Bling Princess

For this months challenge for Scrap 365 I chose a cute photo of Chloe wearing one of my necklaces. When we went to visit earlier this year she loved getting into my bag and trying different necklaces. She truly is a Bling Princess.

 

 

I hope you enjoy my page.

Baby Coco

This page is titled  Baby Coco.  Noah called Chloe by this name when he first started talking. I thought it was a cute name for her and it has stuck.
I have done this page as a challenge for Creative Scrappers.Challenge No 268. Because it was such an unusual sketch with all the circles it really caught my eye.The theme I have used is very pretty with lots of flowers and pearls and pinks. I have tried to keep the page simple and uncluttered because there was only a small interpretation for the photo and the photo is really the reason for the page. To soften and tie the circles to the page I have spritzed the background.

 

 

 

I hope you enjoy my page. Happy Scrapping.

Noah.... 2014

The team at Scrap 365 have a great sketch to work with this month. I looked at it and thought it was great to use multiple photo's. I also had a little play with using water colours. I just used Derwent Pencils and a paint brush. I used it as part of the background and also on the tag for the title.I was happy with it and it has encouraged me to use it more on other pages. I used a diecut for the stars and then covered them with dimensional magic which gave them added depth.

Thanks for looking at my page. Happy Scrapping.

Summer Fun.. Chloe

This is a special day in Australia. We are celebrating ANZAC Day which means we pause to think of our diggers who fought for the freedom of our wonderful land in numerous incursions in other lands. We have our dawn memorial sevices and many return soldiers and current serving members and their families march in parades around the country. We think of our family members who made the ultimate sacrifice and we are also thankful for those who returned We thank them. We appreciate them. LEST WE FORGET.

On a lighter note Scrap the Girls challenge this month is to  scrap a girls page in a boy theme. It feels like you are doing something left handed. It sounded easy. Mmmmm.... only sounded easy. I have chosen a blue theme( blue for boys) but I have added dashes of pink.I have also deliberately chosen pink themed photo's ( pink for girls) to give me the balance I was after.

I loved these photo's and in the end enjoyed creating the page.I hope you enjoy my page.
Happy Scrapping.   Heather B.

Forever Beautiful

I have just spent an enjoyable Sunday scrapping and chatting the day away. This is a great way to relax and exchange some good ideas and also share some of  your stash. The page I was creating was looking ok but just needed that extra something and lo and behold my friend said "why dont you try this". And it turned out to be just right and the catalyst to spur me on for the rest of the page. Scrapping friends are special.
This is the page I created. Scrap 365 have an interesting challenge at the moment with lots of layering. I enjoyed this because I love using leftover pieces of patterned paper and mixing different ranges. I love the flowers that I have used. I have been waiting to use them on just the right page and this is the one.

Our Favourite Boy

While blog hopping I was thrilled to find the Scrap 365 blogsite.This  site is based in England and it made me think about being here in Australia with temperatures at the moment of approximately 40 degrees while in England it is freezing with snow storms.I am scrapping with the airconditioner on and not venturing out until the evening when...no guarantees...the temperature may have dropped a little.
They have a lovely challenge with three photo's. I love being able to do a page with multiple photo's because it tells more of the story of the photo. Sometimes it is hard to choose just one photo when you have a lovely series of  the same time when the photo was taken. When I first started scrapping I always did double pages to be able to  use a number of photo's and looking back it is very nice to look at the variety within the one page.

Anyhow enough rabbiting on. I hope you like my page and my version of the sketch.

Happy Scrapping.  Heather B :)

Rubber Ducky

Wow! I can't believe how long it has been since I last blogged. Life has taken a few twists and turns but hopefully I will now be able to keep  a regular date with my blog. In my Autumn blog I was waging a war with the parrots in my almond tree. Well suffice to say I think that this round was well and truly won by the birds. I think I have the fattest and most well fed parrots in the neighbourhood, but they are really beautiful and cloourful.Ah well, next year I will have to try harder. If any one has some good ideas let me know.

The team at White with One have a December challenge and the colour to use is banana with white.
I love yellow tones and had a lovely photo of Chloe that I thought would work well with this theme.
I used yellow paint for the masking and stamping and overlayed this with more stamping and then added a flower spray and some twine. I really love using twine. I also added some bling.

 

 I hope you enjoy my page and maybe get some ideas.

Happy Scrapping. Heather B
