Awesome Day

'Awesome Day' was inspired by the challenge over at Deer and Fawn this month!

The challenge is monocromatic using orange, black/and or white!! 

How very awesome right??

Here is my interpretation.....

I love the colour Orange and I quite enjoy pairing it up with black, so this time I thought I would try on a white background! I couldn't resist using my paint swirls on it just to break up the white a little, lol!! 

It was heaps of fun! 

There is still time left, why not be inspired by the sun and brighten up your desk with a spot of orange! 

Have a scraptastic day,

Stay Cool

It's September!!!! This year is flying, but it means new inspiration......

Over at K+this month they have an awesome sketch by Em Stafrace!!! I love her sketches, and was privileged to be a guest designer for her a couple of years ago, love your work Em!!! Here is the challenge....

And here is my take on it....

Had fun with this one!! I loved the fun my hubby had dressing up for a 50s party a few months ago, and thought he was a little bit 'Fonzy'!! 'AAAAY!!! Lol! 

Anyway it was cool to try and make it a little retro.

The months not over yet, why not see what you can do with Em's sketch over at K+ now. 

Catch you on the scrap side :)

In love with u

I love a Dlish mood board, and I love creating with the monthly kit release as well! It is instant inspo!! Check it out.....

Now I have come to realize I've stretched the rules a little with the colour tones esp with the grey looking more like black on mine (insert wrong background paper choice here)...whoops...(but it's a funky background paper, so it's ok isn't it :)???)

We had a blast in Melbourne my hubby and I for our anniversary recently,  and thought this kit was perfect for this pic we took at our hotel.

 Such a cute kit! 

I added just a few of my own elements to complement the already fantastic ones. 

I had a bit of fun remincing when creating this.

Really enjoyed putting this LO together. 

Till next time, Em. Xx

P.s I really am sorry for not reading the rules properly. :/

Captured this

I haven't had the chance to participate in one of  Sassy Scrappers mood board in awhile so I thought this month might be a good chance to have a play. Here is the inspo....

And it just so happened I play with all these elements or 'ingredients' a lot!! (Hehehe) 

Here is my LO of Asha walking his best mate Zen on the weekend! I love their friendship, nothing better then an animal friend! 

In this LO I enjoyed using a new stencil and making the washi banner (it's been awhile since I made one of these too). 

Hope you get a chance to get some inspiration over on the Sassy blog also. 

Catch us soon, Em. Xx 

Us

Yay!!! Another monthly challenge complete!! Over at Scrap the boys this time! I loved this one as I love the colour inspo and that I'm a mum!! Here is the inspo......

Great hey!!!! 

And here is my LO of my 'baby' boy and me.....

I wanted to keep it more 'raw' with my elements in this one so I opted to not use any mixed media and let the papers shine. 

I also love this new PinkFresh studio stamp and couldn't wait to use it....

Cute ain't it! 

Hope u likely. 

Till next creative moment, Em!! Xx

Enough

I just get so excited when a new month starts, why u ask? Because all new challenges begin!!!! Such as this amazing one from the amazing Kraft+ team!

Check it out.....

Amazing right? 

So exciting too!! 

I have tried to embrace this art of doodling a few times and I find it rather relaxing (hence the zentangle expression)

Here is what I came up with......

I had a lot  of fun, I also used Pinterest and the DT for inspiration! I'm in love with all things feathered big time at the moment, so I had to do a bird.....

And I also doodled on my feathers....

Had a blast! Hope you like it too. 

And I hope you have a go at this fun and exciting challenge! 

Catch ya soon, Em. Xxx

Superstar - Dlish monthly kit

I just LOVE the monthly JAP kits over at D-lish  scraps!!! They are full of inspiration!!!

Here is a little of the inspo......

And here is what I created with the kit....

It was super cool having a 'boy' inspired kit! It meant it didn't have to stretch the ideas too far (although making it interesting and techniquey, yep I just said that word, is always a stretch of the mind). Had an absolute blast with this kit! 

Can't wait to see what next months is!!!

Scrap ya later, Em. Xxx
