A close up of the journalling .....

Eleven ... (& 12 goals for Lecca!!)

Now I think I've mentioned how much I am loving this months theme at My2Angels ?!?! LOL!! I could scrap this colour scheme ALL the time! So here is my 2nd LO which I posted a sneaky of in my last post, it is a gorgeous 'black & white' photo of my ‘ELEVEN’ year old and it is using a paper I actually picked and ordered for the other side (black patterned) but I really loved this side with the clocks that I just had to find a way to use it! 

I'm hoping I've done this 'ever-so-slightly-vintage' style justice?!

EDIT: This LO was accepted for publication 29 July 2010 .... YAY!!!
and will be published in Scapbooking Memories VOL 13 No 4 due out in March 2011!
I have left you a little sneaky below though!

I've used Core-dinations Black cardstock and the gorgeous Collage Press Scrooge Marley The Counting House paper, I cut off a strip of the paper and then cut out the clocks. I put strips of red cardstock and some red ribbon down the edges of the paper to match the red around the clocks. Then using 3D tape I put the clocks back on leaving a ‘shadow’ gap. 

The little clock face is something I picked up at a craft fair last year, cute eh?! 

 

I’ve used some Black and Red Mulberry flowers and Black Plaid Brads and partially hidden them behind the clocks together with a Key and Follow your Heart charm.

The gorgeous Scrapware Penny Farthing Bicycle, I sprayed with Raven Glimmer Mist (but coloured the seat red) and then finished it off using Inkssentials Crackle Accent and some Black Pearls. 

My title is a combination of Thickers Black Daiquiri alphas and the Jenni Bowlin Tiny Circle Alphas which I really, love at the moment! (they will be back in stock in the store later this week!)

 Thanks for looking .... will be back with more soon, can't wait to share the rest of this months My2Angels work .... so here are a couple of very tiny sneaks .... and don't forget to check out the blog for all the other DT's gorgeous creations this month .....

Hi ... well it's Sunday and that means its time for a new sketch over at Creative Scrappers! and I was SO excited when Kristine, the owner,  invited me to be their Guest Designer for sketch #107. Thank you so much Kristine, I love your blog and sketches and I had so much fun with this gorgeous sketch by Aphra. Check it out HERE.

For my take on the sketch I borrowed a very 'delightful' little girl so that I could do a 'pretty' LO with lace and stuff!!!  .. isn't she gorgeous! Thank you Miss K and Happy Birthday for Friday x x 

Just love these BG Cappella pp's!

... I also used Scrapware mini butterflies, pearls, lace and mesh ribbon to cover the chippy heart ...

... and a gorgeous flower I picked up from my LSS SFTH

So don't forget to pop over to CS and have a go at this sketch and check out all the fabulous takes on it by the Design Team ...

Final post for May

Wow where did the year go ... tomorrow it will be June and the first day of winter YUK!!! and to make it really feel like winter ... I have a stinky head cold!!!! but I still managed to finish off a couple of projects for the lovely Tracy at My2Angels ... hope you like?!

Carrying on with my dimension theme at the moment I have again mounted my main photo on chipboard and cut out a second photo and used 3D tape. The photos are from DS’s footy wind up last year, I can’t believe how much he has changed in a year,  12 to teenager is one huge leap let me tell  you!! I have used some more gorgeous papers from the Bo Bunny Mama-razzi range, which I have distressed and mounted on some white cardstock.  I have used some PP Stickers for my title and then journalled all around the patterned paper using a Brown Slick Writer (I love Slick Writers) and added some Black Rhinestones for a touch of bling. This was one of those pages that looked like it might need a little something else ... but everything I tried just didn't do it - so I figured I must have been right in the beginning and went with 'less is more'!!!!!!  

 Just click on the products to take you straight to the item in the My2Angels shop.

PP: Mama-razzi Aperture & Words: Cardstock: Holly Doodle Alpha: Slick Writer: Black Rhinstones

For my 2nd LO I have used some gorgeous October Afternoon papers, Fly a Kite, Sprinklers and Thrift Shop, Last One. I am so not happy though with the way the photo has come out for this, as the cardstock, believe it or not, is a yellow colour not the creamy beige colour it looks here - but as hard as I tried it would not play nicely for the camera or even the photo editor!! So if you could please just imagine a lemony yellow colour contrasting with the blue and the black that would be great! LOL!!  The title is Thickers and the clouds are Scrapware painted with Ranger Liquid Pearls.  The flower is a lovely My2Angels Mini Gardenias centred with a Plaid Fabric Brad and finished off with some of their charms, a Love Key and some really cute Leaves.

The cute little birdie pin and black button are from

My Little Bit of Whimsy!

Again just click to take you to the M2A shop
