Snowflake

The latest challenge is up at Scrapbookers Anonymous- this month it is  to get grubby with some paint, ink and mist- I have to say this is not one of my favourite techniques - but this is what I came up with

I decided to mist through a doily with some blue and white to use as a background for a winter snow LO- i then layered up another few with some tonal blue papers

Nancy loves to eat snow- and this is her with some snow on her tongue-  its hard to stop her- last year she would pick snow up from walls and the floor to eat- the only hope is that it doesn't snow this year  ( fingers crossed)

Why not go over to the Scrapbookers Anonymous blog to look at the other inspiration

not a cloud

I have four days before I have to go back to work- I have two sets of exam papers to mark and some course work that needs marking but I haven't got my hands on yet- but do I feel like marking and preparing lessons- no - so when I had a few moments of quiet away from the children I made this for the latest Sketchy Thursday challenge

like a diamond in the sky

This is my design team submission for the latest challenge at Twisted sketches- the twist this time is jewel so I used a picture of Nancy as a little star during her Christmas Nativity and used a line from the song Twinkle Twinkle that she had to sing

If you want to have a look at the sketch and all the other inspiration why not nip over to Twisted sketches and take a look- just follow the link at the side

Little Santa and his Helper

I found a new challenge to have a go at- white with one- the challenge is to use white with one other item/colour/suggestion- this month its Christmas themed and you can use lots of colours but I used white card as my base and then the Christmas tree paper with a white background-

I didn't quite have enough space across the top for the better title of Little SAnta and his helper but its OK as is

I used a picture of Arthur dressed specially to make mince pies with me and his sister- he wore his red pyjamas and a santa hat to make a mess in the kitchen

blue face- bad photo

I apologise for the bad photo but once the sun has set there's no chance of getting a good shot in our house of anything- LO or child

I was quite happy with the blue tinge to the photo of Arthur playing on the computer - but I'm not so happy with the shadow of me taking the photo across the LO- the title ( if you can see the small letters ) is Blue Face

This one is for Stuck sketches

when Nancy gets hold of the camera

This LO is for Get Picky - Nancy loves to get her hand on the camera and take her own pictures- the problem is the outcome is always quite bonkers ( or is that a benefit)  any way I put three of her pictures together on this- one of her face blurred- one of the Christmas tree  blurred and only the top of the tree- and one of her legs!

this was the sketch

Happy hand- unhappy Anne

 

I made a bit of a boo boo when I made this LO- I was using the sketch from Another Freakin Scrappy challenge- but I failed to realise the key part was to make a LO about a  recipe- I thought I'd post it anyway with numerous apologies along with it

I also had in mind the Scrap Your Crap challenge to use a handful or more of buttons on your LO

I hope I haven't upset anyone by combining challenges
