Styling

Another Sunday scrapping sesh. This time a LO for Purpke Pumpkin's October sketch. This is another page for the month by month book for my daughter. This one jumps ahead to May 2012 as I wanted to use the cute little calenders I got from the purple pumpkin store. Can you tell she dressed herself in the photo? Lol. Used up more of my scraps on this one, though did have to cut into a new page to get the purple. Nothing techy on this layout, just paper strips stuck down with some punched out stars. With the title I only had the second half of the alphabet in the blue so I used numbers instead of letters. I think it adds to the crazy look of her outfit. Enjoy!!!

3 blog posts in 3 days!!!

I am on a roll!!! Actually had some spare time so been getting my mojo on and scrapping away. This is another page for my beautiful (and super cheeky) girls month by month book. 2 down 34 to go lol.

This LO is designed using Show Us Your Stuff's October sketch challenge.

I used more of my paper scraps (Im really getting that stash down, which surely means I can buy more!!!) and did some fussy cutting for the flowers. Then some doodling with a green gel pen to add some glitz.

My hand made item is a Charms Creations rainbow runner.

Hope you enjoy xoxo.

That's a huge b....... lol

Finally starting a month by month book for my daughter. She's only nearly 3 lol. Using a black art journal so figured it's the perfect chance to give the Black with 2 challenge a go. This months colour pallete is orange and greens. So I thought perfect for my pregnancy photo because we didn't find out the sex of our baby till she was born. I hope you enjoy it. I used lots of scraps from my collection along with some My Minds Eye bakers twine and some flowers from Thailand that say Prima collection but I'm not so sure about that lol.

Hawaii Stop

Hello fellow scrappers. Today I have a Saturday  scrapbooking LO. Managed to get one done early before I lect home to head to Babinda to visit the local scrapbooking shop there, Scrap therapy. This LO is for stop 4 of the Scrapbooking Top 50 Amazing Race. I joined in the Hawaii leg. The criteria was
1. Lots of flowers (I added a cluster of flowers in the bottom corner, a pinwheel flower in thw top corner and some flower pattern paper)
2. Banner (I did one in each top corner)
3. Randomness (I used lots of different pattern paper and placed it randomly, also used random colours and shapes for my bannera and drew randomly around everything on the LO with coloured pens)
I used up lots of scraps on this LO so I bought a few new papers today!!! Hope you enjoy.

Farm Girl for ARTastic

Well here is my Sundays offering for you all.
This is "Farm Girl", inspired by the October ARTastic challenge.



This LO was created by cutting little squares of green and blue scrap paper I had, and gluing it down (in sections so the glue didnt dry). Green for grass obviously and the blue for sky and yellow for the sun. The clouds are cotton balls stretched out.
I'm teaching myself with the help of you tube to crochet flowers. These are my first attempts at three different patterns. All made with a multi coloured knitting wool.
This photo was so fun I wanted to keep the LO the same.
Hope you have all enjoyed.

Beach Babe for purple pumpkin

Ah back into the groove of scrapping. Just had to give the Purple Pumpkin August recipe challenge a go.



Ingrediants are -
paint (I used white paint with a mask around the top of my photo)
a button (i used a brown spotty one I got in a mixed pack)
some twine (on my tag)
fussy cutting (also on my tag, the little shells)
spray ink (on my doiley, it was a light yellow so I sprayed it with "worn lipstick" distress ink)
a flower (you can't miss the big woiden one I used)
a doiley (peeking out the bottom of my photo)
and two different alphas for the title (the big spotty "b" is from one set and the rest of the letters are from another)




Hope you enjoy xoxo

Been busy and havent uploaded my challenge entries for the past week so here we go.

First is for Lets Get Shabby. Thier July challenge for thier birthday is to use any previous challenge. I chose Challenge 2 - to use gingham and floral paper together.



Next is for ARTastic. Thier July inspiration is an ink on silk painting of butterfly fish. I used the colours and some butterflys. On the painting it was lined with gold so I used a bit of gold and also lined my ribbons of colour with yellow bakers twine. Also used some coloured paddlepop sticks to line the photo mimicing coral.

4 Generations

Having a bit of a blog hop today and came across Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge and I just had to give their June sketch challenge a go. Here's the sketch...


And here is my take on it...



I used some old pastel coloured chipboard letters for the title. Painted them with white paint them kindyglitzed the letters to bling them up. Added a couple of Charms Creations

Something old (the chicken wire mask, the photos and the sequin stars)
Something new (the paper clip)

SUYS - May inspiration

Ok trying to squeeze in some last minute May LOs in. Loved the May inspiration photo from Show us your stuff All about books and what they mean to us. My
 daughter loves reading and being read books so I
 just had to scrap this. I was inspired by the brick wall and used it as the matt for my photo. Also the dark colours from the inspirational picture and the dreamlike quality. And had to pop on a Charms creation lovely lollipop because I am in love with them and she is having a sale this Friday so I can pick up some more!!!

May WW1

Ok here's my WW1 May LO. White plus cream plus chipboard.
I did a bit of bargain shopping with this one. Picked up the crochet doillee at lifeline for 50c!!!!! I actually used a piece of it on another LO and still have the centre bit in my stash. Felt a bit bad cutting it up but figured whoever made it would be pleased that it was going to be appriciated. Anyway here it is...


I really struggled to begin with on this challenge. The idea of no "real" colour stumped me. But this turned out perfect :) Enjoy xoxo

Bunny Face

Feeling very tired this morning... accidently scrapped till after midnight last night. Oops!!! Just got onto a roll and kept going. So pleased with the end result. This LO is for Scrap Friends May Sketch challenge. Just knew my punk/rock look I was going for would work perfectly with this sketch.

  Did you notice the Charms Creations lovely lollupop on there. Just in love with Charm's little embellies. So versatile. Charm has a sale on soon. Head over to her blog or her Facebook page and like to keep updated.



Anyway... happy scrapping!!!
