Scrapping at Mystical Scrapbooks 6th Birthday CC

3 fabulous challenges to celebrate Mystical Scrapbooks 6th Birthday!

 

So the first challenge from Tracey Campbell was to use my birth stone colour, Amethyst & birth flower, Rose to create a LO...

So here is mine- I was surprised how I enjoyed creating with these colours, using some photo's of my 50th birthday (ages ago)

The 2nd challenge was from Dale Tiernan, using my star sign...you can guess hey!

So being a Gemini, I used this fab Kaisercraft paper, & lots of my fave colours together.

With Jane's challenge it was to scrap about a period of time.....so I choose 1988...a hard year for me.....it was very catharic to write stuff down too.

Thanks Donna & the DT's for this fab CC! I loved each challenge...

Hello Sunshine...

I have been scrapping over at Mystical Scrapbooks for their May CC...

Although I cannot take a good photo I am really happy with my double page, about the one & only Miss Pip.

 

Then using some oldie photos & some creativity on chippies, here is another page.

 

 

Then here is a fairy at the bottom of the garden....

 

I have so enjoyed scrapping lately!

The Past brings in the Future

 

An awsome challenge over at Mystical Scrapbooks, lead by the talented Anita Bownds

 

using baking paper on cardboard.  And as I really love using cardboard, I so enjoyed this project!

This photo is of an old unused petrol bowser on Norfolk Island, & I just loved it vintageness! It was nearly the last photo I took on the island, as we were on our way to the airport to fly back to Brissie.

 

I gesso'd, masked & misted, & had fun layering.

 

You can join in with as well...just pop over to Mystical Scrapbooks.

 

Thanks for looking, hugs xx

 

Love Always

 

Over at Mystical Scrapbooks this month was one of the most wonderful inspirational picutres that Tracey used...I would show you but the link doesn't seem to work.  So I created this page, using this beautiful wedding photo my Jadie shot recently.

 

I used a pretty mask & fingerpainted texture paint on my CS, then when dry used that mask again & misted, or fingerpainted with colour.

 

Really happy with how this worked out, so worked on a 2nd page for ScrapBoutique this time, with Sharons great challenge of no pp's at all....and here is it..

 

 

Really happy with my double LO - as the pages can be placed either side, with Love Always or Always Love.

Cead Mile Failte

 

Over at Mystical Scrapbooks they are holding a March 'St Paddy's Day' Cyber Crop.  Now the lovely Anita's challenge is this piccie plus green paint or mist...

 

 

 

 

I am happy to scrap another photo from our OS trip in 2006. I used the sort -of triangular shape with flags, texture paint & 'Mowed Lawn' distress ink with 2 masks for my background. My title is Cead Mile Failte, meaning One Hundred Thousand Welcomes....isn't that so lovely!!!

 

Next was Tracey challenge  - to use Luck or Lucky in the title, along with some Gold!

 

 

I used some wonderful Glitz pp, with a craftworks mask & gold paint & then layered lots of greens, pinks & golden colours with this lovely photo of Jadie & I taken at Ross Castle in Killarney, Eire.  Lovely challenge Tracey!

 

My journaling is - Lucky Me, to have a fab, hip, great, true, loyal, beautiful daughter like you.

Been lovely to scrap just for me...thoroughly enjoyed it!

Hugs xxxx

 

Me, The Bride

 

Gails challenge over at Mystical Scrapbooks is to use layering - so I had a wonderful time with some fabbo Crate & BG ppers &canvas tags (thanks Shelee) & used this old & bad quality photo - but very happy with the results.  So you can scrap a bad photo,  & you have the memory there, visible!

 

You can join up with the lovely laydeez at -http://www.mysticalscrapbooks.com.au too...they are lovely!
