Jun sketch chall for SFS...

I'm finding the more sketches I do the more I love them!!! If they appeal to me I find them easier to do too...
I chose 'Time flies' as the title of my LO as it was like the past 11months had flown by...the aeroplane paper is actually acetate and I'm loving acetate at the moment...I've used a 3pk of Charms banners and a lovely lollipop...basic LO but effective..
TFL cheers Em x;)

June quote challenge for SFS...

So the quote was perfect for my LO this month. Making some memories celebrating our beautiful lil girls belated birthday and our first trip to The Great Australian Zoo...
This months quote: "The best thing about memories, is making them..."
loving the arrows and chevrons right now and especially charms chevrons which I have scattered over the page rather than putting them all together but I must admit I got this idea from Charm herself and loved it!!
TFL cheers Em x;)

June colour chall for SFS...

So this months colour combo was Red, teal, pink and yellow...to be honest I actually started this LO months ago but lost my scrapjo as to do what with it...when I saw this colour combo I realized I was just missing some yellow, so on went the drops of paint the flowers, a Charms creations yellow heavenly heart and yellow American crafts thickers that are foam/glitter and gorgeous!! The quote i used on this LO was a challenge set by Noel's over at scrapapples "How do you spell love?"-piglet "You don't spell it you feel it...."-pooh...
Love this LO it turned out way better than I anticipated...just wish my hand writing was much nicer..:(
TFL cheers Em x;)

P.S. Have you ever given an old LO a facelift or finished one you lost the mojo to complete?

May sketch chall set by Charm at SFS..

So for this challenge I used a pic of my lil man at the pool. Our local scrapapples challenge was to do a boys page using either pink or purple or both...so again I put the 2 on one LO..
I have used my new motex label machine from D-lish and I love it!!!
The white card stock I used an alphabet template and got my 4yr old daughter to use the colours pink purple and black to create my background and I think she done an awesome job!!! The chevrons are made by Charms creations and I'm in love with all her goodies...ever since I've started buying them I haven't scrapped a page without a bit of her gorgeous handmade embellishment...
TFL cheers Em x;)

May quote chall for SFS...

Unfortunately I didn't have a picture of all my beautiful amazing girlfriends together as I regard them all to be my sisters, I am so lucky to have each and everyone of them in my life...
This pic is close to my heart and I really love these 2 chics so the quote was perfect for this LO...
The quote was: my girlfriends are the sisters I picked out for myself...
TFL cheers Em x;)

May colour chall for SFS...

I absolutely loved this colour combo being navy blue, teal, dark pink, light pink and I added white...I have been wanting to do this sketch for a long time and as it was our local scrapapples sketch challenge this month set by Sherrena then I just decided I'd kill 2 birds with 1 stone lol...totally love the end result...
TFL cheers Em x;)

April sketch challenge....us

Hey guys this LO I have done I think is one of my favourites as I rarely scrap a pic of my hubby and I and it's minimal but packs a punch I reckon... I really have started liking grey with any other colour, in this case black and teal not to mention chevrons and arrows are right in at the moment too...TFL ;) cheers Em x
PS: the flair on this page was originally white with black script on it but to make it work on this LO I simply used some grey ink and coloured it in ;);)

April quote challenge...boy LO

"Life is a series of thousands of tiny miracles" was the quote we had to use on the LO some where...this sketch I have wanted to do for sometime now and I challenged myself to use orange and green but still wanted another colour to tie it all together so I chose cobolt blue and I think it worked perfectly...on this LO I also handmade the little "play hard" glass cabochon cameo simply by hot glueing the cameo onto my LO then using the play hard sticker from my collection of bits I stuck inside the cameo I then used a drop of dimensional magic to adhere the glass cabochon and let dry then wallah!! A hand made embellishment and in this case it totally made the page!! TFL ;) cheers Em x

April's colour challenge..

Chocolate, red, black and white...my take another boys LO and pretty happy how it turned out...I have used a cardboard cylinder from a roll of garbage bags and some acrylic paint to create the white rings on the background to break up all that brown cardstock...a technique I'll be using again for sure....;) TFL cheers Em x
