Soul Scrapper Challenges and Whats in the Bickie Tin

 Hello there, How is your day goin? The month of May is galloping away and I am just coming by to pop up 3 layouts I have created for this months challenges.. I have 2 for Soul Scrappers on Facebook  and 1 for Whats in the Bickie Tin  .

The first layout is for the Sketch for Soul Scrappers which looks like..


What a great sketch! I found 2 photos to fit the sketch and away I went and created a fun page of my Grandson..  There arent any close ups as the layout is simple as I have followed the sketch pretty closely!

Wild & Free


These papers are really old and if you have been scrapping for a while you just might have them in your stash too.. Dont let the angelic photos fool you, my grandson is a cyclone!! hehe! full of energy and only one speed.. Flat out!!!

The next layout is for the One Word challenge for Soul Scrappers and we were to pick from M, R or C..  I have used the letter R for my One Word title!! I have used a bit of a slang word, but seeing I cut it out from the papers I figured it is a word!! 

Rawr (as in Roar!!!)





I have used Kaisercraft papers for this page and the dinosaurs are printables I got off the internet.. I got a bit stuck with this layout, but in the end I am happy enough with how this turned out!

The last layout is for the challenge over at Whats in the Bickie Tin  and this month it is a Color Palette for us to use for our layout which looks like..



I went with the blue, greens and sandy colors with a hint of the grey from the wood grain..

I have a closer view of a cluster..


The flowers are printables I got off the internet..

So dear to me

This is one of my Daughters and her Grandma.. my Mum.. precious moments..

Well thats it for me for now.. The end of the month is quickly coming and I hope to do some more creating when I can..
Thanks for dropping by, do take care.. until next time..

The Scrapbookers Journal Submissions

 Good day to you, it is a wet day here today.. A good day for creating and checking out You Tubes!

I have three layouts that were published in the latest issue 15 of The Scrapbookers Journal which I would like to share with you.  Again it is chock full of wonderful inspiration, you can find it HERE!!!

My first layout is in the Black and White section on page 30, (it is incorrectly labeled as Ros Coutts) but it certainly is my layout of my Parents on their wedding day.. 

a closer view



The fussy cut flowers are printables and the papers are really old from my stash.. 


I love this photo, my parents look so young and happy on their Wedding Day over 70 years ago on 1st January 1955..

The next layout is in the Sketch section. My layout is on page 45..

a closer view


Lots of layers, fussy cutting and stamping.

Lovely

I love this cheeky gap smile!

My next layout is found in the Moodboard Section on page 53..  I did create this with the call out for layouts using stencils but it was put in the Moodboard Section.. 

A closer view.


I used a circle stencil and circle texture die on my page, to go with my photo.

Moments


I hope you can see the inspiration for the back ground on my layout.. (the circle theme)

So pop over and check out the the Scrapbookers Journal on Facebook  and I am sure there will be something there to inspire.. 

The next issue is looking for new submissions.. All styles are welcome!
