Stuck?! October part 2 sketch challenge

Another Sketch...another challenge...

Stuck?! 2nd sketch for October...I really liked the sketch and loved the outcome...

Here is the sketch...

Here is my take on the sketch...



I was listening to Missy Higgins on the radio and that's how I came up with the title for this layout...

I love this photo, my son Andy took it when we were at the Japanese gardens in Ipswich last year.



Now the close up....YUMMY PURPLE PUMPKIN goodies...yeah!

i love the flowers Sam creates over at PP they are so cute, an added button and doily complete this little cluster... The twig and flowers come from an embellishment pack from k and co.

Have a great day and thanks for looking

Stuck?! October Part 1 sketch

The Mojo hasnt been as good as it should lately so i thought if I did a few challenges on some blogs it might help me get back into scrapping again...

Stuck?! Sketches is an awesome challenge Blog to get ideas from, I decided to have ago at this months challenges. 

This is their 1st challenge for October....

...and here is my take on the sketch...

You cant see it too well from this pic as the papers are very pale but the title is the saying "Live as though Heaven is on Earth"

The lil one is Mia my Niece (been scrapping her a lot lately - i miss her) I added some Kutalicious angel wings to the 'back' of Mia in the picture and thought that the title went perfect cos she is such a lil angel sent from heaven to us...

Can you see the border on my layout??? its very soft I know and yep the photo doesn't do it justice...but i did that border all by myself using water colour pencils...

oh and the yummies of course come from Purple pumpkin. I layered the felt flower onto a die cut from the paper range I used and then added the soft pink flower button and pink twine tied around the butterfly charm...

The leaves are chipboard I got from WOW...

and a close up of the Kutalicious wings and another Purple Pumpkin felt flower...

The paper doily was 'white' but by using ink i was able to make it that soft lavender colour that it is...

Thanks so much for looking....hope you have a great rest of the day...

Heaven must be missing an angel....enjoy :)

Black with 2 - October Challenge

I'm having ago at the challenge over at Black with 2 this month.

The challenge was to use the colours Black with Aqua and Baby Pink.

Here is my layout...

 This is my Niece Mia, isn't she sooo cute.

I created the background by first using Aqua paint, I then used pink paint and my bubble wrap punch to go over the aqua.

I bordered each layer of paper with my black marker to define each edge.

I created the banner out of 2 different sized dies for my big shot.

I added a WOW chipboard flourish and used some Purple Pumpkin embellies...

Here is a close up of the Purple Pumpkin Goodies...the aqua doily was originally white, i then sprayed it with some Glimmer Mist to make it Aqua, the little pink doily and bird button complete this layout.

 Rockin Robin...for that cute little birdy button from Purple Pumpkin :)

All the worlds a stage...

Well i think i was meant to be 'on stage' but missed the curtain call...

Over at Scrap Lounge is an awesome sketch challenge that i thought I would give a go...

here is the sketch...

and here is my take on the sketch...

 I just LOVE this kaiser range it is one of my favourites...

This is a pic of me when I was around 3 years old.

Ive been told I loved those red shoes and would wear them everywhere...

The little block of writing on the bottom right is a chipboard embellishment that reads..

'All the world's a stage, And all the men and women merely players' - William Shakespeare

Now for the close ups....

 Here you can see a red crochet flower with a bling centre that is from Bella, the cream crochet flower has been in my stash of goodies for sooo long i cant even remember where it comes from...and the cute Rabbit button comes from Purple Pumpkin

 again another lot of crochet flowers and I have also made a rosette..

I love how this banner turned out i double layered it cream, then with the red pp.
