2 Challenges.

Hi Everyone,

 It has been lots of fun having a little more time to scrap and enter some challenges.

I have quite a collection of Floral themed stamps from Altenew.....Thought it was time to put them to used and create a layout for the challenge based on the sketch below.

I have used a combination of 'Beautiful day and Garden treasure ' stamps. Water colours were used to colour them in.

 This is a really special photo of me and my Nana taken on her 100th Birthday. 

Next........Sketchy Boards mini Easter challenge using this pretty picture as inspiration.

Featuring my Grandson ......3 months old, taken on Easter Sunday.

The bunny is part of a cut file I bought on cricut....I enlarged it to fit the page adding some stitching and of course some tiny doilies. I water colored the heart background using a stencil I created on cricut. 

Hope you are enjoying a crafty day.

Blog catchup

When I think I'm back into some kinda regular routine  posting projects on my blog....in my mind it looks like a great plan but, it has not worked out! So, here is a catchup😃

August inspiration board for " Sketchy Boards" is really pretty! A gorgeous photo and fabulous sketch!

I have created this vintage page using a photo of my mum in her early twenties. The papers from Kaiser  "Keepsake collection" are really pretty! I won them by entering the Kaiser monthly challenge but have not used them up until now. I find it difficult to scrap very busy pattern paper, but I think it works because I kept the other layers plain to keep the focus on the photo.

Kraft Plus had a fun challenge - here is the recipe

My page...with lots of my favorite things.

Next - A friend asked me if I would make her 3 Welcome cards for family arriving from England for a holiday. I have used Altenew Beautiful day stamp set.

Yesterday I had the pleasure of teaching a class at'The Crafty Chain' workshop wonders event with these very talented ladies. It was my first ever teaching experience...omg I was nervous!

Thanks Shelley and Alison for having me and thanks Karen this collage.

Enjoy your week, Happy crafting

Fun Scrapping

Hello Everyone,

This week I decided to take some time out from painting and have   fun catching up on some scrapping! 

I have two pages to show you.......First up.......I really liked this sketch from "STuck?"

My page

I used my cricut to cut the large heart and stars. The xox are stamped around the edges, a little water colour and some bits and pieces.

 Next up

The theme on the blog this month at "Auzz Trinklets n Craft" is STENCILS

I can't remember the last time I created a Double page...I really enjoyed just using 4x6 photos. I have lots of landscape holiday photos that I don't want to crop! I'm combining these pages with project life style scrapping.

For the background I used 'Altenew Draped Floral Stencil' and chalk inks in soft colours.

The pretty flowers and leaves are from 'Altenew Beautiful Day' stamp. Only the outline stamp was used, I then used gelatos to colour them in.

thanks for visiting me today
Happy Creating
