ONE OF A KIND TO ME!

 I know I open almost every post with an OMG but it's May already! I wish I could stop the clock for a day or two just so I can catch up on a quizzillion little things, I would hazard a guess you probably feel the same way!

Mother's Day is this month. To celebrate this special day, Page Drafts is having another fabulous sketch challenge. The theme is to scrapbook your special 'One of a Kind' mum or that someone in your life that is special to you.

Our main sponsor is 'Imaginarium Designs' and the fabulous ID Design Team have teamed up with Page Drafts May special guest artist Kay Fatula. Together they have created beautiful projects for the Page Drafts 'One of a Kind' Challenge release. To check out all the details scoot on over.

Natalie May the DT co-ordinator of ID Chipboards sent me heaps of beautiful chipboards to play with. These are the pages I created of my special peeps, especially for the release. I did my usual Digital/Hybrid versions of each one and had so much fun using the gorgeous ID chipboards wow I love 'em especially the tinies they are great for tucking into those little voids that need filling!

This page is of my mum and I when I was 3. Mum is just so beautiful in these shots I can't help but scrap it over and over again, he he. Love you mum happy mothers day...everyday!

This one is of course all about my 'One of a Kind' little boy. I swear these photos were all taken in one short photography sesh. If there is one thing I would point out about parenthood is, seriously there is nothing that can prepare you for the wrath of a cranky toddler let alone a succession of emotions within a 5 minute time span. They can range from euphoric happiness to that scary monster/minion/dinosaur creature that lurks within your child! Most of the time I am in a spin as a parent but hey I wouldn't swap it for anything!

Lastly here is the last page I created for the release its using the double page sketch. I am having a bit of fun with the doubles lately but as you can see they are just as easily interpretted as a single page design too.  I love the versatility of sketches don't you?

TOGETHER... we have it all!

So so very excited to share with you my first DT design for Bird is the Word and this fortnights word reveal is 'TOGETHER'. Go check out all the particulars here. Its such a popular challenge site with often over 70 subs which amazes me, so I am itching to see what eye candy will be subbed this release!


Here is my page called 'Together...we have it all'.

I used an old October Afternoon PP, Basic Grey PP, Imaginarium Designs chippies, my all time fave Grafix Rub-Onz and of course lots of handmade fimo and glass cabachon embellies and finally a touch of lace (I don't usually go for lace, I hear some of you gasping, tee hee), but these purdy little lace flowers are simply gorgeous. Anyways you can get your hands on these goodies at Handmade Halo.


Thanks for stopping by and I hope you like my first DT page for BITW :)

CUDDLES...

Here's my entry for this months challenge at Scrap the Boys just loved the inspo so gave it a go!

I used the last of my stash of Imaginarium Designs cogs and gears set anxiety has set in so am going to have to make a wee purchase for some more and here was the inspo piccie just incase you want to give this months challenge a go!

Also thought I'd share that I am published in the current August Issue of SNR Magazine.

If you have a subscription check out the Strut your Stuff-Digital Section I think there are 6 layouts in this issue :)


Have a great day everyone, and thanks for stopping by xox

BECAUSE OF YOU DADDY

This month one of The Color Room sponsors are Imaginarium Designs a fabulous & relatively new company that designs chipboard accents. The DT's were all sent a bag full of goodies to play with and use on our pages.


This week I created a soft masculine page of my two boys called 'Because of you Daddy',

using the Imaginarium cog and gears chippies as elements(which come in 2 different size packs)and Palette#58 which comes from the sunroom, you can read about it here.

I also have been doing a bit of a catch up with the palettes, this is one I did a couple of weeks ago but forgot to post here.
Its called 'The tinniest thing...' and the colour palette#17 which I used for inspiration.

Hope you have a lovely lazy Sunday! xox
