Stuck sketches 1 March

Have been slack again!  Will have more time in a couple of weeks so hopefully will be able to keep it more up to date.

Yeah for rainy days.  Completed this one today, photographed it, uploaded and now blogging it - wow!
This one came together really quickly.  Didn't set out to do it pink but it just happened and it all from scraps.
Love these simple sketches and love this photo of the girls.

Stuck! sketch

Wow, where has time gone.  Life was so busy at the end of last year and as you can see I haven't posted anything since October!!!!
Completed the January 15 Sketch at Stuck! Sketches.  I really enjoyed this doing this one.  I used Basic Gray Sugar Rush pp and some scraps.  I dug deep into my flower box and found some that had been there for a long time, and one from a flower swap and some bits pieces.
Kaitlyn's word at the moment is Seriously. It is her standard reply!  This photo was taken by Mikala in Devenoport NZ recently.  We were walking back to the ferrie and Kaitlyn was mucking around posing for the camera.
It feels great to be scrapping again.

More Scrapping

Competed two layouts this weekend for the Red Earth Scrapping October Challenges.

This one is for Susanne's Challenge. We had to use more than 3 photo and a green/pink colour combo.  These photos were taken on Christmas Eve last year.  I keep wanting to scrap them but they just weren't right, then this one came along and they were perfect.
As part of the Australian Girls Choir, Mikala sang at both the opening and closing of the lights of Christmas display at St Mary's Cathedral in Sydney.  The opening night was covered on the Channel 10 weather with Tim Bailey.  They were then asked to perform on the last night, Christmas Eve.  The light show on the Cathedral was amazing.  It was good being so close to the girls as they were singing.  Kaitlyn and I were actually making Mikala laugh.

My second layout is for Helen's Sketch Challenge at RES which is also October 1 sketch at Stuck?!  Helen's extra criteria was buttons - have used lots of them.

I love using old photos of the girls - they were so cute.

Thanks for looking and I love reading your comments.

Have also completed Susanne's challenge at Red Earth Scrapping,
We had to create a layout using products or techniques beginning with the letters of  SPRING.  I really enjoyed this one. It really made me think.

All my elements start with:

S - Stamps, sticker alphas, string

P - PP, pink, poppies

R - Rubon letters, ribbon, red

I - Indi girls paper, ink

N - nine buttons

G - glimmer mist (chipboard) Green

I just love these poppies in our garden.

Scrap the Girls

I haven't completed a Scrap the Girls challenge in absolutely ages.  Wanted to do this theme a couple of months ago for another challenge, but Mikala wouldn't co-operate and her photo taken.  I got her on a good day!!!!!
She has to wear a bow every where at the moment.  She has 12 bows!  Luckily they suite her.

Have used paper clips and a bulldog clip.

White with 1

Have completed the September White with 1 challenge.  This is Mikala on her 17th birthday with her youngest cousin Liam (5).  I made the cake and Mikala decorated it.

I am not really good at doing pink, even though I have 2 daughters, but I like how this has turned out.

Thanks for Looking.

Red Earth Road Trip

Wow two posts in the one night!!!!
The Red Earth Road Trip finished in August and I have only posted the first two weeks!  Here are the rest of my layouts:

Week 3 Sydney

Week 4 Tennant Creek

Week 5 Dunk Island
 ( I won the prize for this week)

Week 6 - Snowy Mountains
This layout is white on white (looks blue).  A few weeks late for this one, but I completed it.

Week 7 - Great Ocean Road 

This challenge was any size other than 12x12.

Week 8 - Burnie

Week 9 - Barossa Valley

This was a double page challenge.  I did extra - a double double layout.

Week 10 - Emerald

Week 11 - Canberra

Week 12 - Canowindra

I won the weekly prize for this one as well.

I really enjoyed the Red Earth Road Trip.  It made me create a layout every week - which is an effort.  But I completed them all (one a bit late though) and I didn't do all the cards, but I am pleased with my effort.
To top it all off I was lucky enough to be pulled out of the hat as the winner of the competition.  I was so excited.

Thanks to Helen, Linda, Susanne & Mistra for all their hard work during this competition.
