HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE


Our Super Heros!!!

 
 
VERY DISAPPOINTED!
 
I missed the cut off to enter this one in a challenge for October!!
Never mind I still love that I have scrapped these two cute photos our all OUR SUPER HEROS!!!
 
I stayed up last night to complete this one!!  You can't really see the crackling on the brickwork BUT it was really cool to watch it change when I dried it!
 
 

TWO 2DAY!


 

 A   Check out this cheeky monkey's face!!
2   All covered in CAKE!!!
               Z   Tyler loves cake! 
 
We made him a little mini cake, along with the birthday cake! 
It was all for him and as you can see he enjoyed every morsel of it ALTHOUGH
he left a little on his nose &
on his chin &
on his lips &
oh yeh and on his shirt too!
 
I LOVE these colours in the mood board and hope you think I did justice to them here in this
TWO 2DAY layout!
 
Thanks A2Z Scraplets!
 

I believe I can FLY

 
Teal purplepink
& all those other groovy colours!!
Don't you just love them!
 
 
Sketchy Boards October Challenge what right up my alley!! 
I was able to scrap another one of Avaari's 1st Birthday Photos!
 
This one is of her, in her cute lace birthday dress and she is peaking out of from inside her Tee Pee!
Although she looks really shy in this particular photo, she is FAR FROM IT!!!
"Our Cheeky Little Wild Child" we call her!  
We are absolutely sure she does BELIEVES SHE CAN FLY as the title says!
 
Thanks again 

I hope you like my take on this months moodboard sketch! I have flipped the sketch because when I made the pretty sprayed mandala I realised that it would be mostly covered up with the other elements!! It was too pretty to cover up!!

Super Awesome ZIAH

 
D-lish Scraps' Challenge for October was perfect for this photo of our seriously rad Ziah, all ready for his Book Week Dress Up Day at Kindy!
 
I really enjoyed making the Octagon shapes out of cardboard! It is really therapeutic ripping the layers to expose the corrugations underneath!  Getting my hands all painty and inky to decorate this is also FUNtabulous!  
 
The little Spiderman above the  title is actually a photo of Spiderman at Universal Studios - I just fussy cut him out and he makes a great embellishment!
 
Thanks again D-lish Scraps  


Beautiful YOU


  Fresh as a daisy     Sweet as can be    BEAUTIFUL YOU  


Sometimes sweet and simple is the way to go!
I LOVE THESE 123 Challenges - great sketches and thought provoking colour boards!
 
Little Jayde our first Crandaughter, was dress ups with the BIG girls this day!  Her Auntie Ruthy was doing a Diploma in Beauty Therapy and asked JJ to be a model!!  The shoot was "sweet" themed and JJ was thrilled to be able to wear lolly jewellery and finish off that lollipop prop quick smart when it was all over!

Friends for 35+ years!


 
Cute little board board from ARTastic


Just had to use this photo for this challenge!  Lola & I have been friends for 35+ years and this is one of the first few photos I have of us together!
 
I thought the floral of my dress fitted in well with the lady friend swimmers  he he he
I didn't use a beachy theme for this layout, BUT thought I got the colours down OK ???
 
Thanks ARTastic

Oh Paree! We are lost!

 
Oh Paree!
I LOVE black board papers!  AND we have so many travel photos I loved this challenge!
 
These photos show two sides of our adventures in Paree and there were many more funny stories to tell too!  Scared under the Eiffel Tower, eating raw meat (they call it steak tartare)  at dinner time, being over charged for a coke at Minims right next door to Maxims (the well renowned Parisian restaurant), counting every step climbing the Arc de Triomph.... we've got a million!!    BUT really what travelling adventure doesn't have funny stories when you are travelling with my man Kerry!
 
These photos show 1- Kerry checking out a map in one of the streets!! Of course everything is written in French so he really was clueless considering he failed his Grade 8 French exam! 2 - us in front of the Arc de Triomph that we eventually found!!!
 
 
 
Thanks Scrapbooking Top 50 AUS

Pretty in Purple!


 
 
 
 
Jayde was a good subject for this pretty challenge this month !!


Scrapping Outback's White with a Twist is such a pretty mood board!  I tried really hard to find a pretty purple and yellow pansy to use in this layout!  I even tried to paint a white flower  uggghhh  see below!!

The silver dots and dashes don't come up to well in the photo!   One day I would love to watch a tutorial on how to take a good photo of your layouts to show the true colour and how to get them flat and straight!! 

Thanks again!  http://scrapping-outback.blogspot.com.au/2017/10/october-2017-white-with-twist-challenge.html?m=1
  My hilarious attempt at changing a flower to a pansy!!



grow wild child

 
Hi all! This one is close to my heart! As a 16 year survivor to this dreadful disease, I was keen to scrap a photo or two of my journey! However, my computer decided to die on me and I can't retrieve any old photos until it is recovered!!  Wish me luck with that one please!
 
So of course our cute little wild child Avarri came to the rescue and I hope you like my take on the challenge board all pinks and black n white!  Unfortunately once again the glittery bright pinks have not shown up in the photo but please use your imagination and THINK PINK because the glittery PINK colours are WILD!
 
 
 


Halloween Time

SCRAPPING CLEARLY thank you for making my job much easier with this fabulous mood board and sketch! Once again I have incorporated both in the one layout!  

The photos of Ruth my youngest daughters talented makeup art works was great to showcase in this layout!  I thought the photos looked better in black n white BUT had to put the colour pics into a mini album underneath the b n w photo!  Check her brilliant work out below!
 
 

 Loving this colour mood board



Little boxes!
