Mystical black framing challenge

 Julie set us a challenge to use black frames around items on our layout. 

This is Norfolk Island Cemetery and my title card is tongue in cheek. The night before we did a ghost tour of the cemetery with one of the "ghosts' telling us stories. I matted in black plus used a tassel and a black shaped journal tag. I need to buy a new white ink pen for my journalling.

Sketches in Thyme-Guest Designer

 After winning a challenge, I was featured this month at Sketches in Thyme.

The sketch allows for a few photos to be used, so I used 4 of Canowindra where I stopped for petrol on my Country Town trip. I didn't have long to look around but it was a step back in time for me. The buildings are all 1930's or earlier.

Enter the challenge before the end of the month and you might be the next designer.

Scrap room -Freaky Fast Formula

 

I used this formula to cut into some more kit papers and create another layout. 

While we were on Norfolk Island the took us up to Captain Cook monument where we had a cooked breakfast. The view from there is spectacular and we enjoyed the company of our fellow travellers.

 On my layout I have used a set of alphas that are almost all used. When it came to spell breakfast I realized I had a few letters missing. I've used "invented spelling" and put Breccy.

Lasting Memories -Big and small

 

Lasting memories want big and small on a layout.

I've used big alphas for the first 3 words and then smaller chipboard letters to follow it.

My subheading is also small. 

A dog in a utility is a classic sign that a farmer is in town,hence my title. The dog was pretty friendly actually.

Scrap our stash

 PLUN

The word PLUN originated from Pitcairn Island and means banana.

 While we were on Norfolk Island they made plun for us to try. 

It is a mixture of green banana, coconut and flour and becomes a slice, a bit like banana bread.

This is for the challenge at Scrap our stash

I've made a layout using the vertical line row 4. 

Sticker,twine,colour blue, kraft,mist/ink.

I got into a mess with the mist, so my spotted paper is covering the disaster. 

There is Kraft used as my background. 

The spotted paper is blue and green and I used a matching tag (with twine). 

My stickers are the strip down the left hand side, plus the alphas and green dots from the alpha set.

Scraproom group FLAG challenge

 My next page is for the Flag challenge at the scraproom group.

I've used

F= fussy cut car,flourishes on the paper 

L= lace border strip

A=Adventure,automobile

G= green washi tapes.

The best part about this is it is wedding paper and I covered up "I do" with the red car.

Scrap the Boys -Numbers

 

The challenge at Scrap the Boys this month is numbers.

I've used them as an embellishment on this layout of the Bee Keeper at Norfolk Island I used a dark grey paper bella sugar candy which had glittered spots on it's surface. I found matching silver numbers in my stash to decorate my page.

I matted on yellow paper to make the banana stand out and a pale blue cardstock for my other mat.

There are also numbers on the tag on the right below the honey jar.

All the items on this layout are in my Counterfeit kit.
