Full reveal of Rainbow Splendour guest designer page

Hi,

Just realised I haven't shared the full version of the page I created for my guest designer spot at  Rainbow Splendour earlier this month. I'm enjoying scrapping my 17 year old son at the moment. We bought him this suit for his valedictory dinner, which was a couple of nights ago. Hard to believe he will be leaving school next week and his exams will all be over in a month.

For the background I sprayed some Glimmer mist through a Kaisercraft stencil. Then I added the little dots using Viva Decor Ferro and a Crafters Workshop stencil. Then I stamped a few times with Distress ink and my favourite stamp from Scrap FX. Finally I added some raw chipboard chicken wire. I used a mix of Echo Park pp and a mix of embellishments from Rainbow Splendour - the fabric pinwheel, the heart and the felt chevron, Little Yellow Bicycle and Pink Paislee.

Here are a few close ups:

Scrap the Boys Sept challenge

Yay, I have managed to get Layout No. 14 for the month done! This one is for Scrap the Boys The September challenge is 'Domesticated'. This is a layout of DS. We sent him to Montessori Preschool when he was 3 as he really needed something to stimulate him more than the 2 hours a week 3-yr old kinder. There they believed in the children cutting up their own apples and washing up their plates after eating. I toyed with making this photo black and white as I didn't think I would be able to match it with the purpley top DS is wearing but decided to pick up on the read and turqoise of the washing up and the brown stripe of his sweat shirt. The pp from the Rough and Tumble Carta Bella collection went well with the photo and was another collection I had bought (just the 6x6 pad and stickers) and never used. The die cut background is from Jillibean Soup and I also used a pinwheel from Rainbow Splendour and a flair from D-Lish Scraps.

And here is a couple of close ups.

Stuck?! Sketches 1st Sept sketch

Hi,

Back with another layout. This is the 13th I've completed this month. Really pleased to get back into the scrapping groove.

Last weekend DD and I went to The Block Glasshouse Open for Inspection. She got her photo taken with some of the contestants and with Kyle and Kara from Fans v Faves, who were her favourite couple last year. Everyone waiting in line was given a pink t-shirt to wear to promote the Breast Cancer Council. It had the logo 'Real men wear pink' on it. I decided to scrap a page about it.

Here is my take on the Stuck?! sketch for 1st September. 

and here is the sketch it was based on.

You never know I might get one or 2 more pages finished this month!

Off the Rails Scrapbooking Sept challenge

Hi, back for a second time today to share my take on the Off the Rails Scrapbooking challenge this month.

As soon as I saw the mood board for this months challenge I knew I had the perfect photo to go with it. Last time we were in the UK, Eleanor tried on this blue and gold mask and I snapped a picture of her doing so. I've been meaning to scrap it for ages and had already got some chipboard to go with it.

Anyway here is my take - used up a bit more of my old Basic Grey stash here.

I covered my chipboard mask with Viva Decor Inka Gold in cobalt blue and then got out the old kindyglitz in gold and outlined the edges and the swirls.

I had some homemade felt flowers that matched perfectly and added a {ScrAp this!} gold doily cut in half.

I stamped and embossed a feather as a background to each cluster before adding real feathers.

Thanks for looking.

Final The Scrap Suite cybercrop challenge

This is the last page I created for the cybercrop over at The Scrap Suite. The challenge was to created a project/layout upcycling something. I had several starts at this before coming up with this take:

I upcycled the background of some alphas, some tin foil from a patty tin which I die cut and embossed and a couple of clothes tags. I love how it turned out. I used some pp and embellishments from the Kaisercraft Attitude range, some black wire, some  metal washers. I also stamped and embossed some circles.

Here are some close ups:

Thanks for looking.
