MUCH LOVE

 Pink Fresh studio have a gorgeous mood board this month, all in the name of love! You can find the challenge on the Pink Fresh studio blog! Www.pinkfreshstudio.com under monthly challenges! 

Here is my page! I took inspiration from the variety of hearts and the words of love! 

And some close ups!

I used an epoxy badge from ‘simple and sweet’, and the puffy sticker words ‘you got this’ and ‘yay’ from office hours. ‘You are awesome’ from Indigo hills 2 phrase stickers! So a bit of a mix of everything! 

The title ‘MUCH LOVE’ comes from the ‘Hello’ card!

Thanks for an inspiring challenge!

I’m looking forward to see what you have in store for us in March!

Cheers

Archi-scraps - Alien Invasion!

Over at Archi-scraps this month they are using 'domes' as there inspiration.

You can find the challenge here

Here is the inspirational picture!

Add a dome to your creation....

Here is my interpretation, I used a dome shaped space ship

and dome shaped aliens!!!

Journaling says.....

Futuro or Futuro House, is a round, prefabricated house
designed by Matti Suuronen of which fewer than 100 were
built during the late 1960s and early 1970s. The distinctive
flying saucer like shape and airplane hatch entrance has
made the houses popular among collectors. The Futuro
is composed of polyester plastic and fibreglass,
measuring 4 metres high and 8 metres in diameter.

There is a future by the Go Cart track at the Grand Prix
Training Centre ( 465 McDonalds Rd South Morang Vic
3752) in Australia.

This one formerly stood on the edge of a 1970s housing estate in Apollo Parkways (north of Greensborough), where it was used as the estate agent's sales office for the subdivision. It stood on the corner of the Diamond Creek Road and Plenty Valley Drive. I remember it being there when I was a kid.... it was doubly fascinating to us, because there was one of those giant spherical water towers behind it - the type that we used to nickname "Chupa-chups" for obvious reasons. 

The water tower has gone, and the UFO was relocated to South Morang, where it remains today. Yes, it is being used as a storeroom but still retains its original kitchen and bathroom fitout within. The "Now Open" sign in the windows dates from that period. It was very innovative at the time. I loved it from the first time I saw it and it's so good that we still get to see it after all these years."

The Futuro was featured on the cover of the Autumn 2010 issue of Architect Victoria Magazine with a short article appearing inside the magazine. The history of the building is briefly retold, with a recent collage of photographs on the front cover. This magazine - a special themed issue devoted to post-Second World War heritage - can be perused online.

 The little aliens were paper pieced by Moi!

Thanks for a great challenge Julene and team.

Mystical Scrapbooks - Scrapbook Gourmet

Hi Friends!

Over at Mystical Scrapbooks they are having an eight week 

Scrapping challenge called 'Scrapbooking Gourmet'

Week one is 'Amuse - Bouche'

 

An amuse-bouche is a bite-sized hors d'oeuvre. 

There may be one or more served on the plate and generally, they follow a theme.

They are different from appetizers in that they are not ordered from a menu by patrons but are served free and according to the chef's selection alone.

CRITERIA

Use two or three small photos 

Lots of white space

Technique - Layering

Kit item - sequins

Here is my take on the challenge

'Teddy'

I used three small photos and made little bite size scrapping clusters

Each cluster is delicate and small just like the chefs 'Amuse-Bouche',

you could pop each one in your mouth.

...and some close ups!

and 

Thankyou for a great first challenge donna and team!

and

Looking forward to the next tasty morsel in week two challenge!

Cheers
