SUYS-December round 2

Here is my entry for the 2nd round for December over at Show Us Your stuff.

Criteria this time was to use blues, whites with a hint of red. So I have used only a little red with my supplies and just let the red of the photo stand out. I have also used the handmade bottlecap from Ah Scrap as my handmade addition to the page.
I decided to use some wintery items and highlight that we never have snow for xmas.
I'm not really sure about this page, but its done and I'll still enter it.

Show Us Your Stuff - challenge 2 Nov

I'm almost out of time to get this layout up for the 2nd challenge for SUYS November. I have been wanting to do this page so today I sat down and made time. I wanted to go for a different feel - so I decided on the photo and went grungy and am really pleased with the result.

I have used stampin' Up papers, a prima flower and some Ah Scrap vintage typewriter letter bottlecaps (these will be available from Dec 15th on the blog). Have also used lots of MME accents and tags.

WW1 - Nov

Well here is my entry for this months white with 1 challenge. White + bright colour of choice + flowers.

So obviously I have chosen Blue (which is also my favourite colour) and have scrapped a photo of my son from a camping trip earlier this year.

Now, I'm not entirely happy with this pages, but I will enter anyway. Its a little plain and simple but I often do some of these pages to help get through my ever expanding pile of photos. But its all about memories and not detailed pages after all.........

I have used a blue prima flower which I thought suited a boy page and some awesome flocked prima paper - my new love!!! Plus the awesome owl button from Ah Scrap!

SUYS - Oct

Here is my very first entry for Show us your stuff. This was the 2nd challenge this month and required you to use: handmade items, circles, misting and flowers.
I have added the circles by misting over some scrapware chipboard for the background. Then I've used prima flowers with an Ah Scrap fan flower and a Ah Scrap fabric button.

I enjoyed this challenge!

White with 1 - October

Here is my entry for this months White with 1 challenge.
October requires you to use: white + black + paint/misting.
And I thought being October, why not use this combination to suit a Halloween style layout! Everyone else seems to be doing the 'pretty' style, but I wanted something different. I've had this picture of my daughter for a while and this was a perfect opportunity to scrap it.

I have used some Graphic 45 papers and also some MME. I cut the flocked crow on the candlestick out from the MME paper and watered down some black paint and sprayed it over a doily that I had for the background. I really really love how this all turned out and I love my 'eerie' style page!
The journalling around the outside of the page reads:
'After having your face painted with a black mask to go with your black angel costume, you washed it off to reveal this great mess! I just loved the smudged eerie look of it, 2009'

(sorry for the curled top corner, it warped slightly when spraying the background)
