Scrap the Girls February Challenge - "Love That Necklace"

Hi everyone - here is my entry for the February challenge over at Scrap the Girls.
The challenge was - 
LOVE in the TITLE
TURQUOISE as the DOMINANT COLOUR and CHIPBOARD

 I used this beautiful chipboard frame and sprayed some Glimmermist to make my brick wall
Another gorgeous little chipboard frame and word - I thought it fitted just beautifully with the larger frame
Coulldn't do a layout without at least some flowers!!!!  I stamped these cute butterflies on cardstock and then cut them out.

"Once Upon a Sketch" Challenge Entry - "Gotta Love That Boy"

Hi everyone - this is my entry in the current challenge over at Once Upon a Sketch .  This is my beautiful grandson D'Arcy.  I had fun splashing paint around distressing edges and stitching
I just love these pinwheels made on my Cuttlebug
I always admired anyone who was brave enough to write on their pages so I bit the bullet and hand wrote my tag this time.
Thanks so much for dropping by

2012

Hi everyone - here is my page for the current challenge over at "Once Upon a Sketch".















This is a fabulous sketch to work from and I could indulge my love of flowers (I don't think you can ever have too many.  My thanks to Erin Blegan and Natalie May for the idea to use both a colour and a sepia photo.















I have used some hand made flowers in this layout - really easy to make using my Cuttlebug.

123 December Challenge - "Love Makes The World Go Round"

Hi everyone - here is my entry in the December Challenge at 123 Challenge.  This month the challenge was - the colour marigold, the word "make" and make your own anything.  My "make your own anything" once again gave me the opportunity to play with my second love, parchment craft.  I made the doyley and the butterfly.

I really love doing the fine fiddly work in parchment craft and I've also done a lot of fussy cutting on this page

Black With 2 December Challenge - "Jingle Bells"

Hi everyone - here is my page for the December challenge over at Black With 2.  The challenge was black with red and green and a touch of gold or silver.  I had a lot of fun with some paint techniques on this one.

My favourite border punches, some flowers and a little bit of sparkle and I think it all works really well.
