Scrap the girls March

I haven't played along with Scrap the girls for awhile and this month's challenge is to add either a heart or doily or both...I thought why not!

I found this beautiful photo of my Grand Daughter.....(I was actually looking for another photo) and decided this would be it. I was going to put a doily on, but then I forgot ....

Little green heart and photo corner is from the Trinket Track

ARTastic March challenge

Hi...time for the mid month DTreveal at ARTastic
And it's a ripper!

When I first saw this I loved it.....BLUE is my favourite clour and with the white it reminded me of my bedroom.....but I also got that wonderful feeling of freedom!

And I thought of my chooks...I know a bit strange, but I have just lately been letting them out to roam around through the garden and they LOVE it!!

I thought my dogs would harass them but they don't .....after all these years!

Only thing is they make a terrible mess scratching through the pea straw and I have to keep raking it up...but they are so happy and so much more friendly!

Enough rambling....back to the layout!!

Tons of different textures on this page!!

Gesso and blue gelatos and bits of tissue paper for the sky

Straw from the garden

Some flower stickers that I layered... had for years...brightened up with gelatos

The leaves are NOT from the garden...although they look like dried leaves

I have even put a couple of tiny flat rocks from the gravel

And of course I had to add a bird...a Trinket Track cork bird

So there you have it...something very different from me...but I really had fun doing this...and that is what it is all about!!!

WW1 March challenge

Hi...time for another White with 1 challenge!

I wasn't too sure how I would go with this one...but I am quite happy how it turned out.

This is a photo of my Grand Daughter playing with some stuffed toys...this is a duck and it quacks when you squeeze it. I have a basket full of all different stuffed teddies and animals and she lines them up and talks to each one and plays for ages.... I love listening to her.....all her little stories......it is so cute!

I have had these teddies for awhile...I won them ....but I can't remember from where...I know they are Green Tara...added some eyes, nose and a ribbon!

A few splatters of paint....and some rolled up cardstock, which has been distrssed

A Kaisercraft flourish and resin flowers...

Now these Prima flowers I have had for ages....I have used all the other colours

I actually really enjoyed doing this one!

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
