Soul Scrappers Challenges - Tic Tac Toe & One Word

 Hello there on this tuesday evening (for me!). I hope things are going well in your part of the world..

We are in Spring, but it sure cant make up its mind about the weather, it remains dry, but I cant pack the winter gear away just yet! anyhoooo I would like to share two layouts I have created for two challenges over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook  and they are ...

For the Tic Tac Toe..

  


I chose the right hand row down, border punches, camera and banner..

and one little closeup of the camera which I cut out of papers.


Book Week


I have used three different border punches, the camera is there and the banner is the title.. I am so glad I dont have to find dress ups for book week these days, as the standard is so high!! But I have to admit my Grandie makes a cute little Cowgirl!!

The other layout I would like to share is for the One Word and the letters to choose from are D, N and C and I went with C for Cherish..

A closer view


I have used a new Charms Creations heart layered with fussy cut elements..

Cherish


Thank you to Soul Scrappers for the challenges which I enjoyed creating for.. I might just get some more creating done before the end of the month, there is still time.. so perhaps I will be back soon with another page or two.. humm. I will try!

thanks for coming on by, do take care.. until next time..

Scrapbookers Journal Issue 5

 Hello there, and Hello Spring..  The month is off and running already the 3rd day of the month.. I am now in the season of Spring a wonderful season up this way with gardens bursting with flowers. I am looking forward to seeing my roses begin to bloom after winter pruning and bringing the blooms inside to enjoy. 

I would like to share my layouts that I created for the latest edition of SCRAPBOOKERS JOURNAL ISSUE 5  which is out now.. It is chock full of inspiration from many scrapbookers and each issue seems to be bigger than the last one.. And of course it is such a buzz to see one of your own layouts in there..This month I have 3 layouts and I was so excited to see my layout on the cover! My handsome Grandson is the photo featured.. so without further ado!

My cover layout..

I have created a cluster with a die cut star, a Charm's star and fussy cut teddy bear.. a bit of stamping on the background too..

All Boy


I have used various bits and pieces that I have had for ages, the title I have had for years. So excited to see my layout on the cover!!

The next layout was for the Rainbow layouts.. I had a photo of my Grandie in a multi colored dress and I have used Cocoa Vanilla papers.

a closer view..


I cut the colored arches out and fussy cut flowers and butterflies and tucked some under the edges and stuck the others for some added interest...as well as some enamel hearts and bling .

You brighten my world


And my third layout is in the Moodboard section.. 

A closer view.


Lots of fussy cutting, some lace and stencilling..
