New Beginnings~ Scrap Africa

Evening scrappers, I just wanted to share my layout I did for the challenge over at Scrap Africa...

365 Days

Good evening scrappers, I 'd like to share my latest layout...I used the sketch and journaling theme from Once Upon A Sketch...and the criteria for the black and white challenge over on the Flying Unicorn forum

I decided I would make this about of 1st wedding Anniversary  (which just happened to be yesterday)

 part of the journaling located behind the pictures
Our 1st anniversary, Love,
Brings feelings of delight,
Thoughts of the pleasure that you give me
Every day and every night.

I’m grateful for each day and hour;
I thank the Lord above
For giving me the precious gift:
Of your deep, enduring love.

As our lives go on and on,
One thing is always true:
To the very end, I’ll always wish
For more time, more love with you.

Thank you so much for coming to take a peek!

It was one heck of a light show that's for sure! anyway I just wanted to share my entry for the Blue Fern Studio's June challenge...I loved the sketch this month and thought this picture was perfect for it!

 I love this chippy piece I've been dying to use it and this seemed to be the perfect opportunity!

Together

Just wanted to share the layout I made for the once upon a sketch challenge, the journaling theme " the best things in life aren't things" the first thing I thought of was Family time...which lead to one of my favorite things we used to do as a family...summer family BBQ's~ it was so easy when the kids were little and we all lived on the East coast, we used to get together every summer the whole family,aunts uncles,grandparents cousins..haha when I say whole family I mean it...it looked like a mob!

this picture is from one of those times my daughter (shes now 21...cries where did the time go) is on the right,with her favorite cousins.
there is hidden journaling behind the picture.

thank you for coming to take a peek!

Repurposed Iced Tea container

Afternoon my scrappy friends...I wanted to share my latest project, the idea started from the new June challenges up over at the Flying Unicorn forum Lainie has an awesome challenge called "What your purpose?" This challenge is all about finding some item in your house that you would normally toss into the garbage and to redesign it's original purpose into something that is useful for you or that you could gift to someone else. This idea fit perfect with the new challenges up at A2Z Scraplets (off the page challenge) and Beyond Grey challenges (Stamping and Misting) So I decided to combine all three...

you see we are big Crystal light fans so I always have these little containers....

I've used them to store markers,pencils and flowers...but I never thought to decorate them LOL

the piece of chipboard is from A2Z Scraplets...it was the perfect size to use on this project!

 Criteria for the challenge at Beyond Grey:

• You must have visible Misting on the face of your project - Any kind of misting will do for example - Using mists like Lindy's stamp gang or color bloom by prima etc,  Making a splatter with a paint brush , Using a tooth brush with water colors to create a nice misting on your project. 
• Your project must show Stamping on Fabric !  Its time to pick and experiment with any type of fabric and see how your stamps work on them. !

I did my stamping on the fabric leaves and on the brown ribbon on the bottom and you can see my misting/paint drippings and now my shape scissors have a pretty new home!

Thanks for coming to take a peek!
