123 Challenge January 2016

123 Challenge January 2016


 
Hello,thanks for stopping by!
This months challenge rules were to use 
Yellow, Together and Texture on your layout. 
Yellow was the perfect choice of colour for this 
layout of my daughter Leah 
(or Jessie as per costume) and her friends.




Scrapping Outback January Challenge

Scrapping Outback January Challenge


I love the colours of this challenge. White, Grey, 
Silver and Black are colours I love to use on a layout.
I'm really happy how the chipboard frame turned out. 
I have painted the frame using silver distress paint 
and then used crackle accent to gloss it up and give the 
crackled look. While still wet I dipped parts of the frame 
in silver microbeads. Love those tiny little beggars!!
Have a great day x

Australia Day Cyber Crop

Scrapping clearly - Australia Day Cyber Crop


Well I must say I had a wonderful time taking 
part in Scrapping Clearly's Australia Day Cyber Crop.

This is only the second time they have held a Cyber Crop 
and it was my first time taking part. It certainly won't 
be my last time, I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

It was nice seeing other ladies scrap rooms and layouts 
as well as chatting to them at different times.
I really look forward to taking part in the next 
Cyber Crop that they do.

Thanks again to everyone involved in organising the 
crop as well as everyone who participated.

Below are my six layouts that I completed.
Happy Scrapping. Tanya x

Scrap the Girls January Challenge

Scrap the Girls January Challenge


It was quite strange doing a challenge this month and 
not having any rules or guidelines 
 No colour scheme or no specific layout style. 
I must admit I do like having rules set out as it 
makes scrapbooking a layout just a little bit more 
fun and exciting and not to mention easier as you don't 
have to think about what you are going to do. Anyway 
here is my layout for this month, hope you like it. 
Enjoy your weekend x

White with 1 January Challenge


White with 1 January Challenge


Typical kids, they're all the same! 
You want one nice photo of them at the start of their 
school year and what happens?? They push, shove, 
pull faces and do the complete opposite to what you ask. 
Lucky these two gave me the nice shot before loosing it 
and mucking up. No matter what their age they just can't 
help themselves. But lucky for me I kept taking photos 
and look what I have, evidence that they can get along 
even if it is just to annoy me.
Cheers, Tanya


Kraft Plus January Challenge


Kraft Plus January Challenge

 


This challenge required us to incorporate our 
own handwriting on our layout, now that is a 
real challenge in itself because I don't like my 
handwriting and never ever write on my work. 
I'm happy to type up some journaling but handwriting 
is no go zone for me usually.

But this challenge has certainly made me think about 
writing on my layouts more often because only the other 
day I found a piece of paper that is over 18 years old that 
said two very special words on it - Hi Tanya
My dad wrote this when he was sick in hospital and he 
gave it to my husband who was visiting him while in Melbourne. 
He was to bring it home and give to me. My Dad died several 
months later and I think that although my handwriting won't 
mean anything to my kids now, it certainly will when I'm 
no longer around.

Funky Flair January Challenge



Funky Flair January Challenge



Just thought I'd get my scrapbooking mojo back after a 
month's holiday. Whilst I don't normally use orange in 
my layouts I really like this mood board. And of course I 
had to use these photos from Marcus' 15th birthday as the 
colour of his basketball cake matched in perfectly.

Happy New Year



Hope you all had a wonderful Christmas and New Year.
Can you believe we are already getting towards the end of January, 
where on earth did that time go?

Well I received some exciting news while I was away on a 4 week family 
holiday in America, I got the wonderful news that I had been selected to be 
part of the Funky Flair team. What a thrill and honour to even be considered 
let alone selected. I am really looking forward to showing off my work. I took
enough photos on my holiday to keep me busy for a very long time ;)

Wishing you all a great 2016, keep creating memories and enjoying life
