Some new stuff

A Jillibean Soup challenge- this was for the challenge on Two Peas -to use Jillibean Soup products in a LO- almost everything is Atomic Soup- I love this line for boys pagesPencil Lines Sketch

I've taken a liking to punching holes in the top of my paper and then backing them with another paper this week as you can see from the first two LOs

This LO is Stanley writing his Christmas cards - decided only to send to the boys in his class hence the title " For you-as long as you're a boy"

Sassy Lil Sketches

Another Stanley LO- this time some photos from way back when- they are all baby photos of him pulling a strange face- the title is "the cutest little baby face" although I ran out of space for face but it's still OK as "the cutest little baby"

The journalling strips are blank because I have lost my black pen but they are covering up my face nicely!

Design Dollies

I missed out on the Design Dollies colour challenge this week so I thought I'd try and squeeze in the other challenges from this week. Two of our radiators needed fixing and that meant three days without scrapping as my desk needed to be cleared and moved- oh the horror!

Elements challenge- candles

If you look closely you can see a candle on my birthday cake and one stamped onto the ticket

This LO is for the sketch challenge- I used the tag instead of one of the photos on the sketch

Sketch challenge

What I did today

Actually its what I managed to do yesterday but I didn't get round to posting.

This first LO is for The Story matters sketch challenge
A really nice simple sketch (sorry about the photograph but my daughter's tip of a bedroom is the only one with a bright enough light)

h

here is the sketch

This LO was for Punky scraps their first ever challenge was a recipe - they wanted you to include white card, cardboard, paint, ribbon, buttons, paints- I managed all but the ribbon. I used mister instead of paint to make the title and the snowflakes- I used my Christmas card which has a cut out title ( the Dutch for snow if you haven't worked it out)

And if you haven't yet- check out the Scrapbooker's Anonymous Challenge for December- use rub-ons and no patterned paper!

Using the waste

This Lo is for A Trip Down Memory Lane- their challenge is to use the waste from your supplies- the packaging and make a LO with it- so I used the extra from a sheet of stickers ans made a background with it

A few weeks ago I made a LO with the cardboard packaging from some K and company card but that was designed to be used so I didn't think that would count but I'll repost the picture here to show you

This was for scrap that poetry ( when I was guest designer )

I'll get no Christmas presents from Santa- I've been naughty again

THis Lo is for two challenges

1. Twisted Sketches- the twist to this sketch was write- so I made a LO about Arthur writing his Christmas cards- this was the first year he could write his own cards- he decided to write them to the boys in his class, his teacher and a whole card for his teacher's dogs- he hates dogs!
Its also entered for the American Crafts challenge- use Dear Lizzy Christmas paper on the LO- I used three different papers- frosty fir, sparkling season and peppermint party and also the back of one of them

This was the sketch i used

The second LO is for Scrap it with a song ( more on that soon)

The song was "Just the way you are" and I chose the line "she's so beautiful and I tell her every day" - because its true although I seem to have forgotten the so!

I wanted a fairly simple LO and chose a photo that is a little unclear to add to the romantic feel of the whole thing

It's also for the studio challenges which asked you to make a LO without a title I thought the words were more like journalling than a title- I started of with it hand written but then I had to cover it over because it just didn't look right

A traditional Christmas

This was my entry for the American Crafts Dear Lizzy Christmas challenge- I'm not really very good with Christmas paper i buy it then never use it so this year I thought I'd better use it up while all those photos are fresh and new

The pictures are of Nancy dressing the tree - she posed for the first one with the staring eyes so I had to include it.

Products used the front of two of of the Dear Lizzy Christmas Papers- sleighing Song andJolly Jingle

the back of two more Christmas papers ( brown and cream)Jolly Jingle and Peppermint party

American crafts card stock

the felt tree is a decoration I took apart

Actually its not really a traditional Christmas colour palette is it?
