Nov monthlies!!

I have nearly finished all the monthly chs at Top 50 too!!  I just have the ‘We dare you’ ch to finish off before the deadline at midnight tonight!!

Challenge 1, by Anthea, was to use stamping as the main feature to the layout, and also to include the word ‘love’!  This is what i came up with..I have used a handmade chippie button as well as some of Becci’s gorgeous crochet flowers!

And a close up. I have stamped with white ink, then two shades of pink….

Challenge 2 was Sue’s Inspiration ch! We had to create a layout inspired by this cool cake pic..

and it also needed layering, so this is what i did..

(This looks much brighter IRL)

Challenge 3 was mine, but i think i forgot to put it here earlier in the month! lol!  My ch was to scraplift this gorgeous layout by Marelize!

They also needed to include at least 3 elements from the above layout.  Here is my lift..

Thanks for looking!

Stuck?! Sketches!

I finally got time to play with one of the Stuck Sketches!! Woohoo!!  I really liked the Nov 15th sketch, and have been hanging to scrap this photo of Bj, so i put the two together and came up with……

Here is the sketch i used!!

CC Layouts..

I managed to get all but one of the Top 50 cc layouts completed this month!!  

The opening night mini challenge was set by our Guest DT, Linda, who challenged everybody to create a card or layout (smaller than 12x12), using the word ‘Life’ and also to include ric-rac, bling/glitter, and at least 1 button.

This is what i come up with..

Challenge 1 was also set by Linda, and was to create a layout using a quote by Mother Teresa,and to also include an embellishment cluster, at lease one flower and ribbon or lace…

 

Challenge 2 was mine, as seen in a previous post!!

I was so annoyed that i didn’t get a chance to get ch 3, set by Anthea, done! I had the photo and the papers ready, but just ran out of time!

Challenge 4, set by Sue, was to create a layout about ‘a day in the life’ of somebody, and also to include 2 or more photos, inking and chipboard other than alphas.  Here is my entry..

Thanks for looking!!

A facelift..

No, not me, lol, but my blog!! :)

I visited my good friend Sue's blog late last night and notice she had a gorgeous new facelift over there, so decided i would check out the site she had used, and i come across this blog template, and i LOVE it!! :)  Hope you all like it too!! :)

My cc ch..

The 2nd main cc challenge is now up at Top50 and it is MINE!! :)  I have done something a little different this month, with the theme being 'Life As We Know It', i decided my challenge would be all about recycling! :)  You can see the challenge details here, along with the materials list for my layout, which is made entirely from recycled materials! I even dyed my op shop doiley with BEETROOT juice!! lol! :)  I hope you will give this challenge a go, it was so much fun!! :)
