Whiff of Joy Challenges

I am a bit late but Whiff of Joy Challenges have another great challenge this week - Challenge #116 - Karina's sketch.

I have used the darling image Melinda Blowing Kisses, isn't she sweet!



And a close up of Melinda, I coloured her with Copics.



I will be back soon with some of the new WOJ November releases, you will not be disappointed - they are adorable :)

Thank you for popping by and for your lovely comments.

Bright Sunny Yellow!!

Yellow has never been a favourite colour of mine but the new gorgeous MME Lost & Found 2 Sunshine range just might change my mind! This gorgeous paper and this months challenge at Kraft It Up inspired me to create this layout.



Of course some close ups of some of my favourite embellies :)

I found some really chunky glue dots in my stash and I love them, they add so much dimension! So I have popped my little Prima flower on one and the mini Melissa Francis mini tag. The crochet circles are from Lime Tree Creations, the mini rose ribbon is Maya Road, the brads and buttons are MME.



I left the Stuff 2 Scrap chippie raw and popped the hearts up with my chunky glue dots.



The large Prima flower I gave a good spritz of Sunshine glimmermist for a rich and sparkly yellow.



Love the new Prima Alphabet Stickers!!



The Kraft Clock is Maya Road and I am finally using up my Pink Paislee Stash of Artisan Elements :)



Its certainly 'sunny' here, it was still 43 degrees here at 5.45pm!! Thank you for popping in and make sure you come back next week, I will be having an awsome christmas blog candy to give away :)

Hope you all ave an awsome weekend!!!

Today is my turn to post on the Zest Blog and I shared an old technique. Heres a peek, so pop on over here.





I used the Magenta stamp that comes in Lime Tart's October a La Tarte, this kit sold out super fast at the beginning of the month but Philippa has managed to put another one together so be quick and grab it!!!

Sweetest Thing

I finished this LO on the weekend and I didn't know If I was going to make it on time because my phone and internet died on Saturday but they sent a technician out today and I am back! How I missed the cyber world.....lol.

Ok back to my post, Get Picky is celebrating their first birthday and have an awsome blog hop happening so pop on over for some inspiration! This is my take on sketch #13



Lots of 'prettys' and some of my favourites on this LO. My DD of course when she was just a bub, MME Lost & Found 2, chippies, flowers, muslin, film strip, stamping, inking, distressing and stitching! Some close ups.....







Thank you for popping by and for your lovely comments. I have lots of emails to catch up on so I will be visiting soon :)

Mother's Love...........

I loved the inspiration pic this month at Lets Get Shabby Challenge #28 and you had to use paint and flowers to. What do you think?



Here is my layout, this is my DH when he was just a new little bub in his mum's arms. Ssshhh.....I added the year in there, can you see it? I wonder if he would be happy with that.....lol, oh by the way he is quite a few years older then me ;)



I used a mixture of goodies on this LO, the papers are Graphic 45, Kaisercraft and Glitz, I did some spring cleaning of my scrap goodies and its amazing what you find! Odd pieces of paper that can be used for background/base and ones I still liked, I kept aside and this one was perfect for the challenge and went great with the G45 paper! Some Prima alphas - new fave, Pink Paislee Artisan Elements, muslin and Stuff 2 Scrap chippies. The heart chippie is a border I cut, inked with Distress Ink, some white acrylic paint, a good spritz of Glimmermist and my heat gun - love the finish. The Story Block tucked under my photo has been painted with Distress crackle paint - Picket Fence, oh and I painted the edge of my layout all the way around with some crackle paint to.





Some more close ups....





If you love the challenge like me you still have until tomorrow to get it done, so get scrapping! Thank you for popping by and for your lovely comments!!!

This weeks challenge at Whiff of Joy Challenge is #115 - Anything But Square so pop on over and have a look at the gorgeous inspiration from the DT. Here is my card, I inked up the sweet WOJ Little Mermaid from their Princess range and made a round card.
