A second She Art

Here's my second She Art canvas.

Christy Tomlinson is such a great teacher

i've watched most of the videos in the workshop now,

glad i get access to them for 3 months because i definitely want to

watch them all again.

so many different, wonderful techniques to learn about.

My daughter Maggie has been taking a lot

of interest in the She art (she likes watching the videos) and asked if

she could also do one.

So over Easter I finished my second canvas.

Here it is!

and Maggie did her first canvas!

I cut out the body pieces and showed her how to do each step and the rest was

up to her. she even made up here own phrase "She was Beautiful!" hehe!

The Scrappiest and Stuck Sketches

 the Scrappiest Sketch number 114

I did this LO a couple of weeks ago now.

It's based on this sketch, i used crate papers.

This second LO was also done a earlier this month and it's for Stuck sketches

i used this embroidered flower i've had in my stash for a while,

something my mum picked up and thought i could use, thanks Mum!

and the papers are pink paisley ink resist, i misted with a mix of

different coloured mists. Also some websters papers in there.

Stuck 1st sketch

and lastly this is a LO i did for scrapbudz boutique...but ahem i was i little too slow uploading it and missed the deadline, whoops!! Using some Echo Park-for the record range, love the scrabble type alphas in that range.

ok that's it for now.

cheers. x

I've been taking part in Christy Tomlinson's

She Art Workshop. My goodness what a talented

lady she is, and so much fun to learn from. 

It's so much fun leaning new techniques!

Learning how to create something completely

different to my usual scrapbooking, as much as I love it.

I'm just learning to love something new and fun and funky!

This is the first canvas i completed a week ago.

and i have my second canvas finished aswell, just waiting for the

last coat of ModPodge to dry.

MME blog Challenge #22

Whoops i nearly forgot to post this Layout i did last weekend!!!

This Challenge is based on the sketch below using MME products.

Well i went through my stash and didn't realise just how much MME

stuff i had and i'm not usually one to mix collections

but i'm pretty happy with how easily these

different papers came together.

I used papers from the Breaking Free, Quite Contrary, Fine and Dandy & So Sophie ranges.

Along with the sketch the added theme was 'April Showers'.

I used some pictures of my DD with her little umbrella or Brolly

as we call it. Any chance she gets, the slightest hint of rain

and out comes the Brolly. She twirls and swings it about

having a just the most fun!

                                             

Happy Easter!

Inspiration was a painting 'Autumn Wonder' by Debbie Adams

with some extra criteria

1. Cloud/s = 1pts

2. Tree/s = 2 pts

3. Autumn/Fall colors (Browns, reds, oranges) = 3 pts

And this is the april sketch challenge from

Happy Easter to all!

Screen to scrap & 123

Screen to Scrap is a challenge blog that i've never tried ...

until now!!!

 Aprils inspiration is this movie poster

with 3 extra criteria

For an extra 6 bonus points :)
1) A 'Rain' related title = 1 pt

2) An umbrella/s = 2 pt
3) Lets do it in 3's (3 pics, 3 embellies, 3 pp's etc...) = 3 pts

Here's my take on the challenge

*Lime green

*the word 'really'

and *fabric

i used calico as my fabric that i misted with a mix of blue and yellow mist to come up with

a splotchy lime green colour.

Then i hand stitched it with running stitch to make a border.

Cheers Leonie. x

out of the hat & sketchy Thurs

Hi folks,

I went away this past weekend with 10 other lovely ladies we had the most fantastic time.

scrapping away the days and nights in Port Fairy.

the accommodation was amazing!

I travelled down there with 2 gorgeous chickies Raquel and Marelle (thanks girls), and it was great to

meet some new scrappy friends in real life. So many laughs, it was just the best time!

these are 2 of the Layouts i did on the weekend.

this first is for out of the hat challenge blog

using handmade flowers, 3 different stamps, and kindy glitz

And this second layout is for sketchy thursday.

This is for their May Guest DT challenge, loved this sketch!

Very funky! 

i used glimmermists for my splatters and the papers are crate paper

'neighborhood' collection

thanks Ebony for organising such a fun weekend!

Cheers, Leonie.

Once Upon a Sketch-April

Hi, Once upon a Sketch is a new challenge blog with the emphasis

being on journalling. So for this challenge there was to be no less than 25 words in your journalling.

I think i got the 25words thing ok!!! I journalled all the way

around the stitched cardstock and it's all about how the kids

have this insane desire to put bunny ears

behind one anothers heads everytime i get the camera

out!  Drives me bonkers!!

But i did find it rather cute when Maggie did it

to herself and her baby doll!!!

and this is the sketch used.



ok that's it for now and next week i'm hoping to have a

whole weekends worth of creating to share.

I'm spending the weekend scrapping

with a small group of ladies.

So i better get packing!

Cheers!

Get Picky inspiration

I think I'm getting low on the Emma's Shoppe by Crate Paper :(

What a gorgeous range it's been. I've really

enjoyed creating with it!

This is for the Inspiration Challenge at Get Picky for April.

This is the inspiration. I drew mainly on the burst of yellow colour and

the scattering of butterflies.

Cheers and TFL. xx

Oops nearly forgot it's Cybercrop night tomorrow at Chat with Charm.
