Scrap Therapy Sketch November

For a non sketch girl I have done quite a few lately. The latest sketch from Scrap Therapy was quite inspiring so I thought I would use a couple of photos from the Eisteddfod to finish the sketch and for a lo completed on a Sunday night it did not turn out too badly...

November Competition - Scrapbooking Premiere

I did not really know if I was going to take up this months challenge as the criteria seemed a little bit out there however I came up with lo using the 5 elements required:

1. Theme/Title - Water


2. Technique - Stamping with bubble wrap or use bubble wrap (I did both)


3. Product - use some form of mesh on the page


4. Colour - must have orange on the page


5. Misc - Use at least 5 different alphas in your title!

I will have trouble with my sail boarders when I put this in the album as they are standing up with the aid of the mesh and some 3D mounting tape, however I will work that out later.

Nothing like......

a good sketch to get the juices flowing. The November sketch challenge at http://www.scrapbookingpremiere.com.au/ is wonderful. In fact someone there must have known my doom and gloom when it comes to scrapbooking at the moment. I was able to use 4 eisteddfod studio shots on this lo, and also some beautiful crystals and sparkling embossing powder. I wanted to stay with the black and white colour scheme as the kids costumes made it difficult to get a suitable colour scheme. Thanks to Sandra and her team I think the mojo might be finding its way home!!!

Missing mojo....

I think I need to do a wanted poster for my mojo. I did this lo Tuesday, however had no enthusiasm, no mojo, no nothing. I think it is probably the time of year and I should just forget about scrapping until everything settles, however that will be January, and I don't think I can wait that long.....I love the photos of the girls and their tap costume was brilliant. At least Dana has the moment recorded even if it is not as elaborate as her mother would like!

Some days...

you would rather have not got out of bed at all, but you know it is necessary so you do it!!Today was one of those, however it is now nearly 6.00 p.m. and I have survived so all I can say is roll on tomorrow and see if it is better....LOL just had to get that off my chest. Hopefully a glass of wine awaits!!

Champions

This lo is from a kit from Tarisota; sometimes when you want to scrap but you don't want to think it is easier to use a kit and come out with a nice lo and no stress. I love the purple flowers. Tamar did not have a title on her lo but I used the purple as inspiration and added a title. I included on the back of the lo for future reference all the kids names, as in 10 years time I will not have a clue!!

Let's Get Shabby No.5

Homemade embellishments are a little bit tricky but seeing as the eisteddfod has just finished and I have copious photographs, both professional and amateur, why not build a stage. I used Bazzill black card stock and Pink Paislee "fetching" paper and Carole Lee Adorn It letters, and that's were the bought stuff ended. A little left over chocolate velveteen (from a monkey costume) for the stage curtains, a liitle lace for the curtain topper, some sequins both single and strung, some microsoft clip art for the stage lighting and a little ink. Voila, hand made embellishment, (a little larger than a normal embellishment), and a lo: "LIFE UPON THE WICKED STAGE!"
