Happy Faces @ The Memory Nest

Leslie has another great sketch for Make it Monday 47 over at The Memory Nest

So I was inspired to work on this today. 

I used these delightful photos of my little GD Pippi & her best friend Fynn.

Fabulous pp by Websters Pages, with me swiping Dew Drop inks across the page to give me the matching colours & stripes like the sketch.

Gorgeous faces really!

I used some AC Thickers & some really old alpha sticks along with some Amy Tan puffy ones. 

Thanks for a great challenge.

Daily Chino @ The Memory Nest

Well I had to laugh...I printed these photos this morning - but didn't resize them...and they were BIG!!

So I used that Simple Stories pack I have & created a double pager...

Say Cheese Please

Here is a fabulous MIM sketch 37 sketch by Leslie over at The Memory Nest

So I had to work on it...didn't I?? :)

I used photos taken on Sunday 19 April, when my brother & his wife, & my sister came to visit me - just to see how I am going....

Thanks for a lovely challenge...I had fun with lots of Simple Stories embellies, & paper scraps.

I will also join in with this LO across at Archi-scraps & here is their criteria -


Our challenge this month is based on this photo and our extra challenge is to put something at an angle on your page (ie not straight)

 

Lots of my LO's have angled bits & I believe this one suits it well!

Lovely @ The Memory Nest

Across at The Memory Nest, the Make it Monday sketch 35 goes like this...

But I am having page sizing issues...& what I mean by that is I want to keep changing the sizes of my working page, so I am not following the rules...got to break some rules sometime in life hey!!

So here is my 10" x 9" page about adorable little Pippi.

I have used this divine paper that I bought at Typo!  With lovely Heidi Swapp & Dear Lizzy embellies. And of course this wonderful Pippi photo!

Here is a little closeup...

Thank you for a lovely challenge Leslie & DT's!

Grand Parents @ The Memory Nest

Playing along this time with the fabulous Crystal Schneider sketch at The Memory Nest, plus also TBT (Throw Back Thursday)...

I have just sat & worked on this LO as a tribute to my Father-in-law who passed away early this morning...he is now with Norn. 

My Pete has been at the hospital most of the time this last week, & our niece Tam was with him when he passed. So now the saddest time of the funeral will come....

This is an old photo from 1985 when my hubby & his twin & their sister & all of us met for a picnic lunch at Minnie Waters..

I have used a selection of paper offcuts here....all in my stash....

Here is the sketch which I have turned 90deg.

Going Places @ The Memory Nest

And what about this great sketch from The Memory Nest - 

it really appeals to me, just like it is two thin LO's on one page..

making one great memory!

It is fabulous isn't it?

I used these photos of Jade, her Pete & their Pippi going walking along the Brisbane River boardwalk  ...they had to stop for a breather under the trees, as it was such a hot day.

I have used these fabulous Kaisercraft 'Paridiso' papers & word stickers along with 

MME papers,  to set the scene.

Thank you Leslie for this great sketch...I reckon I will use it again!

Timeout Fun @ The Memory Nest

 

And here is another great sketch by Crystal Schneider from The Memory Nest - its a great name hey!

So I have been working on this today...needed to paint & mist the water colour paper & let it dry first.

 I had a jiggle with the sketch, as you do & used some large journaling cards from PL that I was given, bit of washi tape & some fab Kaisercraft titles.

This page is about my work mates & I having fun out at Pacific Bay - a work function, as a team builder....the Segways were the best!!

Thank you once again..

Life is good in '66 @ The Memory Nest

Well Life is Good when you are a child, when you are visiting your grandparents...

so I have scrapped my hubby & his twin brother & a little baby kangaroo that Pete tried to hand rear (but sadly died as they do without their mum...) 

I have used The Memory Nest's MIM Sketch 29

And I worked on this page..

Some stamping & doodling & wood veneers, & dots & misting...just what I love to do.

This Is Living @ The Memory Nest

Well Leslie's sketch for this weeks Make It Monday at The Memory Nest is one I know I will use again & again....it worked so well on my 8.5 x 11 page.

I did tweek it a bit..I turned the sketch 90deg & shifted the title spot...but I like it!

So using some fabulous MME paper, & some KC PL journaling bits I realy enjoyed scrapping this page of my Ben when he was on a hike in the Dorrigo National Park in October 2014.

  

I used the grey woodgrain with greens. teal & blue...& just love that colour combo.

You can join in too...just check out The Memory Nest
