Three generations baking a special cake together

Hi all, hope you are all well, life has certainly been very busy here lately, but did get time to play on Sunday and had another go at a scrap booking page, this is the day before Rosanna's 11th Birthday (she is now 14, way behind lol, she is taller than the oven now!), with her Aunty Jen and her granny (Jen's and Edward's Mum) when they were here on holiday.  As you can image it was a very special cake. 

Also so chuffed got picked as a Some Odd Girl Fav for my Mooey Slippers, WOO HOO, thanks girls, hello to my newest followers can't believe I am at 200!!  Couldn't visit you all as some didn't have blog links.

Anyway onto my inspiration over at the Mad for Markers Store Blog I made this page using Tiny Baker Tia, I just loove her she is so cute and from Some Odd Girl and is available from the M4M Store here.

Scrapbook Sisters have a challenge to stamp some of your background and thankfully you have a month, so this gave me time to play lol!  I have also followed Some Odd Girl's Sketch.  The photo is not the best as I took it with my phone at the time (you can actually see my reflection in the oven lol)

Sorry it is not a good photo, didn't matter how many I took lol!  I think it is because it is 12 x 12?

A closer look at the spicas, special effects, dazzling diamonds glimmer mist, I also made a frame of SU blue glitter around the photo, for extra sparkle!  There are lots of rhinestones added to the papers, ribbon etc,

Just love this beautiful sentiment from LOTV, which I bought with my voucher from Lorraine (thanks again Lorraine)

Zoo Scrapbooking Pages using Copics to create the photo background

Hi crafting buddies, hope you are all well.

This is a scheduled post hopefully I have it right this week, when I snuck on at work to check last week, big flap on when it wasn't there, I had only set it for P.M. LOL!

Today for my inspiration over at the Mad for Markers Store Blog I would like to show you how I made my own backgrounds for the photos to match the Bo Bunny papers I have used on the following scrap pages, just looove these papers, just perfect for these photos of Rosanna and her friend Karly taken last July at Werribee Zoo.

Page 2

Sorry for the quality of the photo must have taken 12 shots had to take the photo back off and this was the best I could get, think it must be the white lol!  As you can see I coloured around the edges and created a two tone effect

I then went around the edge with the marker to take away the white edge, I usually use a marker on the photos too especially after using a corner punch.  This photo was tricky camera in one hand, marker and paper in the other lol!

I usually use a marker on the edges of the photos too especially after using a corner punch, like on this photo with round edges. Just love this photo!

Sammi's digi Beach Gal Tag for a Scrapbooking Page

Hope you are all well, I'm feeling a little sorry for myself at the moment lol!  Had toothache for four days, so went to see the dentist (Tues) and I had a choice of having the three nerves taken out and a cap fitted (approx. $4,000) or it being pulled, so after much pulling I am now one tooth less lol!  Dentist reckons my jawbone had a good grip lol!  There is an absess so on antibiotics for a week, so my mojo is AWOL!  Moaning out of the way lol!

Today I would like to show you a tag I have made using Sammi's digi image 'Beach Gal' available from the store here.  Thought she was just perfect for a Beach scrapbooking page.  The tag has the date and a little bit about the day.

Scrapbooking Page for our Mad for Markers Australia Day Colour Challenge

Hi all,  First what amazing entries we had for our last challenge, what a difficult task you gave the DT in choosing our favourates!

Being an Australian based Company we thought we would have an 'Australia Day' Challenge over at our Mad for Markers Challenge Blog we would like you to use Australia Day Colours, this can be either RED, WHITE and BLUE   OR  YELLOW and GREEN and use one of these combinations on  your creation.

Now I decided to have another go at a scrapbooking layout, not done too many but fairly pleased with this one.  Though I think something could be missing, let me know.  I thought Mo's image 'digital boy' was just perfect for these photos.  The card is DCWV 'The Generation Tech Stack', Rosanna and I got these for Christmas.  They are fantastic for boy creations!  This is Morgan and our friend's children from England in 09, they had all connected their DS's to some racing game, had to take some photos, they were concentrating that hard lol!

I have used special effects for the eyes, watch, bracelet, remote lead, end of the shoe lace, wrapper and can.

Copics

Clothes & Shoes  B91, B95, B97, C00, C1, C2, W3, W5, W7, R27

Hair & Skin E000, E00, E31, E53, E55, E57, E59, R20, R24

Heads Up for our Cowgirl's 'Anything Goes Challenge'

Hi all, Posse 2 will be leading our 'Anything Goes' Challenge starting July 25th, Posse 1 are giving you a little advance warning. I chose CJ's Dad 'n' Me image as it reminded me of an old photo of Edward as a little boy (not too long ago lol). Which I wanted to use on a scrapbooking page, found this gorgeous paper at Riot and Craft. The old photo Morgan scanned for me and made it a little bigger, Edward is in the blue, holding the hand of the farm hand Mr Fisher leading one of the farm horse with his brother riding. The heart shape photo is his first pony Patch and the middle was Mr Major (boy was he a handful) but thoroughly enjoyed riding him.
This is a close up of the beautiful image, not going to say how many attempts I had at colouring, haven't coloured a horse since I was little lol!

A close up of the old photo (approx 44/45 years ago)

Our sponsor for our 25th July Anything Goes is the talented Michelle Perkett
The winner will receive THREE images of their choice from Michelle's store, TWO images of their choice from CJ's store and a winners badge to display proudly on your blog.

Second is Just Us Girls #5, Wild Card Challenge to create a holiday card showcasing a photo, just had to do a halloween for Granny back in England, she so loved to see the children dressed up, got a good photo of Morgan as a pink fairy in is toddling days, (can't wait till his 21st LOL). Thirdly, Soft Pencil Challenge #5 to make a project with a bow(s) also using one of her digital images so I have used Michu and a cute witch and little bat, you should visit her store she has some wonderful digital images, fourth C.R.A.F.T. #23 to use orange and black, and finally Cutie Sunday Sketch #65.

I have used some of my scrap papers, just love the halloween colours, also just bought the purple bat adhesive ribbon from a craft store, just had to use it soon, didn't want to wait till next Halloween.

Thanks for looking, happy crafting, take careX:)

Delicious Diva's last sketch

Hi all, just a quickie, had a busy day, been to the RSPCA and we now have a new addition to the family will post some pics soon, never got this one posted in time, unfortunately Delicious Divas are venturing on a new adventure, but their last sketch inspired me to create a scrapbooking page and this is it! Only started scrapbooking at the end of last year and must say card making has took over! Anyway this photo is over ten years old, but I love it! Kellie and Kristy's sketch just suited it. Kellie has a new challenge so pay her a visit. Good Luck girls in your new venture. Bye for Now,

thanks for looking, take care, AnnetteX:)

Finally finished Halloween Scrap Pages

Hi all, apologies cannot remember whose challenge inspired me to dig out some photos to create these two pages (some two or months ago), being new to scrapbooking I am looking through the albums and randomly picking photos to make a scrapbook album. In England we lived in a small village so halloween was excellent fun for children (big and small). We used to have a 12' x 6' window full of halloween decorations. The papers were from a kit by Karen Foster. The little characters around the edge are from using my Creative Memories halloween punch and the spider brads? Anyway the first page is for Rosanna's album
The second is for Morgan's album, I think I will leave web making to the spiders LOL. These pics are from two different halloweens.

and this was just to show you what such a cute dinosaur and witch, we used to have LOL!

Thanks for looking, happy crafting, take careX:)
