Scrapbook Savvy reveal...

This month for Scrapbook Savvy, I got to play with the very sweet Jolly By Golly range by Cosmo Cricket! These papers are designed for Christmas and wintery layouts, but the colours are so soft that you could use them for other themes.First up...time to scrap that Santa photo! Why is it we force our children to sit on Santa's knee, then tell them to stay away from strangers? lol. I have hand cut holly from the patterned paper and added Kaiser rhinestones for berries.

I just loved that colourful stripe and I thought it would be a perfect compliment to my oversized photo. I have added rubons to the coordinating chipboard pieces, as well as down the side of my layout.

Last, but not least, the pic of my son was from a few years ago, and he hasn't changed a bit! He still loves donning the Santa hat and it doesn't matter if its Christmas or May...its all good. lol. I have created a background of torn strips, then added rhinestones to the flowers on the base paper. Choosing pink lettering may seem out of the ordinary, however this range has pink papers in it, so I knew it would go! If ever you're stuck for ideas for lettering, look to the other papers in the range for inspiration.

Jolly by Golly papers and embellishments are selling out fast, so check out the Savvy store now.

In other Savvy news...

1 November 2009 sees the release of three brand new kits..."She's Savvy" and "He's Savvy" designed by Sara Noendeng, which will be girl and boy themed; and "We're Savvy" designed by me, which is a little more neutral.

If you’re looking for something to do this weekend, our THINK PINK CYBERCROP is starting on Friday night, so head on over to the forum to find out more and join in on our challenges. You have a whole week to submit your layouts, so plenty of time for everyone.

Cheers, Lis.
