Lasting Memories SCRAPS challenge.

 

Lasting Memories newest challenge is to use scraps to make a layout. This one is a Christmas layout and features Annabelle my great niece.

On here I used scraps of patterned paper, some vintage laces that I only had a small pieces of. I also had a couple of random flowers to finish off a set so put those on as well.

The scrapmatts chipboard and music stamp weren't scraps but add to my overal look of the layout.

Lasting memories stars or hearts challenge.

 The challenge at Lasting Memories is to use stars or hearts.

My daughter had this photo of Tiffany's store in New York so I went with the sparkly idea and chose stars.

I decided to make a shaker box using glitter (my pet hate). After constructing it and adhering to the background layer, I stamped stars around the frame. I kept my other embellishments to a minimum so the shaker box would stand out.

Alphabet challenge and Snarky stampers.

 Today I have made this card for Alphabet challenge.

We could use any animal, so I chose a kookaburra.

I fussy cut out the bird then adhered him to the background. I used 2 different papers on this as I'm using scraps

While I had the scissors out I made a second card. This one is for The sisterhood of snarky stampers. .

They want a Happy Birthday card. I used a platypus picture on this card and framed it with a darker blue.

Bash those scraps at Sketch and Scrap.

 At Counterfeit Kit challenge I have finished my kit. I only had a few small embellishments left over.

 I made some white tags.

Then I turned them into tags using my embellishments.

From there I made 2 cards. First one is for Sketch and Scrap.

Here's the other one.

White with one.

 At White with one we are asked to use red, blue or yellow. I chose yellow.

I decided to scrap this church I saw in Mexico. The altar was painted gold and very beautiful.

Using a mask I painted through a hexagon pattern.I stamped lightly with a memories stamp. I matted my photos in grey. I found strips of yellow papers from my kit. I used a border punch on one. Then I added a small journal tag plus 2 tabs. My title is in gold as well.

Li'l red wagon

 Li'l red wagon are celebrating Earth day and want us to recycle or reuse.

I saw this idea on a facebook post and decided to try it.

I've used branding strips from scrapbooking paper and made a card with a patchwork feel.

It took lots of gluestick and some patience but turned out quite good I thought.

Grunge layout.

 I've had this photo since November waiting for the mood to strike me. Now my counterfeit kit is finished I got busy this morning.

It was a group of ATV vehicles I saw in Aruba. I started by inking the edges of the Kraft background paper.I found some grey paper and matted the photo. I also located a few scraps to suit, including a piece of corrugated card. The packet of cogs is from Memory Maze so I inked those and arranged them on my page. I added a large black brad and a slice of wood from a tree die cut. My ATV title was the last thing to go on here.
