Mom - Prima BAP October

Hello Everyone

I hope you are having a super Saturday.

I have been cooking a pot of curry for a family dinner later on and also just pottering, scrapping and a game of 2 of UNO in between, with Joe! ;-)

I loved the Prima BAP sketch again this month....it is super.



Here's my take on it, using the Delight Collection.

I loved this quilt type patterned paper in the collection and so definitely wanted to use it for my background.

I crackled and distressed the title.....along with the chipboard oval, which was then halved.

My Mom was 21 in this photo and she really was very beautiful! So my journalling above, tells you a little bit about her. My Mom has never really spoken about what her life was like, when she was young....she's just never been that open about it.  Maybe someday she will share some of it with me.

Thanks for stopping by!

I really appreciate the visit!

Have a super, scrappy day!

Thoughts - Sketch no.30 - Scrap Africa

Hello Everyone

I hope you had a happy and restful day.

We have a new sketch challenge up at Scrap Africa here and I really like the sketch, even if I say so myself! LOL

Here's my page...

I created a vintage page of my Aunt. I wanted to ask her about this photo, so that I could add some journalling. Unfortunately, I saw her today and forgot to take it along.  So I will ask her the next time I see her and then will fill in the journalling card.

I really do wonder what occasion this was for and what she was thinking at the time! ;-)

I used Graphic 45 - A Ladies Diary.

I had made a flower from some lace, which was twirled around itself and then stuck on a chipboard circle! I really did like how it turned out.

Maybe play along and take a poke at my sketch? ;-)
You have until 14 June.

Have a super evening!

Memories - Prima BAP April 2014

Hello Everyone

I have a vintage/heritage page to share with you today for the Prima BAP for April.



The sketch was a great one. Here is my interpretation.

I used the School Memories Collection, which was the obvious choice for this page! ;-) It seems like an absolute lifetime ago that I was in Grade 1 and Standard 1! ;-)

I used stamping, watercolouring, gesso and stencilling....so generally a little bit of this and that, as always! ;-)

LOL...here's a close-up of the journalling!

I did a lot of fussy cutting, as there were so many gorgeous little bits that one could use from these papers!

Ah well, quite a reminiscent page, especially since my own son is now in Grade 1. The circle of life is certainly turning!

Have a super evening and weekend!
