Scary Strawberry

Happy Hallowe'en from Bonnie Scotland.....

Here's a layout I made recently for

Scrappy Go Lucky.....

I have used the Happy Hauntings cartridge.....

This photograph is from Hallowe'en last year,

and yes, Darling Daughter dressed

No 1 Granddaughter as a

PINK strawberry......

The Happy Hauntings cartridge

is full of wonderful images and

the Font is gorgeously drippy and gooey

- I love it....

There are some wonderful images

that can be used for any time of year,

not just Hallowe'en,

and when I get back to Oz

I'm dying to try them,

especially the frames.....

Isn't this bat just perfect.....



The above image is a Pink Paislee stamp.....



I'm loving the pink and yellow,

makes a nice change from

purple and orange.....




Can't wait to see what the

little ones are wearing tonight.....

The three layouts the girls made

are at this post, and these are some projects

I did with the extra papers from the

Tim Holtz Vintage Shabby Paper Stack.....

* * * * * * * * * *

While I am on holiday in Scotland

I will showcase these projects....

This first project is a double canvas.....

A beautiful verse I sourced from the Net.....

And a stunning photo of DGD # 1.....

Taken 26th January 2010 - Australia Day.....

Thanks for dropping in while I'm away....

Last Post.....LOL

Hi girls....

This is my last post before we

head off to

Scotland for the month.....

This is a double layout

designed by my friend,

the beautiful Sue Hines.....

Sue ran this class about two years ago......!!!!

And I have finally finished the project.....

The photo's are DGDs # 1 and # 3

and me - Granny......


Taken on New Year's Day this year.....

I am loving all the little details Sue

has incorporated into her design.....

She sure has an eye for embellishments.......

Sue says herself that sometimes

she has to take stuff OFF

of a page before a class.....!!

Sue does not have a blog,

despite much encouragement......

But, I'm working on her........LOL

Well, that's me for now......

We leave for Scotland on Thursday night,

stay in Dubai for three nights

on the way to Scotland,

and then HOME.....

Can't wait to see Dad, Son,

and Darling

Granddaughter # 2......

It's hard to believe I haven't been

home for two years......

Time sure flies......

I have drafted a few posts to

upload while I am away......

But, sadly, won't be around to

visit your blogs and see

all your wonderful stuff.....

So, no blogging and

no scrapping for a month......

Will be in severe withdrawal

by the time I get back.....

But, I'm sure I'll make up for lost time.....

When I get back it will only be

four weeks to Christmas......aaagh.....

So, take care blogging buddies,

will miss you,

but will be with family.....

See you late November......

SOUS - Guest Designer

Happy Friday everybody

- wow, am I happy....

I am honoured to be the Guest Designer

over at Stuck On U Sketches

for this fortnight's sketch challenge.....

This is sketch # 40, from Pagemaps

- and it's ROUND.....

Now, I don't mind a challenge

- but, round and FIVE photo's....

All of which I had no idea when

Nanne asked me to Guest Design.....!!!!

But, that's OK.....

I had these beautiful photographs

of DGD # 1 from Christmas (yes, beautiful

weather down here in December) 2008,

and saw the perfect opportunity to

scrap them together......

Papers used are Cosmo Cricket

"DeLovely" collection....

Bazzill cardstock.....

Pink swirls by Flourish With A Bling

"Jasmine, Hot Pink".....

Swirl bling by Zva Creative.....

Martha Stewart Border Punch - Scallop Dot.....

Nestabilities - Classic Oval, Classic Scalloped Oval

and Classic Scalloped Square.....

When the layout was finished,

it just didn't LOOK finished,

so I added the lace around the outside edge

- then I thought "it looks like a tea-tray".....

But, I like it anyway -

and it does kinda go with the colours

and theme of the layout - so it stayed....

So, there we have it.....

I wish to thank Nanne, Sandi and Leah

from SOUS for inviting me to be the

Guest Designer for October 15th, Sketch # 40......

It certainly was a challenge.....

Thanks girls.....

Hugs

Jane xx

SOUS Challenge

Here is my interpretation of the

latest sketch over at

Stuck On U Sketches.....

The sketch by Becky Fleck.....

I have again used one of my kits from Lime Tart

- September's Full Tart Kit.....


Papers are Crate Paper's Restoration Collection.....

Little pearls with roses by Prima.....

Border punch is by Martha Stewart

- the Deep Edge Daisy Fan....

Photo's are my Mum and Dad, many years ago,

when they were courting.

They belonged to the local Motorcycle Club

back in the day, and some of the stories

Dad tells me are hilarious, about their antics back then

- treasured family photo's.....

I have done lots of distressing, but NO inking.

I like the raw white edge that the distressing

leaves and decided to leave it as is.....

**********

My previous post has not been much of a success

- a lot of work went into that album.

I thought it would have been a bit of fun

to try and guess the cartridges used

- never mind......

Thanks for dropping by.....

So, why not have a go - if you're not sure,

guess a number, could be right.....

will go into a random draw for the winner....

I will of course post the number

and details of cartridges used over at

Scrappy Go Lucky.....
