This is my entry for Anna's Craft Cupboard's April 2012 sketch challenge.

These are photos I took of pioneer aviation in the flight gallery at the British Science Museum when I visited in October 2010. I love the brilliant blue of the roof and wanted that to be the focus. Therefore I chose colours of brown and blue for my layout.

Here is the image to be inspired by:





Gorgeous. I made a girl card though.  I had these alphas that suited the inspiration but they were girly. So here is my card.

2 Orange cards

Happy Birthday to my Mum and happy Friday the 13th.

I had a friend over last night and she did 6 pages and I made 2 pages and 2 cards.  Here are the cards.

This first one is for Soul Scrappers CC3 card challenge. Have a wild animal on your card. I've used a lion transparency and also some packaging from a Mammoth easter egg I gave my son. It seemed to be a good match.

The second card is for Day 42 - Filler 'er up at Day 365 Cards.  Use an image to fill up most of your card. I chose a Chatterbox die-cut butterfly.

I think orange is a nice, bright colour to use on a card. Don't you?

Thanks for looking.

Double page layout - White House

I created this double pager today for the Daring You To Scrap April challenge. I really liked the sketch as it had multiple photos on it. I actually made it into a double as I had quite a few photos for this topic. This is another set of pages for my 2010 US trip, the Washington leg. Almost finished that section. Hence, the red, white and blue theme.

Here's a pic of the sketch.  Cute, isn't it?

Double page layout - Breaky

ARTastic's challenge for April 2012 is :


Cafe on the Left Bank by Julie Podstolski 
The theme is food.


I have created a double page spread called "Breaky". We found a wonderful little cafe for breakfast in Hong Kong just near our Hotel called the Charlie Brown Cafe. Perfect for kids and priced very well. We went every day.
I have picked up the colours from the painting and the table and chairs as well.
I've done a paper piecing of Charlie Brown and included some memorabilia as well as lots of journalling.

Thanks for looking.

Enchanted by Magic Kingdom

This month's movie poster inspiration at From Screen 2 Scrap was a great chance for my to scrap a Disney layout. Check out the poster and criteria at www.screen2scrap.blogspot.com.

I had this terrific Kaisercraft background paper ready to go. Paul took this terrific shot of my little Princes and I in front of the fairytale castle at Magic Kingdom in Orlando, Florida on our 2010 US holiday. It all came together very easily.

Here are two more close up pics.
