Avocado

WOW,

Happy 2014 everyone, hope the year is already proving to be one of the best ever - How did you all bring in the new year?

Don't faint............(Well I probably will today in 40 degree heat) but I actually kicked off my scrappy new year with a sketch challenge from Once Upon A Sketch with the journalling theme of: Lesson learnt

Here is the sketch:

Lesson Learnt: Kids world moment - Jett found a cicada and came running into the house and told me to come outside and have a look cause he found an avocado, so i went outside only to find him pointing at a cicada, he then proceeded to tell me that "Avocado's can fly you know" - priceless.
Here is my layout:

Remember This Moment

Kaiser Wooden Flourish

Journalling

Kids imaginations and ways of thinking are priceless

I used PP that I received from our local Scrap Groups Secret Santa, it was Kaiser PP and a sticker sheet. I enjoyed playing with the fun fresh colours. I also used a few extra bits and pieces from my stash that i already had.

Hope you all have a lovely weekend, stay out of the sun (especially in QLD) and remember to keep hydrated. Don't forget to leave me some love as you stop by............

Funhouse

Happy HOT SCORCHING Sunday Everyone,

Hope you all had a very merry christmas and will bring in the new year with love, happiness and a positive outlook. I have a share for you all today, I have had this PP sitting around for ages waiting to get the time to do this LO ( I think it has taken me about 4 years ) - oh well better late than never hey??

I went to the P!NK Funhouse concert back in 2009 - gosh if you all know me well you would know how much I love P!NK and everything that her and her music stands for. Here is my LO:

Double LO - don't ask me what PP I used cause it is too long ago to remember :)

LHS of the LO

RHS of the LO

I was really happy with it when I finished and it bought back great memories of the show - thanks to everyone who shared it with me

If you visit leave me some LOVE ( I need it )

Happy 2014

Happy Sunday,

And what a glorious sunday it is today, hope you all enjoy it.
Just a little share for a sunday, I created the challenges for our local scrap group and one of my challenges was to do a photo a day for the month ( cause that seems to be one of the things to do these days), everyone baulked at the idea but some of the girls came through with the goods.
Here is my LO:-

Maybe you should give it a go - it was fun to do and before I knew it I had a completed double page ( cause I love double page LO's). It was a real accomplishment for me to just stick things down without a plan.
Hope you have an amazing weekend, leave me some love so I know you have been here.

An APPLE a Day........

Morning,

What a fantastic Thursday it is......... hope you have all woken up with a spring in your step ready to embrace the amazing.
Speaking of amazing, I have always admired the creative genius of Stacey Young - her scrap work is to die for ( I really have no words to explain really). Well anyway I got super excited when she put a step by step up on her blog so I took it as the perfect opportunity to get inside her brain.
This came at the perfect time because we had a challenge with our local scrap group to design a layout that incorporated your APPLE name into it ( We are Toowoomba ScrapApples and my APPLE name is bappleicious). And this ladies and gents is my layout -

It just goes to prove that everyone has BAD days

Finally used a vine that has been in my stash for 2 years :)

Cute little birdy and other elements

Thank you Stacey for sharing your art and giving me the opportunity to give it a go.
Hope you all have an amazing day and don't forget to leave the love to let me know you have been here.

Just a little bit on the spooky side

Here's your chance to bring out the spooky side of things.

BE INSPIRED BY THE PHOTO.

The extra criteria is chipboard

There is a great prize up for grabs again this month that has been donated by Mystical Scrapbooks

And here is what I have created -

And here is my take on the sketch:-

Flipped it

We had an awesome time touring around London for the day on the double decker red bus - I didn't care that it was freezing and I was getting wind burn up on the top deck

A bit of hidden journalling

Slack...Slack.....slap me on the wrist

I was going through and editing some of my photos and i found this layout that i forgot to share.

It was a challenge from our local Scrapapple group - we had some special visitors at our meeting that night - Renee, Gilly,Geli and Lisa - they had the challenge sprung on them as well by Noelene it was to use a disney button ( mine is underneath the button from LIL RED ROCKET )

I also used the cutest Disney quote as well -

I'm Back......did ya miss me?

Well now that semester 1 is finally over I have gotten back into doin a bit of scrap therapy. I think its absolutely amazing how I can sit up till 1am creating yet when i'm studying I am ready for nitey nites at 9.30pm.

The first layout is one of my Basic Grey POTM.....



The next layout was an challenge that I set for our local scrap apples - you had to draw inspiration from the picture below. I wasnt exactly in the best frame of mind when I set the challenges because I was sick so all three of them were basically based on how crappy I was feeling. I picked this picture because I just wanted to taste and enjoy my food again......



And this is what I created - I decided to draw inspiration from the squares and the flow of the design down the page

And a wee bit of a close up.....

Fluro, Fluro....how I love F#@*ing Fluro

APOLOGIES for the title of my post.......

For our local group challenge Cathy set a challenge that well was a challenge........

Use 1 piece of cardstock, one piece of PP, you can add embellishments but not ones made of other PP or cardstock, Cut Square 1x 16.5cm, 1x 10cm, 1x 8cm and 4x 3.5cm and use colours to match fabric { Fluro Netting}

This is what I came up with:-



Now Leanne was a witness to my "OMG I hate squares" and "OMG fluro, why fluro, why are we being punished" { Hence the title of the post} in saying that I think I pulled through OK - he he
