Scrap Therapy July sketch challenge

Hi!

Now this challenge over at Scrap Therapy is for all those addicted to washi tape!!!

               $50 prize pack worth of Washi Tape to be won!!

So here is the sketch and a pretty good one at that!

 

I took a photo of my 2 Grandies in the wheel barrow....were meant to be helping me!!!

 

 

The Kraft paper, I found in my pile of "Stuff ups" LOL ( I have a pile of papers I have messed up and hope one day I can use them !)
But it sorted of worked for this layout!

 

Of course lots of washi tape and stars from the The Trinket Track !!

 

I am rather happy with the way it turned out , as the photo was a bit hard to put colours with.

 

So for a chance to win some washi tape...head on over...remember you have to be in it to win it!!!

 

cheers

Scrap Africa

Hi

This challenge at Scrap Africa was very challenging for me!
But I really enjoyed doing this, especially as I was staying at my daughters and we were scrapping together!  The sketch....

 

 

I have used texture paste, water colours and paint and then added shells that the Grand Kids collected.

 

The photo corners and cork bird are from the Trinket Track and Prima butterflies

 

I am a just a big kid at heart and love playing with Grand Children......whatever that is!!

Building sand castles, collecting shells, kicking the football, playing in mud......whatever is going, Nanna is up for it!!

 

Now I have a photo of my GS James's piece of art, that he has asked me to put on my blog!

So if you happen to pop by....PLEASE, PLEASE leave a comment for James, then he might stop nagging me to set up a blog for him!!!! He just wants to read the comments...LOL!!!!

 

So here it is.....using up and making a mess of Nanna's paints! (and the table and the floor and himself and.....)

 

Thanks so much for stopping by....

Scrap around the World - July challenge

Hi.....freezing cold today and feeling miserable with a sore throat and ear....so what does one do???
SCRAP of course!

Love this mood board and sketch at Scrap around the World this month.

It looks so romantic and as my niece has just become engaged, I thought I would give this challenge a go!

 

 

I tried to make a plaster look frame with texture paste and used texture paste hearts over the page, then slightly inked with a cotton bud.

 

 

 

 

Because I want to give this as a gift, I haven't done any journaling.....just put their initials on the page.

I hope they like it!!

 

Well tomorrow , what ever happens we MUST go out to our farm and get a big load of wood, to heat this house up!!

 

Thanks for looking

Guest Design Reveal for Life. Paper.Scrapbook. - July sketch

I was really happy to be asked to be a Guest Designer over at  Life. Paper. Scrapbook. for this month's sketch challenge.

 

 

I decided to use these photos that my son took of Glacia....she is such a character!!!

 

 

She is looking so innocent and disinterested, as though everything is okay!!

 

The pink flower thing is a rub on that I have had for years. I put half in the top left hand corner and rubbed the other half in the bottom right.

 The black arrows are Prima and I just love these burlap butterflies.

 

 And once again I have used my Martha Stewart punch.

So if you have a spare moment, do play along! Great prize to be won!

 

And don't forget the challenge at About A Girl to create a layout using the word "NEW"

Have fun scrapping and thanks for looking!
cheers Leanne xx

July 1st About A Girl challenge - my DT Reveal

Hi....a bit late posting this!
I am afraid the winter bug has got me and I went back to bed and I wished I was still there!
But life goes on......this challenge at About A Girl is to use the word NEW

This is my Grand Daughter with her new hat

 Sorry about the photo...I took so many photos and I still couldn't get the colour right....so I gave up!!

I love arrows and to get a different effect, I have distressed the edges of each one and doodled in between and cut small strips of washi tape

 

 

I made a little cluster of these little stars from  The Trinket Track ... I love these!

And my strips are washi tape cut very tiny. I have put strips on the photo to fill in the background.

 

I hope this post has made sense as I have had trouble just typing.....hope I feel better tomorrow!

 

Thanks for looking
