Scrapbook Savvy November Sketch

This is the page I created for this month's sketch challenge over at Scrapbook Savvy.

This is the sketch.

And a close up of some of the details...

Kept is short and sweet for this post. Thanks for stopping by :)

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 :)

White and Watermelon

Another colour challenge I had fun with over at White with 1.
Watermelon was an interesting colour and I don't know if I get it exactly correct but I had fun creating my layout.

Oh the colour has come out more red in the image than it actually is on the layout :(, that is a bit of disappointment. And don't laugh at my letter "e", I had to improvise and cut up the letter "g". So that is my layout for this month's challenge at White with 1.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Candy Pinks and Gold

Mixed with black.
That is the challenge over at Black With Two. 
Wasn't so sure I liked the sound of these colours mixed together but once I get started I was rather pleased  with how they looked together.
Si his is what I came up with as my entry for this month's challenge.

I even found some gold gems in my stash that I used randomly on the gold paint.

My gold paint was a bit on the old side, and it was a bit difficult to apply even with texture paste, at least I got enough out of the tube to complete this :)
I think my scrapping mojo might be coming back, this is the most I have scrapped in awhile!

123 Challenge

I decided to have a go at the 123 Challenge this month.
October Selection Criteria is to use...
1. Colour: Yellow
2. Word: Heart

Used up bit and pieces on this layout, it is amazing what you find laying around, lol. Even this photo which was taken on our India trip was on my desk. Had fun doing this page :)

A Colour Challenge

Is this month's challenge over at Scrap The Girls.

A great colour combo, I just loved these colours together.
So here is my page...

Had fun playing with texture paste and paint again. My palette is a bit more softer has you can see. I used a photo from my 40th birthday [which was many years ago now, lol], my youngest daughter Zoe and my sister-in-law are pictured with me.
Here is the palette, gorgeous colours...

Lovely bold and bright :)
So once again there are lots of fantastic prizes up for grab this month, so join in. Would love to see your creation.

Sun & Sand

My take on this month's challenge at Black With 2.

Has you can see it is a colour challenge.
Black + Sunset Orange + Tropical Waters.
Didn't think this colour combo would work together but once I got started I really loved it. I got carried away adding lots of goodies so my page sort of got a bit busy.
Thanks for stopping by ♥

Pastel Colours Plus Masking

Had fun working with pastel colour for this month challenge over at White With 1.
My yellow texture paste did turn out a bit brighter than I had hoped for but I still  love the overall effect.

Loving using masks on my pages, they just add that something extra to the page :)
Thanks for stopping by ♥

Oh Dear I Am Late Posting!!!!!

White With 1

This is my take on this month's challenge over at White With 1

Selection criteria this month is to use...
White + Navy + Arrows
Covered all three :)
Used a mix of arrows, some rubons and some handmade.
Thanks for stopping by :)

Oh My!!!

Now don't fall off your chairs but I have been scrapping...yep you heard correctly I have actually created :)
This is my take on this months challenge over at Kraft It Up.
The challenge is to scrap a layout that is not your usual style, so I did a negative space page.
Still has lots of layers but I only use a small amount of space on my background.

Have another share for you which I will post tomorrow :)
