Loving Yellow @ WW1...

Well I am so glad White with 1 is back, as always have loved their challenges and their first one is a fave for me.....Yellow!! Totally love yellow and you had to of course use it with white plus journalling directly onto the layout.

Here is my layout and a pic of my brother and his new wife in Fiji....perfect pic for yellow!!



For my papers I have used 4 different ranges of October Afternoon, a Teresa Collins journal card, some Prima and Petaloo Flowers, October Afternoon word stickers, Sass Lass chipboard and some other bits and pieces.

Well this will be my last post for awhile as we are heading on Holidays up to Darlington Beach, Coffs Harbour early Sunday morning.....extremely looking forward to spending some quality time with my beautiful family!!

Till Then

Sketchabilities #34

First up this month is sketch #34 from Sketchabilities. As you will see from the awesome samples by the rest of the DT, it is a very adaptable sketch, but I chose to stick to the sketch pretty much exactly.

Here is the sketch...




and my sample using mainly Echo Park and Cosmo Cricket papers, echo park sticker elements, Ac Thickers, a Purple Pumpkin button, twine, Heidi Swapp verb sticker and some Prima

Storyboard sketch..

This month I decided to take up Storyboard Kits challenge to create a layout using a Storyboard sketch, plus I have used some bits and pieces from leftovers from the last couple of kits ( and some bits of my own) to create this layout.

I used the sketch from the site...



and here is my layout.



I am really into the whole paper pleating/ruffling at the moment and really love the effect it adds to the page. I also love the versatility of the Storyboard kits and love the fact that I can normally adapt them for a boy and girl page!

So off to do some more scrapping, till then....

Pirate Day....

A couple of weeks ago Nate had a Pirate dress up day at his daycare, and had so much fun dressing up and learning how to talk like a pirate.

Here are some pics of my little cutie....



and I have used sketch #57 at Inspired Blueprints...



Happy scrapping!!
