June Challenges!

 Well Hello there! Can you believe that June is coming quickly to a close, and July is just a couple of sleeps away!!?? I am not even gunna say it, but how did June go by so fast? Is anyone else feelin it?? Maybe I am just getting older, and slowing down?? Perhaps!! anyhooo... I shall stop waffling and get onto putting up my layouts for the challenges I have created this month! I have surprised myself and completed 5 layouts!! Go me!! hehe!! sooo here we go!!!

The first layout is for a challenge I have not entered before and it is for The Hut Creative on Facebook and this month it is a Scraplift challenge.. Well being one who loves having some of the thinking done for me as to how to do a layout, I thought Yep I will give this one a go!! There were 3 layouts to choose from, and this is the layout I chose to scraplift by Heather Bensley.. 

I loved the background of this layout, lots of stamping some stars and a male themed page, always need some inspiration to get one of them completed!! So here is my take..

a close view..

I am not sure how many stamps I used on the back ground, I think at least 5! Such fun.. A bit of plasterers tape for texture and a few strips of washi!!

Handsome boy

I added a banner along the bottom, just for my touch to the page! Such a fun way to create a page! This is my cheeky grandson!! Thankyou The Hut Creative for a great challenge.. I look forward to seeing what next months will be!!

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

To be inspired by the sketch, on a base of black cardstock and to use at least 2 of the colors.. I followed the sketch, but instead of using the banners side by side, I layered them to suit my page better..

Welcome little man..

This is my newest grandson, and the butterfly is for privacy but take it from me, he is very very cute!! and he is brand new in this photo!! I have used a mix of papers for this layout, his first layout!! I am looking forward to creating pages for his album too!!

The next layout is for a challenge over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook and it is for the One Word challenge..

And we are to use J, K or Y as the title for our page.. I have gone with K for Kiss and found this sweet photo on my Grandie and her Dad!!

Fussy cut roses layered up with foam tape.  I was in the mood for fussy cutting ... who am I kidding? I am always in the mood for fussy cutting!! hehe!

Such a sweet photo!!

The next layout is also for Soul Scrappers on Facebook and this one is for the Mystery Challenge and it is a Scraplift! The page we were to scrap lift is this one...

a very cool page..

I decided to rotate it once clock wise and use it like this..

This also was a lot of fun to create.. I started with some water colors painted in 3 columns and then added the strips and then the photo and some fussy cut flowers.. The flowers and tickets are from Printables on facebook, I really appreciate the very generous and talented creatives who share the printables freely for others to use..

The flowers, tickets and butterflies are printables.

Anddd the last layout is for the challenge over at What"s in the Bickie Tin on Facebook and it is a Tic Tac Toe which looks like..

I chose the first row down, stencil, flowers and leaves..

I have used 49&Market papers and embellishments for this layout.. the flowers are layered up with foam dots for dimension.

There is stencilling on the back ground, leaves and flowers.. Another great challenge, I enjoyed creating this layout too!

Well if you have made it to the end of this post, well done, and well done to me for getting 5 pages done!! Probably the 2 scraplifts helped!!!!

I do hope things are well with you, and as always, thank you for coming by, and do take care...

P.S. Each week I will share another Printables Page with you that I find very useful..  This week it is   Lu Lu Creations on Facebook , another talented and generous creative who I have used for printables for card making and scrapbooking.. And I am being wooed by Junk Journaling also.. sigh.. do I really need another hobby!!! hehe!! Just been watching on Youtube the many tutorials on making a junk journal.. another way to use some of my stash I guess!! 

until next time....
