When dinosaur lived at a2z

Here's my entry for A2Z scraplets monthly challenge. These 2 photos are soooo old my daughter would say "was that when dinosaurs were alive?" as a joke.
I loved doing this one and I finally used that baby dinosaur chipboard.

Colour room

This layout is for The color room.Even though there is a touch of brown here,the colours were blue,lilac,pink and yellow.I used an old doiley which has pink/blue in it plus flowers in the nominated shades.The flourish was glimmer misted with yellow then blue to create the colours that match the cameos.I added some yellow brads and blue buttons.

This was on the Ponte Vecchio in Florence where there were many lovely jewellers shops.

Show us your stuff with a bond.

This photo is a friend who I've known since 1973 and myself.

The layout has backing paper which I handmade. I painted over a stencil with grey gesso&paint mixed together.I then glimmer misted over a chipboard flourish.The other 3 patterned papers are chatterbox,october afternoon and DCWV.I hand stitched around the top and left hand side and added a button near the curled paper.The flowers are from Scrapbook'n'craft.The chipboard letters I bought at a local bargain store,the butterflies are from Art Stamps.com.au ,the hatpin was sent to me in a kit from whatisoldisnewagain and the chipboard card border is from scrapmatts. And there....I've managed to do a "plug" for the 3 scrapbooking shops/sites I've worked for.

Do you recycle???

Today I visited my LSS and took her a whole lot of 12x12 bags that papers/kits etc came in whether they are cellophane or plastic.Also I keep the smaller size bags that alphas or rubons come in as they are handy to re-bag bits with eg all the brown prima tiny flowers I have left. I also took a huge bag full of those to my lSS too.in return I received 2 pages of Graphic 45 paper for Free!!!!(I wasn't expecting that).
I also keep used postage stamps for a local church mission and recycle christmas,birthday cards to preschools for the children to cut up.
I've made 3 layouts from the Rusty Pickle papers I won on FS2S to send to the flood victims.(see previous post).

Helping the flood victims by scrapping

On this website http://risingwatersqueensland.blogspot.com/ Sharryn Thompson is asking you to scrap a page minus the photo that flood victims can put in their albums.They will add their own photos.If you follow the link you will see all the details.It is a good idea.

Scrapmatts stuff for January.

Tomorrow I'm due to upload my work for January but can't resist putting it on here too!

If you're looking tonight don't tell anyone.(I never could keep a secret.) My first is a twinchies frame featuring scrapmatts chipboard and rhinestones.I used graphic45,Sass Lass,Bella and Rusty pickle papers; then put scrapmatts chipboard hearts(inked),corsets,dress frame on the top.I thought it could become the front cover of a sketchbook for my costume designing daughter.

The second is a kaisercraft Christmas bauble album.I took photos of every family member then did a page for each person with a Christmas theme.again,I used Scrapmatts reindeers,santa and his sleigh and gold clock.

Stuck! Antiques grab

I based this on Stuck! sketches for January. It features 3 scrapmatts chipboard items,the clock,the lamp-post and the dress form.This antiques shop was so intersting and had many larger items for sale as well as little bits and pieces.The leather shop nearby had the old horsecart out the front .
That antique lace was in my grandmothers stash and the patterned paper is SandyLion "tile" which I've had for several years.
