From Screen 2 Scrap Challenge

Hi everyone, hope you're having a good weekend.

Screen 2 Scrap's January challenge poster is from the film TED

The Criteria was to use white cardstock as the base,

Large bold one word title

and a teddy bear.

My teddy bear is in the photos.

 

Opa is Dutch for grandfather

I cut some tags on the Cricut to go behind the photos and used a little butterfly brad to cover up my little cutting error!! I'm very good at cover ups now; I've had a lot of practice :)

Thanks for visiting

a day at the beach

This photo brought back some great memories of a happy family holiday.

 

All four children happy together! :)

 

This is my youngest daughter with her blow-up swan on a hot sunny beach in France.

 

I cut a stencil of wings and stencilled this behind the photo and layered up some scraps underneath.

 

I would like to enter this into the Artastic Challenge to use chalks and wings.

Go Karting Double Page Layout

A little while ago we went on a short trip to Holland,

Where, to my surprise my son went karting

 (I didn't think he would have to nerve to go on such a big track)

I took a panorama view of the whole track.

The others are of my son going around, he did very well too!

Guinea Pig shaped bread

 Hi everyone,

Are you having a good Saturday?

It's so cold here the only thing to do is stay in and bake and craft.

We've made guinea pig cake so I thought bread would be a good idea!

I pushed 2 sultanas in the front to make eyes and pulled the dough to make ears.

Very easy, but while its proving you have to keep pushing the sultanas in and reshaping the ears, but it baked beautifully.

steampunk 18th Birthday Card

 

 

 

This is the card I made for my daughter's 18th birthday - she is quite into Steampunk at the moment.

The 18 was cut on the cricut and embossed and alcohol inks in browns for an aged effect.

I also cut the cogs on the cricut.

 

 

 

 

The steampunk lady is a free clip art.  I did follow the blog its from when I nabbed the clipart but somehow it didn't work.  So I will have to search again for it - he also had some other nice clipart to use for free.

I would like to enter this into the Top Tip Tuesday challenge 'kids and teens'

 

 

 

Thanks for looking

Autumn Thank you card

I have made this card for the less is more Autumn challenge and also for the CAS-ual Fridays over the edge challenge.

 

I used a free stamp from craft stamper magazine to make the leaves and embossed them in different colours.

The very large brad is from an old handbag that was going in the bin, so I pulled bits off it (well I am a crafter! these bits will come in useful one day!)

 

 



We Love Molly Coggles!

From Screen to Scrap's inspirational poster this month is from the film 'a tree grows in Brooklyn'

The criteria to be used were to include a tree, some leaves and use a black and white photo.

This photo is of one of our guinea pigs - Molly Coggles!

As Molly is a ginger pig browns on the page were the only way to go.

I used a svg cut for the tree and also cut out the title on my cricut.

 

I also used a sketch from Sketchbook 365 to make a start on this layout.

The Last Days of the Girly Gang

Good Morning everyone!

Here its raining so a perfect day for some crafting... after the housework, washing and cooking :(

I'll just make sure I do the minimum so I have plenty of time to craft :)

 This layout is of my daughter and her friends, taken at the middle school prom.  These girls stuck together like glue! until they went off to high school and made new friends and drifted into new girly gangs!

The original photo was taken with a horrible orange background and really didn't go with the girls' dresses at all, so I cut it away.

I used a brass stencil for the background and inked it with distress inks and brushed over perfect pearls powders for a lovely shimmery girly effect.

I made the flower on the right using lining paper, inked this and powdered it too.

I am entering this into the Artastic Challenge - to use handmade flowers.

Thanks very much for visiting me!

Butterfly stamped card

 

Hello,

 

This is my second offering for today.

 

 

 

 I inked and stamped some cheap photo paper - the stars and butterfly are free stamps from Craft Stamper magazine.

I painted the butterfly with perfect pearls and clear embossed over the top.

 

I have found a new challenge site called Tuesday Alchemy and they are having an anything goes challenge.  The stampman have changed their challenges to once a month and their challenge is Birds, Butterflies and Bees.

Top Tip Tuesday allow up to 3 entries for their challenge so I would like to enter this one in their Things with Wings challenge.

 

Thank you so much for visiting and I do love to read your comments!
