So this LO is for another Freaking Scrappy Challenge- you may have noticed a flurry of activity today- I have a week off work for half term but my children's half term was last week .  :(

This LO has a couple of pictures of Nancy after a recent friends party- they had a face painter and Nancy got there quite early- she managed to get her face done and some flowers up her arm- of couse we both wanted photos
its using the sketch from AFSC

Tears For Fears

N

This LO is for Scrap it With a Song tears for Fears challenge.

The song is by Tears for Fears and I chose a line that comes right at the end

"One little boy one little man"

To illustrate the lyric I chose three pictures of Arthur aged about three, five and seven. It's hard to believe how quickly he's changed. He looks even more different now as he has a hair cut but I like the   transition but with the same haircut 

Casino JAck

Half the month gone and I am still not up to date

This LO is for the Feb challenge At From Screen to Scrap

The challenge is to use the movie poster for Casino Jack as inspiration

As well as the poster the LO needed grey cardstock, playing cards and bank notes

The playing cards were easy enough as I had a stash of mini cards from Christmas crackers

The bank note was a little harder but I used a bank note that Arthur was sent in the post from the Philippines 

pink hearts

This LO is for the lates challenge at  White with One

The challenge white with pink and hearts. this made me realise how little pink I buy. I had to resort to some paper with patterns if pink and other colours in order to find enough paper to use. the title is supposed to be the title of the paper- it was on the strip at the bottom and I left it on- Love at First Sight

take a seat

 

This LO is for the 1st Feb sketch at Stuck Sketches ( see below)

i decided not to use three photos but kind of replicated it by using a photo of my three in weird plastic armchairs at the hypermarket in France when we were on holiday.

they looked absolutly tiny sitting in the chairs next to a massive yellow wall- so of course I took a photo

confusion

This LO is for the latest challenge at Scrap OUr Stash- this month it is anything fuzzy

I used to have so much felt stuff in my stash but I found I had very little left when I started this challenge. In the end I just used some old felt sticker ribbon from Queen and Co to embellish the LO.

The photo is Nancy at her brother's family birthday party. I have no idea why she looks so confused but I love to take close ups of my kids faces and do so at any oppurtunity. I guess I just took the chance when I had it.
