I once was lost but now I'm found

Hi There!!

When MME realeased the Lost & Found 2 collection they all made me swoon!! Seriously all that glitter & beautiful vintage images are TDF!! I especially LUV the MME Lost & Found Christmas collection. I couldn't wait to use it on my xmas pics!
This first LO is for the Scrapz.Biz Biggest Loser Challenge Mission 3 & the Bird is the word blog. The challenge for Scrapz.Biz was to use at least 5 different patterned papers & scraplift yourself. Instead of scraplifting a whole LO of my own I scraplifted elements that I tend to use regulary in my work layers, distressed & inked squares, paper curls & banners. The word for BITW is Wonder which I used in the title.

** I just noticed the spelling mistake with surprise. OOPS!

This next LO was just for fun

Evie is a gorgeous girl but a bit cheeky. U never know if the naughty or nice baby is going to be around! We have likened her to a ferral cat at the moment! She makes a horrible shrill scream as she try to scratch your eyes out then the next minute she is full of laughs & cuddles. She certainly can hold her own against her big Brother & Sister!!

Thanks for looking!
Cheers

2012 celebrated in style!!

Hi There!!

The theme & journalling requirement at Once Upon A Sketch is New Years Eve. I have a heap of holiday photos that I want to scrap so this was a great chance to get started! This is the sketch

And my take on the sketch- I flipped the sketch so I could use a landscape size photo

For me a New Years Eve page has to be bright & loud. Pink Paisle Soiree was the perfect collection for this! I have used a big mash up of colours & patterns which is a bit different from my usual style but I really wanted to create a fun page!

 I used a butterfly from Spotlight, a Prima powder puff in white which I smudged some hot pink paint on. The other flowers are Prima & Kaisercraft

The Prima glitter stars was a great match as an embellishment.

Using a mix of alphas in colour & style & size gives the page a bit of a funky feel

I used some journal spots from the Crate Paper Emmas Shoppe collection

Thanks for looking!

New Year, Resolutions & Honourable Mentions

Hi There!!

I hope you all had a FAB xmas & New year!! I have been on holidays at Hamilton Island for the past week. We had a great time. It is so beautiful there. We went snorkelling on the Great Barrier Reef & got to feed the beautiful tropical fish!

While I was away I found out that I recieved an honourable mention for the Scrapbooking Memories Masters competition!! This was my first crack at Masters so I am pretty rapt to get a HM. This was the LO

I luv the colour combo of purple & teal with some black to make it pop! The paper is just some left over Websters Pages Ladies & Gents & Little Yellow Bicycle Clothsline. I have used some purple paint & just wiped it on roughly with my finger for texture. Then spltted some teal glimmer mist & stamped using a butterfly & script stamp

The big teal flower was handmade by cutting various size circles from teal material then melting the edges with a heat tool. I sprayed the doily with a teal glimmer mist & added some kindyglitz to the Bo Bunny butterfly trinket. all the flowers are Prima

This LO was a colour challenge I put together at Scrapz.Biz for the Scrap a Rainbow challenge. You still have plenty of time to enter. Entries close midnight 31st January. The more challenges you complete gives you more entires into the draw for the $20 & $10 voucher

I have used Bo Bunny Father Christmas collection, Prima vine & Prima resin frame which are all available at Scrapz.Biz

Once Upon A Sketch / BITW

Hi There!

Xmas is almost here. EEK! I hope you're all nearly organised! I mangaged to squeeze in a bit of scrapping time & got a couple of challenges finished.

The first one is for Once Upon A Sketch based on this sketch.

Here is my take on the sketch

I have used some Teresa Collins papers & some Bo Bunny Noel paper

The journalling criteria was to write at least 2 sentences on what you look forward to most in December. I chose xmas. Especially xmas morning! I luv to look at the sleepy little faces with their hair all messed up as they start to unwrap pressies! My journalling says " I Luv December! It means xmas day, presents, decorations, glitter, bows & paper. But most of all, I look forward to watching the sleepy smiles turn to huge grins of excitement!'

This next LO is for the new BITW challenge. The word is time

I have used a mix of papers frome the Scrapcake, Prima & Glitz. A a big mix of blooms from Bo Bunny, Prima & Petaloo

And lastly this is my entry for the My Creative Scrapbook November challenge which was to use a pocket on your page

I used some Glotz papers & wotnots. For the pocket I white washed a kraft envelope then stamped it with a butterfly/script Kaisercraft stamp then added some liquid pearls & a Prima resin. Inside the pocket is a letter from Evie's Godmother

I also wanted to share a mini 'toot'. My LO was shared on the Prima Blog for the November BAP winners. Check out the announcement here http://prima.typepad.com/prima/2011/12/winner-winner.html. Congratulations to the lovely Delaina Burns who was the winner & to all the other girls that had LO's featured too!

Thanks for looking!

Scrapz.Biz challenges

Hi There!

I have just posted a new Base Jump challenge over at Scrapz.Biz today. This is such a fun concept! You are given a base for your LO to get you started & you create your page from there! It makes creating so easy because you get a head start on the initial design!

Here is a sneak of my finished page

 The theme this week was I'm dreaming of a .......... I CANNOT get the song out of my head now LOL!

Last week I did a Sketch challenge. Here is the sketch I created

And my page

The theme was Wild about......... So I went with the fact that Kayla & Hunter are wild about each other! At the moment they love each other to pieces & have so much fun together BUT I feel like we are headed for a change! There are more & more little niggles at each other every day so I thought I had better scrap them together while they are still all loved up!
I have used My Minds Eye Stella & Rose collection. The navy blue & mustard is a lovely colour combination which suits girl & boy pages. the flowers were fussy cut from patterned paper & the rosette is handmade

And lastly at the start of the month I did a Scrap It Blind challenge. I can now reveal my full page

I loved using the Pink Paislee Nantucket collection! The teal & peach colours are gorgeous together

The ephemera is great value. I used tons of it on this page & still have heaps left over!

I used some Torquise Glimmermist on the background & handcut the banner
Thanks for looking!
