Scrap the boys challenge .... March

This is my first time joining in with Scrap the Boys challenge ..
this month we had to freeze a moment in time ... and use the date in our title or somewhere on the page .. I chose to freeze the moment in time and show two photos of how my grandson Dakota has changed over the years ... these are two of my very fave photos of Dakota .. the first photo was when he was 3 years of age and then the second one shows him at age 11 ... I can still see the same adorable little face ...(whoops he wouldn't want me to say that)

I froze the time between 2000 and 2009..



thanks so much for droppin' by for a visit

COFFEE CAKE & CREATE

this saturday March 26th at 1 p.m.
we are having our FIRST COFFEE CAKE & CREATE AFTERNOON for the year ..

I will be teaching along with
two very talented gorgeous girls Nat and Steph ...

we divide the participants into 3 separate classes ..
we each teach a project... then rotate ( three times ) so at the end of the day each person goes home with 3 completed projects... GREAT IDEA HEY !!???

as well as having had lots of "yummies" for afternoon tea .... my mouth is watering just thinking about it .. a really fun day ...

I am teaching a envelope with a tag inserted inside... using the fabulous Graphic 45 papers and of course I included some Imaginarium chippies... a tiny frame. a heart and a cog ...
this is a little idea I had for a birthday or xmas present and I include a ticket to the movies or theatre inside ...
I have used this quite often and people just love it !!!!

Cosmo Cricket Circa 1934 ... love this paper !!!
I kept pretty much to the sketch other than replacing the circles on the top with layering of selected papers ..

an added feature is the "black scalloped frame" on the corner of the tag .. an upcycled piece from some packaging .. I am very pleased with the effect !!!
My journaling..
I wished for a beautiful grand daughter and my WISH came true ..

GRUNGE & CORRUGATED BOARD

a "grunge LO on corrugated board" ..something a little different ..
it was inspired by my gorgeous friend Natalie May click here to see her beautiful work ....thanks Nat for your inspiration xo

I was browsing in a "bric a brac" shop recently and spied this piece of old jewellery and asked if I could take a pic .. "no worries was the answer"....
I purchased a gorgeous "old cup and saucer" which I will use in another LO later ..

I printed the pic onto canvas which I felt created interest and complimented the grunge look....






thanks for droppin' by guys hope you are having a great weekend.
we went to the fringe last night and saw Renee Geyer perform in the Speigel tent ... fantastic !!!
love and hugs
