Ooh Lala - Stuck?! and Berry71Bleu

Em and I took little Miss C with us on a trip to Spotlight and Freedom Furniture. We got her out of the car and she insisted on wearing her sister's handbag (seeing that she was safely away at Kindy and wouldn't know!). We couldn't stop laughing at her cute little strut as she took off for the shops!

I have used the April 1st sketch at Stuck?! Sketches and inspiration from the gorgeous moodboard at Berry71Bleu.

The beautiful Berry71Bleu moodboard: I was inspired by the bling on the chandelier, the waisted dress and the soft pinks and golds. I cannot remember the last time I used bling!! So good to use some older stash!!

April ARTastic

The amazing painting this month at ARTastic is by Josh Miels.
The criteria is: Typography (using alphas, stencils, patterned papers)

For my layout, I was inspired by the grungy feel of the painting, the dark browns and the white lettering in the background. I used a TH stencil for the 'xoxoxo', and lots of patterned papers and embellishments with writing on.



We Will Remember by Josh Miels: It is a tribute to ANZAC, (Australia New Zealand Army Corps) called 'We Will Remember'.

Head on over here to check out the challenge and inspiring DT works.

Cheers,

Enjoy - Scrap the Girls

My layout for this month's sketch challenge at Scrap the Girls:



And Kristine Davidson's sketch: (which I have to confess, that I found a little challenging at first!)

By the middle of this year, I will have 4 granddaughters and only one grandson, so I am thinking I will have so many photos and loads of subject choices for STG challenges! Love them!!

Cheers,

Hello Sunshine - SOS, This or That

I did it - SOS

For someone who wouldn't even put her bare feet on the grass a year ago, Madi has come a long way! She has a real competitive streak and when she saw a group of kids climbing this huge pohutakawa tree, she said "I am going to do it!" We all said that she was too small and it probably wasn't a good idea, but we let her try, thinking she would go a little way and then ask to get down. But, no, she was so focused and determined and reached the hollow, about 10 feet up. She yelled out "I did it! I am so happy!" We all told her that we were so proud of her!!



I have used the Scrap Our Stash sketch + 3 challenge:
List 1 - Dark Pink
List 2 - Ebony
List 3 - Flair

Have a great day!

Sparkle - -D-Lish Scraps

I love the mood board at D-Lish Scraps this month! Perfect for this pic of Madi on her birthday. She had been waiting for weeks to be sung, "Happy Birthday, Dear Madi"! Every grandparent, aunt , uncle or friend who rang or called in, had to sing it to her! So cute!

Have a great day,

Sue :)
