Snap Shot - Scrap Africa Sketch Challenge no.52

Hello Everyone

There is a great sketch over at Scrap Africa and the start of a new challenge. Perhaps it's really time to play along! ;-)

So here's my take on it.

This was Joe's first year in the swimming team and I was so proud of this boy! He really trained so hard and even though he was tired at the end of the season, he kept with it and was a great little athlete. I have a little envelope under the photo, where I have put some journalling about this past swimming season.

I used the BoBunny Pop Quiz collection, along with a little bit of Lemonade Stand.

There's really some super inspiration over on the blog from the Guest Designer and Design Team...

There's some yummy goodies up for grabs too.

Tag - Mood Board Challenge no.47 - Scrap Africa

Hello Everyone

We have a super new challenge over at Scrap Africa! ;-) I looooove the mood board and it really is a beaut...even if I say so myself! ;-)

So I decided to go along with a tag....you know how much I love tags ;-).....and here is my take!

I had a horrific February month and it is a month I would not like to repeat ever! So this tag was especially for me...to remind myself that Lemonade.....or Gin and Tonic....is the way to go, when Life Gives you Lemons!!!!! ;-)

I used the bright and sunny collection Lemonade Stand from BoBunny and even used the packaging! Waste not Want Not!!! ;-)

Maybe you can play along? We would love to see your take.

Have a super Sunday!

Summer - Scrap Africa Sketch no.46

Hello Everyone

Sorry for being so quiet this past week, but life has just been a little difficult.  So I just took some time out.

We have a new sketch challenge at Scrap Africa here.  Here is a reminder of the sketch.



And here is my take on it.

I used mostly BoBunny Lemonade Stand, but also some bits from Summer Stories Good Day Sunshine. I did some gesso stencilling, watercolour effects and stamping on the background.

My boy loves summer and so this is what this page is about! Sun, swimming, ice-creams, watermelon.....;-)

It's a bright, sunny and cheery page asd I really wanted to capture the essence of summer.

Here's a close up of the background and also some untidy cotton....which I thought was perfect for a boy's page! ;-))

Well I look forward to another beautiful day....even though the mornings are certainly getting a little cooler....the days are still very HOT.

I hope you have a super Saturday!

Lemonade Stand OTP - BoBunny

Hello Everyone

I am up on the BoBunny blog today with Tracee and we created some OTP projects with the summery and beautiful Lemonade Stand.  This collection is just fabulous!

Please pop over and have a look...this collection is so versatile.

I decided to create a Summer Sweet/Cookie Jar. I thought I would love for it to stand on my kitchen counter, but could also be used for s summery table accent.

I really loved the fruit pieces in the noteworthy pack and these were really the inspiration for this project.
These remind me of all the things that I love about summer, watermelon, fruit on a stick and picnics.

I did a crackle base which really turned out to be perfect with these accents.

I also made these little umbrella's, which are so summery and fun too! They were pinwheels to start off with and after some gentle persuasion, loooooots of glue and patience, they became umbrella's.  I will definitely be using these as part of a summer table setting.

Here are the other sides of the jar.

Thanks so much for stopping by!
I hope you have a super Thursday!

Fun Times - Scrap Around the World Challenge June 2014

Hello Everyone

I have been scrapping up a storm and enjoying the creating so much! So yes, I have another page to share and it's for the Scrap Around the World June Challenge here.  Di really give a super and gorgeous challenge.



This mood board definitely smacks of summer and even has a European look to it and so I immediately knew that I wanted to scrap our European summer spent in Austria, 2 years ago. I had a picture of Joe and in mind and it was perfect.

This is certainly one of my most remembered summers and I know is also a firm favourite for Joe! He loved everything about Austria and often asks when we will go again.

So here is my page.

I used a combination of BoBunny Lemonade Stand, Our Lil Monster and Happy Tails collections, as well as a few bits and bobs from scrappy stash.

I used a new BoBunny stamp too, which is the little bubbles stamp.  It's super.

Helen Tilbury had given me an idea with regards to the non slip runner matting and it was perfect for some texture.

LOL...Joe loves ice-cream and so this was the perfect photo to use here too! 

Thanks so much for popping by!
I hope you have a super evening!
