I'm Late Sorry!

I am late posting my CT layout for this month's challenge at Scrap The Girls.
So for this month you have to use this quote on your layout...
"A smile is the best makeup a girl can wear."

What a fantastic quote the Mal selected for this challenge.
So here is my whole page.

I used some old papers that were just perfect for the photo, who by the way is of my mother-in-law.
Haven't done flower clusters of ages and they just worked on this layout.

So that is my layout for this month's challenge at Scrap The Girls, would love to see your creations so do play along, oh and by the way there are some awesome prizes up for grabs.
Thanks for stopping by ♥

Different Layout Format

This month's challenge at Show Us Your Stuff you have to create a layout using a smaller format, 8.5"x 11".
Haven't scrapped this size layout for ages so I played along.

I used up some of an older Basic Grey paper kit 'Olivia'. My handmade items are the flower and the little owl.

Recycle!!!

The challenge this month at Kraft It Up is to recycle packaging. How many of us have looked at the lovely packaging that some of our scrapbooking supplies come in and thought I should use this, well now is yor chance just play along with this month challenge KIU.
So I used some Prima packaging on my layout.

Had fun making that cute little arrow on the right side of the page :)
Thanks for stopping by, love all the lovely comments you leave!

Are You Ready?

For this month's challenge at Scrap The Girls!!!
It is an awesome challenge this month, so what is it you ask!
You have to create a page using....
Buttons
Paint/Mist
Hexagons
What an awesome combo don't you think.
I ended up creating a rather vintage page for this challenge has the photo I wanted to use was of my nanna which was taken years ago and one of the last ever photos taken of her.

I tried a new technique of paper curling, here is a close up to show you.

The page turned out quiet busy and the paint splatters/droplets aren't as bright has I had hoped.

So I would love to see your entry this month and there are lots of fab prizes up for grabs too.  

123 Challenge

I am loving participating in challenges at present and I have another one to share with you all today.
This one is for this month's challenge over at 123 Challenge Blog. So the criteria for this month is to use...Colour: Black, Word Year, Technique: twine circles.
So this is what I created...

Used some very old Heidi Swapp stash here, lol have so many old things in my stash.
A few close up for you...

Thanks for stopping by :)

Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge

I loved this sketch challenge over at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge Blog.
Here is my page, not really happy with the end result but no matter how long I looked/added/removed items it just seems to be missing something so I have left it at this.

I so do love playing with water color paints at present :)

This is the sketch.

I had a little helper taking the photos today...look at the little toes at the side of this photo, so cute!

How could I not add some photos of my little helper as well :)

Thanks so much for stopping by :)

Lovely

I created this page for the quote challenge over at Scrapbooking From Scratch.
The quote this month is 'Every Summer Has a Story'.
Once I read this quote I knew exactly what photo I was going to use. It is one of my mum being a bit silly at the beach many years ago, has the photo is black and white I use bright colours to help lift the page.

Found some lovely old stash rubons in my draw which were perfect to use here.

Love the effect that using 3 different water colours on the background has made. Thanks for stopping by :) 

Sweet Excited snd Sassy

Over at Show Us Your Stuff this month's challenge is to use either words: excite, excited, exciting on your layout. I used excited as you can see on my page below.

Just love this photo of Zoe with Brett, she was so excited getting to have a cuddle, just look at her face :)
Finally got my sewing machine out on this page. Also got to use up some scrap pieces of patterned paper as well as some old stash again.

Well thanks for stopping by :)

Black Red White

Just love this colour combo and this is what Black With 2 challenge is this month.
I played with my watercolor paints to splatter paint both red and white on the black cardstock, some blended together and I ended up with some pink spots. But I thought this gives the page a bit of character.
I pulled out my 6 x 6 pad of Pink Paislee papers, have so much that I thought it was time I used some of it up.

I had a bit of an accident with my liquid glue at the bottom left hand side, thanks goodness it isn't has noticeable in the photo as on the layout it self.

You can see the dried glue more so in this photo just above, oh well it all adds to the character to the page, lol.

A Just Because Layout

I started creating this page for a challenge but it didn't fit the selection criteria so it had become a 'just because' layout. I do love how it turned out, the colours and Prima papers I used. I tried a technique that was in the latest issue of Scrapbooking Memories. Using stamps that you have wiped the edges with a cloth/baby wipe so it blends the edges of the stamps into your background. Don't know if I got it exactly right but I do like the softer edging of the stamp.

Here are a few close up of some of the details.

Well thanks so much for stopping by and looking at my work ♥

Scrap The Girls

This month's challenge at Scrap The Girls has been posted.
It is an easy one this month, a colour challenge...just use the colours Black + White + Green.
Here is my page, I used an old photo of my mum with her twin and younger sister.

I had fun playing with water colour paints on the background white cardstock. Dug out a lot of older bits and pieces too. For the hearts, I traced around chipboard shapes with black pen.
Now there are lots of awesome CT samples over on STG blog, so do check it out :)
You don't have to create a page if you don't want to, use you imagination ♥
Another lot of fantastic prizes up for grabs again this month too!

So Here Is My Layout

that I mentioned in my last post. This page I created in an hour, first time ever for me creating a layout that fast. This one is for this month's challenge at White With 1. The challenge is to create a page using white + pink + hearts, this challenge was an easy one for me that is why I think I completed my page so quickly :)

Here are a few close ups of some of the details...

Thanks for stopping by ♥

My Take On...

The Black With Two challenge for this month. It is a colour challenge, using black with yellow + blue + 5% white. So this is what I came up with, felt very rusty scrapping this page seeing it had been so long since I had scrapped :(

Here are a few close ups of the details....

Used up some old papers creating this, well it just wasn't old papers it was lots of old stash...lol!
I did scrap another page but I can only show you a little peek...hehehe!

Love how this page turned out :)
So tomorrow I will share another page I scrapped to and I created the whole page in an hour...omg I have never created a page so quickly, lol.
So until tomorrow take care everyone ♥

I Have Been Thinking

I know shock...I have been thinking!!!
Well seeing has I don't do a lot of scrapping anymore I am thinking of closing my blog down and just posting the scrapping that I do on Facebook.
I am just finding keeping a blog going when I have so little time anymore a real effect. And I see I am slowly loosing followers [numbers are dwindling]...
So what to do!!! I will think about it over the next month and see what I decide.

I Can't Believe...

It has been over a month since I have posted here on my blog....
What a bad blogger I am :(
I have been very busy while on holidays painting the house, haven't finished yet still have a couple of room to finish and some outside steps. Can't wait to be finished, so over painting!!!
So I only have 1 layout to share with you all for now.
This months challenge has been posted over at Scrap The Girls, for this month you have a sketch for inspiration. First I will show you my layout.

I did tweet the sketch a bit so it was more to my liking. This is the sketch...

How about a few close up of the details on my layout.

CT's were supplied with sticky paper from Sawyer's Place for this challenge. See the ant paper and chain link one in the image above, these are the sticky papers.Now I am so hoping that I can fit in some more scrapping soon, life just gets so busy at time.
Well until next time, take care everyone ♥
