Kraft It Up challenge!

Managed to just finish the KIU challenge before the end of month! The criteria was non-traditional Christmas colours for a Christmas photo & knots in ribbon or twine. I had fun again with the paint & kindy glitz.

The kindy glitz is rather hard to photograph, but after stamping the tree (tattered angels glimmer screen) in paint, I've tried to create the idea of snow on the tree.

It's hard to believe it's the last day of 2010...the year has vanished all too quick!!!

Wishing everyone a safe & very Happy New Year...hoping 2011 brings you much joy & may your dreams come true! :)

Layouts to share!

'Always be true to YOU' is a layout that I completed before Christmas. I simply had a need to play with my 'brick template' & my new Tim Holtz stamps...hmmm, love them!


'Today you...' was for Sue's yellow challenge over @ Top 50. Funny, there's been a few yellow challenges of late, which must have cured me of my yellow phobia!...this wasn't hard at all!!! :)


Thanks for stopping by...& a huge thank you for all your lovely comments :) they are wonderful to read!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hoping everyone had a joyous & festive Christmas!!!

It's here & gone all too quick, but now comes the time to relax...hehe well, we are in this household! The kids are all happy with their new stuff, which leaves me to happily scrap! :)
& getting into the spirit of Christmas...I couldn't go past the colour combo of red & green for this months Scrap the Girls challenge. It wasn't what I was going with before Christmas, but my blue & orange layout can wait ;)
'Oh Santa, I've been sooo very good' is so typical of my DD...here we are trying to do our Christmas photo shoot...hehe lets say, there is a lot of 'out takes'!!!

Hopefully you are all getting some scrapping time over the break...enjoy!

WW1 Challenge!

The month of December is always a little crazy...add to that, our decision to completely rip up all our tiles in both the kitchen & dining room, it's complete mayhem here!!! But I've finally put aside some time to scrap & other than the layer of wood dust over everything :0 ...it's been great!

As I've never really scrapped in grey & I love masking, I simply couldn't go past this months WW1 challenge, which has been slowly forming in my mind. I'm pretty pleased with the results, though it's a subject matter close to my heart & had to be recorded! I'm very proud of my DD's strength & continued determination to stand up to the bullies!!! Love my 'rebel with a cause' xx
I didn't have grey glimmermist, so I first misted in black magic, then a lot of pearl. I've inked my chipboard white, then embossed in silver...with grey stamping.

Thank you, as always, for your lovely comments...they do bring a huge smile to my day!

Hoping things are not too crazy for you all :)

A new month...

...& welcome to summer! LOL though you wouldn't know it with this weather!!!
With a new month comes new challenges...gotta love that! Here is the December sketch challenge for Forever Always, all the details plus Kye's gorgeous inspiration can be found here.
Also with a new month...comes a new Creative Kit for Forever Always. Check out the details & Sonia's inspiration here.

This reminds me that I didn't post the last layout I created using last months Creative Kit. This is my old SLR which has found new life with my daughter who, like me, is spending a whole lot of time in the dark room @ school!

As we enter the 'silly season'...happy scrapping everyone!
