June Mood Board Release at Black With 2....

Welcome peeps....

 

We're into June, and that means

 Reveal Day

 at

 Black With 2!

 

This month's Mood Board is totally yummy...

 

Using the colours

Chocolate

 &

 Raspberry!

 

The required word is

 Sweetness.

 

 And the sketch is

 sweet too!

 

All on a black base!

My interpretation...

As soon as I saw the colours

 on the Mood Board I knew

 exactly what papers I was

 going to use -

 "Bittersweet"

 from

 Basic Grey.

 

This collection was one of my

 first 'to die for' collections

when it was released,

and I still have a

 ton of it!!!

I have used sweet photo's

 of youngest Granddaughter,

Emma, and repeated

 the photo twice!

A few buttons for embellishments

 (too sweet) and the

papers do the rest!

I hope you will have time

to join our challenge

 over at

 Black With 2

 this month.

 

Over at the Blog my fellow

 DT girls have some stunning

 takes on this month's

Mood Board - me thinks I

might have to give

 mixed media a go!!!

 

Next month I am going

 to use stencil's!

Watch this space

 - aaaaaargh.....

 

Thanks for dropping in

SOUS Sketch Reveal

 

Helloooo....

 

It's Friday...

 

Sketch Reveal Day

 at

 Stuck On U Sketches!

 

And a great sketch from

 our own Leah to

 play with...

 

So happy with this one.... 

 

Leah's great sketch....

I had a lot of fun adding

 all the little embellishments

 to this page.

The papers are

"Miss Match"

 from

 Kaiser.

 

With the Collectables from

 "These Days"

from

Kaiser.

 

The butterfly stamp is also

from

Kaiser

 "Bonjour".

I have randomly stamped

 the background paper

with the

"Botanical" stamp

 from

 Kaiser.

The gorgeous fairy is

 from a new die from

 Tonic

called

"Fae Hideaway"

The wee frame is a

 Katy Sue

 mould with some

 Air Dry Clay,

 which I have finished with

Pinflair Buff-It in

 Antique Silver.

The "Victorian Picket Fence"

 is from

 Cheery Lynn.

 

The leaf sprays are a gorgeous

 die from

 Tattered Lace

 "Foliage Leaves"

 and the roses are from my stash.

And a photo of my three

 beautiful

 Granddaughters!

Remember, this month you

 will be playing for a

 $15 voucher

 from the

Paper Bakery.



Can't wait to see your

 take on the sketch.

 

So, head on over to the

Stuck On U Sketches Blog

 for some more stunning

 inspiration from my

fellow DT girls.

 

We are also, sadly,

saying farewell to a

 few of the girls from

 the Sketch Team.

 

However, not long until we

 introduce the new members

to the Team following

our recent DT Call.

 

So, hop on over to

 SOUS

 for all the details.

 

See you there.....

 

Hugs for now

 

Sketch Reveal at SOUS!

Good morning everyone.

 

Welcome to another

 sketch reveal

 at

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

This is a layout I have had

 in the planning stages

 for many years!

 

You all know how old

this paper collection

is - right!

 

When it was first released

 I knew just what

 photo to use!

 

Finally the papers

 and the photo

 have come

 together....lol

And Leah's great sketch

 was the perfect

 catalyst!

 

The papers are of course

 from Kaiser.

 

"Shaken Not Stirred"

 Collection. (OMG!!)

Not too much by the way

 of techniques, but this page

 came together

VERY quickly.

It is also quite flat,

 perfect for the album.

 

Always conscious of

 reducing bulk!

The fab photo is daughter

and son-in-law after a

night at the Casino

 in Perth, WA, back

 in January 2007.

I am so happy to have finally

 made my vision

reality...lol

 

After making another couple

 of layouts with the papers,

 another collection has

 been used up - I'm

 on a mission!

For the month of May,

at SOUS, we are being

 sponsored by a great

 Kit Blog

 

The Paper Bakery

 

So make sure and get your entries

 in for the great challenges we

 set each month,

 Sketch Layouts,

 Die Cutting

 and

 Project Life.

 

Now, head on over to the

 Stuck On U Sketches Blog

 and see the beautiful work

of my fellow DT girls

 with todays sketch.

 

Love & Hugs

 

Mood Board Reveal for May at Black With 2!

 

Hello everybody....

 

May already!

 

The 1st of the month means

 Reveal Day

at

 Black With 2!

 

And, boy, is there a lot

happening over at

 the

BW2 Blog

today!

 

It is the announcement of our new DT!

 

But before you go and

 meet the new girls on

 the team, here is my

 interpretation of the

 May Mood Board.

 

The two colours this month are

Soft Grey & Dark Slate

the word to use is 'Life'

and there is a sketch to follow.

 

May's Mood Board...

We also have these gorgeous

new frames on the blog

to showcase our layouts.

 

 Designed by fellow DT girl

 and good friend

Annette Gearside.

Love the font!

I must admit, I did struggle

 a bit with these colours,

 or lack of colours!

 

But, happy with the

 final outcome.

Pretty obvious where the

photo is - hubby and

 the Sydney Harbour

Bridge.

 

Certainly one of

 Life's Moments!

The border punch,

which I thought emulated

 the Bridge, upside down,

 is a

Tonic punch

 'Voile Valance Border'.

Chippies from

 Kaiser

 and

Twiddleybitz.

Tattered Angels mask.

and

 American Crafts black cardstock.

Remember, we have

monthly sponsors at

 Black with 2.

 

For May we have

 Anna's Craft Cupboard.

And our continuing sponsorship

 from

The Scrapbooking Hut.

 

 

Now, head on over to the

 Black With 2 Blog

 and meet the new DT girls,

 and see their awesome work

 with this month's

 Mood Board.

 

You're in for a treat.

 

See you there.

 

Hugs

 

Sketch Reveal at SOUS!

 

Welcome!

 

It's time again for a new sketch at

Stuck On U Sketches.

 

A great sketch this time from Nanne.

 

Lots of layers.

 

Love it

 

My interpretation....

 

Nanne's Sketch....

My papers are from

 Prima "Engraver" collection.

The little Paris stamp is from

 Something Tattered

 "Basket of Roses"

 stamp set.

The gorgeous clock die

 is from

 Tattered Lace

 "Counting the Moments".



Layers and layers of distressed paper,

 and some clock faces cut

from the paper.

Darling hubby inside the

 Paris Opera House

 during our trip

 last June.

Totally loving this page.

Found this image on the net

 (copyright free)

 from the 1800s of the

 inside of the entrance

 of the Opera House.

 

Hubby is standing at the

 bottom left of the staircase

 beside the large statue of lights,

 just where the man in

 the painting is

 standing - spooky!

Remember, everyone that takes

part in one of the April

 challenges over at SOUS,

 is in with a chance of

 winning the

 $30 prize from

 Scrapbook Circle.

Also, our DT Call is

 still running.

 

You have a few days left
