Feb Nook kit

This months kit was full of Websters pages pp, now these papers quite flumox me and I decided to try a lift from one of my fave gals Fi
This is the LO I was lifting ( I say was as it doesnt really look anything like it) I am pleased with the end result tho I dont think it is going to become a top fave manufacturer for me
Here is my LO using the Hollywood Vogue range
the alphas are both cosmo cricket and some liquid pearls (now made quite easy with beks flicking technique!)
Would appreciate some feedback

Kraft it up Feb challenge

Played along at Kraft it up again this month. This time it was a colour challenge to use orange black and blue
Here is what I created
I started by using a honeycomb mask and a couple of different mists (also had to flick a bit of white paint around to lift it slightly)I used Stamping up pp & a small strip of October afternoon lots of brads and thickers The flower was made using this tutorial over at Ideas for Scrapbookers if you have never seen this blog head over and have a look they have some really great tutorials and ideas, I use it quite a lot
The pic is an old one of me with my previous 2 dogs Bonnie the Golden Retriever and Whiskey a small x breed that I inherited from my grandparents when they died & I just have to say what on earth posessed me to wear ORANGE! lol

Another challenge site I found

My mojo was a bit low so off a hunting I went
Found an aussie site called Scrapjacked and found some great inspiration there
I 'jacked' (hmm not sure if thats a good term for it lol) THIS LO by Christine
I used pebbles pp and a couple of AC bits too the letter stickers are from my nook kit this month
I loved the wobbly scallop border at the bottom and just had to include that in my lift

Jan Nook kit

This month the kit featured Fancy pants "Hot Chocolate" pp and it rather yummy
This is my first LO using the kit and this month there were 2 die cut papers, which |I usually place to one side and think I will use that for a special pic, but I decided to be daring in my new regime and used it right away (doen't mean to say that this pic of Rodders in the snow isn't special)
I used a Martha Stewart punch for the snowflakes and some button centers with twine knots. I misted the snowflakes behind the punched ones(don't know if you can see that) and some flicking of the mists too
Hope you like

Chicken Soup blog challenge

A great challenge blog I've not come across before Chicken Soup (what a great name lol)
The challenge this month was butterflies
and here my simple LO (with an actual pic of ME on it!)
got all frisky with the misting on this one I drew the little house myself and cut out, the heart was from a pack of chip stickers and I found it attached to something else when I was clearing up Voila it didnt go to waste lol
Thickers & a dab of Echo Park and I was done.

CCG 176

The palette this week is a combo of my fave colours and these BG Granola papers are some of my faves too, I have used them quite a lot which is unusual for me.
The prompt was to use clouds but I think these pics represent them as in our heads are in the clouds! (made sense in my head lol)
Here is the LO

and here was the inspiration board

Kraft it up challenge

The challenge this month was to use a 'summer' word in your title and a summer pic
Hence the "Hot Dood" title and the pic of Rodney panting last summer.
I used AC pp & thickers, my new EK Success pawprint border punch. I made a little ribbon flower with a button center and a few other bits from my stash
