A little Shadow...

Wherever Andrew goes, Emma has to follow her dad too...a little shadow indeed!

Recently, Emma has taken a liking to fishing....has her own fishing rod and tacklebox with all hers lures. So every opportunity she can, jumps in the car and away she goes with whoever and wherever she can..lol...

So this brings me to the next word for Bird is the Word.

SHADOW

You can include this word in your jounaling or use as a Title.

I have based my layout around the sketch supplied by Jules at Sketches with a Twist.

So you still have time to enter the sketch challenge or you can enter BITW which allows you a bit longer....

Thanks for stopping by and saying hello...xx

Happy Memories....

Last year when Kayley and i went looking for something to wear to her Yr 6 Graduation, i didn't think a bright orange dress would suit....but it was sooo perfect! Her skin tone because of swimming in the summer, set everything off .....

I thought i would give the Scrap the Girls challenge a go...who wouldn't...it sounded so great and i have heaps of girly pics to choose from.

While completing my layout yesterday, the mail man came a knocking at my front door...a box full of goodies from D-lish Scraps...and i couldn't wait to open and it just so happens that the perfect embellishment for my title was inside!

Here are a few close ups of the heart buttons, tiny resin flowers, lace and a tag which is my title:

The heart chipboard piece is by Scrapmatts.

Thanks for stopping by and having a look see...

White with 1

When i stopped by the White with 1 Blog to check out this months challenge....i knew i wanted to give it a go. I have always enjoyed this blog and i so love to use white cardstock!!!!

So the challenge was:

WHITE + POLKA DOTS + TAPE

I thought a cluster of embellishments from D-lish Scraps would set my layout off perfectly.

Oh...and i just wanted to thank my best friend for allowing me to take some family photos and scrap them.....xxx

Boys will be Boys...

While visiting my best friend, i had a photo opportunity with Liam. After 100 photos later, i decided i better stop. But this is my only time i get the boy pics to scrap unless middle daughter acts like a Tom-Boy which sometimes happens or i miss out!

I loved Anna's Craftcupboard July Sketch this month.

And my creation:

I just love the layered lollipop which really pops out on my layout. And Purple Pumpkin buttons are the best! I just had to add the cute little bug button too...

The Scrapmatts chipboard matches boy themed layouts perfectly and ties in with my embellishments from Purple Pumpkin really well...

Are you ready for the Lucky Dp Bags??? You won't want to miss out on these...
So make sure all the kids are alright, housework done and be ready!!!!

Creative Team Call - Spring / Summer 2012 Team


Can you believe that nearly 6 months have gone by since our current Creative Team started? And with that, it’s time to add some new faces to the team.

I'm looking for an undetermined number of creative team members for the Spring / Summer 2012 team. These will be mix of old and new.

Requirements:
Please read these carefully, I will not consider any applications that are missing information / requirements.

1. Create a layout based on the sketch below. Individual interpretation and personal style is strongly encouraged but the sketch must still be easily recognisable.

2. Also include the following in your email:
a. Full name and Country
b. Blog link
c. Do you prefer to scrap in 8.5 x 11 or 12 x 12?
d. A short bio including any current or previous DTs and publications (previous experience isn’t necessary, I am just curious)
e. A list of forums etc. you visit regularly
f. A few short sentences about what you love about Stuck?! and what you can bring to the team.

All entries must be 12 x 12 or 8.5 x 11. I will be selecting a mix of scrappers who create in predominately one size or the other.

Entries are to be emailed to stucksketches@optusnet.com.au. Please put STUCK?! CREATIVE TEAM APPLICATION in the subject line. Please keep your layout size to a maximum 500 x 500px as anything higher will cause my inbox to clog.

All emails must be received by midnight on Sunday August 5th (AEST). The Creative Team will be contacted by Wednesday August 7th and will be announced on during late August.

Expectations:

* Your term will run from the September 2012 to February 2013 sketches. You will receive your first sketches during the month of August 2012 and your final sketches during the month of January 2013.

* CT members are expected to remain EXCLUSIVE to Stuck?! Sketches for their CT period. We are not able to accept applicants who are current CT members for other sketch blogs / sites. You are free to design for other challenge blogs, just not those who only do sketches.
* You must maintain a current active blog. Word of mouth is the only way people will know about Stuck?! and you must be willing to promote Stuck?! on your blog.
* Positions will be held for a six month period and members will be required to reapply at the end of the six months to continue on.
*CT members should use the Stuck?! blinkie and promote Stuck?! wherever and whenever possible. I want each CT member to be proud to be a member and to spread the word around!!!

D-Lish.....

My.......

i just LOVED the sound of the 123 Challenge this month and since PURPLE is my fav colour i knew i had to have a go at the challenge...

WORD: MY

COLOUR: PURPLE

TECHNIQUE: USE CHEVRON!


I had alot of fun creating with my layout...

and i just loved using my washi tape and funky wooden button from D-lishscraps.

Thanks for popping by....xxx

Attitude ....

Yes ...

That is the new range out from Kaiser and i was lucky enough to have been given a kit from Shop and Crop. My first look at it was "What the...???" Having 3 girls with grungy boy pp had me thinking. But i'm fortunate enough to have visited my best friend recently and she has a little boy - so lots of photos were taken. So i have used his precious photos on my layouts.

and a close up of the embellishments in this kit:

There are only a few kits left, so if you wish to purchase one, you better be quick!


Purple Pumpkin


This months sketch at Purple Pumpkin has it all....

I changed mine to suit my photos but i loved the circles and the spotty buttons were great for embellishments.

and a close up:

So...

If you like this sketch design and want to have a go this month, we would love to see you enter here ....

We would love to see a great lot of entries this month and some new faces too....

Weeks are getting away...

School holidays are now happening and i haven't had much of a chance to spend with my 3 girls as yet. But they have been keeping themselves entertained with lego and woodwork projects. They don't really scrap...didn't get their creativity like their mother- think its a bit boring(eldest daughter) like their father!

Work has been really busy- can't complain- thinking of the pay! But i haven't had much of a chance to scrap lately. I'm hoping to get a few challenges completed this month that i found to be interesting and worth having a go....

So i suppose i better fill you in on a few DT challenges and my examples...

STUCK

Sara created a really interesting sketch for us this month....one with circles!!

and my version:

and a close up of some Scrapmatts:

So if you like this sketch and think its very groovy like me, you can pop over here and check out sketch and the rest of the DT samples.
