Dec 1 2 3 challenge.

This months challenge over at 123 was a good one.

That challenge was black and white, the word Perfect and the technique was stamping.

Not as easy as it looked believe me. I really struggled with only using black and white. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE using black and white as a base, BUT the I just LOVE to add a splash of bright colour- so not adding that colour was a bit of a challenge, but I think it turned out alright lol.

I started with white card stock base, then used the packaging technique to put some black down as my Matt. I made my pic a little smaller then 4x6 as I was using an 8x8 layout. Then I added my title using a Heidi swapp wood veneer word and thickers. A few stamped hearts and little embellishments and it was done. 

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping

Elf on the shelf 2014

I think this is one of my absolute fave layouts so far. 

This is a layout in our 2014 elf on the shelf album. I'm using the holiday smash book to document our Elf's antics. This was day 5. 

When I started I wasn't too happy with where it was going. After a few adjustments it all came together nicely and I love how it turned out. It's also the most I have ever journaled on a spread .

Scrapping clearly August mood board

So I'm finally back at it- into the challenges. This is my first this month.

This is the scrapping clearly August mood board.

Gorgeous colours, and a little out of the ordinary for me- I don't use purples and pinks much with my boys. 

But purple is most def my sisters colour so I decided to make a start on her wedding album.

And this is what I came up with. 

I had fun with my dyelysions- just gorgeous colours and blend beautifully. And I use a dear Lizzy stencil that I misted then transferd the image onto cards tick.

 I love this pic of her. One of my faves.

Thanks for looking

Scrap the boys challenge

This months scrap the boys challenge was also a mood board- how I love mood boards :)

Gorgeous bright colours. And this is what I came up with.

I love the contrast these colours give with the green in the photo.

Just love how it came together. Not a lot of embellishing due to the background colours mostly. I used my title as an embellishment too. 

Thanks for looking

Mood board challenge

So we have recently moved house, which means for the majority of this month all my scrap stuff has been packed up :(

Last weekend I managed to finally unpack it all- just in time to get a challenge or 2 done.

I just scraped in I think :)

This month, the challenge at Anna's Craft Cupboard was a mood board Challenge.

I just loved this board. I love the colours. Perfect for my boys. And I found the perfect photo from our 50's festival back in June- Cooly Rocks On.

Like Father, Like Son.

Thanks for looking

Sassy June mood board

So this months sassy scrapper mood board was gorgeous.

I love this quote, and the watercolour feel of this board. That as well as the text type and the colours made me think of the inspire project life kit. So that's what I used :)

I cut up some PL cards (gasp, yes) and used my gelatos to make a water colour background and cut some hearts from more cards. I love the soft colors of this layout.

Thanks for looking and happy scrapping.
