Taking Selfies

Hi there,

I have managed to squeeze a page in before the end of the year. We had a quiet Christmas allowing us some catch up time at home including a bit of scrapbooking.
I did my page for the mood board challenge at Scrap the Girls.

Such deep colours which I hope comes up on my page.

I watercolored my background and instead of using the butterfly stencil for paint etc. I used it to draw around making the butterflies. I have seen this done around the scrapbook blog world and love the effect. The brickwork behind the photo I made with chipboard on my cuttlebug and then painted it red. 

A cluster of flowers with a wooden butterfly to finish off my page. I am proud that I have finally managed to complete a page with lots of white space. Normally I end up filling some of it in.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy New Year and may God bless your 2016.

See you for more Scrapbooking fun next year

Girls

Hello,

Today I have a page for the challenge at Scrap Around The World. Sadly this will be their last challenge but I must say they are leaving with a beautiful bang with this mood board,

The page I created using so many of the inspirations, but mainly the beautiful berry colour,

 I used water colour paints for my background, painting first on an acrylic sheet and then pressing onto my paper. Did some background script stamping and then layered my photo several times. 

I love this doily die cut, so dainty and pretty. I cut out the arrows from white card and then water painted them in the same colour as I used for the background. The buntings are fussy cut from a paper pad and then I tied them with some string and a bow. A few gold sequins for a bit of bling!

I also like to thank Pinterest because I found beautiful pages for inspiration; so many creative and amazing people out there.

Thank you for popping by and hope to see you soon again.

Christmas Concert

Hello December and hello to the holiday/busy season.
ARTastic has a challenge to fit in with the festive season but the painting can be used in any way you feel inspiration☺︎.

The criteria this month is Gold. 

I have concentrated on Christmas and scrapped a photo of 2 of my kids at a complimentary Christmas concert at the local caravan park my parents stay at when they come up.

 I have stuck to the colours from the inspiration painting and did a lot of inking and texture painting to create my background. I had bought gold glitter paper where the glitter doesn't come off and used this for most of my elements on my page including my title. 

Close up of my gold star and frame which I used from die cuts. I also used background paper with the negative cuts of stars which I had punched to use on other parts of my page.

Thank you for supporting ARTastic this year and I look forward to being DT for ARTastic again next year. It looks to be a good year.
