New Do

Okay, so it's an old do now, but man what a change when Shiloh first got her hair cut!

From super long, to shoulder length it now sits about halfway between these two and she's happy with that :)

This is my page for the Scrap Our Stash mid November challenge, here's the sketch and lists...

I used Amy Tan Better together collection, ScrapFX and Blue Fern chipboard along with Cocoa Vanilla flair and enamel dots.

Hope you like it!

What's your sign?

Hi all, This is my most recent layout created for the November 1st Scrap Our Stash challenge.

I've been meaning to do a layout about star signs for both my girls since they were little but never quite got there, so this was the perfect time...and how do you like my photo?!? Just as well looks can't kill! It was all just staged really - promise

I really need to take on board the message "less is more" but I just can't stop adding things - if you count the big star I made as part of the background, there are about 26 stars on this layout

 And here's the inspiration...

I started with a wash of Prima watercolour pastels, then added a bit more definition with a Tim Holtz crayon. I then added the brads (I wanted some more blingy ones but didn't have enough, so gold it was), then wound the gold thread around until I was happy with the design.

The chipboard stars are embossed with some of my favourite Blue Fern colours, and then it was just add a bow, title, journalling, and twenty something star sequins lol.

Hope you like it!

Family

My Mum just turned 95 - Wow!

My brothers from either end of the country plus my sister and I went out with her for lunch to mark the occasion.

 The inspiration for this was the October book challenge from Scrap Our Stash, this is it...

I used the Kraft background and teal colour scheme, plus I also used a little gold key charm.

Hope you like it!

Pip

Pip - also known as Pipster, Pipsqueak, Pippy, Pipperella and Fats ;)

One of her favourite spots is outside our bedroom ranchslider curled up on a large toy dog - no irony there considering she's the biggest scaredy-cat ever!

I came across this sketch by Lets Get Sketchy for June and it gave me the inspiration I needed to get this page done and dusted.

 

Thanks for looking, leave a comment if you like it!

Love You

I love this photo, taken at Neverland for Jenna's 3rd birthday. Such a cute wee fairy Shiloh!

This page is chock full of Prima both old and new, from the Salvage District Paper, watercolour paper and notes, to the resin, flowers, crystals and crackle paste, micro beads, stencil and stamps.

 The title chipboard is from ScrapFX which was embossed white, and then BoBunny glitter paste added. I love the cascading stars stamp from BoBunny too :x

The transparency from My Minds Eye has been in my stash for years lol.

The paper, stencils, pastes and chipboard are all available at The Paper Teapot.

Don't forget to let me know what you think!

Southern Selfies

As a Mum to 2 girls, finally I can do a boy layout!

I wasn't even tempted a little bit to put flowers on it ;)

This is my hard case little nephew Sam, along with his big sister Maddie and our girls, taken in Margaret and Phil's beautiful Invercargill garden. They'd just spent half an hour running madly after bubbles from a machine so red cheeks!

This was a really quick layout, using Cocoa Vanilla papers and ephemera plus my new ScrapFx title that I lurrrvve (available from The Paper Teapot here) and a few other bits and pieces from my stash.
