A Couple More!

I promised more scrappy shares, so here they are! The first one is for Vicki's June Monthly Challenge at Scrapbooking Top 50. The criteria for this challenge was to be inspired by the following pic...

we also had to include a pinwheel, rub-ons and lots of journalling. Here is my take...

The next LO was for my first challenge ever at Challenge Heaven. I really loved the June challenges, but being away meant that I didn't get to do as many as I wanted to. Hopefully this month I will get a chance to do a lot more! This one was for the Quote Challenge, where we had to use "My Friend" as the title and also black alphas...

A quick thanks to everyone who stops by and leaves me love - your comments are always appreciated! X

At Last a Scrappy Share!

Finally, a chance to share the other LO's I did for the SBT50 'Wings' CC before I went away. This first one was for guest DT member Bec's "Spread Your Wings" challenge. The criteria was to use the quote "until you spread your wings you have no idea how far you can fly", we also had to include meaningful journalling and flowers...

The next LO was for our outgoing DT member Kathie's "Soaring High" challenge. We had to include the quote "the higher we soar, the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly", hand-cutting, distressing and at least 2 birds or butterflies...

The final LO was for fellow DT member Vicki's "Take Off" challenge. We had to include the quote "indulge your imagination in every possible flight", multiple photos with at least one cut out and a 4 word title...

I really tried to push myself out of my comfort zone a bit with these LO's...as it's always good to challenge oneself and try something new! Back later with more to share!

Back to the grind!

Well here I am back to the grind today, after being down at mum's all week to catch up with my sister & her family. The kids had a ball playing together and it was interesting to see just how big Brielle looked standing next to them now. Here is Brielle with her gorgeous cousins Madeline & Jackson...

And here's a selfie of me & my sis...

After my week down in Brissie I had to come home so that Shannon & I could have our first BIG NIGHT OUT since Brielle was born!!! Lucky for us Auntie Cindy came over to babysit for the night so we were able to go out and run amok with "The Crew" just like we used to. We went to a gig featuring a couple of awesome bands and then back to a friend's place - we had a absolute ball! (Crawled into the back of the car to get some sleep at around 5.30am...LOL) ROCK ON!!!

Getting my "rock chick" on...

Tacca & Shannon, luv ya boys...

 Watching Toe to Toe...

 Dreamkillers go off...

Go Kev...

 Our girl Grom, hit the stage with the 'killers and rocked the house...

 

Luv ya babe...

June 1,2,3 Challenge LO!

Well the 1,2,3 Challenge is definitely back with a bang! This month the criteria are the colour white (must be dominant), the word 'new' and a paint smeared background. I am pretty happy with how this came out and it gave me a chance to scrap an old pic of DP & DD I hadn't already, so always happy about that!

Here is my LO...

SBT50 Cyber Crop LOs!

I have been scrapping my butt off for the Scrapbooking Top 50 June 'Wings' CC this week. First on the agenda was the Opening Night Mini Challenge. Because it was a mini challenge, we had a much shorter timeframe to complete it in (2 days!) The criteria for this challenge was to create something smaller than 12 x 12 with our own "wings" criteria. That is, something representing each of the letters in "wings". The criteria I used were Written journalling, Ink, Neutral coloured background, Gems, Sepia photo and staples.

Here is the result...

The journalling...

My challenge for this CC, "Free the Fairy" was the last one to be posted. The criteria are to use the quote "let your inner fairy fly free", use a pp background and include something silver. I love the pic I used for this (my evil fairy...LOL) and it gave me a great excuse to use lots of yummy pink!

Here is my LO...

Most of the goodies on this page came from My2Angels. The yummy pps I have used are from the Little Yellow Bicycle "Delightful" range. I have also used some white & pink mulberry flowers; pink, white & green mulberry leaves; fairy girl charm; circle pendant charms; silver foil Thickers; plaid fabric brads and grosgrain spotted ribbon...all items are available in Tracy's store!

A Couple of Cards & Sale News!

A couple of quick cards I have whipped up using my DT kit from Handmade By Suzanne. Both cards are based on the 3 Bugs 'Savannah' range which I thought was perfect for little girl's birthday cards. The first card is for my niece, who is totally mad about pink, unicorns and princesses...I think it will get the tick of approval.

With the second card, I simply used a tag from one of the papers for the feature. I added a bit of bling, a button and a sentiment and hey presto! (Perhaps next year's card is already sorted? LOL)

Now is a great time to visit the store at Handmade By Suzanne, as Suzanne is having a MASSIVE 25% OFF STORE WIDE!!! Yes, you heard correctly, STORE WIDE (even on all the new stuff). Pop over and have a look at what's on offer - there is soooo much stuff I want, I can hear my credit card groaning in protest now! LOL

Handmade By Suzanne DT shares!

A couple more LO's to share with you - these ones were done as part of my Handmade by Suzanne DT responsibilities...the results of my first kit of yummy goodies from Suzanne's shop! I was sent some pps from the 3 Bugs in a Rug 'Savannah' range to play with and I just LOVE it!!! Bright, pretty and perfect for scrapping pics of gorgeous little princesses!

Here is my first LO...

Besides the yummy 3 Bugs pps, I also used a Kaiser rhinestone word (these are currently 40% off!), satin ribbon, floral lace trim, Smooch ink (to colour the lace) and loose rhinestones from the store. 

My second LO...

I decided to go 8.5 x 11" for this LO and besides some of the products mentioned above, I used a ScrapFX chipboard wordlet (which I cut to give me the small tag) and a Green Tara mini flower (these are so cute and such good value, and come in an awesome range of colours!)

I still have lots of product left to play with so will be back with more at some stage!

WIOIN Year in Review Challenge

Another LO for the Whats Old Is New "Year in Review" Challenge I am taking part in. I cant believe I have just scrapped a LO for May...where is the year going? Scary!!! Again with the bright colours for this LO and back to trusted territory of a neutral coloured background...LOL Love this pic of my girl, she is such a little copycat!!!

Here is my LO...

Another challenge LO!

Another challenge I have managed to complete this week is for guest DT Bec's June Monthly Challenge at Scrapbooking Top 50. Bec has set everyone a sketch challenge with the added criteria of using bright colours, a one word title and foam dots (or mounting tape). Here is what I came up with (as usual there were a few slight adjustments to the sketch...LOL)...

OOTH June Challenge LO!

The June challenge at Out of the Hat is to use a mixed alpha title, multiple photos and doodling & staples (the last criteria was mine!) I decided to scrap this cute series of pics of Brielle playing with a totem tennis set, which gave me the perfect opportunity to use up some older Crate Paper pps I had in my stash.
Here is my LO...

Don't forget Out of the Hat has moved, you can find their new site HERE
