You know they are a scrapper's kittens when....

Can you live with yet a kitten layout?
Good, I thought so :-)


Here they are, and as goodd scrapper's kittens, they are self sorting by color!

A scraplift challenge at Paper Issues inspired me to do this layout. All the bits and pieces was perfect for using scraps from my scrap pile, and I thought using rainbow colors would emphasize the theme.

So there are papers from lots of differents manufactorers here - none mentioned, none forgotten :-)

Here is the layout I lifted:

Dude - the Portrait of a 12YO

Hi.

As I told in my Monday post, we had a professional photo shoot while cruising last fall. Here is the portrait of my 12 year old (you find the portrait of the 15 year old here):

Papers: Echo Park (b/w background, LYB (blue), Pretty Little Studio (green/brown). Fabric Star: Charms Creations. Alpha: Basic Grey. Chipboard: LYB. Buttons & washi: unknown. Dymo: Dymo

Close ups:

 I cannot recall the last time I used scraped edges on a layout :-)
Or my Dymo :-)

I found inspiration to this layout in the January Sketch at My Creative Sketches:

Tell me - have you used scraped edges or dymo lately?

Daily routines - here are some of mine!

Hey, everyone!  What does your normal day look like?  Today's challenge at The Studio Challenges is all about scrapping your daily routine.  Your daily routine may not seem exciting or scrap-worthy, but we have a feeling that you'll appreciate the fact that you scrapped the "little moments" in a few years...


My morning routine: get out of bed, put the kettle on, take the dog out while I walk to pick up the news paper. News on digital medias is not the same as a real piece of paper!

Background paper: SEI. Other patterned papers: Lemon Owl. "Love This" card: Jillibean Soup. Metal clips: Freckled Fawn
Felt/fabric shapes: Charms Creations. Shaped cuts: unknown. Pearls: Scrappers Choice

 Details:

Please head over to The Studio Challenges Blog to see the rest of the DT reveal and to play along.  Please link up your entries by 7th December.

We now have a Facebook group for fans of The Studio to chat in, please come by and join in with the chat, we would love to see you there. 

Every photo has a story to tell (The Studio Challenges)

Hi!

This month we have this fun tic tac toe challenge for you at The Studio Challenges:

I picked one of the diagonals: Hot pink, chipboard and three kinds of alphas:

Background paper: Studio Calico. Other papers: MME, Lemon Owl. Amy Tangerine. Overlay: Fancy Pants. Chipboard: Memory Maze, Imaginarium Designs. Fabric "badge" Charms Creations. Alphas: Fancy Pants, Basic Grey, Echo park

Every photo has a story to tell - but it might not be the obvious one. I bet you are sure the journaling is about our kitten riding with my son, but it's not *lol*. Title/journaling says: " Every picture has a story to tell - like that 2014 was the year M decided he no longer would wear regular t-shirts, shirts with collars only, and that Polo Ralph Lauren was the only desent brand". He has become such a snob - sigh.

My Guilty Pleasure - OUAS June challenge

The start of a new month means a new challenge and sketch at Once Upon A Sketch (OUAS):

June Theme: What's your guilty pleasure?

Oh yes! We all get some sort of pleasure from something we really shouldn't. What's yours? 

Ideas for journalling: scrapping, time alone, food, going to a concert, a T.V show, time in the garden, playing , Facebook, your iphone, shopping, bags, shoes, computer time, designing, creating etc etc

Your layout must incorporate this theme and the sketch below.

Please make sure that we see some sort of journalling on your layouts and please tell us where your journalling is .You are allowed to journal in any language but please tell us where on your page we will find your journalling. Remember journalling has to be a bit more than a title, or a generic comment. Hidden journalling is perfectly fine.

And here is my guilty pleasure:

 

 

Patterned Papers: Studio Calico (Blue), Søstrene Grene (With berries). Washi: Teresa Collins. Fabric page runners: Charms Creations. Alpha: Basic Grey. Tabs and bottle caps: authenitic :-)
 

 Journaling says: There is nothing as good as an ice Cold Pepsi Max if you are thirsty, tired, have a hang over or just want something.
