Hopscotch

 Hello and as always welcome to my blog. Tonight I'm sharing a page that I have created for this months challenge at Kraft+ over on Facebook.

At first I thought what a fun challenge I have never worked with actual chalk before in my scrapbooking. Well not the type of chalk that one uses to draw with on the ground like I remembered doing at school. 

 

 

So off to the craft shop to get some chalk. I had a thought in my mind to what I was going to do with the chalk.

 

 

Now for my page. The cutie in the photo is my girlfriends daughter.

 

 

I have used the chalk to create the hopscotch and also the flowers.

When I was reading how Heather McMahon created her work and used hairspray to seal the chalk I decided it was a fantastic idea and I did the same.

 

I used white cardstock to draw my hopscotch so it would show up and coloured the squares. I then used a Posca paint pen and did the outside lines. I then used a black Posca paint pen and numbered the squares just like when I was at school and numbered them with chalk. I then fussy cut it out.

For the flowers I stamped them on the white cardstock. I then coloured them with the chalk and then fussy cut them out. 

 

I had so much fun creating this page and thinking back to when I was a little girl. These days primary schools tend to pain the hopscotches on the ground so they are always there. In my day it was the good old chalk.

Catch Of The Day

Loving Life

 Hello and welcome as always. Today I'm sharing my DT page created for this months Challenge at 

Off The Rails over on Facebook. We have a great challenge this month as always.

For my page I have chose to stick with all black and white after humming and haring about putting the title OR photo frame in red.

The photo I have chose is one of me taken a short time before I got breast cancer. This then made my title very easy to chose as I make sure every day now that I am Loving Life. Cancer made me realize how short and unpredictable life can really be. That I needed to love and live every single day and to make sure I made it the best I could for my boys as well. 

So just a little advise from me and trust me I'm not very wise..... Love family and friends, live life every day like it's the last, face lemons that are given to you with a truck full of honey and a positive attitude. You can fix anything, you can beat anything with positives and love.

Ok enough of this it's now time for my page :)

 

 

The products I have used are -

Black Dylusions Paint

Angelic

 Hello and as always a huge welcome. I'm sharing with you a DT page I created for this months cyber crop challenge over at White with 1. The challenge is by Jane and it was great. I got to chose my own colour to go with the white. As you can see I chose pink with a very old black and white photo that was taken by my dad and also printed by him in his own dark room. Wow now that is looking back in time. Film roll, darkroom, chemical smells, oh such a  long time back. 

This was Jane's challenge requirement -  Please use white plus your own colour of choice and document a childhood memory.

Now for my take on it.

 

 

I hope you like my take on the challenge and a little bit of a look into my life. A childhood memory that I will have forever.
