The Climb

September challenge for Scrap the Girls

Well September challenge for this month is to scrap photo's action or sports so I did this photo's of my daughter Alannah at Sea World on holidays a couple of weeks ago at Castaway Bay on the Adventure climb, a multi level tower of beams and ropes and adventure course high and scary but she was not afraid and she loved it. I had to laugh because her older brother come down saying he had a sore foot, I think it was more him afraid of heights lol, so I used MMe On the Bright side for the background some Basic Grey papers, chipboard form Dusty Attic, Alpha's, Washi Tape and some embellies to finish off, hope you like thanks for looking cheers!

Quote Challenge

 SEPT QUOTE CHALLENGE SUYS
Well today I got back from a 2 week holiday in Queensland no internet for 2 weeks not by choice, and boy did I miss blog world now to get back into the swing of things and lots of creating with all my new pics yip pee!
Well we have a quote challenge happening over at SUYS www.showusyourstuff.blogspot.com.au

The world is filled with undiscovered wonders, Come little one, lets find the out together.

And here is my take on the Challenge I used some Bo-Bunny travel papers, some stenciling, lots of misting and textures and lots of embellies, my handmade item is a starfish cut from hesian with a star button. Well the photo was taken on Cable Beach at Broome pre-sunset with the camel rides in the background which we did do and so much fun, its like a carpark at peak hour all these four wheel drives pull up on the beach set up their table and chairs get out their beer's and wines to watch sunset and all the camel trains. My children had so many experiences discovering the wonders of our beautiful country on our trip around Australia with some really beautiful scenery to explore and wonderful experiences to cherish for a lifetime.

Precious Moments ( pets )

ANOTHER FREAKING SCRAPPY CHALLENGE

Thought I would give this challenge a go scrap about a pet, well I did this layout of my cat Casper and I taken on my wedding day well 12 years ago ,although I no longer have Casper he was my favourite pet a real sweety slept on my bed loved to sit beside you on the sofa always wanted to be where you are. But I had to give him away after the pit a patter of little feet came along as Dylan use to torment him and he would scratch, but I had Casper for many years a he was great company but he went to a good loving home where there was no children to torment him. So I used one of Kaisers old range of papers  for this one using up some oldies from my stash some Tim Holtz Distress Inks, some Prima flowers and some chippy bricks which I textured paste them and gave thim a spritz of some Glimmermists colours and a few other embellies too hope you like thanks for looking! cheers
