Adorable

 Hello and welcome to my  blog. I'm sharing a page today created for this months challenge at Kraft + I just loved this challenge, the colours are so beautiful.

I chose to use a photo of my son Riley when he was just a baby. Blue eyed, cute and adorable but I'm his mum lol. He was always a happy and contented baby and not much has changed, he is now a happy and contented 18 year old. 

For this challenge I had to use the colours - Orange, Teal and Copper.

I have used the colour copper on my chipboard along with the other two colours. 

From the mood board I was also drawn to the beautiful circle photo and decided to do the chipboard to look a little like it. The teal and white patterned paper is a Kaisercraft paper and the white pattern is on it and you can ink it any colour you like.

 

The products I have used are -

Kraft Cardstock

Kaisercraft Patterned Papers (White and teal)

Simple Stories Patterned Paper - Orange Honeycomb

 Distress Oxide - Broken China

Distress Ink - Spiced Marmalade

Flowers by - 49 & Market, Green Tara and Monte Marte

Happy

Hello and welcome to my blog and another DT post for August. This one is for Let's Get Sketchy and its a great sketch. I have chose to use a larger photo than I have been using for a long time now but it was one I had and I love it. The handsome boy is my son Harley.

OK first things first.... I don't normally admit to these things but today I am. The reason for that is I just want people to know that when scrapping and you make a mistake there is always a solution.

As I went to make this post and put the title in I looked at my layout and thought "What the heck does that say" I kept looking and then looked at the photos I was about to use "OH NO!!!!" The title was the last thing I glued down very late at night. I snapped the photos and went to bed. I had put the title upside down. How could I?

Time to think Brenda what are you going to do? Its is an Acrylic title and I used a very strong glue. On removing (or trying) I broke it in 3 places 😢 the paper ripped 😢Things were looking bleak.

Everything is fixable.... I cut a piece of the patterned papers, rounded the corners, inked it and placed over the top of my mess. I carefully glued down the word again. Ok it worked, and again it's true.... in Scrapping there are no mistakes because we can fix them. My secret silly mistake is not more.

Now for the products I used -

Bath Time

Hello and as always a big welcome to my blog. Today I'm sharing my DT post for this months challenge at White With 1 over on Facebook. As always we have a great colour and this month a sketch for you to work with. If you come and join in with us you may be the months lucky winner. I also hoe that my page is able to inspire you just a little.

Now for the challenge and my take on it.

My page is of my sons Riley and Harley when they were very little and bath time together was still so much fun. When I think back to these little boys who used to love to climb into bed with me in the mornings for a cuddle, run to me when things were hurting or they were sad, love a nice warm bath and playtime together I wonder where did my little boys go.
