The Next Challenge Is Up...

over at Scrap The Girls this month's challenge has been posted.
This month it is a photo prompt challenge.
This is what I created...

And this is the photo prompt...

I got my inspiration from the light part of the photo, all those bright colours. I used only cardstock creating this layout, so that my bricks looks as much like the ones in the photo. Grudged up the background a bit by using a few different shades of mist to match the cardstock.
So do join in this month's challenge, would love to see your layout and the inspiration you got from the photo. Thanks for stopping by ♥

OMG...OMG...OMG...How could I forget!!!!

How could I forget to share my layout for this month's challenge at Scrap The Girls :(
So here it is...

This month you have to create a page using this sketch designed by Amanda H.

I flipped the sketch over so it would work with my photos of Mia. Found these cute chipboard fish in my stash which I thought looked adorable so used I used them.
Again I am sorry for the late posting. Hope to see your creations over at STG :)

Merry Christmas

I would like to wish all my friends and followers a very Merry Christmas.

Stay safe and enjoy yourself :)

123 Challegne

I am on a roll at present with all the layout I am creating :)
This one is for the 123 Challenge.
This month's 3 selection criteria is to use...colour: metallic + technique: bow + word: Joy.
Didn't have a lot of metallic elements to work with but I am please with I did use.

Had to take the photo in the late afternoon sun otherwise none of the metallic elements would of been seen to there full potential. Played with the mist on the background here, used a straw to blow out the large droplets. Looks okay I think.
This will most likely be my last share for this month so I hope you have all enjoyed what I have created.

Stuck ?! Sketch Challenge

I loved the second sketch in this month's sketch challenge over at Stuck?! so I just had to play along.
This is my layout...

Mia was so cute in this photo taken a couple of years ago, she was more interested in the tag then unwrapping the present, that is why I decided to title this layout 'is this mine'.
Thanks for stopping by :)

All I Want For Christmas

Scrap The Boys blog challenge this month is to scrap a layout about 'all I want for Christmas'.
So this is what I did after finding this gorgeous photo of my oldest son taken a few years back.

I used up some older Christmas supplies here. Loved using the Basic Grey patterned paper for the background, it gives the layout a warm feel.
I am loving creating at present seeing has I have more time being on holidays :)

Another Layout To Share

This page is for this month's challenge over at Kraft It Up.
Had a choice of two different colour combo...
Aqua/Kraft/White/Silver or Pink/Kraft/ White/Gold.
So of course I went with the Pink/Kraft/White/Gold.

I used some stamps and rubons in white and pink on the background to add a bit of lift to the kraft cardstock. Raided my Christmas scraps box for the paper and some of the other bits and pieces.
Want to see a close up?

Thanks for stopping by :)

White with Banana

Well I think my banana is a bit over ripe...lol!!!
White With 1 colour challenge this month is white with banana but my banana is off or over ripe I think...
Have a look and see for yourself...

Isn't it funny when I am looking for a certain colour in my stash I can never seem to find it, but at other times when not needed I can, very frustrating!
Anyway this is my layout for this months challenge. Here are some close ups to show some of the details.

This photo of Summah was taken on our Bali trip [Sept 2013] at the Waterbom park, Summah didn't want to get her photo taken with the local mascot 'the waterbom duck' but we talked her into it and it is a lovely photo :)
Thanks for stopping by ♥

Candy Red and Crystal Blue

What a lovely colour combo when added to black. These are the colour combo for this months challenge at Black With Two.
I will get right into showing you my page, so here it is...

Don't know if I got the crystal blue colour right but this is the closest I had. This page started as a big disaster, you should see the back side of the black cardstock...big, big, big MESS!!!
But hey I just could throw out the cardstock, but I didn't I used the back side. It didn't have the texture but that was ok.
Thanks for stopping by :) 

Monkey Fun

Gosh December is her already, were has the time gone!
So seeing it is the beginning of the month that means that a new challenge has been posted up at Scrap The Girls. For this month you have to create a layout using....
multiple photos, a least 3.
This is what I created...

These photos of Summah were taken on our Bali holiday, she was unsure about the monkeys climbing all over her but she warmed up to it after a while.
Some close up to show you the details...

There are 3 great prizes up for grab again this month. Why not check out Scrap The Girls blog to see all the other CT layouts of this months challenge for inspiration.

A Recipe Challenge

I did this page for this month's challenge over at A2Z Scraplets.
So what were the ingredients for the recipe...
The colour red 
Material or felt 
Sewing
More than 1 photo 
Paint or mist 
A2Z scraplet
My sewing is in the form of a circle stitch stamp, hope this is acceptable.
I did go a bit Christmasy. I had these photos of Summah which I haven't scrapped so seeing has part of the recipe was the colour red they were perfect. So anyway here is my page...

Here are a couple of close ups.

Thanks for stopping by :)   

Black, Cherry Reds and Coffee Browns.

I really didn't know how these colours would all work together, black and cherry reds ok I could see them working but throw in coffee browns as well....ah well not sure!
So why am I going on about these colours, well they are the colours for this months challenge over at Black With 2. I created and they worked...woohoo and I am very pleased with how they turned out!
Look for yourself...

So what do you think, looks ok doesn't it!
Here are a few close ups to show you some of the details.

So that is my little scrappy share for today :)

Scrap The Boys

I decided to have a go at this month's challenge over at Scrap The Boys.

Who or what is your Man's Best Friend, that is the selection criteria. 

I interpreted this along the lines of gadgets are my oldest sons best friend.

So this is my page...

I found some hardware washers in my desk and they were perfect to use some on this page, they added that little bit of extra masculine element to the page I thought.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Scrap & Music

This is my take on the sketch and music challenge #13 at Scrap & Music, had to include part of One Direction song lyrics 'What Makes You Beautiful' as the title. I selected the words 'but when you smile'.

Used some older Basic Grey Pheobe papers. Seeing has the papers are rather busy I didn't add too many embellishments.

So that is another layout done for me this month, rather proud with what I have done.
Thanks for stopping by :)
