Big Smile

Here is Jennas take on the inspirational movie poster at FS2S this month.

You had to take your inspiration from the movie poster ''Holiday Inn'

For an extra 6 bonus points :)

1) Use music sheet pp on your page = 1 pt
2) Two tone title = 2 pts
3) Lets see some red and navy on your page = 3 pts

 

Jenna doesnt have a blog so I'm uploading here :)

I think Jenna did pretty well this month, mind you she has used some of my favourite bits and pieces that I was saving for another project. I gave her a bit of advice and got her to add a few more embellies as it was looking a bit bare at one stage....but I think her end result turned out cool...mind you she is not in the running for any prizes.  This is all just practise for her.......... lol

Machu Picchu - City in the Clouds

Here is my entry for Scraphappy Kats FNC (Friday Night Challenge). This week you had to take your inspiration from one of Kats scrapbooking layouts and it must be monochromatic (same color, different shades). You must have your entry emailed to Kat by midnight Tuesday..

I just loved Kats inspirational piece...how cool are those 

colored photos against the shades of brown!

Now here's mine....

I went with shades of Yellow!!!

I dont think I have ever done a monochromatic layout using Yellow!

But Hey!! I think it turned out super......

Machu Picchu - City in the Clouds

Journaling says......

Adams trip to Peru in early 2011.

Here he is, at the Inca city of Machu Picchu.

He said it was one of the most amazing places he has ever seen.

Adam described it as a beautiful and peaceful place.

The city just blends into the hillside.

It has the most amazing terraces, temples and aquaducts

and here is close up!!

....Duke loves snuggling under this crochet rug in his basket. I saved it from being tossed out when we sorted through my mums stuff. This rug was crocheted by my grandma and has seen better days. It has holes in it and is quite worn. Duke loves it!

Up with the Birds!

Here is my take on Jane Howdens FIRST challenge at Soul Scrappers. If you would like to join in, you have until Monday 22nd of August to upload your entry to the Gallery :)

Here are the details....

Getting up each morning!!

For this layout challenge I’d like you to focus on one or more elements of your daily getting up routine.  Do you roll out of bed in a cheerful mood and head out the door for a morning walk?  Do you perhaps enjoy yoga or tai-chi either outside in the fresh air or perhaps in your sunny living room?  Do you, like me, head straight for the kitchen to make a piping hot cup of tea or coffee to help shake those morning drearies?  Maybe you aren’t fully focused until you have eaten breakfast or had a hot refreshing shower or possibly your method of coping with the morning is to hit that snooze button, pull the covers over your head and go back to sleep for a few more precious minutes!

Do a page telling us what it is you do first thing each morning.

And a close up!

Journaling says....

I’m up and out of bed at 5.15am daily.

First up feed the cats.

Next a cup of white tea in my favourite panda cup 

I usually grab a ski yogurt and grains or some toast and vegemite (yum!)

I sip my tea whilst trawling through my emails.

Next…….Dress in my work uniform, Hair, Make up, Teeth…Oops almost forgot lunch!!!

I’m out the door to get to work by 6.45am, I start on the floor at 7am.

Thank heavens work is 5 mins from home.

Gee!! I’m already exhausted !!! lol

Cheers

Scraphappy Kat - August Sketch

Hi Ladies!
Here is my entry for Scraphappy Kats FNC (Friday Night Challenge). This is my first entry and I hope to join in quite often in the future. The sketch is a little faint but I loved the layout of the elements and it was just perfect for a movie world page of my kids when they were quite young.

Here is the sketch.....

Okay the only requirement for tonight is this......you can use only 2 colours black and yellow, green and pink, orange and purple..whatever you like....any variations of the same colours is fine, so you may choose blue and pink and use several shades of each colour.. ..so girls go to it!!  Have fun

Kathie -xoxo 

Movie World

I went with the color scheme brown and yellow

and here is a close up

Most of the embellies came from the 'Magpie Club' bits and bobs kit

Unlock your heart

Here is my entry for Deb's Theme challenge at Soul Scrappers.

For the TH38 challenge I want you to scrapbook (either digitally or traditionally) something that you would or need to Unlock.....our them is Unlock your____.  Along with centering your page around this theme I want you to add a lock/key of some sort.....it can be stamps, stickers or any type of embellishment.  So get started----what is it that you want to unlock...... - Deb Horst

 and a close up!

I went with a mixed media canvas and used the paper rolling technique. I added an embossed felt love heart and key (unfortunately I dont have any locks!)

I loved how this turned out...but you should see the mess on my desk for such a lttle project :(

Hope you like!

Tracy's Friday night class at Scraphappy Kats Retreat 2011

ADORE

Here is my Friday night page from Tracy's (my2angels) class at Kats 2011 retreat, where we played with the Tim Holtz Blending Tool, using a resist technique on chipboard gates and created a layered border with pattern paper, gold chain and lace

The photo is of my Mum 'Melvie' when she was little living in Sydney. 

and a close up!

My chipboard title coloured by using Tim Holtz Distress Stains and a "finger wipe" of gold stickles

The chipboard flourish (at the top of the page) again coloured with Tim Holtz Distress Stains and using some of Tracy's gorgeous brown gardenias and  resin flowers from her online shop. 

(You can get to my2angels shop from here).

Chipboard gates with charms, roses, stemmed flowers and charms

We also got a chipboard momento to use on our page (it has a little cat on it!)

Santas Helper

Here is my entry for Debi's Ebony and Ivory challenge plus RED, on Soul Scrappers. You can get to Soul Scrappers from here.

Journaling says....

This is Jarred, first year at High School. He was in the production of Narnia, as Santas Helper. He never got to act his part out as he became very sick. I think it was a case of stage fright.
