“A Day Without Thinking!”

Tags

doily, embossing, scraps

I know that is a strange title for a layout, but as I am such a thinker and stresser I thought it was appropriate!!  The boys took this pic of me and for a change I look pretty ‘stress-free’! lol

I created this for Joy’s #2 Challenge at H & S! Use no pp on your layout!  I did some misting and stamping, embossing, and used some dies to make some embellies!! All Stampin’ Up! except the emboss folders!!

Another card using my scraps!!!

I embossed the background, stamped the doily and made the flowers!!

old photos, parents without partners

The girls are firing up over at Home and Scraped this weekend with the CC on and the challenges are awesome!

Heather posted a step by step to follow to create a layout and this is what I came up with!

These photos are from a long time ago and being old photos I wasn’t sure how to scrap them!! The colors aren’t too wonderful but I so wanted to scrap them! Mum didn’t take a lot of pics of us when we were younger but the ones I have I treasure!

I remember Alison sitting at the foreshore at Port Campbell in 1972 when mum took this pic! This was just before mum and dad got married! It was a Parents Without Partners picnic and it was such a fun day! Not the warmest but a great day of memories!!

The other photo mum took of us in front of the lemon tree in the back yard and that tree is still there!! We had our whole lives in front of us in 1977!  If I could go back to that day, oh the changes I would make!!!

I have used all the new DSP and stamps from the Sale A Bration catty that is on atm! They are just beautiful!!

I made this card from the scraps left over and it can be for any occasion!

“Heather’s Feb Sketch!”

Tags

punches, stampin up

I have had a great time this weekend having my own little scrap-a-thon! lol! The boys have been amusing themselves and it has been pretty warm and noisy neighbours, so not much sleep last nite, so what else would I do but scrap!!

I used Heather’s Feb Sketch Challenge at Challenge Heaven to create this 8×8 layout of my lovely mum. I wanted to document mum having to give up her licence due to her health and making it positive for her!! She is a lot better about it now as she has had time to get used to it!! I know he misses the freedom of being able to jump in the car and be independent!

I have used all Stampin’ Up! products on this layout except for the paper doily and the vellum word! I love the Beau Chateau range of papers and I wanted this layout to be soft and feminine!

I made the flowers using the Five Petal and Triple Layer Doily Punches.
