In a Flash...

When I saw the Camera Craze Challenge at Moxie Fab World, my first though was of this series of photos I had not yet scrapped, when my DS discovered the first lesson of photography - don't look directly into the camera at close range - in a flash the reason becomes blindingly obvious.  Then the palette for Color Combos Challenge arrived - with its gorgeous silvers and circle inspiration, and the perfect multi photo circle sketch from Sketchabilities, so I decided it was time to get back scrapping! 

I used these gorgeous Bo Bunny Mama-razzi papers and chipboard stickers, together with this grid paper I purchased in Canada 7 years ago (it's been quite a while!!!) combined with Tim Holtz mini clear film roll and Ali Edwards stamps from Technique Tuesday, stamped in Versamark and heat embossed with Pewter Zing.  The Delish alphas were inked with Versa Color Silver then clear embossed.  I love the use of silver in this layout as silver nitrate and silver halides are used in the photographic process.

This made me smile

Wow what a year so far...

Spent the last couple of weeks crossing my fingers as both my Dad & brother are in Queensland - luckily the waters stopped at my brothers back steps, and only his shed & chook house saw any damage.  Dad's property was safe too.  Heart and thoughts go out to all those who did not fare so well.  Collecting up some of my excess supplies to send to flood affected scrappers up north.

Honoured to have been chosen as this weeks featured member over at Colour Combo Challenge.  Here's my layout inspired by this weeks colours and a challenge to create a scene with clouds - had fun playing with the paints and glimmermist & realised I'm definitely a BRIGHT scrapper LOL!

"Share..."

"The greatest moments in life were made to share..."

Of course, life is not always this caring & sharing, but we can live in hope... LOL!

Inspired by the baubles to combine this weeks Colour Combo Challenge Colours into this months Stuck? Sketch. Lots of bling - gold ink, diamonte flower centres, pearls and sparkly alpha.

Cherish...

I've always LOVEd Louise Nelson's work, so using the palette from this weeks Colour Combo challenge (inspired to use something from my garden) and based on Get Picky's Sketch 2 (which I just realised has already closed LOL!) I managed this... and I LOVE it - so quick to do too :)

Memories like this... priceless

Not quite sure what it is with my pages lately, start off heading in one direction and keep ending up in a whole different city - sometimes even a different country LOL!  This is a boy page - not that you'd guess it with all these flowers going on!!!

Loved the colours at Color Combo Challenge this week.  Couldn't wait to dust off my cuttlebug and used the damask folder on cor'dinations cardstock as the background - then promptly covered it with flowers!  Bird and branches rub-ons from Jenni Bowlin are on damask paper too.

Given what happened last week, shared moments like these are more precious than ever :)
