Soul Scrappers Challenges - Sketch, TIc Tac Toe and One Word

 Hello there on this Hot Hot Summery day ..At the moment all eyes are on the north to see if a cyclone is going to be a problem, I do pray it does not do any damage. 

I am popping up three layouts for Challenges for the SOUL SCRAPPERS CHALLENGES on Facebook that have carried over from December and I am glad about that.. 

The first layout I would like to share is for the Sketch, which looks like this..

I  have kept pretty closely to the sketch and used photos of my GS playing outside a a bush Kindy he went to.. 

a close up.

I fussy cut some bush animals for embellishments and used ribbon and ric rac to add some different textures..

Adventure

That was a great sketch to follow!!

The next layout is for the Tic Tac Toe and it looked like..

I used the first row going down, Red/Green tags and stars.

a close up..

I have used red and green, stencilled stars as well as die cut stars and the tags near the photo..

Christmas.

And the last layout is for the One Word challenge which was to use either L,Y or R as the title word on your layout.. and I close R for Remember..

Lots of fussy cutting and layering of the flowers from the papers I used.

 Happy New Year!! It has come around so quickly! I hope you had a lovely Christmas and lets hope and pray that 2024 is a good year for us all.. 

The Scrapbookers Journal has a new issue out and I have 3 layouts in it this time.. I think this edition is the best yet with lots of inspiration from many creatives!  So I would like to share my layouts.. you can check it all out ON THIS LINK HERE!!!  

The first layout is from the Birthday section. I printed out this photo of my Grandies and my Grand-dog Alfie on his birthday! I used some dies to cut party themed embellishments! My layout is on page 8..

Celebrate

The papers are Cocoa Vanilla!

The next layout is for the Multi Photo section..  I had these photos printed off of my Grandies having a great time at the beach... and the photos tell the story of these fun times running as free as the ocean!! I used beachy themed elements and Kaisercraft papers and chipboard pieces! My layout is on page 21.

Run free

And my third layout is in the Monochrome section on page 31. I picked up the colors in my DD dress and had these papers that were a match and did lots of fussy cutting of the papers and the chipboard is from Scrapmatts..

Believe

So I am thrilled to see my layouts among so many talented scrappers and to support Louise in this magazine bringing together our scrapping community..
