Have a Good Night!

Lucky last for the D-Lish Challenges!!

Tonight I am sharing with you a page designed for Kylie's Sketch Challenge

I am tired and I just want to get this published so I can tidy up my mess - you should see it after a week of scrapping!! Haha!!

So, here is my take 

I have been hanging out to do something with this photo since, well, I guess, since I knew it had been taken, back in 2008!! Just one of those very candid shots that makes hubby and I still laugh today!!

Here are a couple of close ups

Thanks again for stopping by and happy crafting!!

Mum's Day Twenty 14

Hi again!!

Here today sharing my (more than likely last!!) challenge entry for Wendy's colour challenge over at D-Lish Scraps.

This was actually quiet difficult for me to pull together - not colours I would work with together by choice - though I am not a die hard AFL fan I am a Freo Dockers supporter and yellow and blue are the other WA teams colours - The Eagles!!

Without further ado here is the challenge

And my take

More gorgeous Heidi Swapp Colour Pop paper as the background, some Navey Colour shine across in the diagonal. Some layers with some of the Studio Calico Atlantic range, a mini runner from Charm's Creations, a mini chevron bag, some Freckled Fawn blue acrylic stars and that cute camera veneer piece :) Those feathers are stamped with the Heidi Swapp ink pads in Navy and Mustard using a CTMH stamp set and I FUSSY CUT them, adhered with a teensy bit of tape and then using my sewing machine stitched down the middle of both :)

Here are a couple of close ups

I enjoyed the challenge of working out of my comfort zone with colours I wouldn'd normally pair together!!

Oh, I will add too that I used a sketch from Shimelle Laine as the base of my LO :) Here is the sketch

And in case you need it click here and you can head over to her blog where I find HEAPS of inspiration!!

Thanks again for stopping by and happy crafting!!

The Fabulous Heidi Swapp!!

Hi again!!

As promised I am here with yet another challenge entry!! I am so proud of myself!! Haha!!

This time I worked on this challenge and chose the row 2nd from bottom :)

Here is my layout and I used all 5 elements from the bingo board - stitching, flairs, washi tape, sequins and bling!!

Again, so much fun playing!! Of course, it helps when you are so totally inspired by what you are scrapping.

I have used some of Heidi Swapp's Dreamy collection and also the Serendipity line. There are some bling and shiny stars from Freckled Fawn, that is a Maggie Holmes fabric frame and some gorgeous thickers from American Crafts - sorry for the not fantastic photo - dreary days here in Perth at the moment!!

Here are a couple of close ups :)

Again, thanks for stopping by and happy scrapping!!

A 3rd Challenge in 2 days!

Hello there again!!

I am back today with another of the Challenges over at D-Lish Scraps. Today I am sharing what has turned into the title page for our Wedding album. It has only taken 6 and a bit years! But all is good especially considering when we got married I was all of the opinion "Why would anyone want to waste their time scrapbooking?" Haha!! How things change!!

Anyways this is the challenge I have participated in

After lots and lots of pulling out products and playing (I was originally going to scrap a photo from Mother's Day this year!!) I came across the "Happily Ever After" chipboard piece that I have had in my stash for my wedding album. I printed out a photo that I LOVE and that we used for our Thank You's for after the wedding and off I went.

This is what I ended up with

All ingredients used and accounted for!! And yes, though the mini alphas are not on the list they were allowed :)

Here are a couple of close ups

And just for the record - I really am NOT a fan of the "Best Day Ever" PL cards - I mean seriously, how many "Best Day Ever's" can one person have??! But it was totally fitting for this page and I will more than likely use a few throughout my album when I do get around to actually DOING it!! Work in progress ;)

Tonight I have been working on my PL - have ALMOST completed week 25 - I just have 2 more cards to put together and few lines of journalling and then onto week 26!!

Again, thank you for stopping by, I hope you have enjoyed seeing my creations!!

Happy Crafting xx

Another Challenge LO

Hello again!!

As promised (thanks to scheduling in blogger!!) here is my 2nd entry for the D-Lish Scraps Birthday Party.

This entry is for this challenge using this mood board

As soon as I saw this board and Agnus's beautiful page I was inspired to FINALLY get around to creating the background that I had seen on another friends Instragram feed.

I had so much creating this particular LO but am so impatient!! I tried to heat set the gesso background so I could get the colour happening but it was taking (what seemed like!!) forever so I popped it aside and went on with my other LO.

And here it is

And here are a few close ups

I used the Heidi Swapp colour shines to create my rainbow: red (sweet cherry) and yellow (mustard) and pink (primrose) and green (mint green), orange (coral) and purple (I mixed teal, primrose and white) and blue (navy). I knew which photo I wanted to use and had the title picked out already using the gorgeous cork piece! Pulled out (well tipped the whole milk bottle out!!) some buttons, chose some washi and veneer pieces and stuck it all done. Then I got some shiny black thread and stitched each button into place.

So much fun!!

Thanks again for stopping by and I hope you like my LO!!

Happy scrapping, or colouring, or PL'ing or whatever it is you love to do ;)

It's Been A LONG while but I'm still about!!

Hello there my lovely followers!

I am so sorry that I have been so absent from blogging for so long. Things have gotten crazy around here with my 2 little guys. The big one is now at school 5 days a fortnight and the little one, well, he's 2 next month and quiet mischievous!!

I am still PL'ing and loving it though I am definitely struggling to "keep up" but am happy plodding along. Though I do figure when I do get "caught up" I will have more time to PLAY!! Which is exactly why I am here today!!

I have been playing along with D-Lish Scraps 5th Birthday Challenges and am here today to share a LO I made for this challenge. I used the LO as a sketch, lots of yummy layers and the muted colours for my inspiration from Tarrah's gorgeous LO! 

Here is my take on the challenge

And a bit of a close up

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you enjoyed looking at my page. I had heaps of fun playing and will be back either later today or tomorrow with another LO that I have finished today also for the D-Lish 5th Birthday Party!! I used this challenge for this LO but was inspired ages ago by another scrapbooking friend when she shared this on Instragram AGES ago. 

Happy Scrapping :)

Tiddly Inks Challenge 124

Hello there blog land!

It has been a wee while but life is pretty crazy around her through December and January! 

I am here sharing today a card I made for my big boy Jacob who turned 4 last Wednesday 15th which just so happens to fit in with the theme for this challenge - CAS. 

I have used my trusty copics and the gorgeous Din-o-mite stamp, some papers from my stash and some October Afternoon Mini Market alphas. 

Without further ado, here it is :)

I had a heap of fun colouring this up, a fairly new technique for me and I am so so happy with how it turned out!!

I would love a comment or 2 if you have a spare 5 seconds otherwise, thanks for stopping by!!
