quick off the mark

Have been flying through LO's this week luckily I have been off sick from work and my arm hasnt hindered me too much! bonus lol
The new palette for CCG went up this morning and I have had fun inking and painting and flocking all over the place
Here is the palette

& here is my take

My inspiration from the pic was yikes my lounge looks all worn out & grubby compared to that one and that was how it rolled lol

Skissedilla challenge 85

Found another great sketch challenge blog Skissedilla
As it was youngest DD's birthday yesterday we spent a pleasant few hours in the craft room scrapping the same pic but different sizes.
I wanted to use the sketch for challenge 85 at Skissedilla but we both used the same PP
this was the sketch & here is my take

The Color room #31

Am starting to love color challenges again so have been giving them a whirl this week
The pallette at TCR this week was this

and here is my take

Used AC pp, thickers, a 3bugs in a rug chipchatter sticker for the title and a little fussy cutting and some bling

Scrapping the music challenge

Have scrapped tons of the girls and never seem to get many pics of Josh, I like this one I managed to snap in the summer(plus he's not pulling a daft face so double bonus!)

the song for the challenge was Keep the Faith by Bon Jovi. The title is a bit of a sarcastic one as anyone who knows Josh will know he is anything but wayward lol

No pp used just some chip chatter alphas and some mesh as a mask and paint

The gears are a sizzix die

The best present

Decided to use some of my bargain SU papers (sweet pea) to create a christmas LO using non christmasy papers. Love the bauble punch that I borrowed from a friend (I shall have to get one of my own now lol)

I followed a couple of challenges for this LO and decided it was about time I used some of my many stamps on a LO the swirls were Autumn Leaves and the title was papermania, I got all misty and flicky and I hope you like the result!

These are the challenges I used

Color combos galore

Lets get shabby challenge

Loved the inspiration from the DT over on the let's get shabby blog so decided to play along
Have recently got my new printer up and running so decided to scan in some of my older pics that I dont have copies of. I found this one of Josh in the bath when he was about 8 - 12 months old and loved how it looked printed in black & white
The challenge was to use 3 things from your sewing box 1 of them being pins. I used
2 decorative pins
3 safety pins
a white popper type thing that was in a sewing kit I have
a cross stitch floss bobbin
jeans pocket
the beaded starfish was off of an old broken hairgrip
and a couple of pieces of cotton lace

"Happy tickets" from House of 3
grommets by WRMK
Vinyl thickers
alpha beads & ribbon from stash
I inked and distressed and misted all over
and stitched it all together on my sewing machine
Absolutely loved creating this and am very pleased with the result
Hope you like it too
