Sisters -SOS and CSI 165

 I loved the sketch at Scrap Our Stash (May 15th) and the colour scheme of the latest challenge at CSI 165!

The Scrap our Stash challenge was a sketch and handmade flowers, so I swapped the circles for flowers!

For the CSI 165 challenge:
Evidence: dots, stripes, tags
Testimony: list journaling, journal onto tag

Winter is definitely here in New Zealand this weekend, so NZ and Aus, keep warm and everyone else, enjoy your spring!!
Cheers,
Sue :)

Crazy Fun - Stuck!? and Picture This

My layout using another awesome sketch by Laura Whitaker at Stuck!? Sketches!!

I am also putting this into the challenge at Picture This! Challenge: To use 2 photos + dots + layers + stars. (The stars and dots are on the background papers, partly hidden!)

It is raining and cold here today and I have just lit our first fire! Perfect scrappy day!! :)

Cheers, Sue :)

LO for Sketchabilities, CSI CC-5, Archi-scraps

This month CSI have a special collaboration challenge with Archi-scraps, so I have used the current Sketchabilities sketch to solve the case, CC-5. The colours in this challenge are gorgeous!! My son and daughter-in-law sent me some beautiful photos of their holiday in Vietnam. This one was taken with the sunset on the beach and I thought the colours were perfect for this challenge!

Evidence: scallops (doily), hearts

Testimony: (Written on tag to left of photo) A perfect evening in this fairytale place! Danang Sun Peninsula Resort

Cheers, Sue :)

Happy - Sketches In Thyme , Papervine

This digger and truck that Blake's uncle and aunt gave him for Christmas have been his No1 favourite toys ever since! And there is plenty of metal and dirt, outside their new house, to play in!

I have used the May Wk1 sketch at Sketches in Thyme (rotated) and the yummy soft green, grey and black colour scheme from the PaperVine colour challenge.

Cheers,
Sue :)

Have a great day!

Let's Get Sketchy Wk1 and May ARTastic

New month, new challenges!! I loved this week's sketch by Brenshevia at Let's Get Sketchy! Below is my DT layout. There is a new challenge each week and they all run until the end of the current month.

I also love the challenges at ARTastic and as soon as I saw the May painting, I knew I had to use a layout of my grandson because of the colour of his hair and his blue eyes. The extra criteria this month, is to use stars!

I hope you are inspired to enter both of these great challenges!

Cheers,
Sue :)
