White with 1 - May Challenge

Hi again! Today I am sharing with you my entry for White with 1 May challenge. The challenge was to use white + black + badges/banners. I like this challenge site as it gets you thinking outside the "normal" square as you are limited with the amount of colour you can include. The photo is of my middle son Tom and my brother in law Billy. They have a very unique bond (even though there is about 40 years between them!)

Thanks for looking - Nelle.

Sassy Scrapper - May Challenge

Hi and welcome to another post. Today I am sharing with you the May Challenge over at Sassy Scrapper. This month was another sketch challenge using multiple photos. I quite enjoyed this was I do like to do multi photo lo's.
Here is my take on the sketch.

Sassy Scrapper April Sketch

Hi! Wow I didn't realise how long it has actually been since I have done a post. This has proved to be a busy year so far and I have to admit that I actually lost my mojo for scrapping for a few months while I stuggled through the nausea of being pregnant! So excited that we are expecting our 4th little bundle but I wasn't quite prepared for the nausea which has thankfully eased off now and I am loving getting back into scrapping. We have already had 2 holidays this year so i have lots of new photos to get scrapping with!
This month I have played along with Sassy Scrapper. I just love their blog and online shop and it has one of my most fav people in the world on their DT - The talented Shell Carman. The sketch was created by another DT Rikki and allowed me to play with mists, inks and gesso. The photos are of my 2 eldest being just a little crazy with dirty faces after tea!

Scrap the Boys - Jan challenge

Hi & Happy New Year. Gee Blogger has been giving me a bit of grief this month but hopefully now I'm back on track. Today I am sharing with you my entry for the January Challenge over at one of my fav sites - Scrap the Boys. The criteria was to scrap a LO of you boys fav summer past time and base your LO on this. My boys just LOVE their icypoles and have at least one a day in Summer so I thought this was a perfect topic for my LO.

Thanks for looking - Nelle.

Scrap the Boys - Dec Challenge

Hi. I hope everyone had a great Christmas and is looking forward to starting the New Year. We had a great Christmas with family and it was great to see the excitement on the boys faces!
Now onto my entry for Scrap the Boys December challenge. This month was to use Christmas photos and create a LO using non traditional Christmas colours. I had some Websters waiting for Santa paper that I had bought about 2 years ago (LOL I like to collect) and I thought it was a perfect match for my photos. Jack and Tom had a great time making our traditional Christmas Shortbreads.

Thanks for looking and Have a happy and safe New Year. Nelle....

Kraft it up - November Challenge

Hi and welcome to another post. Today I am sharing with you my entry for the Kraft it up November Challenge. This month was all about showing a large amount of "white" space on your LO. I have used a gorgeous photo of my 3 boys and have used some Simple Stories paper. For the background I used a KaiserCraft bubble stamp. To make the flower I have used some corrugated cardboard and put this through my cuttlebug using a scallop die, I then fussy cut a flower from the Simple Stories range and finished it off with a button and twine. Very simple to do but I think it looks very effective.

Thanks for looking - Nelle.

October Sketch - My Creative Sketches

Hi. Today I would like to share with you my LO for the October Sketch Challenge over at My Creative Sketches. It is a photo I absolutely adore of my middle son Tom on his first birthday. (He is about to turn 5!!). I have used papers from Studio Calico's Yearbook range. They are lovely and soft colours that really compliment the photo.

Thanks for looking - Nelle.
