April Challenges, Black Magic Sketches, Whats in the Bickie Tin and Soul Scrappers

 Well Hello, can you believe we are nearing the end of April already?? It does not seem that long ago since I put up the layouts for March, and here I am making a post for the April layouts.. hummm. no words.. hehe.. 

anyhoo.. the first layout I would like to share is for the challenge over at Black Magic Sketches on Facebook and it looks like...

To be inspired by this sketch, use at least 2 of the colors on black cardstock base.. I have followed the sketch pretty closely, but have used a journaling card instead of a second photo..

One of the clusters on my page.. fussy cut and paper flowers instead of stars.

Treasure every day

I love a bit of stencilling on the black cardstock!! Instead of the ripped edges I have cut mine straight and added a bit of lace and punched edging..

The next layout I would like to share is for the challenge over at What's in the Bickie Tin on facebook and this month it is to use this quote on your layout.

Well I have used a fun photo of my hubby and I and our two grandies!! Thats a favourite place to be, with them!!

Layered up flowers and embellies.

Together is our favourite place to be.

Love this photo!!

And the next two layouts are for challenges over at Soul Scrappers.. The next layout is for the One Word Challenge at Soul Scrappers and it is to use either a W , R or N word as the title of your layout. I chose the word Remember and used a photo of my Daughter and husband and family on Anzac Day last year.. a day to remember the sacrifice given by so many. Lest we forget..

Remember

I have kept this page fairly simple in design and the embellishments to a minimum. and I am happy how this turned out.. the fussy cut poppies are printables.. 

and the last layout I would like to share is for the Sketch challenge at Soul Scrappers which looks like 

I have rotated the sketch once clockwise to suit my photos..

Lots of layers.. I have used a range from 49&Market for this layout.. 

Captured moments.

I enjoyed creating this page, a bit of paint spolged on the background, some rub-ons and layered up embellishments.. This is my daughter with her dog, that grew quickly from a puppy!!

Well thanks for coming on by, I hope your month has been pleasant.. Our days are cooling down now Autumn is truly making her presence felt!! Time to get the trackie daks out!!! so... until next time... do take care...
