Rusty Beauty @ Scrap Africa

With this most fabulous sketch over at Scrap Africa, I could not let it go unscrapped...

So what I have done for my 'sort-of off the page', is used a bit of cardboard box as my background. I had worked on a similar 'LO' previously & loved it so tried it again!

I adore ripping up the box & then shredding pieces of the bit I have chosen to use...then starts more fun with pinks, & paints, & tissue & gesso...

then used this wonderful photo taken at Norfolk Island of one of their older rusty boats on the shore.

I used by wonderful Nikon to take this photo, but it has taken the back seat lately cos of the ease of my iPhone.

plus lots of fabulous embellies...Prima bling & chevrons, die cuts, stamps, inks, ceramic flower from Tattered Inspirations, washi tape.....oh I did enjoy this one!

I really enjoy the cardboard bit...but it is hard to display...I should organise buying a 

little easel!

Thank you for a wonderful sketch..

Hugs, xx

A Walk in the Park @ ScrapAfrica

Playing along with ScrapAfrica again with this great travel challenge..

Challenge: Tell us about your travel adventures...perhaps your favourite location, or the most memorable trip...anything related to travel. Please include journalling, even if hidden and tell us where it is.

So here is my page about a little walk in Green Park in London during out 2005/2006 holiday.

I have used fabulous woodgrain paper...I just cant stop myself from using it lately....I love it, that I misted with Heidi Swapp & Mister Hueys, then layered papers & frames around this great photo our daughter Jade took, of us strolling hand in hand.

I have added some hidden journaling under the Kraft layer...

it was such an adventure for us as we had not ever traveled overseas...passports, to long haul flights, to the sights & sounds of London then onto the rest of the UK.  

We are eternally grateful that our daughter worked in the UK cos that was 

the catalyst that made us move!

Thank you for a fab challenge!

Hugs xx

3 scrappy cards @ ScrapAfrica

Over at Scrap Africa

the challenge is -

How long have you had a certain paper sitting in your scrap room, that is just longing to be used and forever remains on that shelf?  What about those eyelets or perhaps rub-ons that aren't so fashionable anymore, that really just are waiting to be used?

I think we all are guilty of creating stashes that eventually are just waaay too big to get through! So this challenge is really a challenge to you, to get out those old papers and goodies and freshen them up!

I really had a fine time yesterday creating these 3 cards..

For my  'Love' card

I went a bit 'hippie' & used a some stickers that were given to me years ago, along with an older BG 6 x 6 paper pad...& happy with the results!

And old A2Z Scraplets chippie lamp was my next little card...titled Home Sweet Home

I used a older 6 x 6 paper pad from Simple Stories - Generations, along with a lovely lots of FWAB pearls & enjoyed 'covering' the lampshade.

And for my final card titled 'Hope'

I used another 6 x 6 paper pad, this time on older Websters Pages pad, an A2Z Scraplets chippie of a birdie inked & all flourished with lots of small flowers & hand rolled ones too.

This was a terrific challenge - thank you gals!

Hugs, xx

Oh Happy Day - Not! @ ScrapAfrica

I have a few online scrapping friends that have been showing me some snippets from a wonderful site 

Scrap Africa, so I thought I would play along with their sketch this month...as I especially wanted to scrap this 'perfect' photo of my darling little grand daughter Pippi.

This sketch is by the lovely Denise van Deventer...I I love her style!

 

And here is my take on this....hehehehe

I used lots of bling to jazz up my page..a funny photo taken in a nationwide building warehouse that I think 1/2 of Australia shops at, Bunnings! You can see how she feels...

Thank you for a lovely sketch..

Hugs xx
