1 2 3  OCTOBER CHALLENGE

1 is the colour  -    olive green

2 is  word          -   Adventure

3   technique    -    distressing

Olive green is not a colour i have in my stash, im more for brights , so i  was going to  Somewhere to Scrap in Brisbane, so  i thought  what better time to get  it 

while there , i happened to see  paper Simple  Stories, that i thought would  suit what i needed,  yes, i know its not Kaiser LOL  I also have used some  paper out of my stash  that i bought at Kmart in a 12  x 12 inch paper pack

 when placing things  down  my ideas  changed ,   but still pleased with the results,

 My  Best Friend , Natalie  &  I , always make out trips out, an adventure &  this  page is no exception. 

We were on our way to a camp for the weekend of  Camp of Crafty Creations hosted by,  Jodie Barnes. at Springbrook 

.

i have distressed the edges

inked with  drew drop green ink with the word Adventure and added glossy accents over the top, 

i have cut out some  leaves  and crunched them up and  added some   leaves charms 

until next month, thanks for dropping  by,

A2Zscraplets Septembers challenge

today, while sorting out papers for selling, i came across this  zigzag  papers, and thought,  A2Z challenge  here  we go,

so instead of cardstock,  as base  today was just playing with  patterned papers,  also  did 2 other challenges today the same way.

i have titled my layout , WILD WEATHER  as  when i was working, i was there 10 years, and  my boss, gave me a weekend away at  a resort, but  by the time i  got to mums place, as i was taking mum away withme, the weather got nasty and the waters rose in half and  hour. As we were going away for the weekend mum cleaned out the fridge, so   we only had baked beans for the weekend,  my hubby thought i was at the resort all weekend,living the high life,  but did not get there,  what  a weekend living on baked beans. went back to work on monday,  everyone asked how the weekend went   we did  finally go away, in may,  2 months after   that weekend .

The papers are from Kaiser collection, one is called Hello today, but not sure of the other  one
the card stock is Kaiser  marine,
i have added some Amy Tangerines  Washi tape
the chipboards are fro Kaiser  and have inked it  with black  drew drop ink  and  covered with mod podge  dimensional  magic,

1 2 3 September challenge

thanks very much for   this challenge

As i m getting ready to go to camp soon,  everything is a  mess in my craft room  pulling things out,  but  then i thought,  why not ,  just do simple  layouts, that dont take a lot of time

Seeing as my Mum does not drive any more,  its up to me to  take her to  her seniors club, every thursday,  so naturally, im ,  in the seniors club now,   getting  free cups of coffee and biscuits  LOL ,

  they have things on every week,  the announcer said  a few weeks ago , next week we are dressing up for spring, as it  turned out,  i   had to  take mum for an appointment,  that day, so missed out, but was meeting  my school friends on saturday, and thought, i always wear jeans or  good pants, why not wear this dress,  that i just bought for the dress up day,

 Im hoping the seniors will have a Melbourne  cup day, ive heard they do, so will pop on a hat and  i ready   for that one,  so the dress will get 2 wears out of it , ..

so i got  one of them to take a photo of me.  unfortunately,   you wont see  the colour   as  its not  the right colour for this challenge, but  i have used up all my photos  of me in  purple

 the card stock is just out of my stash, that ive had for years,  ( about time i used some now)
ive then added ,  gesso to  my new 8 x 8 inch FAB stencil  just love this,   and with my  abundance of chipboard words, created the  word   I  have   inked it with   drew drop  inks, which i love and then gone over it with smooch  white.
i  have also edged it with  white card stock
hope  you like it  ,til next month,
thanks

scrapbooking top 50 august challenge

when i saw  the butterflies on your challenge sight , i knew that kelly anns butterflies would suit perfectly
I have never  been into  butterflies until  last year, when i happened to go to class  that on the layout had butterflies,
now, i can not get enough, especially with A Mothers Art,   butterflies, from Kelly Ann Oosterbeek, who designs her own self adhesive sticker butterflies,  they are soo cute, &  now i have  seen, that i can make  one colour into another  making another colour,  orange, using marker pens, that Kelly  mentioned to  me . how cool.

i had visions of how they would go on my page, but this did not eventuate
here is what i have used to create  my layout.
I have used , the crafters workshop stencil  then with
Colour Blast  texture paste  another of my favourites in my stash,  using
singing the blues
Royality
Sunshine
Lipstick ( pink)
and  of course,  Kellys  butterflies, A Mothers Art
red

A2Z Scraplets August CHallenge

Thanks  very much A2Z just love these tic, tac, toes,  challenges, makes me think outside the box,
so this afternoon, i thought i would go with
 (1) patterned paper
 (2) a2z chipboard,  On a Adventure
(3)  stamping,

 (1)  The patterned paper i  have used,  is Kaiser's  Pack your Bags.  its a very old collection, but have plenty of, so  I have cut one out  a  sheet out and turned it over and  inked it  on to  second sheet, ( same )  in distress Vintage photo ink. I also have used a  6 x 6 inch  patterned papers to mat  under the photos.
(2) with  the word,  On a  Adventure, i have  used  Lindy magical Hydranda  Blue, which i recently bought at gympie, on our recent adventure with my best friend Natalie.

 I will have to find more of these cute  tubs,  they  have  so many uses  &  they  dont take too much room,
what i did with it was to use my water brush and dipped into the  bottle and then  started at the bottom, i wanted the effect of  light at the top and darker at the bottom,  ( i  usually dont play), so what i get on the page is what i  get, so have gone over  it a few times at the bottom , to make it look darker, and then have used  dimensional magic  to make it pop.  i just  like getting started and finishing my project within  a couple of hours,

(3) stamping ,
Here i have used several  brands,
Kaszazz  for the  2 birds,   with black staz on ink
the car,  is from Kaiser -  On the Move  stamping collection  i have coloured in with  Colour Blast texture  paste for the windscreen  and headlights -  Sunshine and the  bumper bars   with  colour  blast  - Steel,  again i have got out the  tub of  Magical Hydrangea Blue an painted the car ( my favourite colour  blue)
The Seagulls  &  word -  you never know when  your making  a  memory are  both  from Kaiser stamps both are inked in staz-on  inks

hope you enjoy my layout,

 not sure if i will complete any more challenges,
i have  in the coming weeks.
an orchid show to to help set up ( hubby grows orchids)
  sewing -  to fix my dress for a wedding ( not mine wedding  LOL)
make a wedding card,
pack  for next retreat,  im not going to retreat til  october
and a few other things,  before the end of the month.
i am sure i will have  other things  that will tie me up with other adventures im sure

until next month,  thanks for dropping by.

1 2 3 August Challenge

 hi another  month is passing us by,  thanks for  this   challenge,  i found this one really easy to do i  did it in  a matter of minutes at a recent retreat, but then had to wait to get hoe to print out the photos.

before leaving on my  retreat, i  embossed some white card stock,

I have used , Sea Breeze Kaiser papers, p 2017 refresh for a change instead of brown card stock,
at the retreat,  i cut my papers  into squares, added a brown car, and  then added the photos today,
 I have used ,Close to my Heart stamps for the  date and   the word scrapbook
the  word ,explore, i  had printed out at home, but when i looked in my goodie box, there i found  this explore, which is much nicer than mine
 i had fun wit this one, now to continue y story on the  other side of the paper  with another challenge,
until next month, where has the time gone, September  soon & i haven't even started my Xmas cards, they went  all the way to Gladstone and home again ,without even opening  the  bag
