You & I @ Scrap the Girls

I have joined in with Scrap the Girls this month, with this great sketchy inspiration

Thought this one was fabulous!

So I have scrapped this photo of my beautiful grown up GD Tashi & I...cos I love it.

I have used water colour paper, cos I love it too & used Ken Olivers's Color Burst power puff paints on it - cos I love them too! I really love them!! No wonder he called them color bursts!!

Plus lots of bibs & bobs..

Thank you for a lovely challenge.

Stamping Magic @ Scrap the Girls

I haven't played along with Scrap the Girls for ages, but had a bit of time today so joined in with this fabulous challenge April Challenge.

Isn't this the most gorgeous mood board!!

So using this photo taken early today, of my darling little grand daughter, who was visiting ...I had fun!! Misting & sticking & stamping...what joy!

Pippi is all set up for some stamping fun & some lovely Easter stamps I bought specifically for her to play with.

I just loved the tea cups in the inspiration with the gold rims...oh aren't they gorgeous!

Pippi also loves using my circle punches, so we cut out quite a few the other day...so they fitted perfectly, along with an off cut of Jade's wedding album too.

Thank you for a lovely inspiration.

Remember When @ Scrap The Girls

Last official day of my holidays...so I have scrapped...& of course loved it!

The challenge over at Scrap The Girls is

Take inspiration from the following quote : you may choose to go with the colour, use the whole quote etc - just have fun with it!  

" Something old, Something New, Something Borrowed, Something Blue"

So here is my page, I have used one of my fave's Kaisercraft Pickled Pear pp & embellishments with some Prima flowers & WOW chipboard

...I choose to use those words in my journaling..

Something old - mum's pretty antique brooch

Something new - my winner's sash

Something borrowed - my long hair extension (I had just had my hair cut short!)

Something blue - my period velvet & lacy outfit.

 

And a little more detail about me in this photo...

This was the very fist Junior Jacaranda Princess quest in Grafton in 1967, & I won it...my mum's dressed me up beautifully in this period outfit, & to this day I still cant believe it!

Thank you for a gorgeous challenge..

We Had High Hopes @ STG

A little time & an old photo so perfect to scrap this with April's challenge at Scrap The Girls.

This month we want you to scrapbook your girls using traditional boy colour schemes and some "boyish" embellishments!!!Remember no boys allowed, just boy stuff!!

So here is my page...I really loved using the 'boyish' things for a photo of my dear flatmate Helen & I take years ago...

Kaisercraft 'Basecoat' began my page & embellished with other glories I had in my cupboards!

Thanks for looking.

Debi

 

I'm pretty sure....

.... that with sparkly shoes, a new tiara & pegs she could conquer the world.

 

 

So with that said..here is my LO for the January challenge over at Scrap the Girls.

 

 

Here is the fabulous sketch to use by Amanda Hartmann

 

 

I have had loads of fun with all sorts of bits & bobs to create this happy page about our Pippi.

A Smile is the best makeup a girl can wear....

What a fabulous saying  for this months challenge at

Scrap the Girls   a Smile is the best makeup a girl can wear....

 

So I had to scrap this fab photo of my Jadie & Pippi...aren't they both so gorgeous!

 

Am I biased or what! :)

 

I used plain white CS & gesso's some hexagon shapes, misted pink GM across the top & wiped off, misted again with aqua & wiped some away, & then blew the runs across the page with a straw..now that was fun!

 

 

 

I needed to do this magic photo justice!

 

Thank you for looking..

One Happy & Proud Mummy

 

I decided to join in with Scrap the Girls and here is my page.

 

The criteria for April is

 

BUTTONS

PAINT/MISTS

HEXAGONS

 

I have misted with 2 masks & 3 colours, plus used the wonderful Kaisercraft range 'Pickled Pear', of bits & bobs with a handmade rosette flower from Tattered Inspirations, alphas by Snap with this beautiful photo of my daughter & her darling daughter. 

So the title 'One Happy & Proud Mummy' also applies to me as well as my Jade.

 

This was a joy to work on today!

Well we sure - us 3 great friends Michelle, Rachel & myself - did at Carol Mead's Tattered Inspirations Autumn Retreat in Canberra in April...

In Her Dreams

I decided to join in at Scrap the Girls this month, using a photo of my dear friend Trish when she was OS last year (how can it already be last year!!!).

The criteria for January is monochromatic, so I choose khaki greens, with some variations on that theme.  I glimmermisted some cotton lace coffee & green, inking lots & had fun finding bits & bobs in my stash to suit my page.

I adore mono themes, & enjoyed this challenge - thanks gals.

Fly!

 

What a great inspiration at Scrap the Girls this month....I just LOVE the colours & it says to me...fun, fun, fun!

So I was lucky enough to have a marvellous photo of Madeline ( love the white & blue showing so clearly) at Christmas on the Big Banana waterslide.....(great photo Jade!) & so chose to use that with some OA papers, Marg's bottle cap, Prima flowers, Echo Park do dads, & some bits & bobs from my stash, & I like how it has turned out.

 

Take care gals....

11th hour for Scrap the Girls....

 

Nothing like leaving til almost too late!!!! But had to scrap my lovely grand daughter Tashi on her board in the sea off Alex Head...she is such a wonderful mermaid ...

Take care xxx
