Scrap the Boys March challenge

Two challenges complete in one day and the night is still young lol.....
This month at STB the challenge was to use LIFE IS GOOD in the title, to have red somewhere on the page and handwritten journaling..... Why not have a go at the challenge and see what you come up with
Here is my take...
This is a little grungier that I would usually go.... trying new ideas and My ideas for this have come from one of Wendy Smith LO with the star masking and Crystal Goulding with her paint splatters, Thanks girls for the inspiration.
So for the challenge requirements, not only does the page have red in the photo I have use red pearls (and the orange is pretty close LOL) the hand written journaling I created my own title free hand and have a little journaling as well.
Good luck with all your own creating

March Scrap the Girls Challenge!!

This month's challenge was to scrap a celebration and what bigger occasion is there but a wedding!!!

This photo was taken at My Wedding in 2008, coming up to 4 years in just a few day. In the pic is 3 generations with My Mum, My daughter Brittany and Me. These are the kind of pics that you look back on in the future as such a special time.
Showed Mum the LO and she loved it but forgot that I had made one for her birthday a few years ago using the same pic, this one has a little more technique I think LOL. You all know what I'm talking about have a look at LO that you created a few years ago and see how your style has changed.

March Sketch Challenge at Anna's Craft Cupboard.

Loving all the sketch challenges and can't go past the great one at Anna's Craft Cupboard this month. Sketch by the very talented Wendy Smith why not give it ago Here!!



And here is My take on the Challenge...
Love these pics of my Boy and his love for our Boxer Arlie. Was actually watching the play this morning and was trying to remember what it was like before we had dogs a couple of years ago. How different it is for kids to grow up with animals, Such a great companion for him!!
On this LO I have used Echo park a boys life, RW Laser cuts chipboard title, Dusty Attic chipboard Cog, Kaiser rub-ons, Gummies rubber stickers, Kaiser corrugated tag, Twine, Tim Holtz crackle paint and A Lil' Something fabric heart.
Off to find my next challenge for this month, Scrap that song has a good one this month, Hits song from year or decade of your birth. Lots of good song in 1981!! Which one to pick is the question???
TFL have a great week!!

Project for my Stampin Up workshop this weekend

Well I have been busy trying to create something for a Stampin Up workshop in Queenstown this weekend I find is so hard to create sometime when I  have to compare to when I want to..... But eventually I came up with this thanks to the very cute duck cased from http://www.lovesrubberstamps.com/ . So time will tell how the class goes with making time one....

With Easter getting closer who can go past a Easter basket just need the eggs to fill it now!!!


Hope that the girl enjoy this one I think that it is very cute, All products used are from Stampin Up!!

Have a great Easter (when it arrives very unusual for me to be thinking ahead he he)

White with one Feb challenge!

This months challenge at WW1 was to create using lemon and 3 photos. Didn't think it would be that hard but found in my huge stash that I didn't have a lot of yellow stuff, Not sure why guess that yellow is not a colour I usually use i guess.
Well here it is anyway....
My pic has a few shadows on it but I'm sure that you get the picture he he..
On this one I have used Sizzix caged bird die and altered it with paint and embossing folder.
Well have another LO on the go at the moment so will post again soon, I feel a scrappy night coming on!
Thanks for looking

Here is the sketch....

And my take on the sketch
 With the close up
Well I am thinking that it must be just about bedtime, Will go listen to the wind it's rippin it up a bit out there. Love a good storm especially when I don't have to go to work, I have next week off yay. Thinking of heading to Launceston for the day with the kids mmmmm we will see!

New Scrap space pics and a litle share..

Well I thought that I would post some pic of my new space, now I haven't put any pics on the wall and still have a bit of fine tuning to do...But at least I have a space now.



Bella Forever at my side, The dogs have the own space in my room as well consider at least one of the dogs is with me all the time. I'm thinking I will have to put the other bed in the room somewhere as well!
Now no room can be put back together without some addition, I somehow conned my hubby into making me this....
A ribbon holder yay.. now it's nice a neat and easy to access... Thanks Hubby!! I did try to help but he doesn't like me to touch the big power tools (he worries I might cut my finger off).
And just a quick share, I still can't believe that I have got 4 LO completed this week!
This is Jake's 6th birthday, not really in love with this LO but another one for the album and another occasion to remember in the future!
