It's almost the end of the month BUT......

there is still time to get your entry in for this month's challenge at Kraft It Up. All you need to do is a LO on kraft with a Christmas photo scrapped in non-traditional Christmas colours and incorporate knots into your LO. Entries close midnight on the 31st December.

Let's Get Shabby......challenge 19.

The challenge this month at LGS is to be inspired by architecture. Pop on over and check out the gorgeous photo to be inspired by. Whenever I see old ruins I think of them as a sleeping beauty so I immediately thought of this photo of our newest little missy. Add the cracks in the old building and I just had to make a double LO (12x 12 beside a 6 x 12) and include the piccie of her "cracking up".......I really think she was due for a feed rather than being over the photo shoot coz she is such a placid little baby.....the only time you hear from her is when she is hungry.

I cut up the lace to form small arches, added a left over piece of a chippee archway, cut some scallops from pp for along the bottom and added a generous amout of crackle paint all over the LO to add some cracks and inked and distressed over for ageing. I totally loved this challenge....... thanks LGS.

Get Picky sketch no. 3................

This is my take on Get Picky's sketch this month. I wanted to get a "pretty face" photo of our missy in her Cinderella costume but first we had to go through the "kooky" faces photos. lol. I finally did get a lovely photo but will save that one for another LO. tfl.

It's Christmas Eve and Santa's on his way..........

Merry Christmas to all who visit my blog and thank you for all your lovely comments throughout the year. I love reading each and every one of them. To each of you, have a wonderful Christmas and my very best wishes for a happy and healthy 2011.

MERRY CHRISTMAS

White with one............

The December challenge at White with 1 is white + grey + masking. I llllloooovvvveeed this colour combo this month and the DT examples are so inspiring. This is our newest little missy on the day she came home from hospital. Gotta luv that headband, hey! tfl

It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas..........

at Let's Get Shabby this month. Your creation needs to include your fav Christmas song/carol/hymn either in the title or somewhere noticeable. I love this song (can't get it out of my head atm) Must say I don't know all the words. This is little missy helping to decorate our tree on Dec 1 after she had a sleep-over the night before. Mind you, we were putting up the tree around 7am- fun,fun,fun. tfl

Don't ya just luv getting parcels.......

Some yummy goodies I ordered from Scrap Therapy (got here soooo quick). I needed a couple of new albums and some refills. Got some bargain papers on sale and some new yummy thickers (could have bought a lot more but I was good) and Prima notecards (gotta luv prima) and of course how can you place an order for scrappy goods without a few more trims.

Kraft It Up......December challenge.

The new challenge is up at KIU and this month you need to scrap a Christmas photo in non-traditional Christmas colours and use knots somewhere on your LO. Each year I buy my little grand-daughter a special decoration for her tree so this year it was a cute little tinkerbell. Had heaps of fun using a turquoise/orange/black &white combo for this challenge. I added some very shiny "pixie dust" lol but in the photo it has come out a bit "blob" like. lol tfl
