Get Creative Challenge - Mermaid

Hi Everyone

I had all good intentions of getting this layout in for the Get Creative challenge.
When I started writing this post yesterday I realised with quite a start, that I did not have a title or name for my layout. I think I must be going crazy!!! So I had to go back and add my title and then take a photo.  So I missed the deadline for yesterday.  Oh well....I enjoyed and created this layout anyway!!

So here is the sketch.



And here is my layout.

I used Modelling paste over the corrugated cardboard to give this layout texture and also added the woodgrain rub ons for texture as well.
Materials used: Fabscraps paper, MME Love Me Do papers and corrugated cardboard, Echo Park block letters, Studio Calico Rub ons, Prima Flowers and muslin bandage.

Some close-ups for good measure.

Okay...well thanks for visiting here today.
It is always much appreciated.
Have a great day!

Let's Scrap - International Scrapbooking Month

Fun and Laughter - Enmarc Challenge

Hi Everyone

I hope you had a stunning weekend! If like me, you are still on leave, enjoy every moment and enjoy your day.

I have been doing a lot of scrapping this weekend and will hopefully share all of my creations with you soon, but here is one that I can share for the Enmarc challenge.
Here is the challenge sketch.



Here is my take on it.

This layout is about two little boys who became friends.  Jerome and Joe.  Joe actually named Jerome and so they have had a close friendship.  Jerome is now living back in Zimbabwe, but Joe talks about his friend often.

I used BG Oliver papers and Oxford Chipboards, Enmarc chipboard elements and 7Gypsies rub ons, Royal Langnickel rub ons and some brads. I also spray painted the background cardstock with "Coffee" Dazzles spray.

Here are some close-ups.

Thanks for stopping by.
Have a scrappy day!

Anniversary Card

Hi Everyone

I have been enjoying a very relaxed weekend with the family and it has been some really nice quality and quantity time.

Today I have a card to share with you that I did a little while back for my parents 45th wedding anniversary.
Here is the card.  I used some lovely rub ons on the numbering just to add a little something extra.

I hope you are enjoying your long weekend!
Thanks for stopping by.

40

Hi Everyone

Two posts in one day and the day is still young! LOL...
I am enjoying every minute of my scrapping time.

I created a layout fore the Let's Scrap Challenge 134, which has a Phantom of the Opera inspiration theme for this challenge. So I wanted to create a dramatic and elegant layout for an auspicious occasion, this being my sisters 40th birthday party.
Here is my offering.

Materials used: Making Memories Paper Reverie, Kaisecraft rub on, Design Worx chipboard swirl, Enmark trellis corner, Pink Paislee London Market elements and Prima flowers and butterfly.

Once again, thanks for visiting, your comments are truly appreciated.
Have a great day!

Happy Birthday Card

Hi Everyone

I am really enjoying the weekend and enjoying spending some time with the family and just relaxing a little.

This week I had a really bad bout of the tummy bug and I was absolutely miserable for a few days, but as always happens, these sorts of things give one a new and fresh perspective. I am happy to be alive and happy to be creating and have a new and fresh approach to life again.

Anyway, enough of the philosophy and here is a card that I made for Let's Scrap. I had previously made a layout and since I had some papers over, I wanted to make a card.

Here is my card.

The patterned paper is Kaisercraft, with the stickers and wording being Echo Park and the number 5 from Crate Paper and the cute little aeroplane also Kaisercraft.

Take a closer look.

Thanks for stopping by.

You are such a cutie - Let's Scrap Sketch 4-18-12

Hi Everyone

Today is sketch reveal again at Let's Scrap and here is the cute sketch posted.



And of course...here is my layout.

The papers used are Kaisercraft. The bits and bobs are however from quite a few different manufacturers.
I think the border on the layout just gives this layout such a fun look and is obviously a Martha Stewart punch around the page set.

Thanks for visiting today.
Take good care.
