Kraft It Up June Challenge

Good afternoon.  Well it's been a long while since I updated my blog!  I have been doing a little scrapping... just not sharing :-/  Anyway, here is my latest creation that I finished last night with a lovely friend to keep me company... and motivated :-)

I started this for the Kraft It Up June challenge and thought I had gone off track as I hadn't used three different patterned papers (I haven't used any lol), but luckily I had another looksie and the criteria what 3 photos, 3 different types of alphas and 3 or more WORDS IN THE TITLE... yay!  Oh and a masked background.  For my background I used the left over sheet from some Fancy Pants clear alphabet die cuts, spraying with Smooch Spritz.  Love the effect!  Anyway that's it from me at the moment as my youngest is yelling out for me... and those who know Royce know that he doesn't stop until he gets a reply :-D  I will endeavor to update with a few of my layouts I've finished in the next week or so.  In the mean time head I recommend you head over to the June Challenge for Kraft It Up to have a squiz at the DT examples and the other entries, as they're all SUPER!  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a terrific day!

Purple Pumpkin: March Sketch

Hi!!!  It's been a while.  It's the usual excuse.  Either no time or no energy.  BUT, yesterday my friend came over to do some creating with me.  AND I started and FINISHED a layout in ONE sitting!  Pretty good effort for me.  Here it is:

Just a couple of SUPER cute photos of my boys at our local park :-D  I've used the latest, and I must say gorgeous, sketch from Purple Pumpkin.  If you want to join in for this sketch challenge or check out the DT's lovely work and other SUPER entries head here.  I've dived into my *cough* growing stash of Purple Pumkin embellies.  I've used a couple of buttons, doiles and love hearts.  The hard part is deciding what NOT to put on LOL.  I also tried something a bit diff on this layout.  I've mixed some glimmer mist and paint and swiped it accross for the background.  To add more colour I've also just swiped glimmermist over top while the paint was still wet.  You can't really see it well in the photo, but it's quite a nice effect.  I also found laying around a super large bread tag (technically a potato tag).  So I added some rub-ons to that (haven't used rub-ons of AGES).

Well that's about it from me.  Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're having a SUPER DUPER day!

A quick share!

Hi!  I've been missing in actions lately.  Among Christmas, holidays, birthdays and back to school I haven't had too much time to scrap.  But I have managed one layout!  Cute little Royce :-)  I never want to forget his dear little voice and 'balloon' would have to be one of the cutest little words he says.

A bright, fun layout and check out the Purple Pumpkin flower and button... very cool!  Their blog has HEAPS of inspirations if you need it too.  Well that's me done.  Better get organised and go pick Evan up from school.  He's enjoying every minute of it, and that makes me one happy Mummy :-D  Thanks for stopping by and hope you're having a SUPER day!
