March Challenge


Scrapbooking Premiere's March challenge has been posted and this is my lo for it. There were 15 required elements in this lo and all a little different from each other so finding a suitable photo became the greater challenge. Kendall took this photo on our back deck. The butterflies are quite prolific here at the moment and he was able to get quite close and use the zoom on the camera as well. (I think I may have a photographer in the making) All in all the lo did not turn out to badly considering I would not put some of the elements together in a "Rhonda" lo.

It is always good to move from your comfort zone every now and then. Busy weekend ahead and hopefully no rain....

30 minutes and it's done


Even though the photo not crash hot..taken tonight on my desk instead of waiting until tomorrow in the light. Could not believe I could get a lo done in such a short time. Had the idea in my head and went for it. This will be the 3rd lo for Scrapbooking Premiere and it was made using left overs and a few items from my stash. The Heidi Swapp letters were metallic pink and really not the right colour so I dabbed some ink on them using a cotton tip and voila instant match. I still would like to do and off the page for Sandra but my brain is fading...maybe tomorrow.

2nd Guest Artist Lo


for Scrapbooking Premiere....I love 3D work and the die cuts Sandra supplied form mylittleshoebox.com were great. I love the way you can alter things just by cutting out elements and using them in your ownway. Thinking outside the box doesn't always come easily but once you start the process it just seems to progress.

Surprises




Was just clearing my SD card on my camera when I cam across these great butterfly shots. I think Kendall must have taken them on Sunday. I am definitely going to scrap these little beauties. For and 8 yr old he is getting a keen eye.

Surprises.

Guest Designer


Guess who is this month's guest designer for Scrapbooking Premiere. Can you believe it. I have uploaded two los already but am looking to do an otp item as well. Sandra supplied some really great papers from my littleshoebox.com. Very feminine but still able to be used with a male perspective. The above is one of the los. I used cardstock as the base and used pieces from the patterned paper to decorate the page. The flowers were not the right colour for the lo so I inked them to suit. The butterfly is stamped on to transparency with stazon ink and then a few lines highlighted with gel pens.

Finally another layout...




Love these photos of Dana at the Brock Experience. This pink Torana was just what the doctor ordered in a male dominated car world. The men are going down to the Brock Experience on the weekend to see the cars being started up and some racing car drivers visiting. Life seems to be so busy so it's best just to take one day at a time. Enjoy!!!
