Sketches With A Twist

GUESS WHAT!!!!

I am on another design team...

This one is called Sketches With A Twist and is full of awesome talent!!

I feel very lucky to be involved with these lovely group of ladies, some I have known for quite some time, some I am only just meeting now.

So, the object of this challenge blog is that we get given a sketch and then there is a twist to go with that sketch.

The month is nearly over but there is still time to get your page done....

The sketch looks like this

 

Designed by the lovely Julianne McKenna-De Lumen.

The twist for this month is to only use cardstock as the base...easy!!

And here is my take on the sketch

 

 Ok...now quickly get your stuff together and have a go at the challenge

Quick...get to it!!!

Black With 2

I have been very slack with my blogging for this last month :(

The month is nearly finished but there is still time to get your challenge in at Black With 2.

Here is the colours for this month

 

And my page....

It's our much loved bird Simpson, and for those that know me well, yes there is a bird or 2 on my page (I'm not a fan of birds in scrapbooking, can't explain why)

There is still a Design Team call going on too.

If you have wanted to know what it's like to be on a design team, then this is your chance.

Give it a go, you just never know your luck!!

Child's Play Challenges

Another challenge has gone live for Child's Play Challenges

Lots of colour and good memories associated with this one...

here is the inspiration picture

 

When Braiden was younger we used to watch this show all the time.

The songs and the characters and the bright colours are all very attractive for a young child and Braiden used to love it!!

So here is my page using the picture above

 

Once again I used all the colours as inspiration. 

And since it was Braiden that used to watch the show it's kind of fitting the photos are of him.

I also found a print up of Mickey Mouse so I printed it twice and coloured it to use it on the page.

So go check out the challenges for this month and what the design team have done for this challenge and why not join in :)

There is also a Design Team Call going on....check the blog for details!!!

Black With 2

The challenge for Black With 2 went up last week.

 

The colours this month are just gorgeous.

Here is the inspiration picture

 

 

Lovely soft colours that are perfect for girl pages.....

 

if you have a girl. I have only been blessed with four rowdy, noisy but totally lovable boys so I have to borrow girls for pages like this.

So here is my friend's gorgeous daughter on her sixth birthday....

 

 

 

Head on over to the blog and check out the design team's awesome work and then join us in this month's challenge

Child's Play Challenges

Hey hey all...me again!! 

Time for a page for Child's Play Challenges

The inspiration this time is a picture of buttons!!!

 

Now who doesn't love buttons.....I know I do!!

I have an old tin full of them and I love digging through them and letting them run through my fingers....there's something about the noise and the feel of them that I love *sigh* hehe

So I have heaps and heaps of buttons of all different shapes and sizes so I went a little ballistic with this page....but I had an absolute and total ball doing this page!!!

So here it is

Lots of playing and loads and loads of fun!!!

So head on over to Child's Play Challenges and show us what you can do with buttons....

Oops...

Sorry guys...I have forgotten to share my May page for Black With 2!!

How slack of me...

This is the inspiration for this month

 

Makes me think of very pretty, heritage colours.

And here is my page

 

The photo is a picture I found on the internet that I fell in love with.

And under the photo is a big strip of paperbark from one of the paperbark gum trees we cut down in the back yard. I left it dry out before I used it. The colour was perfect for this challenge. Add in some corrugated cardboard, hand dyed string and roses made from glassine paper and you have the finished product

So why not head on over and have a go at this challenge, upload it or email it in and you could be in the running for a prize. Good luck!!!

Child's Play Challenges

Hi everyone

It's that time again

The next challenge at

Child's Play Challenges

Here is the picture for the inspiration

I've just been to a retreat with a bunch of lovely women that mostly scrap in the Creative Memories style. Since I didn't take any supplies with me to do this page I used a Creative Memories kit to do it, just adding my style to it.

And here is what I created

 

I took inspiration from the colours since Guess Who is game with lots of colours in it.

Head on over to the blog and have a crack at this challenge

Child's Play Challenges

The challenge over at Child's Play Challenges

is a great boy's one this time.

And since I have all boys, it is perfect for me!!

Here is the picture that you have to take your inspiration from

 

See a great boys challenge...

So here is the page that I did from that picture

 I took inspiration from a few elements of the picture....

Of course there is the cars,

and the colours,

but I thought the grid design from the packaging stood out the most so that's what I decided to do to my page.

It's a very simple page for me but I kinda like it!!

So head on over to Child's Play Challenges

and see what you can come up with from one of the challenges for the month!!!

Black With 2 for April
