D'lish Scraps

Haven't entered a challenge or posted anything for ages.  I really love this layout and it fitted with the Inspiration Board of a pop of neon for this month.  Have used lots of  D'lish goodies as well.  Thanks for the very prompt service Amanda.  Hope you like it.

123 Challenge

This months 123 Challenge was to use:

 Here is my layout:

I love that this layout ended up very simple.  I have had that book page floating around for many years, and have finally used it.

Challenges

I have also completed a few challenges for February.

The first one is for Black with 2.  This month the theme was Yellow & Blue with dominant Black.  Just loved this colour combo.

 

Here is my layout: 

This next layout is for Flourish with a Bling back to school challenge.  Just had a look through all the lovely entries and I think mine is the only one with a child towards the end of school!!!!!

Loved this challenge, loved using red white & blue, the school colours.

The next layout is for Scrap Everything sketch challenge:

Time to feed the animals and get dinner organised.  Still have a couple more layouts to post, so fingers crossed will get back here soon.

Still here

I knew it was a while since I blogged but didn't realise it was that long ago!

At the end of January I spent a day scrapping with the beautiful Michelle Thomas from Scrapbook Diva's at one of their crop days.  I did 4 layouts on the day all of which were just for fun!!

Two more layouts

The next layout is for Kraft it Up.  This month their challenge was to create a minimalist layout with white space.

Loved using my new template.

My last layout is for 123 Challenge.  This one wasn't easy for me as I really don't do pastels!  The criteria was Colour - Pastel, Work - Sweet, Technique - use Wire.  It really did take a while for me to get my head around this one.  I had this photo on my desk and it just dawned on me how to use it.
Here it is:

I am quite pleased with how this one turned out and I used my new chevron cutter.

Last day of the month again!

I know we say it all the time, but I just can't believe how quick November flew by.  So much has been happening in our household.
The HSC and Yr 10 exams are now over. The Yr 12 formal has been and gone, just need to get through the Yr 10 formal on Monday night.  Mikala been to Noosa for schoolies and is now in Perth for Choir.  We have had a dancing concert and a choir concert (together with all the rehearsals).  It really doesn't seem much when I list it here, but coupled with all the other things that happen on a day to day basis and some sickness, it has been very hectic.  Luckily we have a quiet week and then all the Carols stuff starts for Mikala culminating in their performance at Carols in the Domain on the Saturday before Christmas.

In the last week I have manged to do some scrapping.  Luckily they have all come together quite easily.

First one completed was for the November 15 Stuck Sketch

   


Just love the simplicity of the sketch.  I love these yellow roses which are in our front garden.  It was drizzling as I drove up the driveway and I caught sight of this rose.  Even in the drizzle it was so bright and happy.  Had to snap it straight away.  Love the raindrops on the leaves.

The next layout is for Black with 2.  The colour combo for November was Light Pink and Dark Pink on Black (with a touch of white).

This is a great photo of Kailtyn taken by Mikala.  She probably bopped her for taking the photo.  I think I knew exactly what was going to happen.

Mud Pools

I have done something different with this months sketches at Stuck.  I used both of them and created a double layout!!!  I wasn't getting anywhere with the 1 October Sketch, but as soon as the 2nd one came out I know exactly what I would do.

October 1 Sketch

and my layout.

October 15 Sketch

and my layout:

and both layouts together.  I love the patterns in the mud.  Unfortunately the day we were there it was raining and it was all a bit grey.
