Grinning. and not so happy.

Just a quick post to say I'm a grinner again on Aussie SCrapjacked with the layout I did using the misted bandage.
Also unhappy that my white lacey Christmas card won on another site but no prize has been forthcoming.

Kraft it up and pink and love

Petaloo flowers started this layout off then 3 cards from Pink Paislee stapled to the edge in a group followed.The background paper featured spots so I put grey c/s through the cuttlebug with swiss dots & inked it in grey.
Then I found the quote which says "As I comfort you and hold you in my arms know that because of you my heart in brightness beams.I love you unconditionally my blessed baby and wish you the best of dreams". As she is 25 now, I can look back and still echo those thoughts.
I lastly added A2Z scraplets "You are one of a kind" with a tiny pink bird and thickers saying Love you" plus a pin featuring a diamante pink butterfly.

White with one and two eggs.

It sounds like a breakfast order doesn't it?
My layout this month features one of my father's sayings.When asked what he wanted for dinner this was his reply.It has become a family joke.
I've used 4 doileys misted, then I added a muslin flower with lemon button to resemble a fried egg.Also on the layout are a scrapmatts basket of doodled eggs with a lemon ribbon bow,a basic Grey egg tag(to help translate) and some fussy cut flowers. The 2 small photos are my father,the large one is self explanatory!

Show us your stuff and Plum Jam

The paper matched perfectly with scrapmatts chipboard for this layout.They both feature cooking implements.I've used 3 photos instead of 2 ,in the Show us your stuff sketch this time.I've rolled the edges of the mat and used distress ink on the chipboard.
The story behind this is I have 2 Plum Jam recipes.One was for about 5 jars,the other makes around 15! When I saw plums cheap last week, of course I read the wrong recipe and ended up with too much.This is one of those everyday events layouts.

stuck?! sketches and Barbara

The sketch on Stuck?! inspired me to make this layout about a dear friend for nearly 40 years.She loves black/white and anything geometrical,so that started me off.I used stickers by Jenni Bowlin and made the pennant pieces into flowers.The triangle negatives for these formed the grid on the top left hand side.Under the black strip across I cut zeros from a sheet of fozz fonts by kaisercraft evenly divided into 2 making a scallopy border.The Jenni Bowlin chalkboard letters is appropriate since Barbara is a teacher.After adding a few bone buttons my layout is complete.

bird is the word Journey

This is a layout featuring Kaisercraft range of papers.I've used strips of 3 different PP plus an arrow cut from a 4th.The 3 photos were of a horseriding trip we went on in the Megalong Valley.We ended up at the hospital as one horse bit the girl in the lower photo on the leg,requiring stitches. It was more of a journey than we anticipated!

a win and another prize!

My layout for From Screen to scrap won first place. It was based on the movie "Miracle on 34th Street" and featured my mother with Santa.I also won some scrapping goodies on Artastic as well.Off to a great start this month.
