White with 1 August Challenge

White with 1 August Challenge

The August White with 1 challenge is to scrap with white and the colour liquorice.

I had this photo of my son & daughter in-law with their dog which I thought would go well with this colour challenge.

Cards

It's been ages since I put anything on here.
A couple of cards I've made recently.

Bill

My late father in-law Bill.
I've used My Grandfather Bill Mini Kit from Tattered Inspirations  etsy store on this layout.
When I saw it in the shop many months ago I knew I had to get it and use it for one of Bills photos.

Cards

Two cards I made using some of the Sweet Millicent Card Kit from Tattered Inspirations  etsy store and another card I made using one of Carol's beautiful polymer clay rose hat pins for my daughter in-laws mum's birthday which is now in the mail on it's way to Finland.

Lest We Forget

I did this page last month using the KAISERCRAFT Remember Me Collection.
 I'll be teaching this in a class at my local scrap shop this month. 

 The photo is my dad.  

For You Card

Card made for my class at my local scrap shop "Creative Dreams"

Cards

These are some cards I made a few months ago using the French Rose Garden Card Kit from Tattered Inspirations here.

Ladies Diary Cards

I'm a Guest Designer on Tattered Inspirations, Carol sent me this gorgeous  "A Ladies Diary Card Kit"  to work with so I had lots of fun using it.  Have a look at Tattered Inspirations Etsy Shop  here there are lots of gorgeous card and scrapbookiing kits, Vintage Posies and beautiful Handmade Vintage Flowers.

 Carol has also been very busy making beautiful polymer roses, hat pins,  birds and birdhouses which are now in her shop.  There are so many gorgeous items and great prices too, so pop in and have a look.

Here are the cards I made using the kit and I used leftover items to cover the diary

 

My Scrap Room Clock

This is a old Kaisercraft clock that I recovered using Graphic 45 Bird Song papers for a quote challenge.
I've put a quote in it instead of a photo.

" Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken winged - bird that cannot fly."

Langston Hughes

Wedding Card

This is a card I made for my son Jason and his lovely wife Ally for their wedding. I've used red on it because red is lucky in Ally's culture. They loved it.

Peter Rabbit Baby Cards

These are 2 cards I made using The Tale of Peter Rabbit Card Kit from Tattered Inspirations Etsy shop

I love the card kits they have so many gorgeous new and vintage  bits and pieces in them.

 

Tattered Inspirations

I’m very happy and excited to say I’ve been chosen to be on the Guest Designer Team of  Tattered Inspirations. I love using all the vintage embellishments from Tattered Inspirations  etsy store.

I also love getting my orders from Carol as when they arrive it’s like getting a present in the mail, Carol always has them wrapped up as a lovely gift with beautiful little extras.

I’m looking forward to working with Carols amazing Vintage Scrapbooking Kits and Card Making Kits.

Carol has launched some lovely new kits at Tattered Inspirations,

Here are 3 cards, a little gift card and 2 tags I made using the lovely new Jack Card Kit.

"The world is filled with undiscovered wonders. Come, little one, let's find them out together."  Author.. Emilie Ahern

My handmade items are a button & clouds from Purple Pumpkin, bottle top from Marg Oliver and some crochet doilies

The photos are of my darling little grandson Xander with his dad (my youngest son Andrew) getting to know the baby farm animals.

Quiet please Artist at work.

This is one I did early last month of my darling grandson Topias drawing on his easel that grandpa built him.
  I haven't done any pages for weeks, I need to get back into doing some.

Purple Pumpkin June Sketch

I did this one using June's Purple Pumpkin sketch...here

I love Purple Pumpkin embellishments, on this LO I've used a PP doily under a PP Lollypop Flower, a little Spotty Button and I've used one of their  Spotty Button Tops although I did swap the button top around to suit my page colours.

The photo was taken while on holidays in Qld. staying with my lovely niece and her family.

My journaling is a quote: Family like branches on a tree, we grow in different directions yet our roots remain as one. Each of our lives will always be a special part of the other.

A days catch.

I love this photo of my hubby. He was out on a fishing trip with DS1 & future DIL, they caught a few nice meals of fish.
