Little Wanderer

Hello,

I had time yesterday to enjoy some scrapbooking. I have joined in with the challenge over at Scrap The Girls.

The mood board was all about blue,

My page of my youngest, who loved to wander about and would be in her own little world wherever we would go.

I had fun with misting and adding textures for this page. Some stamping, ribbon and even a few cross stitches to add some interest and fun.

Thanks for popping by.

Perfect Day

Wow, hello for 2018!!!
I always enjoy looking forward in a new year, to start some things a fresh and to continue enjoying other things from year to year. May 2018 be a year of blessings for you.

I'm happy to say ARTastic Challenge Blog is continuing for 2018 and I'll be on the Design Team again. This month the challenge is inspired by this painting;

with the criteria being, to use a vacation photo(s).

Last year January, we got to enjoy 2 weeks camping with friends in a special spot in Western Australia, where the beaches are just beautiful. Pure white sand and crystal clear water, made a day at the beach, the thing to do every day☺︎.

This photo is of my 2 eldest chilling after being out surfing and body boarding.

My background is created by using water colour paint. I first painted it on acetate and then rubbed onto my page. For this page I also put a few watered down 'blobs' of paint on the my page and let them run down. The circles are created with modelling paste and the triangles are created with stamping ink dabbed on using a stencil. My embellishments are mostly from D-lish Scraps.

We would love to see your creations over at ARTastic this month and through-out the year☺︎.

Thank you for popping by, and happy scrapping.

Carefree

Hello,
     today I am back to share with you a page I made for the challenge at 123 Challenge Blog.

These are colours I wouldn't normally use together, actually I hardly ever use orange, but it was fun to go out of my normal colour scheme and I was surprised how quickly it came together.

I have included the words you and beautiful in my feature journalling. I used paper as my background which I hand stitched around to create the lines from the sketch. Flowers, circles and some crocheting, all to create a fun and bright page, to portray exactly how my youngest is!😊

Thank you for popping by, and happy scrapping.

Cool Memories

Hello,

I have made a page for sketch challenge at Scrap the Boys challenge blog.

Water colour paint background with stamping and for the circle element of the sketch, I did it in pen and added some arrows.  My arrows and stars are wooden elements bringing some fun to the page. I find boy embellishments that bit harder than embellies for girl pages.

Thanks for popping by☺︎

Exploring

I'm going through my big stack of photos and have committed to scrapping them, instead of always grabbing the recent photos and hopefully I'll get through them sooner or later ☺︎. With 4 children, it might take a while!

This page is for the challenge at Stuck?! Sketches.

My page;

I've gone with a very simple background of just mist splatters. I'm enjoying creating pages with lots of white space☺︎. It was a great page to use up some scraps of my papers and some little embellishments.

Thanks for popping by and wishing you happy scrapping times☺︎.

Long Time Friends

Hello,

I am back for October with my DT page for ARTastic Challenge Blog. We would love to see more of your creative inspiration for our challenges, so please consider joining in☺︎.
This month the theme is friendships using this summery painting for inspiration,

For my page, I was inspired to use the light summery feel and scrapped a photo of my youngest with her friend who have long grown up with their friendship still strong and special to each other.

A few splatters of mist for my background, keeping it simple and then a number of cute embellishments. Some times I like to use less paper and more embellishments. I find paper doilies are a great way to fill in an empty space or to back embellishments.

I have been busy creating some more pages as I have my scrapbook mojo back and with more time on my hands than usual as all my children are away and busy these school holidays☺︎. 

I look forward to sharing some of these pages over the next few days/weeks.

Fun in the Sun

Hello and here in Australia, we welcome Spring. My favourite season, when the blossoms grow, the birds come back out of hiding to start singing again and especially nice, is the sun appearing more and more.
Today I have my DT page for ARTastic Challenge Blog to share,

This is the inspiration painting and the criteria is to include paint on your page,

For my page I went with the beach theme and the gorgeous bright colours,

I love using water colour for my background and I've used it today to create the water look behind my photo. I first paint a piece of clear acrylic and then rub it onto my page. Painting on acrylic first makes it easier to see if I like the look first before it goes down. For this page, I have also used modelling paint with a cross stencil and then misted some yellow over top.

My embellishments come from a D-lish embellishment kit, which make it so easy to put a page together.

Thank you for popping by and please head over to ARTastic and show your support☺︎
