Soccer


Ive been meaning to a do a LO on Mackenzie wanting to play soccer, for a while now. She loves having a kick in the backyard. She is looking forward to a new and bigger back yard to have some more room to kick. I used scrap paper again for this one, Papermania journalling pad, cheap flowers from Big W, Kaiser bling, Jolees soccer embellishments and American Craft thickers. Quite happy with how this one turned out, i really like the colours

well scraptivates colours are deep purple and white and their logo is butterflies..so thats's what I want you to use on your layout.You can add any other colours and embellies but keep your emphasis on this please.Happy scrapping,can't wait to see what you all come up with.Many thanks to Natalie for her prize of a $20 voucher for her store.

Im quite happy with how this LO turned out. Its the first time I have used the Prima flower vines. I used only scrap papers for this LO, including the outside shaped piece, from Kaiser. And i think even the paper doily is from when I went to the local coffee shop. I also used Bella chipboard, Papermania journalling paper, ribbon, kaiser bling, Making Memories stickers. I chalked around a butterfly shape in the top left hand corner.

Born 2 Create challenge sponsored by scrapncraftwitht







I made this LO, called Dance like no one is watching, for a challenge at
Born2Create.ning.com
The challenge is sponsored by Tanya over at Scrapncraftwitht
http://www.scrapncraftwitht.com.au/
She is donating $20 to spend in her store, so jump over to B2C and check out the challenge.
The requirements for this challenge were:
lots of tearing,
mesh,
something created from tissue paper and/or raffia
transparency
some sewing
Bling
Felt

So Ive shown a few close ups so you can see that i met all the criteria. I made that little birds nest out of a raffia/ribbon type material. Ive had it in my stash for years and years. Ive used transparency with the little deer stamps down the bottom left corner and also on a rub on near the birds nest. Felt owl and stitching on the branch he is sitting on. Bling everywhere and lots of tearing and inking.

This is a just because LO i did called There Were 5 in the Bed. I used some of the new Stampin Up paper. This photos was when my youngest was just a couple of days old. Its just a simple LO, but i dont mind it

Friendship album



































































Ive finally finished (and wrapped) this friendship album that I have made for my friend's 35th bday. Normally I like to make my LOs and OTP stuff very bulky, but i decided to keep this one pretty simple. Im reasonably happy with how it turned out. i have used beads on the ring of the album, which says 35 and also her name (KATE). I used my new Stampin Up papers for this album and my new Neighbours stamp set that I got free from Stampin Up. I also used some Magnolia images that I coloured with my stampin up markers

My fave singer challenge - Debs Creations





I did this LO, from our recent trip to Brissy to see ACDC in concert, for the challenge over at Deb's Creations on our fave singer. This is my second entry in her challenge, the first one was of the time when we went to Pearl Jam's concert. So anyway, I wanted to keep this page pretty minimal, but of course i couldnt help but put a flower on the page :). So i layered it up and put some glitter over the flower layers. I used a chain that i got off one of my daughters clothes, that the tags come on. In the top photo, its a bit blurry, but its a big blow up of Rosie.


You can check out the challenge at
Deb has an online store attached to that ning site with some really cool stamps, like Magnolia, Kraftin Kimmie, Whiff of Joy, Wags N Whiskers and plenty more. So check it out

This LO, called Slow Down, is for a challenge at my LSS in Toowoomba - TCs That Craft Shop. I was given 4 pieces of Kaiser paper, from the Imagine range, a piece of ribbon and a bling letter. Im really happy with how this LO turned out. The photo isnt the best, so I wanted to keep the focus on the photo as much as possible. So I didnt really layer too much paper, just did a bit of 3D work with some of the flowers i cut out of the pp. I cut the bling letter up and used it on my 3D flowers. I used liquid pearls on the leaves and the butterfly down the bottom is rubbed onto the acetate that the rubons are stuck to. I hope Im allowed to do that with the challenge.
