Scrap The Girls

Hi There!

I hope you enjoyed your weekend! Hunter had a couple of mates around for a sleep over for his birthday. The boys were so well behaved & our first offcial sleep over went off without a hitch!

Scrap The Girls have a great challenge for September. The theme is sports or action shots. I used a photo of Kayla boogy boarding in Marlo earlier this year

I have used a mix of Websters pages Everyday Poetry & Yacht Club. To add a bit of texture to the background I used some torn pieces of tissue paper & stcuk it on with modge podge then I used some gesso & some honey comb mesh as a mask. I then sprayed & splashed some Gold Glimmer mist to give a gorgeous shine.

 The flowers & resin are a mix of Prima & the white floral spray is Green Tara

I have used my Martha Stewart Deep fan punch (one of my fav's!). The bobble trim is just from the $2 shop. The bloomer is Websters Pages which I dabbed some gesso to tone the blue colour down

I was really excited to be featured at Once Upon A Sketch & The Color Room last week!

Thankyou to everyone that  joined in the blog hop! Thankyou for all of your gorgeous comments.

Thanks for looking!
Cheers

Scrap The Girls May Challenge

Hi There!

Well I am just scraping in with this one! I had set aside a bunch of cool challenges to do at a crop day but unfortunately Me & the kids were hit with gastro so I couldn't go! We had a rough 4 days in the house but everyone is healthy now & we're all back to normal (ie. crazy, loud, busy) The quiet house was a nice change of pace while everyone was sick though!

I really wanted to have  a go at the Scrap The Girls challenge because the theme is Sisters & I had a perfect Sister moment photo I wanted to scrap! The requirement was to use this quote " Having a Sister is like having a best friend you can't get rid of. You know whatever you do they'll still be there"

I have used a mix of alphas for the first part of the quote, & hand written the some (it is hard to see this in the big photo)

You can see some of the handwriting a bit better on this one. The Alphas stickers are Prima Songbird collection. The fabric alphas are also Prima. All the flowers are Prima too. I had a lovely big piece of lace left over from making my Brothers wedding invites which adds a nice girly touch.

The paper is a mix of Kaisercraft Miss Nelly (still luv this collection!) & MME Lost & found

I have added some Prima canvas resist pieces that I have kept simple & just misted
Not long until reveal day for My Creative Sketches! Make sure you pop back on the 5th for the reveal & details on the Prima contest!

Thanks for looking!

MME Follow Your Heart

Hi There!

I have been having fun playing with my March LE Kit from MCS. It was filled with MME Follow Your Heart. I absolutely adore this collection! I luv the hexagon patterns &the gorgeous pastel colours throughout the papers. I have scrapping pages for my new SIL's wedding album. I have entered the current MME blog 33 challenge

Based on this sketch



The layered stickers in this collection are so pretty! The flowers are Prima tiny tots. These are so cute!

The mini alphas are Glitz Design & the pnk alphas are Prima. I have weaved some ribbon through the apper doily to add some more colour

Hexagons appear to be the next big trend at the moment. I have fussy cut these hexagons from one of the patterned papers. I distressed & inked them & stuck half down with foam tape to give a bit of texture to the page

This next LO is for the new Scrap the Girls Blog Challenge. The criteria this month is to scrap a photo celebrating something. I chose to scrap a wedding photo

I have hand cut some banners as well as using a chipboard banner from the Follow your heart collection. The buttons are also part of Follow your heart.

The doily's are fussy cut from one of the patterned papers. The alphas are Prima
