Thank Teacher card

Day 187 at 365 Cards is smart. I've made a card for my son's Teacher to give him at the end of the year using Nikki Sivils paper.

Sport card

The challenge at 365 Cards for Day 189 is Sporty. Yay, I think. I've made this card for my son Mark to give to him on his Football trophy day. He's had another great year, trying his best and succeeding. His team colours are red, white and blue.

Spring colours layout for BW2

Spring may be upon us now that it's September, but it feels just like winter with the stormy, rainy weather. I have the heater on! I've ducked out to take a shot in between showers.

I've added some misted paper and some hand made elements. Do you like my little trees? They are punched hearts that have been misted and layered.

I've scrapped lots of pics from this day as there were lots of cute ones. Mark was getting quite cranky that no birds would "land" on him and when one finally did he was very pleased.

I love green and purple as a colour combo so I chose to do the challenge at Black with 2 this month.  Here's the criteria and picture inspiration.

Dominant black background with 

Purple 

& 

Mint green ...plus 5% white if desired 

Here is your inspiration pic for the colour guide

Here is an article I am part of at online zine Scrapbooking.com. It is all about Grandparents. I have scrapped a layout featuring my boys and their Grandpa, Noel Tiernan, who is my husband's Father. Wishing Noel all the best, especially for yesterday which was Father's Day here in Australia.

Halloween layout - updated

This is my layout for From Screen 2 Scrap this month. These are some of the (almost) finished decorating I did of my front lobby for Halloween. Coming back from the US just before Halloween made me very enthusiastic to organise something for Halloween. I invited lots of Mark's year 7 class to come over and then escorted them trick or treating, then ended up back at our house. I left my 15 year old son at home to cater to the trick or treaters coming over to us. There weren't many lollies left in the basket when we all returned. It was great fun.

Here is the movie poster for this month:



Shazza picked it. She loves a good horror flick. The criteria is:

1pt = Black Base c/s
2pts = A house somewhere on your page
3pts = Title must have one word in RED letters

I hope you choose to have a go at this. It doesn't have to be about Halloween. You can spin it how you like. I'm sure the DT layouts will be up shortly. If you do choose to have a go and are new to the blog challenge, please tell Shazza I sent you. Thanks.

UPDATE:  There are 7 prizes to be won this month. 3 of them are to go to newbies, people that have not joined in before. It's easy to win, the first newbie to uplink their layout gets the first prize, and so on. What are you waiting for?

Here's a pic of my RAK for this month. I've put together a girly kit.
