Blossom - Mixed Media Canvas

Hello Everyone

Last month I lost my sweet dog Blossom...she was only 16 months old.  It was a real blow to our family and it was so hard to accept her death.  However, a month on and I am now able to think of all the happy times she gave us!! She is still terribly missed and will always have a special place in our hearts.

I created this canvas for her.  It's kinda messy....but that's Blossom to a T! ;-)

She so loved playing with her toys and they were always spread out over the garden.  These photo's were taken in Jan...Johann and Joe were playing with her.

I used the BoBunny Happy Tails collection, which is still a favourite of mine!

A close-up of the journalling.

She added such a breath of fresh air to our family! She will be sorely missed!

Thanks so much for stopping by!

Have a super day!

Man's Best Friend - Scrap Africa Challenge no.37

Hello Everyone

We have a super challenge up on the Scrap Africa Blog - List It.
You must create a project (layout, card or off the page) that included a list.  Your list must have at least 10 items.

 

It would be super if you could play along and also pop along and see what the DG and DT have created.

This is my "List It" page.



I did not even know, until mid morning that it is Blossom's Birthday today. So Happy Birthday Blossom...you are a terror and an angel all rolled into one! ;-)

This photo was taken 2 weeks ago, at the start of the school holidays and Joe fell asleep on the couch, in front of the TV. He had his arm wrapped around Blossom...their noses touching..it was juat too precious.

Here's a closer look at the list.



I also used a really cute paw wall stamp and then outlined it for more effect.



I used Happy Tails from BoBunny...it's such a fun and cute collection.



Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you will play along!
Have a super evening!

Fun Times - Scrap Around the World Challenge June 2014

Hello Everyone

I have been scrapping up a storm and enjoying the creating so much! So yes, I have another page to share and it's for the Scrap Around the World June Challenge here.  Di really give a super and gorgeous challenge.



This mood board definitely smacks of summer and even has a European look to it and so I immediately knew that I wanted to scrap our European summer spent in Austria, 2 years ago. I had a picture of Joe and in mind and it was perfect.

This is certainly one of my most remembered summers and I know is also a firm favourite for Joe! He loved everything about Austria and often asks when we will go again.

So here is my page.

I used a combination of BoBunny Lemonade Stand, Our Lil Monster and Happy Tails collections, as well as a few bits and bobs from scrappy stash.

I used a new BoBunny stamp too, which is the little bubbles stamp.  It's super.

Helen Tilbury had given me an idea with regards to the non slip runner matting and it was perfect for some texture.

LOL...Joe loves ice-cream and so this was the perfect photo to use here too! 

Thanks so much for popping by!
I hope you have a super evening!

BoBunny Misc Me. Happy Tails Continuation

Hello Everyone

I had a lovely weekend, with some good family time, but also good scrappy time! ;-)

I really do love the Misc Me. products from BoBunny and seriously,  I had never tried pocket scrap booking before, but I have so enjoyed it, that I will definitely continue.  I had started my Doggie Tails binder in January and I have kept up with it and have some pages to share with you.

I don't think I need to tell you much, as the pages will speak for themselves! ;-)

LOL... a little story in themselves!

As you can see Blossom is still a puppy, but my goodness, has she grown!!
She is a diggy and chewy doggy at the moment, but we still love her to bits! ;-)

Thanks for stopping by...
I hope you have a super evening!

BoBunny Happy Tails Misc.Me

Hi Everyone

I am up on the BoBunny blog today with the super Happy Tails Misc. Me here. It would be so great if you could pop along and have a look at Romy's take on this too.

Here is my new Misc.Me binder for our 2 four-legged family members.

We got a puppy in January and so this Misc Me project was just perfect for me.  So this is also the reason for the title of my new Misc Me file - And so there was 2 - because we now have 2 doggies. They are the 2 you see playing on the cover. I want to document Blossom's life and show her growth and development.

Our animals become part of the family and really are such a big part of our lives!

My first page is of the very first day that Blossom came to us.  She was really very small and I think was quite lost without her Mommy, brothers and sisters and just looked so very sad! We loved her from that very first moment and she has crept into our hearts.



You will see that on the cover and throughout my binder, I have used a wall stamp of a paw print, which I have had for ages, but never used, until now. That's the great thing about crafting, you can use all sorts of things to compliment your projects.

The Misc Me cards are so awesome and I really loved these Happy Tails ones. There really are so very cute and really make documenting so fun and easy.

I have used some journalling papers as well as journalling cards and the mix and match works really well.

I have used the fabulous new BoBunny washi tapes on many of my pages too and so love how it creates a feature, without adding bulk.

I love that stamping adds texture and interest, but does not add bulk.

This is my last page for the moment. But you can know with certainty that I will be documenting every week to follow Blossom's growth and development and her friendship with Rosie.

Blossom-ing Friendship

Hello Everyone

I hope you are having a great weekend!

I have really had to catch up on some DT work, and I am pleased to say that I have really scrapped up a storm so far this weekend...so I can actually breathe! LOL...So I had some time to play along with the CSI Challenge too.



I used Em's sketch for inspiration too.

I really love this page and I am so pleased with how it turned out.  I really had fun playing with the background and then putting the whole page together.

Evidence: Pet accents, Flower, Pearls
Testimony: Journalling from a pet's point of view.
My journalling is at the back of the page and says this.

My name is Blossom and I am 3 months old. I came to this family on the 05 January 2014. I am a Border Collie even though my owner is not quite convinced of this!
I am a little vacuum cleaner of note and I am always hungry. I also love to chew things and recently have been getting into quite a bit of hot water, over the things I love to nibble on.
I have a friend Rosie that is my basket sharer and partner in crime, as well as a little boy, named Joe.
In the afternoons we love to play in the front garden while Mommy takes photo’s and the play gets very rough and tumble.
I also love to have a little snoozes on Joe’s lap and we share everything from food, to toys, to blankets.
One of my favourite places to also snooze is at the feet of my Mommy, under her scrapping table, when she is busy with her crafting. That’s when I am really at peace and just content to catch a quick shut eye.
I love my new little home and friends… we certainly have a Blossom-ing friendship!

I used the super new collection from BoBunny - Happy Tails...it was so perfect for this page. I also love the new washi tape from BoBunny...it's really fabulous.

I also used BoBunny stamps, as well as some Prima and JustRite stamps.

When I look at these photo's I always smile! Joe and his doggies, playing in the front garden! That is the stuff of life! ;-)

Thanks so much for popping by!
I really appreciate the visits.
Have a super Sunday!
