Heron

My Dad took this beautiful picture of the Heron. 

I used My Little Yellow Bicycle's papers, and chipboard bits and pieces.
The red paper is leftover BoBunny from the Oriental 'Serenity' line.

I love the mushroom.  It's Prima as are the little flowers.

The bling is Zsa.

I found this old photo of my brother and I, when we were kids. I hope my children are having as great a childhood as I did.

Technology was pretty primitive(if it even existed) when I was growing up so we spent most of our days out in the yard. We had a huge back yard at 30 Newhaven Terrace. Dad built us a metal jungle gym to climb on, a flying fox to fly down, a swing (from a tree branch, not a swing set) and we had a mud pit full of Tonka's. After I did this layout I 'google mapped' our old house.There are now 2 more homes in our old backyard and very little 'yard'. Progress.

I used BoBunny's Serenity line for this layout. It's Oriental themed, but perfect for many different photos. I love the turquoise. The corner piece is cut from one of the patterned papers I had left over from my last layout.
I used a piece of Bazzill dotty cardstock in fawn. I sprayed my favourite leaf mask with gold glimmer mist. Then I sprayed a diecut alpha piece with green mist. I stamped a lattice design randomly, around the edges.

My Mum wrote on the back of the photo so I used photo corners instead of glue to attach it to the matte.

The tissue paper is 7Gypsies and the doilie is from My Little Yellow Bicycle. All came from Unforgettable Memories.

Origami Baby ~ Beyond the Door challenge

This is the inspiration at Beyond the Door challenge blog this month.  Black and white and turquoise squares. Love it.

And here's my layout...

The photos are of my friends daughter in a Kimono for Halloween.  Perfect for the BoBunny 'Serenity' line.

April 123 Challenge

I played along with the April 123 Challenge.

1. COLOUR: MINT
2. WORD: BELIEVE
3. TECHNIQUE: BEADS

I did a two page layout using the Simple Stories baby line. 

I used lots of mint green colour.  The beads are in the flower centers and the word 'believe' is in my long title.  It says "I believe we have a new angel in our midst. baby Luka" 

April challenges ~ here I go...

Rick and Breanna are on their way to Vernon, Daniel is working and Duncan is having a lazy day so I hauled half my scrapbook room up to the dining room table this morning and found an early April challenge posted.

Here's the sketch I found at Stuck?!

And here's my layout

My cute little Breanna at 3 months old.  I printed the photo on cardstock.

The papers and stickers are all Simple Stories baby line.
Heart brads are Bazzill.
Flower and bling is Prima.
My background is masked and misted with blue Chalkboard mist and cherub pink Glimmer mist.
Musical notes are transparent tape by Tim Holtz.

3rd challenge

I managed to get a 3rd challenge done today.  For the KraftItUp challenge.

The challenge was:
1. 1 Kraft paper
2. 2 photos
3. 3 word title
4. 4 patterned papers ~ My Little Yellow Bicycle
5. 5 embellishments ~ Prima bling leaves, MM flags, Prima flowers, Bakers twine, punched butterflies

White plus 1 challenge

 There's a challenge blog called White with 1.  This week the colour combo is white with kraft.  Here's my layout...

This is pretty messy for me, but I like how it turned out. 
I misted the kraft background with white Mr Huey's and my scroll masks.
The tissue paper is 7Gypsies and so pretty.  It has butterflies and bird cages and postmarks all over it. 
I put some white Maya Rd rubons around the edges and then thought they were too white so I painted them with 'latte' metallic Maya mist.

The journaling is on the Family Memories card behind the photo.  It's about these two being the only girls in the family for the younger generation.  I hope they grow up to be good friends.
