Mystical Scrapbooks ~ Colour Your World cybercrop
Theresa's challenge ~ neutrals. I used kraft cardstock and a mix of papers from Kaisercraft Anthology collection. May have gone overboard with the enamel dots, but I was determined to use up the last of the D'lish Scraps packet.

Vintage inspired

This is a page for my mum's memory album. Journalling is from recorded conversations with her while going through a box of old photos.



Inspired by, and sharing at Scrapping Clearly for Easter Crop Challenge #1 ~ "Vintage inspired" using gold, birdcage, and foliage. I'm not a big fan of birdcages, but I dug though my patterned papers to find this one from Prima Love Clippings collection.

Theresa's challenge is "create a page using brown, green and blue colours with at least one of these used through a stencil". I used Tim Holtz Speckled Egg distress oxide through Stencil Girl's Inky Circles stencil.

I used tissue paper for a slightly crumpled texture, with a mix of rhinestones and pearls (rough and smooth).

Lightning Ridge

Working through some old packets of photos, you know, the ones that there's only one or two remaining pictures from an event or trip... I kept this one super simple ~



Sharing at Soul Scrappers for the April Tic Tac Toe ~

SPLIT PHOTO - I love this technique!
GOLD COLOUR - Upcycled wrapping paper
WASHI TAPE - The kraft washi tape isn't so sticky anymore so I've stitched it in place.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

Be happy in the moment

Materials

Kaisercraft Stargazer - Galaxy  cut-apart
Kaisercraft Stargazer - Astronomy solid paper
Kaisercraft Stargazer - Paper Pad patterned paper
Cosmo Cricket Garden Variety - Sunshine patterned paper
Vicki Boutin Storyteller - Daisies patterned paper
Bazzill Basics Simply Squares - Monochromatic Yellow - Amber brads

Inspired by, and sharing at:

* Scrappy Friends ~ Rochelle's sketch
I turned the sketch.

* Scrappy Friends ~ Stacy's Tic Tac Toe
I used the diagonal line - banner piece, circle, brads.  The brads from my stash are totally old-school but I think they work with this design.  I'm not sure if I hit the mark with the 'banner piece' - I made my own banner pieces from scraps and was (sort of) guided by the sketch.

* Off the Rails ~ April mood board
I loved the colours and flowers. I don't have any sunflowers so I used daisies instead.
