Grace

This LO is based on the current Pencil Lines sketch (No. 85). I've also used 7 pieces of patterned paper, for the current Mystical Scrapbooks UYS challenge. It doesn't look like it, but there ARE 7 different papers on this page. I've matted the photos over 3 scraps of patterned paper, 3 poking out up top and 1 at the bottom, though the bottom one is not that visible underneath my journalling spot. The journalling spot was cut out from a 5th piece of patterned paper using wavy-edged scissors. A 6th piece of paper was used for the swirls, and finally, the 7th piece was used to punch out a few circles for decoration. The papers are by Daisy D's, 7Gypsies, Making Memories X2 different ranges, My Mind's Eye X2 different ones and Creative Imaginations. Added some brads from K&Co and Craft Affair, flowers from We R Memory Keepers, and the Collections chipboard letters which I decided to keep raw as there were already so many other elements on the page. Quite happy with how it turned out :)

Famished

This was based on the Scrapjacked May sketch, which I LOVE! Probably one that I'll use again! :)

- Bazzill
- KI Memories and Daisy D's paper
- Bo Bunny and My Mind's Eye rubons
- Bo Bunny flowers
- StampIt rhinestones
- German scrap

Fairytale Castle

This LO was created using a challenge pack from Scraptivate. Not sure what line every item is from, but the papers are Cosmo Cricket, and I think the "lace" paper is KI Memories. I sprinkled mini mosaics and glitter onto the chipboard butterflies after brushing over with some glue. Added the rhinestones, letters, and inked the edges of the cardstock...and that was it! :)

Believe

This LO is based on sketch 19 on the 52 Weeks website. The photos were taken at the cathedral in Nazareth, Israel - caught this woman deep in prayer and couldn't resist snapping the photos!

Materials:
-Bazzill
-K&Co chipboard letters
-Daisy D's paper
-Deja Views sticker
-Hero Arts gemstones

Another simple LO, but I'm liking simplicity right now :)

Mucha

I'm very pleased with how this turned out! The current "Mojo" challenge on the Mystical Scrapbooks website is to use a masking tape background, and I'd learned this technique at a recent ATC class, come away with a few paints, but hadn't yet played with my new paints! So what a good excuse to finally bring them out, lol! Anyway, the background that I ended up with just didn't seem to fit with any of my photos, so ended up scrapping about one of my favourite artists instead - Mucha. The playing cards were purchased at the Mucha Museum in Prague, and had long been planning to use them for a set of ATCs, but I think I prefer them all sitting on the same page. Am so please with this that am thinking of creating an A-Z of favourite artists!

Other materials:

-Bazzill
-Basic Grey diecuts

The beautiful Brighton Beach

These photos were taken at Brighton Beach, my home away from home when I was living in the UK. Though the beaches there aren't quite the same as Cottesloe Beach in Perth or the Gold or Sunshine Coasts in Brisbane (other places that I've called home), it has its own appeal and definitely holds a special place in my heart.

LO based on the current Pencil Lines sketch.

Materials:
-Bazzill
-K&Co chipboard
-KI Memories paper (just a few strips cut out of it!)
-Christina Re brads
-Prima flowers

Very simple LO but great way to showcase a few photos. Creating this brought back happy memories! :)

Silly Poses

This LO is based on the Forever Always May mid-month sketch, together with the Sisterhood "Silly" theme. These photos were taken at Blarney Castle in Ireland, and we couldn't help it - were behaving like little kids! Had fun though, lol!

Materials:
-Bazzill
-Basic Grey paper
-Bo Bunny and Creative Imaginations letter stickers
-Arrows from a challenge pack from Scraptivate

Simple LO due to the number of photos, but I quite like this one! :)

Another LO about mum

These photos were taken when I lived in the UK (Brighton) and mum came to visit. Journalling is about how mum loves to travel and used to take me everywhere on family holidays...and I seem to have inherited the same compulsion to see the world! The LO is based on the current Scrapjack sketch on the Mystical Scrapbooks website.

Materials:

-Bazzill

-K&Co tag and chipboard

-Kaiser, Prima and Heidi Swapp flowers

-DCWV stickers

-Ribbon

-Christina Re and Craft Affair stickers

-Icons rhinestones

Birds

This photograph is a bit too dark, so the LO actually looks prettier IRL I think. This LO was done using the current Basic Grey sketch, and incorporating birds for the current Rainbow Lady challenge blog.

Title is "Always Cheerful", and the journalling down the side reads "You are like a bluebird of happiness".

Materials:
-Bazzill
-Basic Grey, Webster's Pages and My Memories papers
-BoBunny rubons
- K&Co chipboard letters
-Creative Imaginations sticker alphabets
