A sneak ...

OK, so here's a sneak of one of my July challenges at Scrapping 2 Perfection .....
See if you can guess what the theme is going to be next month .... guess correctly and I'll put you in the draw for a RAK :-)

Out of the Hat

I decided to play along with the Out of the Hat challenge this month...

mixed alpha title

more than 3 photos

doodling and staples

I used Japanese masking tape again to make a border ... love it :-) ... just have to get some more colours :-).

Have a great weekend!

Happy Birthday!!

Scrapbook Savvy has just had a Birthday themed CC and it was just perfect to give me the inspirarion I needed to scrap Miss B's birthday pics from ... quite a while ago!!! (last year!!!)
Anyway, Sara based her challenge on the pic above ... we had to use 3 elements inspired by that pic. Mine was:

polka dots - the sprinkles/colourful lollies

coloured string - the balloon string

bright fun colours

and also flowers from the flower shapes

Hope everyone is having a great week!

Yellow

Yellow is a fun sunshiney colour, perfect to brighten our cold winter days :-). I don't generally like yellow, but I find it easy to scrap with yellow. Does that make sense?? Anyway, I made this card for a fun challenge on Natalie's blog...
Papers are a mix of Cosmo Cricket and American Crafts.

Don't forget the June sketch challenge at Handmade by Suzanne ... you could win a voucher and free postage from the store!!

Also the sketches at Stuck?! Sketches ... awesome sponsors this month!!!

One week to go before the end of the month :-) Happy scrapping :-)

Bright and happy

The Design Dollies sketch this week was this:
And I created this:

Love the bright, happy summery colours :-). The colour challenge this week is an interesting one! Grey and yellow! Hmmmm .... wonder what I can come up with ;-)

More purple!!!

Design Dollies always have an interesting combo for their colour challenge and this week is no different.

PURPLE

ORANGE

and WHITE

OK, now I'm looking at that pic, the purple doesn't look very purple, but it is I promise!!
Have a great weekend :-)

A new Stuck?! Sketch is up ...

Remember this sneak?
-------->
It's for the 2nd June sketch over at Stuck?! Sketches :-). Here is the sketch:

And my LO:

The star shape is all handstitched and yes, it took me FOREVER!!!!!! LOL.

Don't forget Stuck?! is having a CT call!!! Applications close June 25th 2010. Check out all the details here.

Kit reveal

I was very lucky to be chosen as the June Guest Designer over at Scrapbook Savvy and I got to play with this super gorgeous kit!!!! Cosmo Cricket DeLovely papers .... love the colours ... so bright and pretty!! The kit is awesome and it shows - it sold out in a very short time!
The little bird cage is sooo cute and I really wanted to just sit and look at it for a while longer ... LOL ... but I think it looks great on the page too.
Capture:

I really loved the Hambly transparency too - here I cut out a strip of the cardstock and replaced with the transparency.

Tiptoe:

I love paper ruffling at the moment :-)

And since the papers were very girly/floral, I thought it would be a challenge to create a boy page :-). I did add the kraft c/s and a few red embellies .... and the strip of book paper.

123 Go!:

I still have heaps of paper left over, enough for at least another LO and certainly some cards as well.

Will be back later with the 2nd sketch for the month over at Stuck?! Sketches. Hope you can play along - there are FAB prizes this month ;-).

Heat Wave

I have been playing with the American Crafts Heat Wave range of papers and stickers - what a lovely way to add some SUMMER to our cold winter day!!! These are for DT inspiration over at Handmade by Suzanne.
Sand fun:
Just us:

Close up - those gorgeous pink flower centres are Prima. Yummy!! (And available at HBS)

I have also made some cards with left overs .... just need some sunshine to take some pics :-)

This little boy...

takes my breath away. Another gorgeous photo by LaBelle Photographics ... I will never tire of scrapping them!
This is for the colour challenge over at Savvy: black, brown, orange and red. And a close up:

Have a great week!

Sporty card

Time for a boy card I'm thinking!! I just love using old book paper on my creations and liked the look of the paper on the side. What do you think ---->
It's for Design Dollies elements challenge - sport: Fishing ... see the fish??!!

Have a great weekend :-)
