Pink's my favourite colour



This was my dd chant from when she could talk to about age 11.She was a pink-aholic. I used 2 hand made flowers plus a marbled speciality paper.The basic grey letters I painted over to stand out.

Colour room with Skippy





My entry for this week's colour room is a flashback to my childhood...in the 1960s.The biggest show on TV for kids to watch was Skippy .Dad took us to Waratah Park to visit Skippy and the other native animals.


I've used an alpha set that I won at a retreat plus a scrapmatts door.The brown background was lightly misted with candy apple by tattered angels then put through the cuttlebug for texture.I've cut DCMV paper to form a rustic frame around the photo.The pale pink spotted paper is 3 bugs in a rug and the bright pink is a textured paper. I dyed the old doiley offcut overnight with some red fabric to achieve the pale pink colouring.My flower is velvety.

Tara and mosaics




I've been mucking about with scraps of paper resulting in a mosaic page.I used green square letters as my title then punched butterflies a ribbon rosette and celtic chipboard(Twiddlybits) as it went with the theme.That tiny speck on the hill is me!

Aussie scrapjacked of Julie's layout.







At the recent SFS retreat Peta's daughter offered hand massages to help raise money for Red nose day.It was very relaxing to soothe your hands just before bed after a long day of scrapping.



I chose apricot shades to match the hands on this layout and neutral coloured crochet flowers.I finished it with a felt branch.

A2z entry at Arthur's seat Edinburgh

This layout began with me misting over outlines from lettering along the top and bottom of the card.I then used A2Z's Cherish word plus some BG paper and punched butterflies.The mini letters in orange added to the journalling and hey presto it was done!
