Scrap The Girls

I have done challenge 3 and challenge 4 currently on at Scrap The Girls

Challenge 3 was to use aqua/white and a neutral colour
The papers below are from MME and LYB
The white circles are done with gesso and l have added glitter to my title lettering from MME

Challenge 4 was to use ribbon, paint/mist, circles, flowers and a number title.

 I have used a Prima paper, misted over a butterfly mask and added liquid pearls. To the bird on the bottom right, l have outlined it with glitter glue. My circles are the doillies and paper flower rosettes and l scrunched up my ribbon and placed it under my photo.
My number has been painted and crackled and the flowers are a mix of Manorhouse and Prima.

Thanks for looking

One for the Boys

I thought l would mix it up a bit for this next one. 
This is my layout for Scrap The Boys January challenge.
You had to use a photo of your son's favourite holiday/summer activity.

I have added paint, gesso and ink to my background paper. Once this was dry l mixed texture paste and paint together and using a mask, added the red haexagon shapes.The little red dots are liquid pearls and the flowers are a mix of Manorhouse and Prima. The papers are a mix of Prima and Crate.

Here are some close ups

Happy New Year

I am going to make a new years resolution and that is....to post here more often!!        So to begin with, here is a  recent layout l did. The papers are a mix of MME and Teresa Collins. I have added a Kaiser stamp under the photo.

 

Next are a couple of cards l made for christmas

 

 

Time Flies

Just where does the time go? My last post was over a month ago, l cannot believe it!
Here is my layout for BITW using the word BREATHE.

 

The papers are from Simple Stories. and the layout came together quickly.

I have hidden journalling under the smaller photos explaining Tom competing in his last cross country at school.

 

Using a stencil, l added some texture paste and machine stitching to the top third of the layout.

                                                                              

Here is another layout using those gorgeous papers and embellishments from Prima
I really love these bright colours. This is a recent photo of my Alana and myself.

 

I did some distressing and stamping, made some paper rosettes, added liquid pearls to the punched pattern paper, as well as to the inked chipboard fence.
The journalling is hidden under the photo and forms part of the title.

 

Christmas is quickly approaching and it's a busy time of year for everyone.

I hope it's a good time for you all :)

 

October Sketch

Another sketch is up at MCS



This is my take

 

The papers and embellishments are all Prima.

I have distressed 4 papers and used these as my backgrounds, to which l gave two a decorative punched edge.

I cut out some scalloped circles and layered these on doillies

My journalling is on the hidden tag with the orange ribbon.

The small flowers have been pulled apart and layered.

I added some buttons in similar colours and a little bit of bling

Thanks for looking.
If you are having a bet on the Melbourne Cup today, l hope you back a winner!

 

 

 

Another One

My entry for Bird is the Word
Spring/Summer/Winter/Fall are the words to be used somewhere on your layout.
I chose Summer as my word

 

Here is my take using papers from Simple Stories, which made up the  MCS August Main kit



Here are some close ups

 

 Everything coordinates so well with. All l had to do was layer up some elements, add some ink, a little decorative edging, some liquid pearls and bingo l'm finished.
