Sad News to share

As many of you might already know, I have sold Scrap with V and the shop has moved on to it's new premises this morning.

It was a hard decision but one I had to make. With all the changes in family life, working a new job, 3 teenage daughters and a husband who works 72 hours a week and a business on top, something had to give and unfortunately it was my baby - Scrap with V.

Chocked full of flu this past week and feeling so very crappy, I managed to get the shop packed up and loaded into the pod ready to head off this morning. I ended up having to call on Annette to give me a hand in getting it finished as I was just so darn sick, it took all my effort. Thank you so much Annette for all your help.
and thank goodness this will be the last time ever I need to pack it up again LOL!!

I am really going to miss the store. Has been such great fun. All the lovely ladies I've met over the years, retreats we've all had fun at. I have really enjoyed this but sadly it was time for me to say goodbye.

I am really looking forward to being able to scrap for me again, keeping the frienships that have flourished and spend more time with my family too.

You will really love the new owner of Scrap with V, Julianne (Jules the Bling Princess) is really lovely and I know she will keep my baby going well.

Please head over to Scrap with V blog and meet Julianne, see what she has in store and the changes happening.

I would really like to thank everyone, all the Design Team girls over all the years for all their support, frienship and encouragement. It has been such a pleasure working with everyone and to all my customers too who I have built great friendships with even though we've never met face to face. Thank you everyone!!

I truly hope that you will all continue to support Scrap with V and Julianne in the future.

Love

Scrap with V Cyber Crop

The first Cyber Crop on the new Scrap with V Blog was held last weekend, it turned out fantastic, great challenges and a chat area to boot. The first challenge was with Amanda, the challenge was

1 .Scrap a Christmas layout
2. based on a night time activity
3. using NO Christmas themed supplies :)

this is my take on Amanda's challenge

Challenge 2 was the sketch which was desinged by the very talented Natalie Hearn

this is my take on Natalies Sketch

The photos are of our Santa Puppy - Jordie he helps us to trim our tree each year

Challenge 3 was the card challenge with a difference with Chris.

Chris's challenge - I would like you to replace the red with either orange or pink and or replace the green with grey or brown. The gold has to stay and it must be a Christmas card. Please add stitching and stamping on your card too.

this is my take on Chris's challenge, I have used pink and brown, I don't sew so I have hand drawn stitching, stamped onto the white card, gold on the star on the tree and gold bow.

Then there was the Mystery Challenge with Lindy, this was so much fun!!
Here is my tree.
Thanks Lindy for a great challenge.

Thank you girls for a great Cyber Crop, look forward to the next one!!

Scrap with V Cyber Crop - Vintage

What a fabulous Cyber Crop we had at Scrap with V way out of my comfort zone but loved every challenge. Didn't think I had any vintage photos to start with and starting scrapping some photos from Sarah's france trip earlier in the year then realised DUH!! I went to a Victorian fancy dress party in Melbourne back in May LOL!! I got the photos out of Dean's 40th Birthday changed them to sepia and now have scrapped them for my album.

Challenge 1 was a fantastic challenge with Jodi being a inspirational scraplift this was make take on the challenge. thoroughly loved doing this layout and really do like how it turned out even though it's not very vintage looking LOL!!


Then there was challenge 2 with Phillipa giving us a challenge 54321
we had to have 5 patterned papers
4 flowers
3 chipboard pieces
2 ribbons
1 material
this was a fabulous challenge
Photo of Andrew and I dressed Victorian standing beside the old steam train that took us up to Drysdale for the party. (the train was the party train old style LOL!!)
I didn't have any material so I cut up an old (clean LOL!!) handkerchief and inked it LOL!!


Challenge 3 was a card challenge with Tarrah having to to keep with the Vintage theme we needed to have 1 or more birdcages and sheet music

Now there was a really good joke in the Bingo game on the Friday night which I put into the words. I really can't repeat here but it's to do with Boots LOL!!

After this and the surprise everyone had with that I just had to include a boot on my card LOL!!


Challenge 4 was a fantastic sketch challenge by Millie (Annette Gearside)
this was my take on the sketch
once again using photos from the Victorian theme party we went to earlier in the year
the top photo is of Dean (my best friend), Jamie (Dean's partner in drag) and I
and the 2nd photo is my darling hubby Andrew and I in costume.

for the scallop edge on the sketch I used white lace which I tea died

Then we had a Blind Mystery Challenge with Kim which was excellent too however I think I did a few things wrong LOL!! but I do like the end result though
Photo of my best friend Dean and his partner Jamie (who makes a stunning woman)
and there is that boot again LOL!! had to add the boot not just because of Bingo but Jamie wore the most amazing pair of boots that night.


Now last month and this month we have added ATC challenge where the winner receives all the ATC's from the challenge. Am so loving the ATC's right now even though it takes longer than a layout LOL!! this is only the 2nd ATC I've ever done.


Now I can't forget Sarah. My sweet 18 year old daughter participated in this Cyber Crop. It was so lovely to have her with me that weekend working on our challenges and I think she did a fabulous job too considering she hasn't scrapped for sometime.

Here are Sarah's layouts for the Cyber Crop Challenges

Challenge 1 with Jodi


Challenge 2 with Phillipa - 54321


Sketch Challenge


Card Challenge

ATC Challenge

Isn't Sarah's layouts just fantastic!!
