a moment to smile

Hey, hope you are keeping well - I've had some time to get into a few challenges this month and it's been so nice.  Here I have a page to share for Bird is the Word - 'shadow' challenge!!

 This is a picture of my oldest on a recent camping weekend - he says that I never scrap about him :( - so I found this nice quote and teamed it with some Basic Grey.  When they get to teenagers, you can't really scrap all 'cute' any more, so I've made it fairly neutral and with a thought to ponder on ☺
The word 'shadow' has been included in the journalling!
So I've used lots of Basic Grey - Clippings collection on this page - a recent favourite of mine ☺
Here are some close-up's:

 ... a chipboard clock from Imaginarium Designs - have painted it white, then added some ink to the edges and a brad to the centre ... Manor House flowers sitting on burlap with a few cute Kaisercraft resin blossoms ...

 ... computer journalling - found this quote on the internet ...  some background stamping and inking using some circle stamps that I have ...  the main title is also stamped ...

... flair buttons from Paper Stories - oh I love these ♥♥

OK, so that's my page - I'm sure my boy will be smiling now ☺  Have a great weekend ☺

cool dudes

hello, another LO to share - this challenge is from Bird is the Word and the current word is: SMILE.  An easy word to use when it comes to creating fun boy LO's!! ☺

Here's my LO:

 The pics are of two of my boys just mucking around and being funny!!  The background paper is from Basic Grey - What's up collection - I've just got a few of their papers and embellies - LOVE it ☺
Here are some close-up's:

 ... lettering from American Crafts - my journalling from my vintage typewriter ☺ ...

...  modelling paste and the CW template, as well as misting in a few different colours; and also a bit of inking with espresso ink ... a super star from Charms Creations - they give a bit of WOW and colour to any LO and I love working with them ... and some star punch-out's ...

So there you have it - I'm off to link it up at Bird is the Word and then start my next challenge that I have on my list.  And next month I have some pretty cool news to share ☺☺ Thanks for coming by to visit ♥

he adores him

 Just popping in to share this LO for Bird is the Word challenge - adore.  I had the perfect photo's - just taken last week - of my oldest and youngest together.
I've used papers from Kaisercraft - Madame Boutique collection - which are just beautiful - a little bit of vintage with beautiful colour tones.  I've also added in some Prima and other fun embellishments.  Here are some close-up's:

 ... Prima flowers and a cute bug button from Lil Red Rocket ...

 ... more flowers ... letters from Sassafrass and American Craft Thickers ...

... and I spy this cute little Maya Road ruler - totally adorable and available from Handmade by Suzanne ...

Hope you are all having a great day and getting a bit of scrappin' done ♥

together

 Caden and his little cousins - since we don't live that close to our family; it was great to get a picture of them all together on his last birthday.
This LO is for the Bird in the Word Challenge - with the word being together.  It was the perfect word for this picture.

 I've used papers from Simple Stories - love this range and the colour tones.  The letters are American Thickers which I've dabbed with paint and then outlined in black.

... another rosette flower with flowers, bits of stamping and painting added in ...  I am loving all the textured stamps that are available at the moment ...

I had a lot of fun putting this one together - another little memory recorded.
Happy crafting and thanks for coming by.  Hello to my latest followers - I've just hit 150!!  Must be time for a give-away - stay tuned.

a magic moment

 This really was a magic moment - Caden got the biggest sand-bomb that someone had ever made and you can really see the delight and excitment in his expressions.  So cute - my wonderful sister captured  these pics fun of him!
I've used these pics for the latest challenge at Bird is the Word - a fun challenge site that uses words as inspiration - love this idea!!  If you can't already guess - the word is 'Magic'.
I've used papers from October Afternoon and Kaisercraft with lots of fun embellishments.
Here's some close-up's:

 A cute balloon from the Chip-Chop Shop - and I've been having my own fun with Fimo too - making the flowers and clouds.

Not too many 'white' spaces left on this LO, but I'm loving it - I think using the multiple photo's, you tend to cover the whole page. 
Thanks for a fun challenge and thanks for coming by.
