I scream, you scream ....

I couldn't resist doing a page for Off the Rails Scrapbooking this month which was focusing on food.

I used a section of the colours in the moodboard to create a page about birthday celebrations at my daughter's work - gelato instead of cake, what a great way to celebrate!

A little fruity ...

Playing along this month with Archi-scraps using their inspiration image and criteria of fruit.

I was inspired by the colours of orange, yellow and line green as well as the circles to create a page about one of the things I really like about cruising - the fruit based cocktails!  I also used some plastic fruit embellishments that worked perfectly for this page.

ARTastic September ...

It is Father's Day here in Australia tomorrow and as a tribute to the males in our lives our September inspiration on ARTastic comes to you from Robert Haganand is called The mentor.

CRITERIA - Let's celebrate the males in our lives

Beach scenes and seagulls always remind me of fish and chips at the beach.  I've used the same colours of variations of blue with sand and added a splash of red for the bucket.

Hope you can join in with us this month.

Sweet ...

I've enjoyed playing along with Scrap the Girls this month with this really striking mood board and lovely colour palette.

 

I focused on the colours, added in a bright stripey paper that gave the feel of the zebra pattern and focused on the image of the girl with downcast eyes.

CSI for August ...

Playing along with both challenges on CSI this month.

For #260 I have completed a cruise vacation page using the colour palette and taking a number of items from the evidence list - stripes, anchor, gold (spray), labels, transportation embellies, travel themed elements.

For #259 I ran with the colours to help inspire me to document a day trip for my dd and her bf.

Seriously wild ...

I truly wasn't sure what to do with the challenge on Scrap the Boys this month.  It really had me thinking.

Eventually I decided just to go with the basic colour scheme of teal and black (and threw in yellow and a brighter green as a bit of contrast) and went with the theme, selecting a photo of my son hamming it up at the Australian Museum and being seriously WILD :)

Going tribal ...

I am joining in with the challenge on Off the Rail Scrapbooking this month.  It is an unusual moodboard to say the least ...

and I wasn't at all sure how to run with this one until I focused on the top right photo which in some ways reminded me of many of the photos my daughter took when she visited Fiji for an end of school "make a difference" trip some years ago. 

I took the green from the background and went with a "going tribal" theme to match in with the obligatory braided and beaded hair ! 

This page is composed of project life cards - I have such a massive stash I just need to used them up in some way.

Winter by the Sea ...

I really liked the mood board on Off the rails Scrapbooking this month - so cool and crisp.

I live by the coast so no snow for me and the very few ski trip photos I have are long since scrapped so I decided to scrap about Winter by the Sea, added in some blue, used a kraft background as a nod to the colour in the owl image and added in lots of snowflakes.

Screen Time ...

I am playing along with Scrapbook Boutique and their mood board this month - so many ideas for this one.  I thought I might have had a little fox embellishment somewhere but after scouring my stash it was not to be - of course one will come to light the very next time I look - such is life!

Eventually I decided to focus on the keyboard and take some of the muted colours from the images.

Thanks for looking,

Love ...

I couldn't resist the birthday themed moodboard on Scrap the Girls this month.  I was particularly taken with the overall colour scheme of pink, yellow, grey, black and white along with the cake and scrapped a birthday page of my dd.

Cherish ...

Playing along with the mood board challenge from Off the Rails Scrapbooking this month.

I was inspired by the colours from these images - the orange, black, grey and touches of yellow.

Kraft + for May ...

Playing along with Kraft + this month with their "It's a date" challenge.

I tried to think of a date that really means something each year and of course as well as obligatory birthdays there is no greater date than the heralding in of a brand new year.
