Hello Monday

Another weekend gone... hope you had a good one...I know I did. A lovely weekend away, shopping, relaxing, exploring and discovering a new town, well worth the 6hr round trip!!! . Back to the real world today tho!

Last week I scrapped a few challenges at Bons. A sketch provided by Mal was this, along with extra criteria of:

*something metal
*stamped background
*mostly handwritten title *gasp*

Here is my interpretation of the sketch. Love my Ali Edwards film strip stamp..mmmm!

The Room of the Month (ROTM) was this beautiful outdoors room...wish it was mine!...sigh...Anyway, some of the girls at Bon's have been creating awesome LO's lately using paint and I was very inspired to get my paints out again.

So I created this....photo of my littlest man on the day of his 2nd birthday!

All buttons on these two LO's are from Purple Pumpkin...Sam really out does her self...they are GORGEOUS!!

Hope you are all having a great start to your week!

It feels good...

to have scrapped again!!!! I really struggled last month to feel inspired about anything...not sure why, I know I had a lot going on...maybe that was the reason I couldn't feel settled or like anything I did. Anyway, this week I thought I would have a huge clean up, print out new photos and start again...

The Write Now challenge at Bons this month was to write a thank you letter to someone. It had to include the following as extra criteria.

* Rolled edges
* Hearts
* At least 2 types of alphas.

Here is my LO.....

The background paper is Fancy Pants, throw in some music paper, bit of BG scraps, masking tape, Echo Park heart stickers, Jenny Bowlin Buttons, string, Scrap Metal and my fav thing to do...stitching... and there you have it!!!

Well I am sooo excited because tomorrow Brad has the day off and we are heading to Rocky for a long weekend to do some shopping....do you know how long its been since I have seen some decent shops!!!!!......way too long!!!!!

So I will be back Monday with some more scrappy shares!

Love

AMANDA B
Hi Min,

Firstly thanks for being my first "follower" on my blog! I appreciate your comments and kindness.

Secondly thank you very very much for supporting women with breast cancer. I am a 3 year survivor this year and can not tell you how much I wish they would find a cure. Despite the fact I have had my breasts removed, I still fear the bloody thing popping up somewhere else in my body.

Every dollar raised goes towards research and assistance to women who need it. I really appreciate your kindness.

To all the women reading this, please check your boobs! I was 31 with no family history. Please be vigilant.

Thanks ever so much
Amanda xx

A new challenge

at WHITE WITH 1 is up!!!!! I hope you can pop on over and give this one a go.


Your colours are White, Yellow and you need to Journal directly on to your layout, this can be your cardstock or patterned paper, you can not use journal blocks, strips etc.



Here is my example....


Closeup:

Just a note:
** When entering this month’s WW1 Challenge, White and Yellow must be your predominant colours, you may use a small amount of black for journaling and inking etc, this must not distract from the other colours.

Look forward to seeing your LO's!

Have a great day!

Love

Happy

1st of November!!!!!!! Where did October go....???!!!! I know I was really busy with visitors and birthdays so it just flew by...didn't get much scrapping done but its always like this at this time of the year!

Anyway, here is KRAFT IT UP's November challenge. This month at Kraft It Up we are on the look out for some funky and inspirational ways to jazz up your pages using Decorative Edges….

So we need you to use KRAFT and some way to add DECORATIVE EDGES to your layout….
Think punches, scissors, diecut strips (Sass Lass papers are a good example of these) Diecut papers, specialty ribbons (pom poms) and crocheted trims just to name a few.

Here is my example....

Happy days with daddy (photo taken on Fathers Day):
