Well well well!! Hasn't this month just flown by? And here I am just hours away from the end of the month rushing to put up my post for the Challenges I have created this month.. Perhaps others are feeling as I do that July just seemed to be shorter than usual, haha.. yes I know that it still has the same amount of hours as last year, but where did it go??? I shall stop dilly dallying and get my pages posted!!!
I have managed to create 4 layouts this month, and yes one of them I finished just a few hours ago, so hopefully the glue is dry!!
The first layout is for the challenge over at Black Magic Sketches on Facebook and it looks like..
To use black cardstock as base and at least 2 of the colors and be inspired by the sketch.. I rotated the sketch once clockwise to suit my photo..
a closer view.
I have used printables that I have fussy cut out.. I am very thankful to the clever and generous people who design the printables and freely give them for us to use on our creations.
Timeless memories
I have used a photo of my Grandie and my Mum taken on mothers day this year.. very special photo.
The next layout is for the challenge over at Soul Scrappers on Facebook and it is for the One Word challenge and we are to use either S, A or H words as our title for our layout.. I have gone with S for Sisters for my layout..
A closer view.
I don't remember the name of the papers I have used but they are quite old. and again, the printables are fussy cut..
Sisters
Quite a busy page, I did smear some gesso over the page to try and calm it down a bit!!
The next layout is for the challenge over at Whats in the Bickie Tin on facebook and it is a stash buster one...
And I have used all of those things on my page..and more I guess!!
a closer view.
A view of one of the clusters and a tag, again, I have used printables fussy cut..
Lovely day
You can see the 4 different papers, the 3 clusters the 2 tags and 1 title..
and the last challenge I have created is for the Hut Creative on Facebook and this month we have been asked to create a Heritage layout. Well I found a beautiful old photo of my Grandmother and my Mother taken around 1940 and used that as my inspiration for my Heritage layout..
a closer view.
When I think of Heritage, I think of aged looking papers, doileys and stamping on the back ground to add to the grungey look..
Portraits of the past
Just such a precious old photo, what a great car too.. so glad to scrap this photo.
Well I have just one more layout to share and it was created for the The Scrapbookers Journal an online magazine full of inspiration and fantastic creations. My layout was featured in the Animal Section on page 11 and it is of my Dad and his beloved pigs. Dad grew pigs and sold them, he cared for them and raised them on separated milk and grain that the pigs loved and they grew fat on it.. When Dad took his pigs to the pig sale they were snatched up quickly.. I remember my childhood like it was yesterday and certainly feel very blessed for the simple upbringing that I had..
A closer view
And yes printables again!!
Farm life
Such precious photos...My Dad was a hardworking farmer and life was often quite hard.. I miss the farm, and I miss my Dad... so photos are very special now..
Well if you have managed to get to the end of this long post, then well done! I hope you look out for next months challenges which come out tomorrow!!!I hope I am a bit more organised next month!! But probably not!!! hehe!
Thanks for coming on by, do take care, and until next time..
P.S. The last couple of months I have been sharing talented creators of Printables and this month I am sharing The Gentle Palette on Facebook who shares a lot of freebies..
