Get Picky



My entry for Get Picky this time started with a gold rubon i won in another challenge.It provided the ideal corner for the sketch.The 2 photos feature family members admiring the new baby.I've misted the edges and drawn a frame around using gel pen.Then after inking the patterned paper with pinecone placed it in the centre.I've used a Li'l Davis flower saying "Forget me not", which is appropriate.The other crysanthemum's were stamped using blue paint then cut out and buttons sewn in the middle.I've added extra butoons and embellies from Jillybean soup.

Imagine a card


I made this card from marbelled paper,then added organza ribbon.The chipboard leaves are from scrapmatts new garden items,they were inked gold.My final touch is a "Rusty Pickle" label saying "Imagine" which I found in my stash.I thought this card would suit male or female.

FS2S and Valentine's day layout.


My collage of pictures started with a chipboard frame from Scrapbookingncraft which i painted black. This was then used to place photos of various sizes of the whole family taken on Christmas Day.There are 10. I filled the remaining spaces with felt hearts,a large chipboard button featuring hearts and a brad saying cherish.I'm contemplating hanging this in the house as we are all in it.Hope you like it.

Kellogs at A2Z


A man and wife were having breakfast outside their caravan surrounded by several sulphur crested cockatoos.One in the tree fork looked particularly keen.It reminded me of that kellogs advertisement,hence this layout. I've used A2Z's fence which was inked with Distress ink(Old paper).I've outlined it in black as well. The 3 flowers on the layout i made myself from scraps of lace cut into circle shapes.Instead of a bling flourish on the right hand side of the photo., I dipped a plastic hair roller in green paint then rolled it onto the paper.It looks like tiny footprints!The red pp has birds on it as well.

Sketches with a twist


I've found a new challenge blog this month called "sketches with a twist" This month it was the colour green.The 3 photos featured Annabelle on Christmas day(plus Charlotte!) so I used pink with a soft green in the ribbon and title. The buttons and Christmas tree are from kaisercraft as is the green paper.

Aussie scrapjacked


I chose to scrapjack Andrea this month. Her layout "Lunch with a friend" couldn't have been better as that's exactly what photo I had.These are 2 friends Margaret and Lyn.
There are tiny round brads instead of heart shaped ones on the bottom left.There is a bow instead of a kite above the journalling and no border punch down the left hand side as I don't own any.Otherwise it is true to the original, except in different colours.
