What are your goals for 2018?

Good Morning Shop and Croppers,

I've been having some technical issues and of course when technology fails it seems that blogging doesn't happen. But it's all fixed and i'm here now to wish you all a HAPPY NEW YEAR.

What are your goals for 2018?

If it is to scrap them why not start your new year off with a SHOP AND CROP SUBSCRIPTION...
I couldn't think of a better way to kickstart your creative journey in 2018.

I've got an example here for you using the April Crop Kit - there are plenty of one off kits available HERE if a subscription is not for you.

And some Close Ups using papers and element stickers from the following companies - click on the links to check what is available in the Shop and Crop shop:

PHOTOPLAY Patterned Papers
KAISERCRAFT Rhinestones
COCOA VANILLA STUDIO Flowers

The next layout from the same kit has a DUSTY ATTIC Chipboard as well:

With the addition of LINDY'S MAGICAL SHAKERS to add colour to both layouts.....Magical

Possibilities are endless.....you are only limited by your own imagination

As 2017 comes to a close I would like to wish you all a happy 2018 and I can't wait to see all your creations, we have so many amazing artists around to inspire us, so many amazing products and such a supportive scrap community.
Whether you are thinking of starting your scrapbook journey or restarting a passion........Remember:

We all start somewhere, and just to prove that I am going to share with you the first ever scrapbook page that I did 10 years ago to give you a bit of a laugh ......here goes -

Happy 2018

Thank-you for all your support and welcoming me to the Shop and Crop family in 2017

Summer Is Coming

Good Morning Shop and Croppers,

Well hasn't the year flown by.....can you believe it's only 2 days until Summer 

Can you just imagine it right now......Palm Trees, Coconuts, Tanned Skin, Salty Hair, Warm nights, Cool Beers, BBQ's, Friends and Family.....oohh I can smell and taste it 

There are so many memories captured in summertime, to me it's always about fun and laughter and I have vowed this summer to get out and watch some Sunsets instead of Netflix....

Today I am sharing with you layouts #2 and #3 that I created with the November "OMG THIS KIT IS PERFECT FOR ALL THE SUMMER PHOTOS" Cropaholic Kit

There are so many amazing products in each kit you will receive the instructions and materials for the three layouts in the kit that I designed. Just a reminder......

Especially if they are scrapped..........

This layout was super fun to create and it also uses old stuff in your stash that you probably never thought you would use - the possibilities are endless 

Some of the other products I have used for these layouts can be purchased in the shop. Click on the product to check it out - 

Lindys Magical Shakers

Glass Beads 

Matte Medium

Glossy Accents

Colour Blast Shimmer Cube

Gesso

I really hope you like the layouts I have created and that I have given you some inspirational mojo for summer.

Happy Scrapping...

Are You Ready for It.........

Good Afternoon Shop and Croppers,

I'm back......and I'm cracking the whip ....

It's already mid November and you are running out of time to enter the Challenge for the month - have you NOT seen the amazing Mood Board? It is impossible to not get inspired by the amazing colours and textures it has to offer

Click HERE to enter your layout into the Facebook Album by 30th November to be in the running for a Store Voucher and don't forget to check out some of the amazing inspiration by our other DT members

I would like to share with you my interpretation of the Mood Board

I love to use old calendars as backgrounds - turning an image that's already a work of art into a completely different work of art is a great feeling - if you have done this at all I would love to see your work in the comments.

Every second I hold you up reading this is a second less you have to get your layout in........but i WILL be back later in the day to show you something else amazing......so GET CRACKING Peeps 

Belinda xx
