Pixels and Paper Nov challenge

Hi, just popping in to enter this month's challenge at Pixels and Paper
This is the only challenge I have entered this month....wanted to do more but it just hasn't happened and now this weekend I am off to Kuala Lumpur for a 3 day shopping spree, which is timed with the big Xmas sales!! I am so excited!

Back to the challenge.....this is the photo to use for inspiration

 

Well I love chooks! When I was little we lived on a farm and had chooks and then when we shifted into town, Mum insisted on having a few chooks. And I have always had them. Nothing quite like your own fresh eggs! Can't bring myself to buy caged eggs....saw a thing on TV about caged chickens and I was disgusted with the cruelty.....just horrible...

 

 

As I don't have a rooster I was going to get some fertile eggs and see if I could hatch them, but she went off the nest before I managed to get some eggs......darn it!

I have made the frame using texture paste and then inking...trying to get a rustic look!

 

First time I have used the wire stamp

 

Lots of good old washi tape!

 

 

Before I go  would like to share ......Blog Candy!

Color Me Scrappy - DT Reveal - Nov 15th

Hi everyone!
Time for challenge #50 at Color Me Scrappy
And her is the colour palette

And the twist is to use texture (burlap, sand, paint etc.)

 

I have used heaps of texture....burlap, curly twig from the garden, cheesecloth, wooden beads, buttons, string and I used a paint dabber on two of these beautiful cork birds from The Trinket Track

 

My texturized tags LOL

 

 

 

This is my Son in Law sitting at the beautiful Curl Curl beach in Sydney.

We would sit here everyday after lunch and watch all the surfers heading out....lovely spot.

 

I really enjoyed doing this layout and I love the quote (rubon)

"We are as near to heaven

by sea as by land"

Boy meets Girl - Nov 15th challenge

Hi everyone...it's time for the girly challenge at Boy meets Girl
And it's Autumn colours - no brights!
Wow now this was a challenge for me! I very rarely scrap in these colours so I did find this rather tricky for me!
I got myself into rather a flap doing this......LOL!

All of the Grand kids at some stage have fed the ducks with Nanna and little Glacia just loves it.
She is a real animal person and the enjoyment she gets from this is amazing!

 

This beautiful butterfly is from The trinket Track

 

So there you have it.....don't usually use a lot of flowers, even though I drool over them!

Color Me Scrappy - First DT Reveal

Hi everyone.....so excited to be on the Design Team at Color Me Scrappy and this is my first reveal.

This challenge is a colour scheme with a sketch and I decided to use my Hubbies photo's of his band from their recent photo shoot ( done by Abel photography)

 

 

I will admit I did struggle with this decision....trying to use the colours , but make the page look sort of masculine?? I'm not too sure whether I achieved that or not......but my DH was chuffed that I scrapped about him!!
I used Keep on Rocking for my title as these guys have been together so long and aren't exactly young anymore! LOL

I have used masking tape behind the photos, swiped with a black paint dabber
Hubby is the one sitting down with the guitar and the Band's name is RAZOR!

 

So there it is my first Reveal......do go and check out the other Design Team members creations and join in the fun!

Black with 2 Oct challenge

First of all I want to tell you about a new store....Chantal Vandeberg is opening a store with all her handmade goodies. She is celebrating the opening of her store with this fantastic giveaway, which is a sample of what will be in the store.

 

So check it out here HERE

I couldn't resist this colour combination over at Black with 2 ...black, candy pinks and gold

This is a photo I  took of my Grand Daughter with the brush in her hand and me trying to persuade her to let Nanna brush her hair......well what is it with my 2 Grand Daughters that I am not allowed to touch their hair? They always tell me they can do it themselves.....of course they always miss the bit at the back! LOL

 

  I have used goodies from the Trinket Track ...the little stars, flower and the photo corners (which I rubbed with gold gelatos)

The background is gesso splattered with gold and pink paint
