1-2-3 October Challenge - Your Love Give My Heart Wings!

Well I think I'm hooked! The ladies over at 1-2-3 Challenge Blog have come up with another inspirational challenge for the month of October. The three components of the challenge are...

I don't normally use a lot of yellow when I scrap but this months challenge inspired me as soon as I saw it. Here's my take on it ...

I've used some older Websters Paper from my stash along with white  Bazzel Swiss dots card. The Glimmermist spray is "Apple" which came out a great yellow colour. The photo is of my gorgeous boy and I who get married in 4 weeks time.

 

These are a couple close ups of the title (above) and the flower cluster (below).

 I had so much fun playing with this months challenge and I can't wait to see next months challenge.

Thanks for stopping by,

A Little Catchup

Aside from my challenge pages I haven't updated my blog much of late so I thought I'd do a quick update.
  

Made With Love

This is a canvas I made for my MIL for Mothers day this year. I've used a 3"x3" canvas, along with Collections chipboard, butterflies and paper.

Tranquility

Next up is a canvas I made using a photo I took at Inskip Point, Rainbow Beach, last year while we were camping. The shells and driftwood were collected on the beach while we were there... Scattered in between the shells and driftwood are a few Scrapmatts chipboard shells.

Make a Wish

My fiance' and I are born two days apart, so this year we had a combined birthday party. We went with a "Pirate/Mask" Themed cocktail party ..... it was a fantastic night! These are the pages I did using the photos from that night.

 This page "Make a Wish" is of me blowing out the cake...

 The second page is a collage of photos of the night....

In These Eyes

This page is of Tux, he is our American Staffy. Tux came into our life last year as a foster dog.... and ended up a "foster fail" ... he's now one of our family.

Puppy Love

The last page is of our Aussie Bulldogs when they were puppies... they are such cuties!

 I used some really old Prima paper I had in my stash along with some beautiful  Dusty Attic chipboard.

Well, that was a marathon effort .... thanks for stopping by.

Until next time ...

Sweet Memory

My friend Susan recently put me on to a fun challenge site called 1-2-3 Challenge Blog, unfortunately I missed the August challenge but last night inspiration struck! The challenge for September is ....

 Here's my take on it...

 Here's a couple close ups to ...

 

For this layout I raided my stash of older My Minds Eye papers .... these just seemed to go with the photo of me aged 4, perfectly. The definition of "Memory" is a Stampit Stamp on parchment paper.

Thanks for stopping by, I'll be back later with a few other pages I've done recently.

Cheers,

Let's Get Shabby # 43 - Memory

Wow after a crazy, eventful year I'm back and scrapping!

Thanks to the lovely Susan who kept sending me challenges from various different sites as well as photo's of her own fantastic work I finally got inspired to try the latest challenge from Let's get Shabby!

Their beautiful photo for challenge #43 gave me the inspiration to do this page of my mum who we lost to cancer 2 years ago today.

This is the challenge inspiration...

 

 

And this is my take on it...

 

 

This is a close up of the stamp and the flowers.

 

 Thanks for stopping by, I hope you come back again soon.

Lifes Moments..

Hi again,

Well, finally got back with some more pages I've done recently.

Went we moved I came across lots of old photo's I'd forgotten about, like these, taken of me when I was about 17, I think they were taken the day I went and had all my hair cut off. Boy! I'd forgotten it was ever that long!

I've used a spray of Prima flowers and a Tim Holtz bookplate which I got from the lovely Peta at Scraptique, they are just so yummy!

These are some other old photo's I came across. They were taken when we went back to NZ in 2000 to visit family. These are photo's of me with my nephew who was 10 at the time .... hard to believe he's 21 this year!!!

 I'm not very good with journalling so I thought I'd try doing some of the hidden kind on this page.

I made a little slide that went behind on of the photo's with a little tab to pull it out. I've then used some Dusty Attic chip and sprayed it with chalkboard glimmermist.
 

Well, that's all for now, but I'm off to a Scrap Away in WA retreat this weekend so hopefully the scrapping mojo will flow.

Until next time, thanks for stopping by.

Kaye :o)

Hello out there .....?

Hi all,

Wow! What a crazy six months it been and I can hardly believe its July already! Sadly I haven't had much time to scrap of late but here's a few pic's of what I have managed to do.

First up is a floating frame I made last year, it was my first attempt and it was sooo much fun.

I've used a yummy Dusty Attic chandelier which I've sprayed with Suede Glimmermist and then covered with clear UTEE

The paper is Websters that I've cut out and mounted up using liquid scrap dots.

Next is a page of my parents, the photo was taken back in April 2000 and it has been sitting in my photo box for a while. When we were moving house in February I came across it and finally got a chance to scrap it Easter weekend .

The paper I've used is Pink Paisley which I got from Scraptique, it's so pretty and it just lent itself to being cut out and mounted up with scrap dots.

Well, that's all for now, I have done a couple other pages but I must dash so I'll post them later.

Thanks for stopping by, see you again soon.

A Little Bit of NZ

Hiya,

Well, it's been a while, and sadly I haven't done any scrapping for ages as all my gear is packed ready for our move, but I have some photos to share.

Last week I had to make an emergency trip back to New Zealand. My family live in a city at the top of the North Island called Whangarei.

As I was leaving flying out of Whangarei I took these photos

These photo's are of Whangarei Heads

This photo is taken looking towards the Shell Oil Refinery where my husband worked when we lived in Whangarei.

This photo is looking back up the coast as I flew away towards Auckland.

Well, that's all for now, the next photos I post will hopefully be of our new home.

Until next time.

Thanks for stopping by,

Kaye :o)
