My Creative Slice/Scrapbook Fantasies October Page Sketch Challenge.

Alicia's October Sketch challenge was the basis for my 2007 page, of Lily with Santa.  Instead of journalling, which I always do, I elected to use the Kaisercraft die cut which reads " Christmas, my child, is love in action.  Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.  Dale Evans Roger." I love how the flowers match Lily's dress perfectly. http://www.aliciaredshaw.com.au/2010/10/01/october-2010-layout-sketch-challenge/          smiles

Get Picky October Challenge

Get Picky are a new challenge blog and their first challenge was a page using this sketch.  This is Jasmine just before her second Christmas being such a cheeky little Christmas elf! My favourite part of my layout is the little gold droplets behind the gift box on the right hand side.  smiles and thanks for looking!

Kraft it up challenge October

Kraft it up suggests to create a layout using this sketch as your inspiration, your only requirement is to use KRAFT of course LOL, feel free to flip/rotate and make sure you have fun, everything else is totally up to you!!! 

 

I found these rather sweet photos of Jasmine on her second birthday...she is now 16!  I got to use my glimmermisted paper from another challenge, and some gorgeous ribbons.  thanks for looking.  smiles

Scrap the boys October challenge

Trick or treat is the challenge at scrap the boys: TRICK -They all have one…you know that trick they play on you whether it be copying everything you say or shadowing you so you don’t know where they are.
Or/
TREAT – scrap about your boy’s favourite thing …that one thing you know he will consider a huge treat.

As soon as I saw the challenge, I knew it had to be about Hayden and snake lollies.  He loves the Natural Confectionery snakes. ( I love the yellow ones particularly). 
I glimmermisted some white cardstock, which looks a little like snake skin.  He was in his PJs ( where little four year old boys love to be) and I copied the Wanted word from his PJ top into my title. 
thanks for looking.  smiles.

from Scrap the girls October challenge

Scrap the girls' blog suggests to take inspiration from the following Shakespeare quote…..
"What's in a name? That which we call a rose. By any other name would smell as sweet."
and….
**Extra criteria - flowers & buttons**

When there are three girls in our household with flower names, it was hard to choose one!  Jasmine's shirt colours matched so well with the papers in the Melissa Frances range so kindly given to me by Susan Longman.  I fussy cut and inked some papers and used some gorgeous doilies and handmade flower too.  My border is the quote suggested by Scrap the girls in a soft green ink.  thanks for looking.  smiles!
