Two Pages For Me

I'm really enjoying the Scrapbook Sisters Deco Page swap. I have made a couple more pages but cannot show them here yet until my swap partners have received them.

Here are two pages that I have received, the first is from Bev W

...and the second is from Julie Blakeman (Starflower).

 

In case you hadn't guessed the link my theme is birds. Thank you ladies I think they are both brilliant.

The Next Level - Challenge 6

At The Next Level this week the challenge is to use buttons and bows  so having added 4 buttons and 2 ribbons I think that I have fulfilled the criteria.

I've used Basic Grey Lime Rickey, one of my lovely Gorguss Girls and a borrowed Martha Stewart punch (thanks Karen!)

Mojo Monday - week 94

Here is my latest card for the Mojo Monday Challenge. Here's the sketch for this week;

I've had a Basic Grey theme going on this week and I have used the Phoebe papers for this one. I find that the 6x6 pads are ideal for cardmaking and I seem to have a growing collection. I've used one of my lovely Gorjuss Girl stamps and the card is finished off with ribbon from my stash, Prima flowers and a button.

Carefree.

I've had these Cloud 9 Designs - Max's Backyard papers for a while - I bought them as soon as they came into Scrapbook Sisters as I thought they would make great papers for layouts of Matthew but when I found these old pictures of Holly they just seemed to fit. We were on holiday in North Yorkshire the summer before Holly started infant school and while we were out one day we stopped at a village with a stream running though it. As it was a hot day we let the children paddle and cool down.

Apart from the square epoxy sticker in the corner all the embellishments are made from the papers and some Glossy Accents.

Two Challenges in One Post.......

This week has run away with me and I have only just finished my cards for both The next Level and Mojo Monday.

 

Here is this weeks sketch for the next level.......

and here is my card.......

I used Basic Grey Lime Rickey papers, Prima flowers, button and ribbon from my stash and a hand stamped image from one of my lovely friends.

 

The challenge for Mojo Monday this week is also a sketch........

and here is my card,,,,,,,,,,

Again I used Lime Rickey papers, cut the scalloped border with my Woodware paper trimmer and used paper punches for the  circle, scallop circle and the three tiny black flowers.

Hope you like them.

Here's a layout.....

Here's a layout that I finished recently using the Cosmo Cricket Snorkel papers. I love the way Cosmo Cricket are incorporating pages of elements and borders in their ranges. The photo is of Martin and Matt back in 1993 in a secluded little beach on the Isle of Man.

Mojo Monday - Week 92

Here's my card for this weeks Mojo Monday challenge. I've used one of my favourite stamps, the birdhouse stamp from Magenta and also the bird stamp from Home and Heart.

I used both sides of a double sided paper but it was from my scrap drawer so there was no name on it. The ribbon was from my stash and the flowers are Prima. I coloured the images with my lovely Derwent watercolour pencils and the scalloped border was hand drawn and cut. I hope you like it.
