Scrap the Boys September Challenge

Wow - its the 15th of the month and I have only finished one challenge layout!!  I am going to be a busy bee for the next couple of weeks.  But on the upside I am completely up to date on my project life which makes me happy!! For September, Scrap the Boys set the challenge of creating a layout showing a man in your life being DOMESTICATED..... I knew exactly which photo I wanted to use as soon as I read that.  It has been sitting in my pile of photos for at least a year and fit the theme perfectly.

I hope you like it as much as I enjoyed creating it.  Thank you for stopping by!

D-lish Scraps August Mood Board Challenge

Wow, you know when you have it in your head how you would like your layout to end looking like.  And then it really doesn't.  And you don't really like the result but you have put so much time into it.  That is exactly what happened to me when work on the D-lish Scraps August Mood Board Challenge.  This what the Mood Board looked like:



And this is my layout:

Even my photo turned out pretty dodgy!  The little pink flowers, the doily and the big blue satin flower are all from D-lish Scraps.  Thanks for stopping by....

123 August Challenge

Over at 123 the challenge for August is:



And this is my layout.  I am quite happy with this one and hope you like it too!

As you can see I have used lots of baby pink, there are stripes on a couple of my circles and on the scalloped strip of paper on the left hand side and the word love is in my journalling and on the flair button down the bottom.  Thanks for stopping by!

Life. Paper. Scrapbook. August Sketch Challenge

I love a sketch challenge, helps me to visualise what I am working with and figure out what pictures I might use.  I love the sketch challenge this month at Life. Paper. Scrapbook.




And this is what I came up with:

Papers by Pebbles, Charm's Creations Heavenly Heart, Flutterby Designs flair and bow and stars from D'lish Scraps.  Thanks for checking it out!

White with 1 August Challenge

I have a had a few nights where I have been so exhausted that I couldn't even be bother to pull my stash out of the cupboard after the kids went to bed, but this morning with the boys both at school and little princess having a nap, I thought I would say stuff the housework for a while and get scrappy.....  I thought I better do a layout for the August Challenge at White with 1 which is:



I can do that, right?  Black and white - I happen to have a whole pad of black and white papers in my fat max so I had a good basis to start with and then I started going through my embellishments and it seem to come together.

Love this picture of my little man trying on his Uncle's glasses....Hope you all like it too!

Stuck?! 15 August Sketch Challenge

Last night I decided that another Stuck?! Sketch would help get my mojo flowing so I checked out the 15 August Challenge which looks like this:



And this is the layout I created:

I love this photo, my little man is such a unique child and he makes me smile everyday!  I hope you like it!

Stuck?! 1 August Challenge

I love working from sketches. I am not very good at making my pages balanced without them.  Stuck?! always has fantastic sketches and the 1st August one was no exception. Here it is:



I was looking for a pair of photos to use, but couldn't find any that would suit the sketch.  I did, however, find this old photo of me with both my boys, which I thought would work well as a single photo rather than the 2 in the sketch.  I hope you like it, thanks for stopping by.
