Scrap Africa Mood Board Challenge no.73

I really loved the colors on the mood board over at Scrap Africa....I tried to incorporate as many as I could into my background but I also like the first image on the mood board...it reminded me of stacking so I tried to get that same feel with my stencil...I used basic water colors for multiple layers then I used distress ink with the stencil....I couldn't help but splash some plain water at the end...I love the splotches it leaves!

thanks for coming to take a peek!

Scrap Africa Mood Board no.71

here is my take on the new challenger over at Scrap Africa....they have an awesome mood board with some bright orange and blue and the cutest little robot....as you can tell those are the things that caught my eye....I thought those things would make a cute boy card...so that's just what I did...
I just had to create a robot using my silhouette Portrait and make it into a paper piecing of sorts....I think its kind of cute...

Scrap Africa no.55

Oh there's a new challenge over at Scrap Africa Challenge no.55 - July Mood Board ......first thought was my wood grain papers (that I might have been hoarding I just love them!) I wanted to pull the wood and the colors from the mood board and make a pretty card that had a country feel to it...I think I did a pretty good job getting my idea to the paper!

 I had these cute little wood flower embellishments from Prima,called Natural bark shapes...I added them under the twine...

Scrap Africa No 53

the new challenge over at Scrap Africa was just posted and I couldn't wait to take a crack at it!! I have all these pretty papers from My Minds Eye Hello world which is all about traveling!!
can you tell where I took my inspiration from? yup yup it was the little cars in the background and the colors...I made this card for my hubby, he's leaving on a week long trip this Friday...driving all the way to Oregon....so I thought I would stash this with a little note in his bag!

Over at Scrap Africa they have a Fabulous Retro mood board to use for this challenge...at first I wasn't really sure what I was going to do....I loved the suitcases  but in the end it was the colors and the roller skate that caught my eye so I dug through my scraps and came out with these wonderful colors....
I decided to make a retro card.....

One fine day

I thought I would share the layout I made for scrap around the worlds..the mood board this month is just fabulous...

 my inspiration came from the butterflies...the coloring and the butterflies themselves..I used the light green and blues on my layout between the papers and the mist.. Scrap Around the world

Good day scrappers....I know I've been slacking the last couple of weeks,I've been busy behind the scenes and not posting to much to my blog. Now its time to play catch up...Most of my followers know I started scrapping after the loss of my youngest daughter Stephanie in September 2012... I wanted to do a memorial album,which as it turns out has been very therapeutic and its also helped remember some of best days we had with her...I go into this now because Nov 2 was her 15th birthday and friends and family gathered to do a balloon release in her honor! I did a page that was bright and up lifting because that's just how I want to remember her! The Mood board from Scrap Around the world  was just perfect for my balloon picture and just set the mood for the whole page!

 I used the rainbow colors and the heart as inspiration...I loved the background until I added the hearts...then not so much LOL But I worked with it until I liked it again!

It took me awhile to figure out what I wanted to do with the sketch from Scrap Around the World
they also had a mood board...I think that's where my trouble began LOL

sorry its been cloudy here for days so my picture is a bit off in colors

 I really loved the cabinet in the background in the second picture on the mood board and the gauzy table cloth in the first picture...those were the two things that stuck in my hear while I was pulling stuff out of my stash...when I was shuffling through my papers this blue paint chipping just reminded me of the cabinet in the picture and knew I had to use it!
