White with 1 Challenge!

Hi everyone I have just completed the challenge over at White With 1 blog. I haven't had a chance to complete one over there for a few months and have enjoyed the challenge, as I have started scrapping my holiday pics and thought what a great opportunity to tackle another LO for this album. 

The challenge this month is:

AUGUST CHALLENGE:

WHITE + MAPS + TRAVEL EMBELLISHMENTS

This is what I have created:

I loved creating the globe it was so much fun and to be able to mark the spot where we holidayed will be great to look back on.
Usually I create a double LO and I like to pop it on here for friends and family to see so here it is:

It has been great reminiscing about our holiday from last year and I wish I was back there in the heat and having drinks at happy hour by the pool.

Well that's it for today.

Scrapbooking Hut Challenge!

Hello everyone, me again! I have completed another challenge over at the Scrapbooking Hut's blog. I have been scrapping my holiday photo's from Thailand last year and thought this would be a great one to try. Here is the sketch:

This is what I have come up with:

The King's Naval Ship's are out at sea and guard the palace 24/7 even when the King  is not in residence. He is old and frail now and lives in hospital. We could see them quite well from our resort. As usual I usually create a double LO and like to put it up for my family and friends to see, here it is:

With this second page you can see the main entrance to the palace and also the ship in the background.

Well that is is for now. Until next time. Bye.

SFS Colour Challenge!

I have got around to attempting the colour challenge over at Scrapbooking From Scratch's colour challenge this month. The colour are:  

RED, YELLOW, BLUE and KRAFT/BROWN
Small amounts of black/white may also be used.

I have been trying to use up some of my older papers from my stash and came across this one and thought it would be perfect, so this is what I came up with:

 

It is a photo of my husband outside a shopping mall in Hua Hin Thailand. It was interesting to see as some of the mall was like stalls at a market and the more expensive shops were set out like a normal mall. It was fairly clean as it was reasonably newly built.
Here is a closeup of my cute embellishments, some I brought on a craft retreat.

I usually create a double LO as I work and I like to put it up to show my family and friends.

 This was our Took Took ride home.

That is it for now.

Bye.

Kerry.

SFS and Charms Creation challenge!

Hi everyone this month Charms Creation has combined her challenge with Scrapbooking From Scratch's challenge. It is a sketch this month and here it is:

 I am scrapping my holiday pics and here is what I have created for this one:

I have used a couple of different pens for my sun, which don't show up too well so in the end I have stitched with yellow floss. I love this blue cardstock with the pool photo. I have used a heart runner from Charm's Creation which is just so cute. Oh I wish I was back having cocktails by the pool and swimming in the heat.
I usually create a double LO as I go and like to show my family and friends and here it is:

That is it for now. 

Bye.

Scrapbook Kits With A Difference Challenge!

I have yet again completed a challenge over at Scrapbook Kits With A Difference this time it is Augusts sketch challenge and here is the sketch:

 What a lovely sketch. I have been scrapping my holiday photo's so When I saw this and came across this paper I knew I could incorporate them together. This is what I came up with:

I have also cut out extra hibiscus's's and popped them on. Well weren't they fun trying to get them glued on back in the right order, but well worth it. Here is a close up:

I usually create a double LO as I'm going and I like to put it up to show family and friends, so here it is:

Oh how I wish I was back there in the sunshine. Now back to reality. 

That is it for now.

Kraft It Up Challenge.

I haven't been able to do a Kraft It Up Challenge for a couple of months so I was thrilled to give it a go this month. This is what was required:
 

AUGUST CHALLENGE...

This month your challenge is to create a layout that is based on this sketch and using LAYERS, we want lots of different dimensions to your layout, think texture!!!

What a great sketch. I started this while on a scrap retreat and then added more when I came home. Here is what I came up with:

 A little closeup:

I have embossed a pattern in the background and applied 2 different colours when it dried you couldn't see it well enough so I applied some ink { I don't think it photographs as well } I have also made my flags from washi tape. One I have made from plain old masking tape and I have stamped on it as I didn't have the right colour. It worked well I think.

I usually create a double LO as I go and like to pop it up for my family and friends to see, so here it is:

That is it for now.

Bye.

Purple Pumpkins Challenge!

Hi everyone me back again with another entry into this months challenge.
This month is a little different here is what is required:

Instead of our usual sketch challenge, this month we have a Recipe Challenge to inspire you with. We want to see the following ingredients somewhere on your page...

1. Paint
2. Use a Button
3. Add some twine
4. Include some fussy cutting
5. Spray ink
6. A flower
7. A doily
8. Use two different alphas for your title

 This was a fair bit to squeeze into a LO but I love the finished result and here it is:

I just kept adding and adding until I finalised on the end result. Here is a closeup of the great P.P. chenille button, ticket and doily, I also printed the cameras and tickets and cut them out.

I usually create a double LO as I go and like to put this up too for family and friends to see. Here it is:

That is it for now. 

Until next time, bye.

Scrapbook Kits With A Difference Challenge.

Well I have been on Scraphappy Kat's Retreat and had a ball. So now to start loading some of my LO's I have done while away.
First off is my LO for Scrapbook Kits With A Difference  this is for the August inspirational challenge, which is:

August Inspiration Challenge (picture found on Pinterest). 

Don't forget, the Inspiration Challenge isn't just about the colours - you may find yourself inspired by the image design, pictures or themes.

This is just beautiful. I have started scrapping our Thailand photo's and I decided to scrap the wedding we attended over there and here is my LO:

I have had this photo frame paper for years and have never know what to do with it. Inside the frame was a yukky mustard colour so I replaced it with the pink and masked around the edge of it first. I really love how the LO has turned out.
I usually create a double LO and here it is:

My title is also white Thickers which I have sanded back and then inked, they turned out great too. 

That is it for this one.

Bye Kerry.
