Lime Tree Creations July Challenge

The July challenge over at Lime Tree Creations was to scrap a holiday layout and of course include some Lime Tree Creations. I scrapped these photos of DS in the pool on holiday in Renmark last year. I have included 2 crocheted flowers under the Purple Pumpkin fish buttons.

Scrapz.biz 3rd weekly challenge

Last week I had the Paint a rainbow colour challenge to set and the theme was Pamper me. I decided to create my own citrus pamper pack colours of lemon, lime and orange.

And here is the sample I created. I also set the added criteria of having to wrap something on your layout. I wrapped some twine around my frame.

This layout uses a mix of Echo Park Stripes and Dots and

LYB Sweet Summertime pp. I also used a MME Fly a Kite frame and twine. I also included some corrugated stars and some Purple Pumpkin buttons.

Out of the Hat July challenge

The challenge this month was to have negative space, a doiley and a monochromatic layout with white and black allowed. I went with the brown theme again as I have a lot of photos of trees at the moment as we've been out bushwalking a bit. These are of the Otways where we went on the tree top walk a couple of weeks a go.

I managed to poke in a little brown doiley which I coloured with glimmermist.

Scrapbook Boutique latest challenge

I decided to play along with the latest challenge over at Scrapbook Boutique
which was to create a project with a Christmas theme. I decided to scrap this photo of DD and her special Christmas ornament, which has her name on it. I found it on a trip to the UK.

Why not have a go yourself. There is a $30 voucher up for grabs and the comp ends 31st July.

Get Picky July sketch challenge

This sketch challenge went up this morning at Get Picky. I had 3 photos waiting to be scrapped on my desk so that was perfect.
Here is the sketch:


And here is my interpretation. I now seem to be stuck in browns, krafts and naturals. Just seem to have a lot of photos at the moment which go with this combo.

My second challenge at Scrapz.biz

My 2nd Guest Designer challenge is up at Scrapz.biz This week I had to set the Fetch a Sketch challenge with the theme 'Oh No!'. This was my first time creating a computer generated sketch. Anyway here it is.

I added the extra criteria to include splatters of ink or paint as if you had had an accident.

And here is my sample using products from the shop: Bo Bunny Barefoot and Bliss, Jillibean Soup Gazpacho Soup and Little Yellow Bicycle Sweet Summertime. I also used some more of that devine Websters Bloomers.

My favourite layout

Purple Pumpkin is running a comp to be a guest designer. All details can be found on their blog but basically you have to link to your favourite layout and mention PP. It was a difficult decision choosing my favourite but I think this one is my all time favourite. I love bright colours and I just love the flow of the layout. I used a Purple Pumpkin apple button too!!
