Here are a few layouts I have done for this months sketches over at Wicked Princesses

I have used sketches 2 and 3 and made them into a double spread for our Egypt Album... Not too many pages to go.. I say that but it seems to be never ending..

Have a great day xx

Mothers Gift

2011-05-19T11:58:00.004+10:00

I thought I would give this little box a try previewed from Anges blog . I needed a little something for my Mother-in-laws birthday and this did just the trick.

Instead of chocolates inside I made a few cards similar to the one shown.

Interior #4

2010-09-28T17:05:00.003+10:00

I struggled with this weeks challenge interior... The interior was an inside garden and then to make it even harder we had to include a window !! Anyway this is what I came up with. I have used an clear overlay frame and raised it to give the window effect and used the some of the colours in the interior, black, brown, white... Now to cook dinner !!

Interior #3

2010-09-22T09:20:00.003+10:00

This interior rattled me a little, but in the end I am happy how it turned out. Check out the other entrants here...

These photos were taken at Corys Yr 7 Dance performance. They made up there own dances, Cory and his friends came up with a Basketball routine with some very cool moves and skills. We thought it was awesome..

OTP Tissue Box !

2010-07-06T22:45:00.003+10:00

I have used Stampin Up DP to decorate this tissue box holder. I was sick of having an orange tissue box which didn't match my decor. Any excuse will do LOL....

I was having so much fun, I decorated our phone cabinet to match too....

Have a great night. TFL XX

Challenge #14

2010-07-06T08:56:00.003+10:00

It has been a busy couple of weeks with end of financial year, working and school holidays. Finally I had time to join in this weeks challenge over at the Pink Elephant. This week we had to use a sketch along with the colours Red, Blue and White. I wasn't sure how I was going to use these colours in my album but found this photo which went perfectly.

Heres a close up (I need to practice my photography skills)

I will be back later with an OTP project I did a couple of weeks ago, just need to take the photos.

TPE Scrap Challenge #11

2010-06-16T22:24:00.004+10:00

This weeks TPE Scrap challenge #11 was to use a Black and White photo with any colour combo. I have trouble creating with black and white photos but I am happy with the final result. I have used Kaisercrafts range "Cafe culture". This photo is terrible as the LO isn't that dark but I have tried twice to lighten it but anyway you get the idea of it..

How Exciting !!!

2010-06-11T12:00:00.004+10:00

I was so excited to see that I was picked as one of the Top 3 over at The Pink Elephant and it was my very first challenge there. Any ways I thought I would participate in the card challenge also at the Pink Elephant #70

I have used the "Medallion" stamp and then just spritz and used crystal effects to make it pop. I also used the circle bling which I have had for a very long time waiting for the perfect time to use and I think it goes perfectly with this card. Well I have used all the criteria Scallop check, Colour Red check and a bow check. Now to prepare for the next scrap challenge just going to have my picture printed in BW.

Scrap Challenge #10

2010-06-07T09:33:00.003+10:00

Here is my take on The Pink Elephant scrap challenge this week.

I used this gorgeous new stamp from Stampin Up "Medallion", I just love it. I used so many techniques on this one, stampin, ink, glimmer mist, border punch, sewing. Anyways I am happy with the outcome and my Album to Egypt is another page closer to being completed.

Curtain Call : Act 32

2010-06-01T14:14:00.005+10:00

This is my very first curtain call color challenge. I made the flower with tissue paper and stamped each layer and then put some glitter on it, it looks better in real life. Anyways I am happy with the final product.

New Look !!

2010-05-30T13:33:00.002+10:00

Be patient with me because I'm not quite sure what to do next but stay tuned...
