The Clarks {Mis) Adventures @ Soul Scrappers

Over at Soul Scrappers they have a Soul Scrappers Quest running every couple of months and this time it is 

SSQ27 'On The Road Again'

I was lucky enough to join in & the jubilant Jen Fawkes mailed me some wonderful bits & bobs to use on my project.

I had a brainwave, & I decided to make this special album for Pete's 60th which will be in November. I know I have to find some old, old photos in the files so I will be undoubtedly adding some more pages/photos to this before the birthday comes around.  

But I am happy with it so far & I know Pete will have a chuckle, & here it is!

Affirmations Cards @ Soul Scrappers

Mitzi the fabulous card maker at Soul Scrappers came up with the idea of making some cards with Affirmations...& I relished getting into them.

I recently purchased from Auzz Trinklets & Crafts some Ken Oliver's Colour Burst...little bottles of gorgeous powder that you puff (or paint) over wet water colour paper & this is a quickie coloured page that my friend Leanne & I worked on in just a few moments...

So I decided to make these into affirmations cards....along with some Zentangled Inspired Art, that also was inspired by a friend Margaret Crawford & giving me a fabulous book called Zentangle 9, Color with Mixed Media last week....

I even decided to use my own hand writing!!

So very satisfied I have made these....and I think I will make some more!

Thanks for looking...

Some digi LO's over at Soul Scrappers...

I have been up early most mornings & so I have been sitting quietly in my scrap room...playing with my digi scrapping program...

and that lead to working on some LO's for Soul Scrappers..

Here is Shazza's LIFT26 titled Coffee Love..it is off Pinterest

And my take on it...using my lovely Pippi & her daily Baby Chinos

Next is Angie's challenge CUCC42 - a recipe challenge - Every Picture Tells a Story

My Recipe consists of your layout having at least the following ingredients

(you can have more or additional elements as well):

• NO visible journaling
• Kraft/tan background
• One photo only
• at least One tag
• Ribbon or twine
• Leaves - stamping or embellishment
• 

 I love how Jade decorated Pippi's shoes & I love this photo, so perfect to scrap!

Next is Mitzi's challenge..MYC17

International Day of Families

I used a lovely family photo showing off the Willis's & Clark's together at 'the wedding of the year'.

I thought Family Magic was a great title too...perfect!

 

Next page is Shazza's SLC46 - song & lyric challenge using

THE TROGGS "Wild Thing"

(by Chip Taylor)

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

Wild thing, I think I love you
But I wanna know for sure
Come on and hold me tight
I love you

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

[Instrumental break]

Wild thing, I think you move me
But I wanna know for sure
So c'mon and hold me tight
You move me

Wild thing
You make my heart sing
You make everything groovy
Wild thing

Wild thing
C'mon, c'mon, wild thing
Shake it, shake it, wild thing

 

So here is my take...using photos from our Scottish trip in 2006 of the Falkirk Wheel...a huge way of moving water....I think it is very groovy!

FS2S26 challenge was next....this challenge is using the poster to create a page

 And my take on the subject...

When I started this page, I realized that my mum didn't have a bridesmaid, my photos from 1976 need scanning in...so I choose this photo from 1929 off the internet to play with.

And to my latest digi page for dear Karen.. TTT5

And here is my happy & sunny page

Having the ability to sit in the quiet & work on digi pages has been marvellous...I am so pleased that I am feeling somewhat better & can play around.

Thanks for looking.

Be Brave, Be Thankful @ Challenge YOUself

The challenge at Challenge YOUself is a wonderful one...

Challenge YOUrself #11: Scrap An Affirmation

 

Scrap an affirmation that YOU would like to attract into your life.
(Remember to include YOU in the layout)

 

So here is mine...actually there is lots of affirmations on this fabulous paper I have chosen to use. I have forgotten who makes it....perhaps Crate Paper...

& I have emptied my waste bin! Oh dear

 

 

 

I have also added this to Soul Scrappers Negative Space challenge, using this sketch by the wonderfully arty Joy Anderson

 

 

 

Thank you for a great challenge,

Hugs xx
