I think I am really getting the hang of making cards, these last few have turned out rather good if I can say so myself :) or maybe it is the wet weather we are having that has my mojo working extra well...

The Color Room

I ran out of time getting my layout done for palette #26, so I created a digital layout this morning.
This was a romantic palette with colors of red/black/grey & white. I decided to keep the layout simple.
So here is the palette...

And here is my layout...

Another One I Forgot...

to share with you all...
This is a layout I created for last weeks 'What Cooking' challenge over at Scrapz. We had to create layout using 2 photos, a patterned paper background, use 3 or more stickers and a ruffle.
So her is my layout, I used Basic Grey Olivia range (love this range so pretty).

I made the ruffle out of a strip of material and added ricrac to the center.
So that is all I have to share for now, thanks for stopping by and I do love all the lovely comments you all leave :)

Scrapz Wishes...

Over at Scrapz to celebrate world card making day, Heike has been running a comp with lots of card challenges. There are 6 challenges in total and you have until Wednesday 13th October to complete them. There are some fantastic prizes up for grabs. So here are the cards I have made so far.
WCMD#1 - Sketch gatefold card. I have left this card blank has I don't know theme I will use it for just yet.

WCMD#2 - What cooking challenge. I used watercolor pencils on my stamped butterfly, the stamp is a build it up which gives you all the part to make your butterfly.

WCMD#3 - Colour challenge. We had to create a pastel card, so I went with a baby card.

WCMD#4 - Window card. I tried something a little bit different with my Christmas card, the word joy is actually suspended in the window using fishing line, instead of inside the card on the back page.

I still have 2 cards to go. I am not a big fan of making cards so I don't make that many of them, has you can see I am not that good. Oh well they say practice make perfect...thanks for stopping by.

oops...

Time just seem to get away form me at times...
I forgot to post my layout for this months poster for From Screen 2 Scrap
This is the poster...My Fair Lady

 The criteria was to use shades of pink, a blue title and a handmade hat. So here is my layout...

I looked at the poster and saw the painted background so added pink/grey/white paint. My handmade hat is in the lower right hand corner. So why not come over to From Screen 2 Scrap and join in.

Macro Monday...

Well it just seem like Macro Monday comes round so quickly...

Some More Digital Layouts

To share with you all...
First up is my take on the weeks color palette for the Color Room. This is the palette...

So this is my layout, I really want to create a whimsical style layout. Elements used from French Frog (sorry shop is now closed).

The photo of Summah was taken when she was 2 years old.
So now for a couple of digital layout I have created for challenges over at Soul Scrappers.
Deb challenge was to create a layout about siblings, so I did one of me when I was 2 with my sister & brother. We had to use the quote 'siblings are friends given by nature'.

Next is Karen sketch challenge, I did change the sketch a little bit. I clustered the circle photo closer together has I didn't really like them spread out over the page.

Now the next one I did a few days ago but never added it to my blog. It is for another challenge at Soul Scrapper, a digital challenge. We had to create a layout using 3 punches, 2 colors of paper, 1 photo and 2 stamps or word embellishments, one of these had to be the title. Kits used from Digital Crea fr.

So that is all I have to share with you. Thanks for stopping by...

Some Digital Layouts

I have a couple of digital layouts to share with you all. They are both for challenges over at Soul Scrappers for the celebration week...
First up is a recipe card for Linda's challenge (CWC7), we had to include 3 embellishments. I included staples, tape and a pin.

oh yummy rocky road crunch bars...makes me want to make some now! Kit used from Scrap Girls.
Now for Mary's colour challenge (CWC5), we had to use chocolate brown, light blue and vanilla white.

I think I might of used a slightly darker blue than what was asked, oh well! Has you can see I am still scrapping photo from our US holiday back in 2005. Kit used from Devine Digital.
So that is it for now, thanks for stopping by!

What's Cooking Challenge...

over at Scrapz was to create a layout using an aussie vernacular, colour blocking and something big.
So this is what I created...

When we went to America back in 2005 we stayed in LA for a few day and did a tour of Universal Studios. At the Jaws display there was one of the sharks from the movie, so I just had to get hubby to stand beside it so I could take a photo. Has you can see I have used lots of old stash: Lil Davis chip alpha letters and shapes, We R Memory Keepers papers and frame, Carolee's Creation mini alpha, buttons, string & thread. TFL

Well it is Macro Monday Again...

So camera in hand and off I went into the garden and this is what I found...

Look at the center of this flower and the water drops...
