Scrap room Freaky Fast Formula.

I chose older papers for this layout in brown tones. I then used cut off strips with colours from the photos to cross over the papers. I added a journaling box and tag and brad to complete the layout.

Elliebelles corner and Scrapping 4 fun

At Ellibelles corner they want something starting with B.
I've had this die cut for a while and decided to use it as it features Birthday. (B word).
I kept the background neutral. A few tiny rhinestones were added on some of the flowers.

******************************************************

At Scrapping4fun challenges (another DT I used to be on) , they have an anything goes challenge.

I've decided to scraplift this idea I saw on Pinterest.

I've turned mine 90 degrees.

I managed to use 3 curly paper clips and some mini words I own.

And close up of me holding the umbrella.

Tales from the craft room plus 2 Crafty Critter crazies

At Tales from the craft room they want cards for kids.

2craftycrittercrazies.  and Through the purple haze want animals.

I had 2 animal stickers from last month's kit that I hadn't used so decided to create a 7th birthday card using them.
The striped tag is from MME packaging I cut up.
The background paper, stripe and sentiment are a new Kaisercraft brand of papers I was given, named Morning Dew.

Cardz4guyz and let's create

At Cardz4guyz they are asking to be inspired by a Beatles song.
I've chosen Ticket to Ride.

I had made the tag already using scraps plus a wood veneer pair of glasses and some enamel dots.

I used a coloured brad to adhere it to the card.

Then I remembered I had some tickets, kept from a trip to a theme park years ago.

I used them as a strip across the card.

My great nephew's birthday is coming up and he's musical. I wonder if he will make the connection to the Beatles.

*********************************************************************************

At Let's create challenges they asked for layers.

I had a Prima packaging here that actually featured words down the side, so I turned that into a tag and added it to the card. I've also used a blue brad, some ribbon, a typewriter sticker and a scrap of patterned paper from a layout I made the other day.

Hope you like it!

Jingle Belles and Unstampabelles.

At Jingle Belles this week they want peace on cards.

I started by fussy cutting a dove from an old Christmas card (recycling). I chose a fairly plain patterned paper and sentiment to go with the card.
At the last minute, I decided it needed some bling so put 2 gold stars around the sentiment.

My second card is for unstampabelles, where they want an aperture.

I made a tag and cut a circle in the centre.

I mounted it on a Christmas paper background then added a blue star plus some red bling and my sentiment.

Sketch and scrap plus 123

At Sketch n scrap they have this sketch

Here's my layout.

I used neutrals for most of this layout and added a pop of colour with my alphas.

The 3 brads plus tags also added a small nod to the colours in the photo.

We stop at Heatherbrae pies on our way to Canberra, usually for morning tea. They make the tastiest cakes and pies. (not tiger pies though!)

and at 123 challenges there is this colour combo and sketch.

The floral is a Pink Paislee paper and I used my dottariffic pen to do the circles.

The 3 brads are from MME now and then series.

I fussy cut my title.

I've had a hiatus from scrapping and it is time to get back into it again.

Artastic challenge blog

At Artastic challenge they want us to use a sense of humour in some way.



Back in 2009 my daughter and I toured around Europe. Long before phones with cameras I captured most of our holiday on my camera.. We would stop somewhere and it became common for me to say "hang on to this for me" while I got the magic shot.

In Venice we were in St Mark's square and she automatically put out her arms and leg for me to give her the bags etc. Hence this layout.

I've used mainly black and white again with a touch of silver.
