This one was for MysticalScrapbook's August DT challenge - to create a winter LO using either cool or warm tones and 2 brackets. I didn't have any brackets, so simulated them in the title with photo corners. PP is Making Memories. Various snowflakes including C. Imaginations, felt shapes cut from I think Queen and Co self-adhesive felt, Jasart papers, and I can't remember where the seals and the largest snowflake are from. Sorry about the flash, but it really IS picture perfect in the Romantic Road/Bavarian region of Germany!
I did this LO for MysticalScrapbook's 2nd colour challenge of the month - black, white, red and lime green. Thought it was perfect for a Christmas LO. Have used KI Memories papers and stickers, together with Prima felt flourish, Bella chipboard stickers and both black and white German scraps. There's not that much black, but I've also journalled in black. Photos were taken last year when I went to check out the Christmas lights - awesome efforts by many families! Will definitely do the rounds again this Christmas :)
Finally finished my Forever Always Forever Family LO for this month! The criteria was to scrap about a pet, use at least 1 of the words "cute" or "cuddly" in the title (I used both), and at least 2 of the following items - sanding (I sanded my photo edges), fabric (I made a fabric yo-yo), feathres or paper rolling. As I don't have a pet, I scrapped about my brother and sis-in-law's gorgeous little kitty cat, Puss-Puss (yes, that really is her name!). I've also used a piece of rice paper from my stash to mat the photo, a button, letters by Colorbok and not sure which company made the pastel letters up top, and a SFL journalling sticker.
I've been wanting to create diary type LOs for some time, but just never got around to it until now. This one is for the August 123 challenge - criteria of self-portrait, lots of colour and bling. The photos were taken when I had to get a Working With Children Card made for volunteering as a Sunday school teacher. I only needed 1 photo, so decided to scrap the other 3 as a snapshot of this month. I've applied Helmar glue and glitter to the edges. Didn't add much more as the BG PP is already quite busy - just the Teresa Collins calendar page, Me and My Big Ideas "smile" sticker and bling, letters by Heidi Grace and Creative Imaginations, and I can't remember who makes the chipboard butterflies/heart. Journalling above/to the left of my photos is about what a crazy month August has been, but how glad I am to have a holiday to look forward to - yup, am leaving for Canada/USA next Friday! Can't wait! Am sure will return with heaps of photos to scrap :)
This LO is based on the August "Scrapjacked" LO on the MysticalScrapbooks website, which I LOVE and so have basically scraplifted the entire original LO! Have used Jo Sonja paint for bubblewrap printing, white felt thingy rubbed with Treasure Gold, piece of ribbon, Heidi Swapp and loose flowers, brads from Target, letters and journalling spot by C. Imaginations and Collections chipboard painted black. As I've used yellow/orange hues, this LO also qualifies for the current UseYourStash mini challenge! Journalling reads "The old castles, the coast, the green grass, the wildflowers, the rain!" ie referring to things typically Irish! :)
I'd bought the All My Memories bee stickers especially to scrap these photos from the Beehive Huts of Ireland, so glad to finally use them! This LO is inspired by the current BlackMagic sketch, and the colour scheme of the month was also perfect for these photos, ie the red/black/yellow :) I've also used lots of PP, which is the current UseYourStash challenge - Daisy D's, SRPC, Creative Imaginations, and the 5th Avenue range which I think is by KI Memories. Finished off with buttons and my Dymo labeller. I'm quite pleased with how this turned out - just love my bright colours, lol!
Not sure yet if I'm happy with this. It's based on this week's Pencil Lines sketch. The large photo to the left was actually a mistake. Wanted to print on vellum, but by mistake printed on a plastic sheet. The ink wouldn't stick to the plastic, so I turned it upside down onto the white c/s and left the imprint on instead! I've also used Teresa Collins journalling paper, German Scraps and Dymo labels. Very simple, but I just couldn't think of what else to do with it!
This is my matching page to my previous "Giant's Causeway" LO. As it uses a fair bit of paint, I thought I'd enter it for BTYD's current monthly challenge to use point on a LO. Materials are the same as before, with the addition of a painted Collections circle and my Dymo labeller.
Well, this is my last LO for "the Guv's" 40th birthday celebration (see here), and the challenge was very easy - simply to begin the title of the LO with the letter "G", "U" or "V". I also used the ad of the current Sisterhood challenge as the sketch for this LO. The photos were taken at the Giant's Causeway in north Ireland. Beautiful spot, but unfortunately, my view of the place was pretty much my umbrella, as you can see in the main photo! I've used lots of paint and bubblewrap, buttons, Tim Holtz journalling tickets, SRPC PP, a Heidi Swapp flower, Creative Imaginations journalling and letter stickers. I also made a matching page, which is coming up in the next post.
Well, this is the last Game On challenge, and the inspiration this time was taken from the game Guess Who. The criteria were to use 1 portrait-style photo of 1 person only, and to journal about his/her personality or physical traits. I've used a photo of a good friend I've travelled a lot with - because of the travelling, most of my portrait-style photos are of her! Sketch is based on this week's PencilLines sketch. I've used BG PP, German Scraps and Collections branches (Glimmer Misted), Dymo labeller, C. Imaginations letter stickers, Me and My Big Ideas fabric quote, flowers from 123 Scrapbooks, and 7G brads.
