MEMORY ~ SOUL SCRAPPERS CHALLENGE

Hello !
Today I would like to share my layout for the challenge at Soul Scrappers 
The inspiration is this movie poster 

and added criteria which you can choose to use some or all of , each giving added points
Blue cardstock background, One photo, One word gold title ,clock embellishments
Here is my take

Memory

When my daughter showed me the photo of her partner I knew I had to scrap it, it's so darn cute !
He is the little boy without the hat and they had just been airlifted from flood waters (hence the airmailstamp) The photo of the two exhausted boys was in the local newspaper. I love the old world feel to the photo.

I hope you can join us over at Soul Scrappers where there are lots of awesome challenges to inspire you to create.

IF THERE EVER COMES A DAY ~ PIXELS AND PAPER CHALLENGE

Good afternoon and welcome to my blog. Today I would like to share my layout for the challenge at Pixels and Paper. The theme this month is vintage and anyone that knows me, knows that I am partial to all things vintage :)
So here is my take on the challenge 

If there ever comes a day

My mother in law Teresa, whom sadly I never got to know.  I have mentioned here before that Teresa died very young, so it is important for me to scrap these photo's of Teresa  for her children  and Grandchildren , to keep her memory alive.
Basically this day I had just been over to Spotlight and purchased the papers at 50 cents each and I brought the Kaiser circle die ,  came home and put them straight to use. I thought the pattern on Teresa's dress went well with the Papers.
Thank you for calling by, please let me know you were here.

Hello !
Today I am up over at Megs Garden's Blog sharing with you my layout created with the new Rose Quartz Range. I have to tell you it is a stunning range to work with and the embellishments in my kit ..... Divine !
Here is what I created

The range is so soft and pretty and the Paper Lace doily is fabulous, so many options on how to create with it. I cut two corners from it and added to the top and bottom of my layout

FEELING LUCKY ~ ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE

Good morning on this beautiful Sunday.
Today I would like to share with you the new challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy challenge and I hope you will like to join us and create a project with the word Lucky as your title or in your journalling. 

One Moment in Time

I have used the word lucky in my journalling. I feel so Lucky to have travelled and seen amazing places.
I also feel lucky that on this layout I have used lots of lovely embellishments I have received from lovely ladies. 
The dies were sent to me from a lady in the USA that I am on a DT with. The sequin lock and key is from my Pen Pal in Portland Oregan, the silver mesh around my photo is from my Pen friend in Dublin as is the Washi tape, so I am one Lucky girl :)
Thank you for calling by, wishing you a beautiful day filled with all that you love

LIVE A FULL LIFE ~ CHALLENGE YOURSELF ~ CHEVRONS

Good Evening on this Easter Thursday.

Today I would like to share a layout for the challenge over at Challenge yourself. The criteria is chevrons and of course you must be in the photo.

Live a full Life

So I have used a little bit of everything for my chevrons :)
I have used a mask and texture paste and coloured the chevron pattern with different coloured Pan Pastels. I also used Washi Tape , chipboard pieces that I inked and also my tag under the photo has a chevron pattern on it. I think I have the chevron covered lol
The photo is taken overlooking the city of Prague . Gosh looking at photo's takes me back and makes me want to go back ! Still I am blessed to have traveled at all and I treasure all my memories of far away places and people. Maybe one day again, you never know. The green PP is much softer than it photographed, its hard sometimes to get the true colour.
I would like to wish you all a very Happy Easter, I hope you get to spend it with those you love.
I am feeling for the people of Brussels so I think it is so important in the world we live in today to spread as much kindness and love as we can to one another.

Love , Peace and Kindess
