Sketch Challenge - Scrap Therapy

Just loved the March Sketch in the challenges from Scrap Therapy this month. Gave us the opportunity to delve into the scraps box and use up some left overs, (a bit like Sunday night tea really!). A really did not make a dent in the scraps but it was nice to try...I have used a lot of mechanical aids for the lo. The cuttlebug, cricut and sizzix all feature to make this lo about the pulley systems at the Science Centre at Qld Museum.

Kraft it Up March Challenge.

Kraft it up's challenge criteria for March was quite simple; kraft product and mixed alphas.

The photo of Kendall was taken at Movie World, so I decided to go a bit silly and base my lo on Batman. Na na na na na na na na .....BATMAN!!! I cut out a rectangle and put the photo in behind on the graph section of the KRAFT Graph star and then using Microsoft clip art of a bat used a transparency over the top. I traced the outline of the bat underneath and coloured it in as a shadow under to transparency. Then it was into my letter and found whatever I had to make up the words. Rather than leave the star by itself, I mounted in on Bazill C/s and used the Words from Batman's fights on the border. A little bit of silliness for Kendall's album!!

Shabby Challenge....

A very interesting challenge this month, using 5 different flowers, in a garden like theme along with a quote from Alice in Wonderland. My quote is from the king about going as far as you can, and I think it is great advice for kids. The photo was a self portrait Dana and I took just mucking around really. I have used heaps of different flowers from Prima, Kaiser, Bumble Bee Crafts, hand crocheted ones, bead flowers and button flowers. A great big chipboard swirl holds them all together as well as beautiful Prima leaves. A little lace and some beads on Basic Grey lemonade flower garden background paper. The birds are also chipboard. A little alcohol ink gives the quote a distressed look backed up by the distressed edge of the lo.
