New Home for Scrap The Boys

We brought home a kitten on 18 December 2013. Her name is Georgia and we adopted her from the Cat Haven. She is for all of us but it is the first pet Mark has ever had. That first day she just didn't stop purring. We had to keep her in the Laundry for a while til she acclimatised. We all took turns staying with her and keeping her company.

I've entered this layout in January's Scrap the boys challenge which is to make a layout about something new.

Thanks for looking.

Mixed media layout for sketch challenge

I tried my hand at a mixed media layout for SC73 at Soul Scrappers.
You had to use this sketch with the added criteria of bling, paint and a 5x7 photo. Challenge was set by Debi Clarke.



I made a School layout based on my son receiving a Science Award at his Primary School graduation ceremony.

The bling is two small metal dots and the sequins on the chipboard letters. For the paint I used texture paste and then applied 3 different coloured paints. I used a disposable glove and painted with my fingers. Then I added the sequins and some mists. I've also written the elements from the periodic table on to the letters to tie in the science aspect of the theme.

Thanks Debi. Another page done in Mark's School album.

Birthday Boy for Week 36 at PCC

This week's cover at Papercrafter's Corner's magazine Monday challenge made me think of a slip-in album layout straight away.
The other inspiration I had was to use family as the topic along with a cake and a photo of a happy young child. I've also used the colours, except for pink and purple.

Card for ARTastic

I have created a card for January's ARTastic challenge. The inspiration art is this wall art by Vexta, plus use triangles or diamonds.



I have cut out lots of tiny diamonds from different patterned papers using a stencil, inked them and created a star shape from them. I placed a resin flower in the centre, drawn freehand in metallic pen around it and mounted it on patterned paper and cardstock.
