February Sketch Challenge

Hello people, can you believe its February ALREADY!!!!!! Means I will be turning the big 31 and will have 2 kids at school (Sophie will be in yr1 and Iona kindy) Its all making me feel old.

Now for this month I am setting you a sketch challenge. And hopefully its one that no matter the style or if you just starting scrapbooking or doing it for yrs, that you will give it a go. Through out the month I will show more takes on the sketch and get the creative juices flowing.

Now for the sketch:

Now for my 1st take:

This is my youngest daughter. I kept it very simple as I wanted the photo to be the star of the show.

The close ups:

 

 

Love this title. I have 3, one for each girl.

 



I have a thing for fences and this one is good value as there is 2 in the packet

Love these windmill!!!! Again 2 in a packet.

The rules are the same, you have to midnight Queensland, Australian time to enter and you don't have to have A2Z chipboard. REMEMBER that the sketch is to give you an idea. As long as we can see the rough sketch its ok. Otherwise, flip it around, add extra to the background. It will be fab to see LOTS of different take on the sketch.

The scraplets I used are:

Head HERE for the A2Z shop and look at the 1500 + that you can buy!!!!

Beautiful Banners

 

It is no secret that BANNERS are one of my favourite embellishments as they are so much fun to use; however, the thing I love most about them is their versatility; you can make them as simple or as elaborate as you wish- there is NO limit to your creativity! The manner in wish you position them on your page can vary too- straight, swooping across the page, clustered or as a border, connected with thread, twine, ribbon, stitching or brads. You can paint or ink them, embellish them with co-ordinating paper, brads, pen, pearls, rhinestones, glitter, bows, buttons, cut-out shapes such as hearts, stars, butterflies, cogs or even aphabet letters for a page title. Varying the shape is fun too- triangles, pennants, hearts, small tags or a combination of them. A2zscraplets have a selection of three at present; however, Julie has created some awesome new ones to be released soon!!! Scroll down to view them and remember you can visit the website

January Challenge Inspiration

Hello, Belinda again with an Christmas layout to give you some inspiration to try the January Challenge. Thank you to all that have entered, I have loved looking at your layouts.

This is a special layout for me as it has all my 3 girls wearing a Christmas dress that a relation of hubby gave to my oldest girl.

The first was taken in 2007, the 2nd in 2009 and the 3rd in 2011. I was so lucky that each girl fitted into the dress

Now for some close ups.

The title scraplet was 'Magic Of Christmas' but I did not need the 'of' so I have saved it for later.

I just painted the all chipboard in red.

Love the font of these words!!!!

These swirls are from a chipboard that had a heart in the middle. As I am using the heat for something else I used the swirls here

The chipboard I used are:

Remember that you can BUY STRIGHT from the website, with over 1500 scraplets to choose from!!!! How cool is that!!!
And you have to the midnight of the 31st of January to enter the challenge and that you don't have to use chipboard!!!!.  I am looking forward to see your layout

Thanks for looking
Belinda :)
