Dizzy Izzy's challenge

The February challenge at Dizzy Izzy Scrapbooking is to include flags/banners or bunting on a layout. Email your entries to dizzyizzy@y7mail.com

I have this Australia flag left over from last Australia Day, that my girls had when we went out for the day. I kept it cause I knew it would look good on a layout. So here it is. I painted the background cardstock with red paint and glued the flag on. I used a lot of recycled items, netting from a Mcdonalds toy, blue ribbon stuff from my husbands name thingy when he went to conference and a strip of denim cut off someone's clothes. I coloured the chipboard title with water colour pencils.

Scrap Sanity School challenge

Scrap Sanity's February challenge is to create a school layout. I havent printed any photos of the girls heading off for their first day of school this year. So I have used some photos of my eldest girl when she received an award last year for being a friendly student.
I used Kaiser patterned paper, mini alpha stickers, rub ons and journal block, Jolees stickers, Sam I Am's crochet doily, fimo car, and flower and chipboard pieces.
