Reach for the Stars

AUGUST CHALLENGE FOR SCRAP THE GIRLS

Well trying to get a few challenges in before I go away to sunny Queensland for two weeks holiday. Over at scrap the girls this month is to use stars on your layout, I used some of my A Piece of Cake designs kit from June as I am a little behind in using some of them, I also used a few other items from my stash. My daughter Alannah went for a day trip to the Eureka Skydeck it was a birthday present from her Uncle Pete a day out with him in Melbourne the Aquaruim and so on, So they did the walk out onto the glass and nothing below she loved it such a thrill seeker and got some happy snaps of the occasion so thought it was a good one to use for this challenge high in the sky! cheers

Autumn Time

August sketch for OAUS

Well sketch challenge over at once apon a sketch for August is your favourite season although I love summer I would have to say Autumn as well. I love how the leaves all fall from the tree's and the pretty colours as they change and fall, I love to see them bare and how they re- shoot and start to bloom again for spring. So my lo I used one of Basic Grey Curio range of papers I did a bit of masking and misting used a bare chippy tree and added some leaves and flower embellies. I took a photo of Holly in Melbourne in Autumn when all the leaves were falling from the trees, she had so much fun putting these big leaves into piles and throwing them in the air. She also wanted to bring a pile of leaves home so she could paint them as well so I guess kids get to have a bit of fun with Autumn leaves as well hop you like thanks for looking cheers!

JULY 1ST STUCK SKETCH

Well just got in time for another July sketch seeing its a wet day here and kiddys are settled watching movies. I really loved this sketch for the 1st and had some fun with some new crafters worshop stencils I have just bought. So I misted the background lightly used the starburst stencil from crafters worshop and cut out some circles on the cricket did a bit of stamping as well. I used some of robot paper from Kaiser for this challenge some buttons and twine and to finish some ink splats and of course the photo's of Dylan with his cheeky grin thanks for looking.
