OMG I HAVE BLOGGED!!!!!!

-
Just wanted to share a couple of recent layouts I have done, the first is for the current challenge at http://www.orangepaperieandco.blogspot.com.au/2013/11/some-more-layouts-from-dt-to-inspire-you.html where the lovely Jo has a sketch with the added criteria of fussy cutting and using die cuts.

I used this stunning pic of my friend Susan Walters gorgeous little granddaughter Bella for my page. I gave the page to Sue as a gift and didn't expect the reaction I got, she was quite overwhelmed, made the work I put into this so worthwhile.



A bit of a closie showing the gorgeous flower which I did mutilate by pulling apart, oh dear








The second is so precious to me, it is my amazing cousin Sandra Nuttall with her new son Everett, who came into this world a bit too early and fought very hard to stay, thankfully a battle he won, the look of love and wonder on her face as she watches him sleep leaves me speechless.



The page with Sandra and Everett uses all embellishments and papers from Craft Queen http://www.craftqueen.com.au/ and the page with Bella has a bit of a mix of products but again some from Craft Queen.
Thanks for looking more to come soon
Hugs and love till then

March Challenge 7 Dots Studio

While looking for a project to do today while scrapping with my lovely friend Kim Ewins I came across the current  March Challenge at 7 Dots studio. The colours were just perfect for this pic of my gorgeous friend Vicky and I taken in August last year. I had purchased the beautiful Northern lights collection quite a while ago but had put off using it as it was too nice and I didn't want to waste it (who hasn't done that) but I held my breath and starting ripping and distressing. The colours were what drew me to the mood board more so than the theme.  I used some stunning flowers from 49 and Market, and a spray of crystal drops which again matched up with the board. Also added to the page were some yummy Scrapmatts leave sprays which I painted with a green mist. Thanks heaps for looking Cheers Annette

Kraft + February Challenge: Good Reads

-

I loved the challenge at Kraft +  Kraft + Good reads challenge and have just managed to get my page done and uploaded before it ended. I love to read and will read just about any genre as long as the book keeps me interested. The book that I have done this page on is a timeless Australian classic, Seven Little Australians by Ethel Turner. I remember reading this as a young teen and loved all the characters. I still to this day shed a tear when Judy dies. I never had a copy of the book but when I was in Katoomba one day I went to an antique shop that had a book section and found this copy. It is battered and well worn which didn't concern me but the thing I found surprising was on the inside cover there was an awarded to sticker. The book was awarded to Millie Carter, Mole Creek Methodist Church Sunday School, Year 7 1941, that makes this copy 78 years old!!!! It is a beautiful old book that is a great addition to my collection. I have used book pages on the page as well a

Kraft plus November Challenge

So the November Challenge at Kraft Plus is Think Big . While I had a few pics that I thought would work for this challenge I decided on this one of a beautiful and majestic tiger at Mogo Zoo. His eyes locked with mine as I was taking his picture and it was a very surreal moment, I felt as though he could see into my soul. I used a mix of pp for this page some old Kaiser basecoat, Prima timeless memories, 2 crafty chippies, hessian, old book paper. Behind the pic is some stencilling using TCW mini butterfly collage and of course a Big B which I embossed with Colour blast charcoal and then rubbed some orange paint over it. Thanks to the Kraft plus team for a great challenge. Cheers to all Annette
