YummyScrap - Colour Palette Challenge #8

Have been looking for a small window of time to get some scrapping done and have started editing pics from our big road trip. Have printed about 1/3 of them and decided on these two pics of Taylah as I noticed a resemblance in her face to our side of the family which i have never seen in her before. She has always been so much like her Dad!

 

Here is my entry for the colour challenge over at Scrapfriends blog. Which you can have a look at and join here:

First journal entry for Willowing's Art heart and Healing course done!!

It's taken me a few weeks to get to the end of this project, so much going on here with christmas and birthdays, school parties etc. Today it was time for me with a visit to the massuese and a bit of newpaper reading, and finishing off my entry. You can see all the details of Tam's amazing courses over here at www.willowing.ning.com

It's great to let loose with some paint, gesso and stamping and inks. not knowing how it will turn out. Especially when there is a portrait involved. This is about my 3rd serious attempt at drawing portraits, so still in the very early learning stages, but love the mixed media. there is some hidden journalling under all the layers of paint and gesso. Very therapeutic!

Promotions, while I can't see the kitchen table!!!

Not so lucky to have a "Me space" in the new apartment, so the dining table is getting covered inch by inch. Hubby had to make the comment today, look at you, and rolls his eyes at me. I find it quite amusing as he was the one who suggested i could have one end of the table as the table is fairly roomy. At the moment there are 2 laptops, 3-4 off the page projects I'm working on, a scanner, trimmer, projects waiting to be photographed, tools, inks etc. his reading glasses and a mountain of gift boxes. My beautiful girl came home from school today with a handful of gorgeous gift boxes they had made with the science teacher. OMG, I was onto them straight away. Much like a Kaszazz project I once made, quick and easy and gorgeous with a piece of ribbon. Watch this space, we both went box crazy and Jack even got in on the act. Know what I'll be uploading tomorrow. But for now, here's a look at the December promos. from Kaszazz, and a sneak peek at the January Host promo!

Scrapbook Boutique Inspiration challenge.

 

Here’s my first Christmas card for the season, & I’m happy to say there are no traces of green or red! I used my Ezy Press machine to emboss a dots background and die cut a label, then some fab Design adhesives and foils for the pink snowflakes. I punched out some larger snowflakes in white and smothered them in ice stickles. Of course a little Kaszazz ribbon made it’s way on there too!
