Cupcakes at Lollipop ladies

I went very bright for this cupcake card,which is for Lollipop ladies this time.I've used 1 lot of glitter on the icing.2 paper doileys and 3 ribbon strips.Don't you love the tiny cupcakes on that ribbon? It is so sweet. The actual chipboard cupcake is from Scrapmatts. I painted the patty pan blue then used metallic paint in stripes to form the pleated effect.The cake section and white icing were inked.The background paper reminds me of rainbow sprinkles,often found on cupcakes and the 2 word stickers go with the whole idea.

Bird is the word in colour

Here is a layout featuring the word "colour" for Bird is the word.I saw this wonderfully coloured cow at Floriade and knew a layout would follow.This was a fun layout to do as there were no restrictions to colour choices.

let's capture these

I've discovered a new sketch site named Let's capture these.Each Saturday a new sketch is given.The above layout entitled "Love pink" featuring my sister Merryn and my daughter,Erica at about aged 2.5.She was a pinkaholic! Everytime I dressed her there had to be pink on her somewhere.I celebrated this fact on this layout. I've used a kit bought from SFS featuring Bella Boulevard papers "Sunny Happy Skies".I've added some cast off frills from a hem of a dress,then hand stitching,in pink of course.Final touches are a pink button and butterfly.

Visiting Pro Hart at Artastic

This month's challenge at Artastic was using Pro Hart's dragonfly painting. It just so happened I visited Broken Hill last year and saw the original. I've used 2 photos on my layout.One of me at the gallery and the other of the dragonfly painting(behind glass) at B.H. airport.Our extra criteria was to use insects.The background paper features butterflies and I've added 3 Scrapmatts butterflies(inked in black) with rhinestones on their wings.I've also added some dragonflies brads and finished with side ribbon featuring ladybirds

Gina and me just for fun.

I purchased a "hometown" kit from Scrapbooking from scratch recently and had used some of it to create earlier layouts,Fancy that & Frizzy Chic.There were some papers and ribbon left over so decided to do this layout featuring my cousin's daughter,Gina and myself when I was around 6 months pregnant with Erica.I love the old fashioned look of these colours.

Stuck sketch 2

Still doing pages for my Cook Islands album 8x8.I used Stuck's 2nd sketch for June as the basis for this layout.The original features butterflies, but they don't match the topic, so I've used a chipboard shape from A2Z scraplets(won as a prize).I've used a silver starfish plus a blue tiny star as my embellishments and paper tearing to continue the idea of waves in the photo.
