Busy, Busy,Busy

I have been soooo busy this month I have neglected my blog!!

A couple of layouts to share tonight from some challenge sites - My Mojo is a little down at the moment so turning to these awesome challenge blogs helps me keep scrapping...soon I hope the Mojo is back in full :)

this first layout is for White with One, using White, Yellow and stars...this is what I came up with...

The title (is long -LOL)

If I could reach up and hold a Star for every time you made me smile the entire sky would be in the palm of my hand.

I used my Bigshot and Xcut Star Dies to create this star 'lollipop'

This next layout is for 2 challenge blogs, Black with 2 and Bird Is the Word...

Black with 2 - using black, orange and lime, and Bird is the word - Word= Music

Andy love listening to music, its his very own way to chill and relax and get away from his annoying little brother...

This small cluster includes...From Purple Pumpkin...Doily music paper, Large green spotted button and Black doily....you can also see the white/orange twine too

This cute little charm is a music robot I got from D-Lish.

Whats happening on Scrap Lounge - October

This month on Scrap Lounge we have gone PINK to honour brave friends and family members who have battled, or are battling breast cancer.

As always we have our Sketch Challenge with the theme 'Tickled Pink'

Here's the Sketch...designed by me :)

and this is my take on the sketch...

The technique challenge is to use  Texture Backgrounds

this is an owl canvas I created. The background was made by using tissue paper and mod podge.

If you would like to join in on the fun for the ATC, the theme is...you guessed it...'Pretty in Pink'

Create your ATCs using ONLY pink papers and embellishments

(small amounts of white and black are permitted)

So make sure if have put your name down for the ATC group by the 7th of October

The Scraplounge Cyber Crop is on again from Oct 19-22 and the theme is Halloween/Fancy Dress.

So start searching for those old Halloween pics you havent scrapped and join us for an awesome weekend of fun, and dont forget the Bingo Crown could be yours :)

Kraft it up Septemebr Challenge

Over on the Kraft it up Blog this month the challenge is an awesome colour one...the colour combo is...

and here is my layout i created using the combo...

I went through my scrap box and was able to find the papers i needed for this layout, i used black distress stain, green paint, and white ink with a mask to create the back ground. I have also used gutter guard (love using this on boyish layouts), I have used a Kraft tag from Purple Pumpkin, and the windmill I created using green spotted washi tape with white and black paper. I had lots of fun creating the background for this layout cos I got really messy :)
