Just Be You.......

 Hey everyone,
Its a colour challenge at "Scrap the Girls"

After spending far too much time trying to choose papers, I gave up!  So I decided to just have a play around with some Stampin up water colour crayons and create my own background paper.  
I really like how it turned out :) maybe this is something I'll do a little more often!



Hope you are all having a great week...........Thanks for visiting

Hello.............Selfie Sisters :)

Hi there, 
I'm still madly spring cleaning..... I took quite a lot of stuff to the Op shop. You can't drop stuff off with out having a quick look ......who knows what you could find? Well, I found a bag of pretty flowers, came home through them on my craft table.... They just happened to go with this layout I had started . I sprinkled them around my page , adding some buttons , pearls and bling. 
Tori tells me she has a better photo than the one I had chosen. 
I'm calling this layout 'Selfie Sisters'.......They always take fun photos of them selves !

             

The doily was cut from glitter paper using 'Art Philosophy' cricut cartridge.

I have just discovered this challenge blog  'About a  Girl' .........the challenge is to add flowers. I love using flowers so I'm linking up!

Its a beautiful Monday, the sun is shining.......I'm off to enjoy it!
Have a great week, thanks for stopping by :)

A little lace, buttons, pearls and sequins....a simple layout with some pretty papers and Fun Photos!
The DT are so creative.....make sure you take a peek at their projects.

Its a really quick post today............I am in the middle of a major Spring Clean. I started in my wardrobe, filling a huge garbage bag of stuff I don't like any more......then I decided to do my husbands as well ( He does not know yet ????? ) Now, I'm in the kitchen and Tori is re-arranging the living area. There is stuff everywhere........I'll be dropping it off at an OP shop in the morning.

Endless Summer.....

Hey everyone, 
When I saw the inspiration board from "D-Lish Scraps" I new I had the perfect photo of my daughter to match the colours.
This is my first time entering this challenge.......the theme is "Citrus Breeze"
I liked the sketch so I pretty much stuck with it!

This photo was taken last month at Stradbroke Island.........you would never know it was still Winter, the weather was gorgeous!

I used "Art Booking" Cricut cartridge to cut the border around the page , the Aqua doily and Endless Summer title. 
Here's a close up of all the flowers , buttons etc.


I was inspired by the gorgeous colours, doilies, flowers and mason jars.

Thank you so much for stopping......A a great week

Happy creating

1 of a KIND

Hello.........posting two days in a row is very unusual for me:) But, I have a layout to show you that I completed a few weeks ago! 
I was so excited to be asked by Becky Fleck from "Page Maps" to be a guest designer  and create a layout based on one of the new September sketches.
Here it is........

And here is my Layout........
My daughter took these 'Selfies'......I saw them on her Face Book  and asked her to send them to me so I could use them for this page.


A little close up of the pretty doily and sparkly yellow button.



The papers are a mixture of Dear Lizzy and Kaiser. The star burst overlay is from my latest favourite cartridge "Art Booking"! I absolutely love all the creative features on this cartridge. Check it out HERE.
My title 'One of a Kind' and the tiny arrow on the left is also from this cartridge.

Its so nice of you to stop by...........Thank You

Happy Creating
