A2Z Sketch Challenge

Hello everyone, hope that your day went well. Today I manage to finish my take on the A2Z Sketch Challenge. The prize is a big, a guest spot in January!!!!

Here is the sketch:

And here is my take:

Instead of using 3 photos I used 2 big ones. But otherwise I think I followed the sketch. This is of my middle child who is full of ATTITUDE!!!!! These photos make her look like an angel but really not.

So now for a few close ups

Here is the title. Its an A2Z one. I inked and embossed it. Angel with was done with all pink but Attitude was done with black ink and pink embossing powder. The idea was for the  black to come through in bits. Did not really work but I like the look. The bricks were made from using a chipboard brick as a template (don't know what brand) and homemade texture paste (click HERE for link). Turned out well.

This again has A2Z chipboard. I left it plain and used prima flowers and Handmade Halo resin bird, little clock and lace.

The butterfly is also A2Z chipboard. I inked in with prima ink and put some pearls done it. I also used Handmade Halo flowers, pin and lace. The paper is Kaisercraft and Echo Park.

Handmade Halo has just done there October release. Head HERE for the shop.

Thanks for looking :D

Scrap The Girls Challenge layout

Hello everyone. I hope the weekend was fab for you and you got done want you wanted.

Yesterday I scrap a layout in 1 day, something that does not happen in this household with 3 young girls. The layout I did was for Scrap The Girls October Challenge. This month its a recipe challenge. The layout needs to have

• Flowers
• 2 Different types of alphas
• More then 1 photo
• Stapes

Loved the idea so I did it. Here it is:

This is my youngest daughter on our swing set. The stapes are at the end of the twine, 2 alphas are the red October Afternoons and the tiny aqua, 2 photos of my daughter and do you think there is enough flowers???? LOL

I have used a LOT of Handmade Halo products as I just got a parcel full of a order I did in the September release and just HAD to use them. All the flowers, charms and the tiny wooden flowers near the charm flower are all from Handmade Halo.

Here is some close ups

The big blue flower and yellow flower are handmade creations that Halo does soooo well. They also sell lots of resin flowers. And isn't that a cute toadstool charm??? Need more of that one lol And that glass thingy next to the blue flower come in a kit in the September release. Loved it!!!

This charm also came in a kit (without the peal) Love the layering of it. I put the peal in the middle but you could put anything in it or leave it plain. And the tiny wooden flowers are soooo cute.

And here is another charm and also the new Prima template that I used with black glimmer mist.

This challenge from Scrap the girls was fun and I might even do another layout using the recipe. Head HERE for the site, see all the layouts that the CT have done and the ones that have already been put by people entering.

A layout full of Purple Pumpkin and Charms Creations

Hello on this fine, very sunny Saturday. Are you watching the racing cars??? Or maybe doing some crafting???

Well I have a layout to show you full of the handmade products of Purple Pumpkin. They make very fab buttons, bottle cups and flowers. They also sell twine and other bits and pieces.

Here is the layout

The dolly, owl bottle cap, the big blue and white button and the tiny flowers near the heart are all from Purple Pumpkin. They have such a huge range in there shop and more are added each week. Head Here to check out the store

I also did this layout for Charms Creations challenge for last month. It was a quote challenge, 'LIFE IS BETTER WHEN YOUR LAUGHING' I just had to use this photo of my middle child. I also have done other layout with the same photo. Check it out HERE and let me know which one is better :)

  The heart is from Charms Creation. She has facebook sales of the handmade products such as page runners, mini runners, hearts, stars and so on. Head HERE for her facebook page.

Also I have been having soooo much trouble uploading photos in bigpond email and blogger I was wondering if anyone else has been having issues??? Its one of the reasons I have not been doing close up photos as it can take me half an hr just to upload one photo 'sigh'

 Anyway, Thanks for looking

Where did 2 weeks go???

It went while I had a very sick household (me included). I Still have 1 girl and a hubby that's not well. It has been yrs since I have been sooo sick. I spend nearly a week in bed, something that is hard to do with 3 young kids!!!

But we are on the mend and I am showing you a layout that I did before I got sick for Scrap Everything

These are photos from this yrs Mullewa Show. The Bouncy Castle was a big hit. I used Fabric paper for the first time on this layout. And loved it!!!! It is something that you should buy (from Scrap Everything of cause) and try. It has a sticky back so no tape is needed, comes in different patterns and you can use it just like normal paper. I did not put many embellishments on it as the photos were very bright and happy I wanted the keep the eyes on them.

Head HERE for Scrap Everything shop, have a look around and you never know what goodies you will find

1st layout for Scrap Everything

Hello this Saturday night. After a long week of having more sick kids I was able to play with my very first DT pack from Scrap Everything. And what a pack it was. I already have made 2 layouts and now am doing up slight words for my oldest with the leftover card (all will be shown in time)

But for the 1st layout......drum roll please.......................................................................................................................................................
.................................................................................................................................................................

The 'BE YOU" was on the back on one of the papers I was given. And the background paper had only one pink heart on it so it just seemed to click together. And this photo of my youngest went well with the whole story.

I was given metal sheets and I was not really happy to begin with. Metal and me don't do well together. But I also brought the Rosette die from the store and was dieing to try it out. After I made the rosette I am now planning on using metal sheets more often. And they can be painted as well!!!! So many thing just come to mind :)

Close up of rosette, flowers and the chipboard heart

A late feeling sketchy sketch

Hello on this 'fine' spring day. We have had over 10mm of rain and its cold. But since I am a farmer as well as a scrapper I will say YAY to the rain lol

Its been a very busy time for us. We went camping last week for 3 days and then spent days catching up on all the washing. Because of this I am 2 days late with last weeks feeling sketch layout sketch. I have not done one for a few weeks and really wanted to get this one done. But I only finished it today. There is a new card sketch up so head over, enter and who knows you could win the big prize.

After spending AGES tiring to upload the sketch I give up!!! Head HERE for the layout sketch and this week card sketch

Here is my take on the sketch

Instead of using 1 photo I used 2 and took out the writing. I don;t normally cluster near a person on a photo but that is where it took me with this one. Used a star from Charms Creations (head HERE for facebook page, she is having a sale TONIGHT), Purple Pumpkin button and Handmade halo lace. Paper is Prima and Kaisercraft, flowers are Kaisercraft, prima, Manor and Scrapbooking In Geraldton, ink is prima and the chipboard is A2Z. The Flourish With A Bling (FWIB) is one that I won!!! I stamped on it with a prima stamp and ink like it was shown HERE. I had soooo fun fun playing with it!!!

Well that's it. Hope to have more to show soon now that life is quite again
