Happy Days

I've been scrapping some old packs of photos from 1996. This one is from a NSW road trip with my boyfriend (now husband). I wasn't very diligent in documenting back then, but I think this was taken at or near Kiama.

I'm sharing this page at:

* Scrap Challenge YOUrself ~ Use a grid pattern

(Yes, that's a much younger ME in the photo!)

* Kraft + ~ November Challenge #1
I love the fresh colour combo.

Urban Graffiti?

Inspired by, and sharing at:

So... neon isn't really my style, but I thought the colour palette would work well for some alternative rock concert pics.

2) Border or frame the page {Celebrate satin ribbon}
3) Use thread/twine {Baker's twine}

White... with YELLOW

Here is my design team project for the November White with 1 challenge.

* Colour ~ Use YELLOW on a WHITE cardstock background to create your layout.
* Mood board ~ Share which element/s inspired you {butterflies and white space}
* Must include ~ Butterflies {These diecuts were part of a D-lish Scraps kit from many years ago}

Also sharing my page at Simon Says Wednesday for the Anything Goes theme.

Crazy

Halloween is not really my thing. I find it very weird how Australian retailers have embraced (dare I say, exploited) American-style Halloween in recent years - the merchandise is everywhere and unavoidable. However, it does make for a great LO theme!!

And... I finally found a way to use the large skull piece from an old pack of Tim Holtz grungeboard. Stashbusting for the win!  A bit of white acrylic paint and silver glitter glue, and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

I'm sharing this page at:

* Park Hopping Happy Place ~ October challenge
I took my inspiration from the Halloween theme.

* Simon Says Monday ~ Spooky

* Off the Rails ~ Boo, Fun Night

09/11/2024 Edit to add ~ My layout was selected as random winner at Off the Rails!

White with 1 - LETTERS & NUMBERS

We're cyber-cropping at White with 1 this weekend, with a fun LETTERS & NUMBERS theme.

LETTERS #1 ~ Create a new page with your title in BIG lettering.

* WHITE with blue {Paige Evans Wonders - #11 patterned paper}
* BIG TITLE - I used some very old chipboard alphabets {Delish Designs Letter Bikkies Uppercase +  Wishmade chipboard} painted with pigment ink {Aladine/Seth Apter IZink Stratosphere}

[][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][][]

LETTERS #2 ~ Create a layout where the title is a long quote or the start of your journalling.

* WHITE with blue - I used pigment inks for my background {Aladine/Seth Apter IZink Thundercloud and Stratosphere} 
* QUOTE - Description of Lightning Ridge from Lonely Planet guide book, which I thought was very accurate!
* TITLE - Letters made using my Cuttlebug and two sets of cutting dies {Technique Tuesday + an unbranded set}
