My Dt reveals

What's Old is New Kits now has a challenge blog...sketches ...you don't have to use the kits to enter...here is my take on this months sketch...enter great kits to be won... What's Old is New Kits I got to play with the Moulin Rouge Kit this month...yummy ...here are my layouts for the reveal...as usual the kit is already gone. But if you like them consider subscribing...the kits are alway good and that way you secure yours (with the option of not taking it if you don't like it) Scrap the girls this month is all about the shoes...you had to draw inspiration from a picture of shoes...pretty ones at that I might add...I took the buckle and the colour in my layout...you also had to use the word shoe in your title..."shoe in" is my layout for the challenge.

Scrap the Boys this month is all about birthdays as it was Ashtons birthday at the beginning of the month I thought I better catch up last years pages before I print this years photos...lol

Sketches

This month I managed to get a few sketch challenges done ...so I was chuffed.
"things I love" is the sketch challenge on Anna's Craft Cupboard I love this store she not only is sponsoring Scrap the Boys next month but she has a fabulous prize for her sketch challenge that I was lucky enough to win last month...a massive $35 and free postage.
"my girl" is my take on this months Aussie Pub Calls Roadmaps challenge. For this one I have used an anciet pack of rubons to create a square frame around my layout. I am trying to come up with some new and creative ways to use my stash atm.

"classic fun" is my take on the sweeties sketch. This is my first month playing on this sketch blog and I must say loved this sketch. I have machine stitched the border and circle onto the cardstock to create a frame for this layout.

"batkids" is my take on the puzzle sketch for August. These photos are from our recent trip to Movieworld...Ash loved it there I think he would be happy to live with batman!!!

"bubbler" is my take on the Stuck! sketch 2 for August. These photos were also from the Qld trip White Water World.

"Fairy Good" is my take on the Stuck! Sketch #1 for August. This photo is an oldie that i found in my stash of Evie when she was only 1 ...how cute was she.

"boys work" is my take on the Savvy Scraplift for August. These photos are of the boys building the day bed in the courtyard ...check out how chuffed Ash is at being a builder.

Savvy Challenge

Scrapbook Savvy is pretty much where I play ...these are some of this months challenges ...
Drama Queen is my take on this months sketch challenge...it is a bit old school...but liked how it turned out :)

"2008" is my take on Kerryns Ad Challenge...

Drastic Measures is my take on the Random Challenge which ask you to "bling" up you elements on the page ...so I used pearls on my butterflies and the alphas are glittered.

I am yet to do the scraplift so will post that later :)

"too cute when you're asleep" is my take on the White With 1 Challenge for this month. It looks like this will be the last month for white with 1 as I am unable to get sponsors. So pop over do the challenge and make the most of the great prizes we have on offer.

Creative Scrappers layouts

Here is the layout I did for this months Annas Craft Cupboard Sketch.

Here are the last 3 sketches for my DT term at Creative Scrappers...I am really sad to have finished up there as I loved all the inspiration it gave me.

Sketch #61

Sketch #59

Sketch #57

Long time no share :(

I have been the busiest I have ever been this month...so the old blog has been neglected a bit I am afraid...so to avoid this post being a bit on the image heavy side so I am going to post some more tomorrow :)

Here is a little bit of Christmas in July I have been trying to get some of my photos from last Christmas done before this Christmas gets here.

This layout was for last months Annas Craft Cupboard Sketch Challenge.
What's Old is New Kits are selling like hotcakes and even though they are all sold out this month I thought I better share my layouts from the kits.

I was lucky enough to be able to play with 2 this month ...here are my efforts.

Layouts to share

Scrap the Boys have the criteria up and this month it is all about "boys and their toys" there is also a colour requirement of RED, BLACK & a colour of your choice.

"Role Play" is my take on the challenge and is a photo of Ash and some of his many Ben10 toys. These ones where actually given to him by his Aunt (c/o MacDonalds) ...and boy did I get nagged to go to get the rest of the toys ...I am a cruel Mum :(
White with 1 this month is

RED
WHITE
BRACKETS

"Stress head" is my take on the criteria. I love the photo of Eve as it is so her ...she has the most worries for any 3 year old I know. This face is a regular occurence.

Creative Scrappers Sketch #55 has just been posted on the site...and it is a fabulous one. At first I was not to sure about the layout design but love how mine has turned out...

"butterflys are boys too!" is my take on the sketch and I have used photos of Ashton having his face painted in a matching butterfly to his sister on her birthday...with his pearl of wisdom and "boy disclaimer"

Start of the month layouts to share

Whats Old Is New Kit Blog sold their Kits in record time this month...so if you like what you see you will have to get in really fast next month...lol.
"wind swept" is my favourite of the three layouts I actually enven used the fabric on this one. Love the photo of Eve (not a big believer in scraping a photo more than once but I think this one will be printed again...lol)

My layouts where the vintage travel kit and the colours where gorgeous rich muted tones...perfect for the photos we took when we were in Europe on holiday. The bottom layout "UK Trip" has Rob in front of all the iconic landmarks...a must do ...lol

Creative Scrappers Sketch # 53

Here is my take on the Creative Scrappers Sketch # 53 the photo is an old one of my 2 but they are still this close.

Papers are My Minds Eye and Making Memories.

Creative Scrappers Sketch # 51

"Passion for Penguins" is my take on sketch #51. These photos where taken on Eves birthday...they are first thing on the morning just after she opened her presents. She has a real thing for Penguins at the moment...no sure how long the fad will last so thought I better document it while I remember...lol
