365 well under way

Last night we had our first official 365 meeting at RTlicious. It was great to get all inspired by the other ladies and to see everyone rearing to go. Some of the participants are completely new to the 365 whilst others are going for the second time round but taking different approaches to see if they can make it even easier or even more creative than 2009. I am so far really enjoying my 365 and making sure I embrace my word for the year - SAVE! Save the memories and save money by using all my scraps!

After finally getting some sort of of organisation into our house after being away the previous week, I have finally managed to get a few layouts done! YEAY! So here's to sharing...

The recipe stand below is something i did up for a Christmas gift swap for our quilting group. I used a Twiddleybitz stand and decorated it with Basic Grey paper, blue paint and Kaiser pearls - easy peasy.

This layout below is very retro - I used Sassafras & Kaiser papers; miscellaneous buttons; Basic Grey & October Afternoon letters; and die cut flowers from Sassafras.

This next layout is made using prestitched paper from Prima - beautiful papers! I also used flowers from Prima; bling from Prima and Kaiser; German scrap; letters from American Crafts * Basic Grey; journalling block & die cuts from My Little Shoebox.

The following layout is using papers from Sassafras; letters from Basic Grey; embellishments from Sassafras; & the painted background was using Lyra crayons and an aqua pen.

I wanted to embrace the red colours in the next layout so I used papers from Sassafras; stickers from Basic Grey (new Sugar Rush); flowers from KI Memories; letters from Websters and Heidi Swapp; rubons from Urban Lily, Amercian Crafts, Basic Grey, kaiser and Hambly; transparency from hambly; chipboard and diecuts from Sassafras & Basic Grey; and pearls from Kaiser.

The next layout is also displayed on the RTlicious blogspot (www.rtlicious.blogspot.com) as our Week 4 challenge - create a layout inspired by media. See the ewebsite for further details.

I used Basic Grey papers fro this layout as well as rubons from Basic Grey; chipboard from basic Grey; and bling from Kaiser.Tea Party! This layout was made using the exciting and romantic new range from Basic Grey. To create this layout I used papers from Basic Grey & Sassafras; letters from Basic Grey; stickers from Sassafras and Basic Grey; miscellaneous buttons; ribbons from making memories and Websters; rubons and chipboard from Basic Grey (nook and Pantry and sugar rush); and bling from Kaiser.

Yesterday we completed a card class using some of the exquisite stamps and montages from darkroom door. We also used some Glimmer mist and glimmer screens, transparencies, distressed inks and Kaiser bling. Was lots of fun.
Darkroom door stamps and montages are of course available in store and to order from RTlicious. Well best I get stuck into some more housework.

Enjoy your week
