STB July 2020 | Wonderful You

Hey my scrappy friends and welcome to my blog again today!!

Can you believe it is the 1st July already?!? Officially birthday month for me 😉

Anyways, I’m here with my next share for Scrap The Boys. Check out this mood board – it is so, so beautiful and I really love it!!And here is my layout. 

As you can see I was inspired by the soft, pretty colours which steered me in the direction of this beautiful cut file designed by Paige Evans. It’s from the Silhouette Store and simply called “Flower Wreath” (Design ID 232488).

For my title I have used one of the Annabelle acrylic pieces from the “Word Pack 2 Wonderful” set, available exclusively through Anna’s Craft Cupboard paired with some holographic thickers.

I have recorded my process video and you can watch that in the video below, just hit the play button! I hope you enjoy!

And here are some close up photo’s for you.

Make sure you head over to the STB blog to see all of the other gorgeous creations from the team and to enter your take on this challenge!

I hope I have inspired you to play with some soft pinks and blues and maybe even some florals for a boy page!

Until next time, happy scrapping!

Stash | iNSD Challenge for CUT to YOU | Feeling Wonderful | Scrapbook Layout

Hello my scrappy friends and welcome again to my blog!!


Today’s share is another scrapbook layout. This was created for one of the iNSD Challenges over on the CUT to YOU HQ Group on Facebook. 
Challenge 1 – Scraplift a DT Member.


I’m not going to tell you until the end of the post who I lifted but can you guess?!

I have used the newest Shimelle “Never Grow Up” collection for this page and I really, really love how this page came together!! You can still pick up a few pieces here in the Anna’s Craft Cupboard store.

I also have a process video for you and I do hope you enjoy! 


Here are some close ups! While you look, have you got any ideas on who I lifted??


Ok, so, did you guess Boss Lady Gwen?!? If so, you would be 100% correct! 

And here is the layout I lifted


Isn’t it a beautiful layout?!? And so striking!! I love this one Gwen!

So, I have been getting some supplies together to play along with some other iNSD Challenges I’ve seen about. I hope to be able to share some more videos and some more blog posts sharing these really soon!

Until then, happy scrapping!

Anna’s Craft Cupboard | Bella Blvd – Squeeze The Day | September 2019

Hello my scrappy friends and welcome to my blog today!

I know it’s been a little while and my sharing has not been particularly consistent but we have had a lot happening around here and I am doing what I can when I can and enjoying the process.

You may have noticed that my blog in general has just gotten less use, especially if you have been around a little while. There are reasons for that and one of those is simply that sharing on my blog is not my favourite platform to share on as I don’t get much feedback and it doesn’t really start any conversations with other creatives!

If, however you follow me on any of my other social media platforms you will have seen that this month I am up on the Anna’s Craft Cupboard blog again. I got to play with the fun Bella Blvd Squeeze The Day collection and have created the following layouts


First up was this fun pun page created of my youngest “Orange You The Sweetest”


You can find the full blog post on the Anna’s blog here
And the process video is below


Next up was another very bright and messy page “Fruit & Vegemite Lunches”


You can find the full blog post on the Anna’s blog here

And, of course, the process video below


Third was another dark background! I just love the way the bright colours pop off the dark background pattern paper. And a title from the Annabelle acrylic collection “Full of Sass”


Blog post on the Anna’s blog is here

And YT process video is below


And finally this bright and happy page “Love You” using another Annabelle acrylic title


You can see the complete blog post on the Anna’s blog here

And YT process video is below



I think in every video I mention that I didn’t choose this collection, Bri did but I love it! The bright bold colours and themed icons really had me scratching my head for a little bit until I decided to just run with it! Hence, my first page “Orange You The Sweetest” lol

You can find the Bella Blvd collection over here in the Anna’s store.

And all of the Annabelle acrylics live here in the store.

The full blog post on the Anna’s blog is here and my process video is below


And lastly for this month is another Easter page. I seriously just couldn’t go past the adorable Annabelle acrylic shapes. Aren’t those bunnies the cutest?!


Full blog post is here and my process video is below

Anna’s Craft Cupboard | Vicki Boutin – Color Kaleidoscope | March 2019

Hey, hey my scrappy friends! Welcome to my blog today! 

If you follow me on any other social media platform you will have seen that this week I have been up on the Anna’s blog sharing the creations I have made with the brand new, awesomely fun Vicki Boutin collection called Color Kaleidoscope.

I thought I would pop together a blog post of all of the pages with links to all of the official Anna’s blog posts and my YT videos so I hope you enjoy!

First up last Thursday I was on the blog with this rainbow number!


Oh Snap! I love how this page came together and you find the full blog post over here and the process video below


My next share on Friday was another rainbow number lol I also really love the way this one came together! I especially love all the dimension from those hearts! 


Blog post is here and YT process video is below


Next up was ANOTHER rainbow layout! I just couldn’t help myself! And funnily enough, I didn’t realise until I photographed these pages that they were all rainbow pages!!


Blog post is here and YT process video is below



My next page is kind of a bit different for me! It’s one page of a 2 pager! While not a traditional double page layout it is the first of 2 companion pages. I have done this this way as there were too many photos (for me) for one page.


Blog post is here and you can view the process video below



And number 2 of 2!


Blog post is here and, of course, You Tube process video is below!!



And here are the 2 pages together for you!


I am going to share this photo (above) in the Anna’s Craft Cupboard FB Community Page to start a little discussion so if you would like to join in head over and hit that join button! There may also be “member only fun things” that happen over there so if you don’t want to miss out, head on over!

I do have one more page to create with this collection (and will still have left overs!!!) but I’m not 100% sure when that will happen so I will create a new post just for the page!

I hope you have enjoyed my shares this week using the Vicki Boutin Color Kaleidoscope collection, I sure have had fun creating with it!!

Until next time, happy scrapping!

Anna’s Craft Cupboard | Beautiful Moments | A Scrapbook Layout

Hello my lovely scrappy friends! As promised I am back with yet another share and yep, again, for Anna’s using the Midnight collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studios.

Are you sick of seeing it already? I’m not and I just wish I had a never ending supply of all the things, it is even more gorgeous in real life!

Anyways, enough gushing over the gorgeous products, here is my page for today


An older photo of my biggest little guy. We were at a photo shoot and he had enough half way through so he grabbed his bear and came and snuggled with his Mumma, awwww….

Haha! I’m a bit of soft touch, especially when it comes to my boys, if you hadn’t worked that out yet!

As usual, there is more close ups and links direct to product over on the Anna’s blog so if you’d like to see more follow the link!

I still have MORE to come so stay tuned and until next time
happy scrapping!!

Anna’s Craft Cupboard | Moments | A Scrapbook Layout

Hello my scrappy friends and welcome back to my blog for the fourth day in a row! Another share today for Anna’s Craft Cupboard with the stunning Midnight Collection by Cocoa Vanilla Studios!


This one came together very easily due to the awesome Die Cut Backing Kit that is available in the collection. I did “make it my own” and spent a number of hours hand stitching that circle in the background but it was totally worth it, I just LOVE the end result.

This one has a process video available as well, so hit play below and enjoy!


For more information as well as links to all the products used and more close up shots head over to the Anna’s Craft Cupboard blog!

I do hope you enjoy and I will be back again very soon with another share!!

Until next time, happy scrapping!
