Let's Get Shabby #20 Challenge- Wedding

Hey all
lucky I seen a reminder on the LGS site today - didnt realise this was due today.... it was all finished so all i had to do was take some pics!!!

this is my first time giving this challenge site a go. i love shabby type of things so i thought that I would create a mini wedding albulm as i never actually got my wedding photos put into an albulm. all i got from the photographer was the proofs and ALL the negatives and digital pics so thought it was about time i made up a wedding albulm nearly 7 years later!! it really was the perfect opportunity and i love what i have created. it was hard to pick what photos i wanted to include!

I made the calico pages myself and misted/masked each one using Tattered Angels Chalkboard mist. I have used Making Memories Jet'Adore collection papers - these papers are absolutely lovely!!!!

So here it is.... hope you like (as you will see it is photographed in my oragano and chives!! hehe)

Get Picky Inspiration Challenge #4

Hey all!
i havent posted much lately, but have been working on a few things which just need a lil finishing then i can post them up! I am going to a crop night on fri so will finish them there!!

First off have to have a lil brag.... hehe. I am so over the moon to have been featured as the Winner of the Get Picky sketch challenge #3! I love their challenges soooo much!!!! And THANK YOU for the lovely prize pack from the stamp spot!!
I have also been lucky enough to be a winner at Kraft It up and White With One for January!! wow! I am so honoured to be acknowledged by all you lovely ladies for my scrapbooking work. It means soooo much!! At least something good is happening to me, as pretty sure being made redundant from work on Friday. :(

Anyways onto the Get Picky Inspiration Challenge #4 - the inspiration was from the song Forever Young.... I chose to focus on the two lines May you grow up to be true & May you always know the truth. To be true means a lot to me as there are a lot of people who hid behind a persona and dont really know and be honest with themselves.

Forever Young
I have used: Bazzill cardstock, Sassa Papers, The Chip Chop Shop chipboard, twine & Fimo, Purple Pumpkin flower and buttons, Prima flowers, embroidered lace, And the cloud n heart I made myself from modelling clay, machine stitching.






Thank you so much for looking and leaving your lovely comments!!!

Cousins make the best of friends - Scrap Jacked

hey all - just want to say a BIG thank you to all the lovely comments I have received! they mean sooo much esp when u go through n think is my work really good enough n up to standard with all u otha girls gorgeous LO's?? so thank you!

thought i might give the scrap jack challenge a go for the first time, you have to scrap lift one of the fab lo's from their creative team. I chose to scrap lift Mandy's!

I loved the series of photos and natural textures she used as well as how she positioned her journalling and also how she journalled directly onto the page! i tried to keep with the embellies to the left and flow to the right.... hehe

i have called my LO "Cousins make the best of friends" I have used MLS papers, bazzil cardstock, amercian craft chipboard fence, purple pumpkin buttons, fancy pants rubons, and MLS alphas and various other chipboard alphas which i could find... oh year the big chipboard tree is scrapware, twine and made the lil words myself, maya rd pin! phewww....

so here it is.... its diff from my other lo's as i dont see myself as a very good Boy Page scrapper n find it so difficult to do boy pages.......
