Koala Love

I managed to get in close at Australia Zoo when we were over there earlier in the year - who doesn't love a cute Koala?

I made this DT page for the September sketch at Scrap Our Stash

The word this month was LEARN, and I used

L - Love More collection from Pinkfresh, letter stickers and leaves

E - Embossing Powder

A - Arrow, Abandoned Coral Distress Oxide, acrylic paint

R - Resin word

N - Nuvo Drops

Have a great day!

Keep Calm....

These were the most humongous doughnuts I had ever seen - I managed to eat about an eighth of one. They were from Lard Lad, at Springfield USA  - home of The Simpsons. Now we know why Homer drools when he hears the D word!!

This was for a DT page at SCrap Our Stash - the October Tic Tac Toe. I used the bottom row. Here's the challenge...

Sweet & Salty

"Salty"seems to be a favourite term at the moment - especially when these two get together. They've known each other since they were very little, and are still good friends 💙

This is a DT project for the November sketch over at Scrap Our Stash, here tis...

And the word to go with it is "Thanks"....

I used 

T - Thickers, Teresa Collins (the smaller gold stars), thread

H - Hearts, Hip Kit exclusive frames and alphas

A - American Crafts, Alphas

N - Nuvo Drops

K - Kaisercraft (wood veneer)

S - Stickers, Stars

I had a lot of fun playing with inks on this one!

Enjoy 😁

Embrace the Detour

Sometimes the best photos are selfies ripped from the girls fb pages lol

 

I used the October Hip Kit - love love love pinkfresh, and the Shimmerz that were in the Colour Kit were perfect with it. I had the co-ordinating letters in my stash already.

Sometimes its hard to have negative space but I tried really hard with this one! 

Remember

This beautiful bride is my treasured Auntie Mollie, my Mum's sister and one of the funniest people I knew. She married Uncle Bert back in February 1947.

I made this page with a kit by Megan Gourlay at a recent retreat. I love doing these sort of pages from kits, because they're not my normal style, and I don't have to buy all the products separately. Im really happy with how it turned out 💛

The View @2

Recently we went up north to visit family, and while we were there, my 2 year old nephew took some snaps with my camera, including a cute selfie with Shiloh. Its a real insight into how they see the world.

This page is for the October Scrap Our Stash sketch which is below...

And for the word LEAF I used

L - Layers, Letter stickers

E - Enamel shapes

A - Arrow 

F - Flair

I used the Cocoa Vanilla You Rock collection, which really does rock!

Spring in the City

I pass this magnificent magnolia tree on my way to work most mornings, and in the spring when it flowers it's just glorious 💗💗💗

I used the June Hip Kit for this page, and inspiration from Terhi Koskinen, I was feeling a bit flat before I started but now have my mojo back firmly in place!

Just Goofing around

Finally getting on to some more of my Disney photos!

This is a DT project for the November Tic Tac Toe challenge at Scrap Our Stash...

I used the left hand column - the plaid is just peeking out 😉 I was trying for a simple vertical layout, but everything kind of exploded lol. I love all the stamping!

Thanks for looking!

Sparkle and Shine

I made this page for the October challenge over at Colourblast Australia - I love the bright colours they have in all sorts of different media.

The theme for this month was triangles - can you pick that???😛

As well ast the fabulous Colourblast Colour Pastes and Shimmer cubes, I also used Cocoa Vanilla Wild at Heart papers and flair, Bella Blvd acrylic words and a Kaisercraft stencil.

I nearly went crosseyed with the hand stitching lol.

Gangsta

Couldn't believe this photo of my brother at a recent murder mystery night - it's so him! Right down to the Disorderly Conduct charge 😆😆😆

I'm entering this page into the current Stuck?! sketch challenge - I love these sketches 💓

Here's the page....

And here's the challenge...

Make sure you have a go too!
