

I just love the little bows from the ephemera pack!

I must admit, I'm a bit of a fan of non-traditional Christmas colours!  Black and yellow?  Why not?!  Blue and red?  Of course!

Hey hey hey!

How are you? Been busy? Its been a little chaotic here, school is winding up and it feels like there are a million activities on the go at the moment! So thankful for my MAMBI Create 365 Happy Planner! Isn't she pretty?

I have to say this right now - Kylie has a major sale on these gorgeous planners at the moment - cheaper than anywhere else that I have seen! So if you are looking for a diary/planner for 2016, get in quick!

I have to say, I love love love that you can remove the pages from these planners! This is a must of you are wanting freedom to decorate, as you then don't need to work around the spine or centre as with most planners. The paper is incredible good quality and I have had a chance to play with some stamps, which I will share in some up-coming posts :) MAMBI have also created some extension packs for the planners, including the Household Extension Page pack, which includes a section for To-Do Lists, Meal Planners, House Cleaning Schedules and Budgets.



There are an incredible amount of accessories available for these planners - MAMBI has really considered the needs of those that need to pretty up their planners. Even if you aren't into
pretty-ing and decorating, the layout in these is perfect for day-to-day planning, with enough space to add in the families activities too!

The links below will lead you to exactly what you need to find in the store - but don't stop there! Have a look and treat yourself!

It is that time of Year!!!!

Good Morning how are you all? Rikki here with my first Christmas post of the month (shhh it was meant to be last week, dont tell the boss ;) life was getting away with my schedule).

But things are now under control well as under control as they are going to get with the festive season as well as the 3 kids finishing school in a 1 1/2 weeks.... I am only counting so I can knock off with the school runs and all that entails = pj days are NEEDED!!!!!

So with the count down on to Christmas the design team was very fortunate to receive Christmas related kits and whats better than that either to document your current festive season or if your anything like me ...... catching up on past photos. My kit this month is using the stunning Teresa Collins Tinsel and Company range.

 

So my aim this month is to do simple and elegant black and white photos to give each layouts some commonality and it give it a classic feel. Not to mention focus on some stories of the day with hidden journal tags.

So what are your Christmas Scrapping Plans? Do you have photos to catch up on? Share with us your plans either here or in our Scrapping Clearly Facebook Community page...... We would all love to see and get some more inspiration.....

Till next time have a creative day.
