Mystical Scrapbooks cyber crop - my challenge

Last night kicked off a cyber crop at Mystical Scrapbooks. The theme is fantastic - travel/holiday. Everyone has photos from these events they need to scrap. I have many.

For my challenge I have created a double page spread. It is a mirror image one, meaning that the left side mirrors the right. I have 3 photos on each page and have cute two pieces of patterned paper in half to create cohesion across the pages. I've added some complementary strips across the middle to join them together.

This method is a nice and easy way to match your pages up for the one subject on two pages. My challenge for you is easy. Simply create a double page spread or scrap lift the left side or the right side page. I look forward to seeing what you come up with. Load your work into the Mystical gallery before the week ends and you may win a prize. Good luck.

Music scrapbook page for Archi-scraps

This is the building for us to take inspiration from this month. Pretty terrific hey? Got to love the Opera House in Sydney. 

.

Here is my layout, Ensemble.
I have used a piece of Sassafras Lass Anthem paper as it has the angles shooting in all directions like the Opera House. It also has music notes and piano keys on it. Perfect. I've added some music washi tape as well.

The photo shows my son playing viola in his Ensemble in a competition at his future School, Perth Modern in their beautiful auditorium.

I hope you can play along this month. There is a terrific prize on offer. Go over to Archi-scraps and check it out.

Cyber Crop at Mystical - Travel/Holiday theme

Come and join in at Mystical Scrapbooks on Friday, 3 January for a weekend of fun. You will have a week to get your entries in to the challenges.

Card for Day 360

Here is a card for 365 Cards challenge for Day 360. It's an anything goes theme but I have yet to show this Christmas card. It's a little bit different, usual colours though.

Today I have taken down all my Christmas decorations and tree. I did miss one though. I bought a Santa this year that has a parachute and I hung him from the chandelier in the lounge room. I spotted him this afternoon. Pity as I have packed everything up. Does anyone else ever do that? Miss one decoration?

Thanks for looking.

Have yourself a merry little Christmas

I would like to wish all of my followers a very Merry Christmas and a wonderful, happy New Year.  Here is a little Christmas cheer. My son Mark took this video of me singing with the chorus I'm in, A Cappella West, in the City of Perth last Friday night.

Stay safe and have a great holiday season.  Thanks for following my blog. I hope I have inspired you in some small way.

Reindeer Christmas Card

Here is a Christmas card that's a bit different that I have made using a little folding technique. I'm entering this in the December 2013 Artastic challenge.  I've picked the word reindeer as my inspiration from this pic.

Christmas cone tree

Frustrated by my attempts to purchase a Christmas tree topper that would stay on the tree I have been inspired by Leslie's post over at Counterfeit Kits (see it here) to make my own.

Here is a pic of it outside so you can see that it does sparkle a little.

Here is a pic of it on the tree. As you can see it fits perfectly and does not try to fall off like the metal one I bought did.

I'm entering this in Liz's challenge THC69 at Soul Scrappers which is to create something Christmassy that is off the page.
