tudio 73 - Australian Bush Christmas Collection: Merry Xmas Skippy

 Well my Crafty Friends, here we are a month away from Christmas.

Is it just me or has this year just flown past?

Speaking of Christmas, Studio 73 has an absolutely gorgeous 

Christmas Collection - Australian Bush Christmas. 

With beautiful little Australian animals featured alongside Santa.

There's so much detail on the page, you don't need to do too much to make a fantastic layout.

So here for you today I've made a 2 page layout, so grab your fussy cutting scissors we're going to give them a workout.

Halloween In Dreamland - TRICK OR TREAT

 Hi again my crafty friends.

October - here we are!

How many of you do Halloween?

Funnily enough I don't do Halloween, however I have a niece and nephew who do and so gave me the perfect opportunity to play with the gorgeous paper range by Memory Place called 

Halloween In Dreamland.

The illustrations and the cuteness is enough to make anyone what to create something special with them...and so I did.

SIMPLE STORIES - Simple Pages - Part 2

Hello again my Crafty friends.

Well, here we are again past the half way mark in September....December is slowly but surely creeping up on us - has anyone even given Christmas presents a thought?

For those getting organised, I thought this gorgeous sweet collection by Simple Stories makes the perfect gift.

 Suitable for avid scrapbooker's or the complete beginner, just follow the "simple' instructions together with the illustrations to recreate the shown layouts or even make them your own.

There are a few different collections to choose from.

Today I'm playing with Simple Pages - All my love and bringing you part 2, where I've added a few of my own elements and have tweaked it slightly to show you how easy it is to change it up slightly and not needing too many more supplies to do so.

SIMPLE STORIES -Simple Pages - All my Love

 

Hi again my crafty friends.

Here today I'd like to share with you a gorgeous little collection that absolutely anyone can do.

Simple Stories have a gorgeous range called Simple Pages.

 The collection I'm using today is called "All My Love".

What's great about this collection is that a complete beginner to an experienced scrapbooker can complete the pages with ease.

It comes complete with 2 double layouts and all the instructions and diagrams to be able to recreate the pages shown.

Or.. if your like me, change things up a bit to make it your own.

49 and Market - Something Pink or Something Blue

Hi my crafty friends.

Well here we are another month is soon coming to an end, where do the weeks go...can you believe it will be Christmas soon?

I have been playing with the gorgeous bright colours of the 49 and Market Spectrum Sherbet Collection once again.

I couldn't decide if I liked the blue colour scheme or the pink colour scheme the best. 

I have discovered that I like to match my papers to the colours in the photos in someway, not by any means a requirement when scrapbooking.

I pick a colour that stands out in the photo and then try to match the papers to suit it or vice versa...now, don't get me wrong it doesn't always work out; but in this case it did.

So here I was with a couple of pictures which worked with the pink, and a picture that worked with the blue so I decided to play with both.

Here are my 2 layouts I'd like to share with you.

"Hello" Baby Girl - DT Crystal Watts

Hey Crafters!

Crystal back here on the blog today, and well its getting closer and closer to our family welcoming some little girls! So this layout was super fun to create as its going to go into one of the beautiful girl albums that Nanny/Gigi is creating (AKA Jodie - Owner of COTR)

Here is the Layout I'll be taking you through to create today, its made up of a new style even I have been adapting to, involving using up those scraps to create a beautiful layout. 

I'll be using Uniquely Creative - Hey Baby Girl

Welcome Baby (8x10'' Album Pages) - DT Crystal Watts

 

Hello Crafters,

I hope your all well, and getting in as much creating time as possible! 

Welcome to July, well this month here at Craft on the Run we are getting to play with some of the new collections that have arrived in store as of late.

Today and later in the month I will be sharing the beautiful Uniquely Creative - Hey Baby Girl collection.

I had one of the Uniquely Creative 8x10 Albums sitting around and though using this kit would be perfect to start my baby album. 

 

Gumnut Babies - May Gibbs (Paper Rose Studios) DT Crystal Watts

 

Good Morning Crafters! 

I hope your all well! Can you believe that we are half way through 2022? I certainly cant, This year is just flying by... something I guess that's made it feel like its going quicker is my pending arrivals! 

If you follow Craft On The Run socials you might have seen the announcement that my partner and I are expecting Triplets in a few months time!

Its such an exciting and emotional time in our household and crafting more than ever is becoming a time to just relax and take my mind off the chaos that's about to enter the house.

With the Theme this month being "AUSSIE" and babies on the mind I was given the opportunity to use my beautiful May Gibbs Classic Papers - by Paper Rose Studios.

Here's what i have created to share with you this month....

Daycare Memories - Crystal Watts

 

Good Morning Crafters! 

Oh Gosh its May! I cannot believe that we are almost half way through 2022, It seems at this point I blink and its a new month!

Well this month's theme has been super fun to play with, most likely because my little man started Daycare and so this collection worked so well!

How many of you have 1st Day of School Photos lying around and you haven't done anything with them? Or maybe just school projects that have come home and are collecting dust in a box? 

Well you will want to get your hands on this beautiful Echo Park Range called "I Love School"
