CMS March 1st

Well I have to admit I struggled with this colour combo!
I didn't get it quite right either.....

My colours are a bit too bright I think...

This is my 3rd attempt LOL

My Grand Son wasn't into the guinea pigs and gave them to me....he knows I am a animal lover

But I have never had guinea pigs and this one was pregnant and got very huge....so I had to scrap for the memory.....and now I have 3 babies.....plus the other 3 in a cage in the backyard....and as cute as they are.... I seriously don't want anymore!

Anyway here are some close ups....

I have fussy cut these orange flowers and used gel sticks to brighten them up a bit

Check out the rest of the DT examples....Color Me Scrappy

And the new challenge is up at ARTastic

Beautiful isn't it!

Scrapfriends colour challenge

I just had to do a layout with this colour scheme at Scrapfriends ...BLUE is my favourite colour!

I painted my bedroom a darker blue with off white ceilings which comes down to meet a beautiful freeze. This photo is of my chair which I painted and I just love the effect against the walls and the floor boards....I just love my bedroom!

I have painted some bamboo skewers to match the wicker chair

Cork bird from the Trinket Track

And the layout...

 My Grand Daughter Glacia loves these teddies.....always puts them to bed!

This is a pic of the Fireplace ( a very old house...have 5 fireplaces plus a wood stove in the kitchen!)
I just love this print.....often just lay in bed and look at it!

Sketchabilities #109

I love this sketch over at Sketchabilities ....but I am disappointed with my layout...it hasn't turned out exactly as I hoped...but you get that!
I used a  photo of the Grand kids helping Pop to blow out his candles ....I really only baked the cake for the kids! They love blowing out the candles and that is when you sing Happy Birthday!

I took this photo with the flash off ....so I went with those colours.....but I am not sure.......BUT I LOVE the photo!

I have mainly used gelatos and washi tape 

Glacia has a head lamp on...she had just been out side to look at the chooks roosting!

Some more close ups

Another freaking scrappy challenge Feb

I came across this sketch at Another freaking scrappy challenge (saw this on Mary's blog) and I thought I would give it a go

I decided to use a photo of my DH playing his guitar at a band gig

And I should be in the good books....

Firstly it is a photo of him..

Secondly he is playing his loved guitar...

And thirdly I have used purple..his favourite colour!

Sorry about the shadow...but the white looks white!

I tried in slight shade...but the colours were just not right

The stars are from the Trinket Track

The chipboard is from A2Z Scraplets

My music notes aren't so good!

I have decided I like chipboard...and maybe even purple!

Thanks for stopping by

WW1 Feb challenge

I thought I would get the gelatos out again for this month's challenge at White with 1

Never thought I would scrap in purple....but I am sort of pleased with how it turned out

Hubby likes it...that's because purple is his favourite colour!

We have just been to A Day On The Green at Clare

It was so hot...45 degrees and no shade...so I was making a few trips to the misting tent

Wow that was so refreshing.....but only for a little while!

This is very different for me...never know really how to use the gelatos and 

then to arrange the flowers properly....it takes me ages!

The white flowers and the little butterflies are from Cheap as Chips, which I had bought that morning

and the beautiful purple flowers are from the Trinket Track

Flicked a bit of gesso over the purple here

Didn't know what to put here...and then I found this butterfly, which I darkened with the gelatos

Colour Me Scrappy Feb 15th

Another fabulous challenge at Colour Me Scrappy

 Twist: use wood (paper, wood chips, twigs ... be creative

Glacia popped in to say hello on her first day of kindy.....didn't stop talking as usual!

I thought it was about time I used the chipboard I had won!

I found these cute little bats, that I fussy cut....they're so cute!

I have had this doily for ages....love op shops!

She was only meant to stay to lunch time, but when Mum came to pick her up .....no way was she going home! So she stayed for the whole day. So much for worrying!!

Don't to forget to check out the challenge at ARTastic

Beautiful piece of art to inspire you ....along with the DT inspiration
