Saturday Scrappers

HI, The prompt at Scrap the Boys for June is “In Stitches”, one of my favourite things to add to layouts is stitching, both machine and hand stitching. I have used colour burst powders to create this wildly colourfully background, and then used a few different stencils and stamps over the top.   I have added a few rows of machine stitching and a star embellishment which is also machine and hand stitched. Hope you like my take on the sketch, thanks for looking. Julie J http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com/

HI, On this page I have combined two challenges: The theme from “Scrap the Girls” for June Is “Best Friends” and the Prompt from "Archi-scraps" to use "Triangles". I have a great group of friends that decided about 10 years ago when our local scrapbooking shop closed to host our own crops each week at each other’s houses, while we still scrap together every week, it has also turned into an amazing friendship with lots of social outings together.   So this photo of us at the football was perfect for Scrap the Girls, this month. I have  sprayed the background with a very simple mask to create two triangles, I then stencilled with some colour paste to represent the pyramids in the picture from Archi-scraps.   I cut some more triangles out of pattern paper and added them to the top and bottom of the layout Hope you like my take on the Challenges, I have lots of fun create this page.

  HI, I had such fun playing around with the circle cutter again, to incorporate as many photos as I could using Sketch #325 from Sketches in Thyme. The fun multi photo layout was perfect to scrap these photos of our Christmas Party Hope you like my interpretation of the Sketch, thanks for looking. Julie J

  HI, On this page I have combined two challenges Sketch #324 from Sketches in Thyme and the Prompt from Archi-scraps to use CORK. The multi photo layout from Sketches in Thyme was perfect to scrap these gorgeous photos of my granddaughters first up-close and personal encounter with a horse.   I have used CORK letters in the title which I think   really blended in well with the country theme. Hope you like my interpretation of the Challenges, thanks for looking. Julie J http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com.au/ http://archiscraps.blogspot.com.au/

Hi Everyone, What a beautiful painting to use as inspiration for the May Challenge at ARTastic, with the criteria of flowers. I have taken my inspiration from the beautiful colours in the painting and also the hanging ferns at the top. I have used flowers from my stash as well as floral rubons and added a fern stencil at the top to Represent the hanging ferns at the top of the painting. Hope you like my take on the challenges, thanks so much for looking. Regards,   Julie J https://artasticchallengeblog.blogspot.com.au/ MAY inspiration is by Cathy McClelland and is called Tap Dancer

Hi Everyone, For this page I have combined the Sketch from “Sketches in Thyme” with the prompt from Scrap the Girls for May which was of course “Birthday Girl”. I thought the Star Sketch really suited the Celebration theme.   I decided to take the Stars a little bit further and used them in my Mixed Media background. Hope you like my take on the challenges, thanks so much for looking. Regards,   Julie J http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.com.au/ http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.com.au/
