Master Chef in the Making

 Good news..... My grainy photo problem is fixed. It was no more

than bad lighting. Silly me.

Morning everyone, well it is for me at my home. I would like

to show you a layout I have done of my son Riley. We have just

celebrated his 11th Birthday and today we have his party with

friends. It is a sleepover, movie popcorn night. 10 friends plus

Harley and the Birthday boy. 2pm till 2pm, I know I'm insane or

I will be by 2pm tomorrow. 

Thought it best to do this now while I was able too. I have created 

the LO for the challenge at Creative Scrappers. I love the sketch 

challenges. Kristine Davidson's are awesome.

 

I love these photos of Riley. He didn't want the food spitting in his 

eyes so he went and got his toy goggles. When he come back into 

the room so casual and continued to cook without a word I could not

help myself, out with the camera. He was not only proud of the meal

he was cooking but also being smart enough to stop what could see 

being a big problem for his eyes. Cute. 

 

 

The papers I have used on this LO are from my Kaiser Craft stash.

I love the colors of them. I have achieved another thing by using 

these papers, they are quite old and I have been able to keep with 

my New Years resolution, use up the old and scraps.

The chip-boards are from Crate Paper, the Farmhouse Collection. 

They are lovely sticker backed chippies and I was lucky that they

had these great cooking/kitchen chippies included in the collection.

 

 

  

Hello everyone,

I would just like to let everyone know that I'm sorry for the quality

of my posts at the moment. I have had Heather McMahon helping

me to try and sort out the problem. Thank you so much Heather you

are awesome. 

My photos (on my post only) and layout are coming out a little grainy 

and I can assure you they are nice and clear. Heather has had me trying

a range of ideas and we decided it would be best to go with my other 

camera. Yay we had a new plan as the others were not working. 

My problem is I have used my other camera and I'm now faced with 

another problem......I can't get them to download. Nothing I do will 

allow the memory card to be read. Grrrrrr. 

So please bare with my latest posts that are grainy while I continue to 

pull out my hair and try to fix it.   

Who's On Wheels

 

I have created this layout for the challenge at Njoyfull Crafts  which is

a Colors of Nature Challenge. Narelle always has a few required items

that you must include on the challenge so if you are going to have a go

make sure you read properly and included these items.

1. Monthly color scheme

2. Amount of photos required

3. Choose 4 mediums from the list

4. Title, date and journal

 

 This is the photo color.

 

I chose pearls, flowers, leaves and embellishments. This challenges required 

I use more than 4 photos.

 

The products I have used were a variety. Kaiser Craft rub-ons, Prima bird

house, bird was made by me with a resin mold, Prima flowers, Kaiser card

stock, Grace Taylor patterned papers and tag, paper doily. 

 

Title (Wheels) American Thickers, (Small words) Websters storytellers 

timeless letters. Handmade leaves from card stock,  Pearls from Kaiser Craft,

Veras Ink - 68 Atlantic and the butterfly's I fussy cut from Grace Taylor papers.

 

This was one awesome day for the boys. They had so much fun in the battery

operated jeep. Cynthia, a family friend had to run along side to make sure there 

were no crashes.t was so funny. In the picture above Harley looks a little like he

 is crying, in fact it was far from that.

 

 

Project Life - Birthday Boys

 

 

These two Project Life pages are of my son Harleys 1st Birthday.

I have this month done for the first time Project Life LO's and I 

must say I have enjoyed them very much. It is a great way to scrap

an event or holiday that you have lots of photos off. I always seem

to have so many of the boys birthdays. 

Like my last DT Scrapbookit post I have again continued with the

                            same kit as I was using with Riley. There is so much in it. The Echo
                               Park - Birthday wishes kit comes with the papers,  stickers and 5
                                                                    photo freedom sleeves.

 The chippies I have used are from Kaiser Craft and I have colored 

them with my Copics. It was simple but had a great effect.

The next two pages are of Riley, they go with the other Project Life

pages. 

 

 

The only extra on the first one is the Manor House flowers, Kaiser 

                              chippie, word rub-on and  the Thickers title. Inking with Kaiser
                                               brown and using my dies and it is done.

For this second one there are only three things I used that were not in 

the kit. The rosette in the corner was from Kaiser Craft and on it I used

                               this a green Copic. The other thing I used was Kaisers black ink.

Well that's my Project Life post for Scrapbookit. To have a look at the 

other girls work pop on over. We have all done them a little different

and used different papers. They are all available at the Scrapbookit Store.

A Pot Of Tea

I have made this card for the challenge at Anything Goes

used were all from Kylie. On the tea pot and cup hearts I have used 

glitter glue. The pansy has been handmade by Kylie at Scraptopia and

she has them for sale. They are so pretty.

School

Hi everyone,

I hope you like this layout of my son Harley. He loves school

and it shows in his school photos. 

I have done this LO for the challenge at About A Boy Scrapbook

Challenge. I love this blog. But it is easy to love it when I have boys. 

 

The papers for this LO are from the Kaiser Craft - Class Act Collection.

The embellishments are from Bella and Crayola. The rulers and journal 

tag and report card were cut from the Kaiser papers. 

 

I have used on the back ground behind  the photo TCW template -

Splats. It reminded me of what his cloths can sometimes come home

looking like. I used Mont Marte modeling paste to give it some texture,

something his cloths can also look like (lots of texture LOL).

 

There is still plenty of time if you have a boy in the family to pop on 

over to About A Boy and join in their August challenge.

 

Celebrate

Hello everyone. Well this last week I have been a very busy

scraper. It has been wonderful to get into with the fire going

and glancing at the cold outside. My design team  work is all

up to date and I have had some time to create for a couple of 

challenges. This LO is for the challenge at Bird Is The Word 

This months challenge is a LO with the word Celebrate on it.

I could think of no better one to do than my Mum's 60th. It was

a great night out and Mum and I did do a little extra on the 

celebrations. Hehe. 

The other thing to do was use a sketch. I just loved it, I so love

doing sketches. For this layout I decided to do a hidden journal

on the back. 

 

These papers are from Kaiser Crafts - Magnolia Grove Collection.

I just love them, the colors are so beautiful.

 

The beautiful small flowers I used are Prima and the large 

one is from the BoBunny Blossoms collection. They go just

lovely together. The Rhinestone Flourish - Champagne from

Kaiser Craft. For the scolloped edge I used a die.

 

The lace sign and doily are both dies and I have used a 

Versa Color black ink to ink around the edge of the doily. 

The birds and butterfly are both Prima. The numbers and 

the leaf branch were from the Magnolia Grove sticker sheet.

The word Celebrate was from Bella's - Boutique Insperation

kit. I thought they were the perfect size and color. 

If you get a change pop on over to Bird Is The Word blog and 

join in the challenges. They are a lot of fun.  

 

Riley's 1st Birthday.

"Project Life" - Photo Freedom

Well ladies this is my first go at doing this style of scraping.

It has been so much fun. I have completed two pages that I 

would like to show you. For anyone who wants to have a go 

at this style of scraping or already is, then pop on over to the

Scrapbookit blog and join in the challenge.

 

I was so lucky with the kit I got to use. It has everything you need 

to get started. The Echo Park - Birthday wishes kit comes with the

papers, stickers and 5 photo freedom sleeves. 

To join us for this months challenge you will have plenty of time 

to pop on to Scrapbookit store and purchase one of the kits that

Jo has in stocks "Project Life" a special time and submit by email

your entry. Sound simple....It is. Jo can get your kit to you super fast

and you still have the time to do your project and possibly be this

months winner. 

 

The only extra that I added was the little present from Kaiser Craft

wooden flourishes and I used a Copic to color it. On the other side 

which is below I used Kaiser Craft Rhinestones strip and the lolliepop

was cut out of a picture on a Darkroom Door - film strip (sweet treats

vol 1). All these things you can get from the Scrapbookit Store.

 

When you have a lot of photos of a special occasion this is a great way

to use them. With the Echo Park kit you don't have to add anything if

you don't want too, or add just a little or a lot it's up to you. 

What ever you decide it will make your work look great.
