Scrap the Girls April Challenge - 'Especially Sweet"

Hi everyone - hereis my entry for the April Challenge over at Scrap The Girls.  This month's challenge was a sketch and the preference was 8.5" x 11".  I really enjoyed doing the smaller size.

Of course I had to fussy cut, and I've also created a 3D effect using Magic Mount.

Once Upon a Sketch March Challenge - "I miss..."

Hi everyone - here is my design for this month's challenge over at Once Upon a Sketch.  The criteria was - finish this sentence - "I miss...."

 

I've never stopped missing my little Miss Midge.  She was a gentle and loving companion for 16 years.

 

The journalling was part of the criteria - I have to say I loved doing this page but it did make me feel a little emotional.

I embossed using my cuttlebug, border punched around the page, distressed and scrunched.

 

Plenty of flowers and chipboard completed this layout

Scrap The Girls March Challenge - "Celebrate"

Hi everyone - here is my page for the latest challenge over at Scrap The Girls.  The criteria was Celebration.

 

I've indulged my love of fussy cutting on this page - these birds were so beautifully coloured I thought they complemented the photo beautifully

I incorporated the title in this gorgeous chipboard frame

 

I also had heaps of fun playing around with Gesso and Glimmermist.

Hi everyone - this is my latest layout for the Design Team over at Green Tara

 

The frame I used is part of a fabulous chipboard set that can be used for multiple pages.

 

I never get tired of Green Tara Flowers, they are just awesome.  The black and white flower in the middle is made with Green Tara ribbon. 

 More Green Tara ribbon.  Both these ribbons come in several different colours.

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
