This is my layout:

I tried hard to give it lots of texture and depth. I am quite satisfied with the result. Thanks for taking the time to take a look!

Kraft + July Challenge

Good afternoon!  I hope you are all having an awesome afternoon :).  I have completed a layout for the Kraft + July Challenge.  The Challenge is as follows:



This is a very cool challenge!  I love the brightness of the yellows teamed up with the Kraft background.  The only problem was that I had a lot of issues trying to get a decent photo.  This is my layout:

I had lots of fun with this one.  Thanks for checking it out :)

Words and Paintery

Good afternoon.  I have enjoyed my last morning of scrapping at my leisure and first of all I got started on the June/July challenge from Words and Paintery which looks like this:



Lots of beautiful shades of green - so this is my layout:

Thank you for checking it out :)

Stuck?! July 1 Challenge

Hi again!! I also got stuck into the Stuck?! July 1 today which looks like this:



I knew what pictures I wanted to use, but I had to turn the sketch so the pictures were at the bottom. And I used only two picture instead of three.  Then I picked out a cool new paper collection called Jack and Jill by Echo Park which had some very cool feminine colours. The beautiful Heavenly Heart down the bottom is by Charm's Creations.  This is my layout:

Thanks so much for checking it out :) 

Scrap the Boys July Challenge

Hi all!  I have another lovely quiet day at home with an opportunity to scrap to my hearts content!  I started today with the July challenge from Scrap the Boys.  Their mood board looks like this:



Those are some pretty stunning colours and I decided to team them up with black to make them really pop!  This is my layout:

Thanks so much for dropping by and checking it out :)

Scrap the Girls July Challenge

Good evening.  I have had a wonderful scrappy child free day and I have been making the most the awesome new challenges that have gone up today!  I really love the sketch that Rikki created for the July challenge from Scrap the Girls:



I started working on a layout with a oldish picture of my little girl nearly two years ago.  I have to explain the title:  my Dad always say that all babies are born with a gene that makes them like hot chips.  So I wanted to remember little gem of information :)  Here is my layout: 

I am loving this new paper range by Kaisercraft called Chasing Rainbows.  So many bright colours!  Thank you so much for checking it out :)

Show Us Your Stuff July Challenge

Good evening!! I know I am starting early this month - I am lucky enough to be having a week off work before the school holidays (as well as the first week of the holidays).  I am really enjoying the time to myself.  I had a NAP today!!  I am lucky that is the start of the month and there are a whole lot of new challenges going up!  So I got my hands dirty (literally) and got my scrap on.  For Show Us Your Stuff the challenge is this:



I must say, I did a double take when I saw this challenge!  I have had a photo in my pile of some writing my son did in Kindy - which was two years ago. It had been in my pile for almost that long just waiting for the right moment and well today that moment arrived!  This is my layout:

So my photo is off Jaxon's story, that I had to help him to spell out and then there is a PL card that I have 'translated' the story onto.  I have also included a chevron from Charm's Creations as my handmade item.  Thank you for such a great challenge!! And thank you for stopping by to take a look :)
