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 a 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

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
