EVERY DAY SHOULD HAVE A BIT OF SUCH DELIGHTFUL SILLY

Wishing all those mothers, Grandmothers , Carers out there a wonderful Mothers day
This layout I just wanted to scrap as I love the photo. I love the look on both their faces . Amelia my Granddaughter  ever so pleased with her hairdressing skills on Joe's , my eldest son's  hair , and he is pulling a silly face also.
Whilst looking for PP to use I came across this Wizard of Oz PP that I have had for awhile, so I thought this looks like a fun PP and what really sold me was the "Your Hair always In Place " on it 

The frame is a old negative that I glimmer misted used lots of old thick cotton in the tag and button

A higgly , piggly title to go with the sillyness, and I use words on the PP to tie in with the title 

Thank you for calling by, I really do appreciate it

CSI CHALLENGE

Getting this one in in the nick of time. Nearly wasn't going to post it, thinking it wasn't good enough, but Hey I like it, it has meaning to me and that's what it's all about hey, and Lizzy  made me realize that the other day.
Plus it is of my gorgeous GD
I really liked the colour palette and that is what draw me to the challenge ~ Isn't it pretty

I have stamped around the edge of the photo with a I love you Stamp

A little banner and lots of perfect pearls

The hearts are stamped as well and I have gone around them with Kindy Glitz

The colours didn't photograph so, well and a cloudy day,

Thank you for popping by , and I think I may have missed the cut off anyway, but never mind

Oh and in the little envelope that says for Amelia to read I have journalling on my role as her Nanna, how proud I am to be her Nanna and the joy she brings to our lives and journalling about always staying true to herself and to know she is a beautiful and kind soul  and stuff like that.

Thanks for popping by, I am so tired I think a early night is in order for me

Love and Sunshine and a happy weekend

SKETCHES WITH A TWIST CHALLENGE

Hello lovely people,

I really liked the challenge over at Sketches with a Twist 



The Sketch  and the Twist to do a layout relating to Mothers. 
I have scrapped pictures of Mum and I on Mothers Day last year, and sadly Mum is no longer with us, so My first Mothers Day without her is making me feel sad, BUT  enough of that.
I love it when a layout comes together easily and for some reason this did for me. 
I think the Collectables that come with the new ranges of Kaiser Papers make it so easy.
The base Is "On this day Range, the Lace top is "Needle and Thread " Range .
Layering the collectables flowers 

Love how my banners turned out. The little brass latch is from Marally Craft 

The delicate little flowers are from Craftqueen  and the Remember word is from Scrapmatts, ( I really love the words, they are just the perfect addition to a layout )

Thank you for calling by, please let me know you were here.
Nearly Friday :)
Don't forget the challenges over at Orange Paperie and Colour Me Scrappy

KRAFT IT UP CHALLENGE ~ VINTAGE

Hello my scrappy friends,

Today I have been working on my layout for my class this weekend, but last week I received a message from Leanne  saying I had to do the challenge for  Kraft It Up  this month, as the challenge is Vintage/Heritage ( which you may have noticed I am quite partial to ), and Leanne said she would be checking, so I am to scared not to ! lol , But seriously thanks for the heads up Leanne, as I really do love doing Heritage Pages
The gorgeous brass flower and leaf is from Paper Stories  and I have added some gold paint also from Paper Stories

Lots of layers  and muslin and lace

The Vintage stamp is from Craftqueen  The PP is the new Kaiser Range Miss Empire , perfect for Heritage layouts

I love this photo. Not sure who the lady is on the end ( will have to see if a relative knows ) But then there is my Grandmother ~ Ma, My Uncle Croppie ( Alf) , his wife  Auntie Vera , My Aunty Nanie (Philomena) and Pa my Grandfather ~ This is on my mothers side. Funny how we give them nicknames and it becomes more their name than their name IYKWIM. I have tucked a tag in the top of the layout with journalling.
Anyway thank you for dropping by
Have yourselves a wonderful week
Love and Peace

Layouts using the New Kaiser Miss Empire and On this Day Ranges

Hello peoples

I am a very lucky girl as Allyson from Marally Craft gave me these two gorgeous ranges to do some layouts for the shop. The on this day range is so soft and pretty and Miss Empire is right up my ally as it is perfect for heritage pages.
So first the On this Day Range. I made a little bouquet of flowers with tulle and Satin Seam Ribbon

The photos are a little damaged which is a shame. Some washi tape from Craftqueen 

Now the Miss Empire Range
Once again the satin seam binding from Craftqueen, I love the versatility with this product, you can do so much with it, Make lovely soft bows , wet it and scrunch it, make flowers, pleat it and it comes in an array of colours. The words are from scrapmatts,  they have the most gorgeous products

added some texture paste and brushed pan pastel over it to add some colour

My Mum is the the one with dark hair and I think quite a looker. The light green behind is Prima packaging, I always save it as it is to nice to throw out and always comes in handy

The journalling is tucked in the side

I think I am compelled to scrap these old photo's as Mum passed away a few months ago and My Dad 5 years ago and I am the only girl ( boys don't tend to worry about these things) so If I don't tell their story, it will eventually be lost forever. A tip that I need to heed myself ~ write on the back of your photo's the who, what , when. I have a lot of photo's that I don't know who it is in them , let alone the story :( I know even with my travel photo's I have forgotten the name of some of the villages ( because I don't heed my own advice!)
It's been a rather long post , so you have done well if you are still with me. Thank you for calling by and I really appreciate your comments. Don't forget to visti Color Me Scrappy who has a new challenge posted and Orange Paperie will have the new challenge up on the 5th, so we would love you to join us :)
Have a fabulous weekend
Love , Peace and Sunshine
