SBT50 Monopoly Go Challenge

THE GOODO BIKE

First round of exciting challenge over at Scrapbooking Top 50. The criteria for each player varies, depending on what number between 1-5 you selected. All I can say is I had to use a particular word and object somewhere on the LO. This is the page I entered.


The photo(s) for the double page are from long ago when dragster bikes were 'the "in thing " and most houses only had one tv and it was black and white. How times have changed. Because the story is about a bike that I won by cutting out jigsaw pieces and re-assembling, I painted blank puzzle pieces, and then journaled on them.
 Close up (above) shows the paper flowers with died hemp twine carefully coiled to form centre of flower, and some #7 cards I stamped, inked and tucked in. Below is peak of  the other side of layout. More journaling, flowers, washi and a cute stamped and fussy cut penny farthing,  (thinking of re-naming fussy cut to crazy cut)


123 Challenge September

SWEET

123 Challenge for September
 This is my GD who was reluctant to wash off the face paint from a birthday party, so I snapped some pics and convinced her it was time for a bath. The layout was actually started a while ago but shelved (and a little lost),  So much happier with the changes I made -  especially the bouquet of tiny roses, and the fabric daisies on the shirt.

S.W.A.T. September Challenge

YOU & ME

 This is the September sketch with the ' Twist ' to  heat or dry embossing. Below is my take on the sketch with dry embossing (using music folder and cuttlebug ) underneath the title.
Lots of stitching and distressed edges, some restrained bling and a few 3d butterflies.
Great photos of my Son and precious GD too, can almost hear the giggles :-)

SUYS and SWAT Challenge

This is the shared sketch for Show Us Your Stuff and Scrap With A Twist.
I turned the sketch on its side. Using papers from Carta Bella's Paris Girl range I scrapped this cute photo of sweet Chelsea having a bath.
There was lots of fussy cutting, tiny paper roses from d-lish scraps. For the challenge I also needed to add handmade embellie and safety pin. Here is a close-up.
