Hello Sugar

D-lish certainly gave us some really delicious colours on the mood board for November,

along with a really cute sketch to work with!

I found the perfect pic for this layout!  A cute moment captured between my grandson Ziah and his little friend Mila!  They are such good friends and this says it all I think!

I was lucky enough to win the Random Draw for the October Challenge and my prize was a gorgeous package from D-lish Scraps!  I just had to use the pretty pieces in this months challenge!

Thanks for the prize D-lish and thanks also for the challenge this month

King KOALA not KING KONG

 Kraft + November Challenge is really BIG  

I had the perfect photo to use! My Hubby and Granddaughter were eager to try Sydney's ULTIMATE experience, when we were visiting in January this year!  SYDNEY TOWER! 

 I chickened out because heights and I don't get along!  They checked out the truly beautiful views of Sydney from the indoor Observation Deck and while up there had their picture taken!  This was photo shopped onto a BIG  Koala climbing the Tower!!!

Never thought I would be able to use this photo in a challenge BUT this one fits perfectly! 

I love the BIG title I have used too! The old Basic Grey Monograms were perfect for the job! A little Inka Gold Aquamarine & some Colour Blast embossing powder, to cover the not so great pattern and they were ready to go!

Thanks again for the BIG fun challenge

Bathing Beauty

 Let's Get Sketchy Challenge this month was cool with a

L  O  N  G    T  I  T  L  E!

My daughter sent me this gorgeous pic of my Grandbaby #9!

Dyllan is a serious little cutie pie and you have to work hard for a smile!!

This was her first swimming experience so we will excuse her this time!!  lol

These are really old papers that I have had in my stash, BUT I thought they were perfect for this photo! 

I had fun using...

Some Just Blue  Colour Blast embossing powder &

some Just Blue Colour Shimmer Cube Watercolour!!  to compliment the blue in Dyllan's swimsuit!

Some Inka Gold,  Magenta to cover some old letters &

then some cool white sparkly embossing powder!

The glittery finish unfortunately does not show up too well!  But looks gorgeous in the flesh!!  

Thanks for the Challenge Lets' Get Sketchy   http://letsgetsketchy.blogspot.com.au/2017/11/november-1-sketch-challenge.html

Single Photo - CHECK!

Quote - Life's little moments make the best memories! CHECK!

On the Cream Cardstock, I used the Clock; the Butterfly, rose, &

writing and the Letters, clear stamps! CHECK!

.....  uuummmmm Handwritten journaling.....

never too keen on using my own writing on layouts BUT there it is!! CHECK!  

Aren't these KaiserCraft  Mademoiselle Collection papers just gorgeously devine!!

Magic Love

I love watercolour although I am not too good with it!!

It was a lovely challenge to dabble a bit more and I have used some wonderful products I have and hoping that you think it is affective!

I wish I had  taken a photo of the first layout I did!?!?!  UUUGGGLLLLYYYY

So I decided to cut it all up and used those elements on a second layout and Voila!!  Ta-da!! I think it hits the brief well!

Thanks Scrap Matrix for the Challenge

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!

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!
