Sketchabilities #122 & Off the Rails

For this layout I have used Karan Gerber's beautiful sketch at Sketchabilities and the colours from the September mood board at Off the Rails.

  

I love the cluster of hearts in the sketch!! And the gold in the colour palette!!

We have finally had a glorious Spring day here after some very 'unspring like' weather, so it has been wonderful to get out and and go for a walk!! Long may it last!!

Cheers,

Sue :)

"Cheese!!" LO for Stuck, FD, SGC

There is a great multi-photo sketch up at Stuck?! Sketches. I love multi photo layouts at the moment because I take so many photos of my gorgeous grandies, that it is often hard choosing one photo!


I have also combined this layout with the Frosted Designs Friday challenge - to use chevrons!
And our Southern Girls Challenge - to use texture (texture paste hearts)

We are loving this new put on smile! We will say "Smile, Madison" and maybe get a faint lip curl, but if you say "MADISON! CHEESE!", we suddenly get this very cute, cheeky smile!

I am off to Sydney for a week to see my son and daughter-in-law and will miss my cuties! But I will love shopping for them!!

Cheers,

Sue :)

LO for Berry71Bleu & Scrap and Play #7

Love the sketch challenge at Berry71Bleu!!
I have combined it with the mood board, #7, at Scrap and Play. I was inspired to use the colours in the first photo (blues) and by the patterns of a ferris wheel (bottom left photo). We are very cold, at the moment, in this part of the world, so a summer theme wasn't really going to work!

  

My LO:

Our lovely bit of winter sun this morning has gone and we are having a cold shower of rain! This has been typical of the last few days. Sun, black clouds, rain, sun, black clouds rain - several times a day! We are so looking forward to Spring!

Cheers,

Sue :)

GD at Paper Secrets

The August 15th SKETCH and WORD is up at Paper Secrets! I am thrilled to be their Guest Designer this month! I love their challenges!
The Sketch:

The word: CAMP
My layout:

Items starting with the letters in CAMP:

C – Clouds, cotton, (word) cuteness; A – Arrows, alphabet stickers; M – Martha Stewart punch; P -  patterned paper, Prima tag, pen, photos  

Miss M wont go on any bike without her 'hat'. She got the helmet to go tandem riding with Dad on his bicycle and loves it! Mum got this trike from the Toy Library, so she wanted her 'hat' on! We even had a woman stop us at the park to tell us we didn't really need a helmet for a trike. She thought we were over protective!! So funny!!

Have a great weekend,
Sue :)

Our Sunshine for Kreative Koncepts and D-Lish Scraps

An awesome sketch up at Kreative Koncepts this month and a gorgeous Cotton Candy Inspiration board at D-Lish Scraps!!
  

I love these pics of little Miss M not long after waking up.

She really does provide joy and sunshine to our lives!!

Challenges at Stuck Aug 1st and Let's Capture our Memories

This month Stuck! Sketches are partnering with Let's Capture Our Memories combining a gorgeous colour pallet and sketch.
I love two in one challenges!
         

Poor Milly is constantly trying to find new places that she can hide or be out of reach, but Blakey is getting taller and quicker, now that he is walking!

I had an awesome day scrapping with the Scotties girls yesterday! I love our monthly get-togethers! Thanks girls!

Cheers,

Sue :)

GD for Paper Secrets!

I am so excited to be Guest Designer at Paper Secrets this month!!! I love their sketch and word challenge combo.
 Check out their August 1st sketch here and the word is SWIM


You need include items, colors, brands, etc. beginning with each of the letter of the word !

So on my layout I have: S- sequins, stitching; W- wooden embellishments; I- Inking; M- mask

 Blakey was immersed in trying to catch the bubbles from a friend's bubble machine. His Mum got these cute pics, of the tongue action! Such a “mini me” of his father, who still uses the tongue action when he is concentrating on a difficult task!

Have a great weekend!

Sue :)
