Retreat scrapping

I've been retreating this weekend with some friends and had such a blast. I had some dt work that needed to be sorted out for Just scrapbooking and Lime Tart and once that was done and dusted I played around with creating for a few challenges.

Sweet cat dreams

Our Reenie sound asleep in her basket.

I love Missy Lou but this green paper was really giving me challenge.

I hot Mama.

I ended up swipping the green paper with white paint and ink as it was too stark for me. The photo is of friend Yvonne taken a few years back. She challenged me at the retreat to scrap it for her. She has been scrapping for years and has always included a punched out frog on her layout and her grandies love looking for them so when I finished it I added a frog for her. You can see him sticking out from under the flower spray.


After struggling with this when Lou said as she was working on a layout that she needed to think outside the box I challenged her to do a layout with her cricket. lol it was like I asked her to pull her teeth out a defiant no. Anyway Yvonne and I were joking with her about it all and we started to play little tricks on her. Turning of her cricket a few times and the like. Well we decided to hijack her gypsy when she went and had a shower. When she came back there was a ransom note on her chair. It was so funny watching her trying to work out who we had passed it onto. Hope you still love me Missy Lou.

I'll share my Lime Tart projects once they go up in the gallery.

Little Lou.

I have been promising Lou for a while now that I would scrap her up a tag and here is the start of it. I am going to pop her into a insert and embellish the outside a little. I have done this up for a challenge blog I stumbled across called 7 kids collage fund challenge blog. The challenge was to use pink and dots.

Here are the colours I used to colour Lou.

Hair-E50,e51,e53
Skin-EOOO,EOO,E01,R11 and so E11 as eye shadow.
Here dress, shoes and flowers were all stamped on patterned paper.

Hi card.

Some creating from last night

Kiss card.

The other day Craig asked me if I had a tag he could use. When he said what he wanted it for, ID card for a meet and greet he was going to that day for his radio club I suggested that I scrap one for him for his next one. So I did.

Craig's tag.


I have done this up for a challenge over at The Club Anya blog to Morph one of their cute little people. I stamped up two images and then swapped the heads over to give the original one a new look.I have used from the Roll Call set Pau'ls head on Dylan's body.

Before you go just a little update on my Missy from this morning.

I was brushing my teeth this morning and I thought to myself that the tooth paste tasted funny and didn't think anything else of it until........

"Mum does your toothbrush taste of soap"

The little brat had put soap on our toothbrushes last night as a prank. I was so not happy.

And what did I do.

Grabbed her toothbrush, put soap on it and continued to brush her teeth with it. It didn't fazed her though. She was so proud that she had pulled a prank on us and told everyone at school all about it.

Well that is it for me. I have got some serious packing to do. I am of to a scrap retreat tomorrow with some friends and I so can't wait.

Thanks for popping in, any comments and happy creating.

Heritage layout and some colouring

I'm back with another layout to share. I wanted to show this one to Jordie before posting seeing as it is my my next heritage class at Just scrapbooking.

A soldier and his Mum.


Details of the class will be in the side bar.

When I was planning a title for this one I had a mental block on how to spell soldier. lol I ended up having to look it up in a dictionary as it so didn't look right.

I also did some colouring this afternoon while watching the Dockers play against the Eagles. Go Dockers.


Now I just have to pop it on a card Wednesday night when I scrap with my friend Jane.

Thanks for popping in, any comments and happy scrapping.
