June Challenges - Soul Scrappers, What's in the Bickie Tin and Black Magic Sketches

 Good afternon, on this cool winters saturday. I hope you are keeping warm where ever you are from! We sure know it is winter here, had a few frosts, the lawn is brown and the mornings and evenings are crisp!

I have managed to create 3 layouts for 3 different Challenges so far this month.. 

The first layout is for Soul Scrappers on Facebook and it is for the One Word challenge and the challenge this month is to use either a F, Y or J word for the title of your layout.. I went with a Y for Yummy as I had a cute photo of my grandie when she was younger eating spaghetti! She loved it smothered in garlic butter!! With her hands of course!!

A closer view..

Yummy

Fussy cut flowers layered and I had the green doiley so it matched the photo so I used that too.. such a fun word to use this month!!

The next challenge is for Whats in the Bickie Tin on Facebook  and it is to be inspired by something on the moodboard.. 

Well the first thing I noticed was the gears and cogs with the rusty colors and so I am sure you will see the inspiration in my layout..

a closer view.

I have had these papers for such a long time, and I cut cogs out from dies to add to my layout..

Boys rule.

I thought my Grandson standing in front of the big wheel matched the whole inspiration of my layout as well.. 

And the 3rd layout is for a new challenge that has started on Facebook called Black Magic Sketches  and the challenge is to be inspired by the sketch and to use at least 2 of the colors and the base must be black cardstock. The challenge looks like..

I have used the blue and the butter yellow..

Just a little bit of stencilling around the circle.. I hope you can pop over and check out this new challenge and give it a go too.

Thanks for coming by, I hope life is going ok for you.. busy busy busy here! But I need to make time to create and unwind! Until next time.. do take care..

Soul Scrappers Challenges - Mystery and Screen to Scrap

 Good day to you on this last monday of February.. Where have the days gone???  Speaking of days, the sun is taking a few moments to rise and seems to be setting a little bit earlier each day.. a sign of Autumn and I hope a bit cooler weather..

I have in this cluster, a Charms heart, two bling hearts and fussy cut flowers..

I have placed some cute little hearts puffy stickers around my page too.

Happy moments

I also have some hearts stenciled with texture paste, so lots of hearts on this page!! And my grandies in the photo!!!

The second page I would like to share is for the FROM SCREEN TO SCRAP which is to use pink and green colors, add something that can fly and have two photos..

a couple of closer views.

The papers had a sweet little bird so I fussy cut it out.

Fussy cutting, lace and a green and pink bow!

Happy day

I have used two favourite shapes on my page, a bracket shape and a circle. Also used lace, as I did a tidy up of my lace and thought... humm I better use some of this up!! hehe!! Again used a photo of my Grandie who is growing up so quickly!

The second layout is for the Tic Tac Toe challenge which is to use one row in any direction..
