123 Challenge

This months challenge at http://ourbrightstarsandus.typepad.com/123challenge/ was to use

WORD: MY

COLOUR: PURPLE

TECHNIQUE: USE CHEVRON!

 and here's what I came up with.

 

Products Used:

Heidi Grace Vineyard Paper Collection, embellishment, rub-ons and alphas.  I used Kindyglitz and a Signo white gel pen.

I handmade the chevrons after seeing a tutorial but unfortunately I can't find it again, I usually bookmark but must have forgotten this one.

I got a mention this week for the June challenge over at http://creativescrappers.blogspot.com.au/2012/07/june-winner-few-favorites.html?showComment=1341878718322#c4138625800730772992

I'm a bit excited so I've put this on my sidebar so you can see the layout that got the mention.

Changing Styles

I wanted to share this page with you because I love the Graphic 45 paper and also the photo of 'my girl' when she was only two years old.  I tend to adjust my scrapping style to fit either the challenge, photo or my mood.  I haven't entered this in a challenge but may find one to suit one day.

We have fog here today and its only just starting to lift and its 10.15am already.  I snapped a few photos in the backyard this morning and thought I'd share them with you.

Have a great Thursday and thanks for stopping by.

Once Upon a Sketch July Challenge

This is a photo of my girlfriend of 40years, we met at work and have been friends ever since.  The paper I've used is DCWV Street Lace that another friend of mine bought me back from the UK.  Here are a couple of close-ups. 

 

I made these lovely little satin flowers and the birdcage is from Kaisercraft.  I used Tim Holtz crackle paint before I applied perfect pearls to the cage and the little bird is from ScrapFX and I inked it before applying Tattered Angels Glimmermist.  The little roses are also misted and there's a handmade pin tucked in with the roses.

The black lace and pendant as well as the tiny birds were a gift from the lovely Amy, aren't they gorgeous?  Thanks for visiting...
