Brown Sugar Challenge #53

Oh my goodness can you believe its Friday already and to crown it off were into another new month, this year if just flying past.

Friday again which means another new challenge from



Our theme for this week is 

Friendship





This week I have done another layout of one of my children.  This is Katie with her friend at a 
party, they had just got their faces painted and they were very giddy.  Katie was only 5 here and they were the best of friends and they still are.  The have gone from playgroup to primary to secondary school together so you could say the title is appropriate so far. I used a piece of 12 x 12 
yellow card stock and I cut two strips of pastel green card and punch two strips of pink and placed on top.
I used a digi stamp from our sponsors and enlarge it onto white card and used distress ink to give it some colour.  I put together some flowers and used black gem swirls and some gems to embellish.



Sponsors are

Digi Darla

Brown Sugar Challenge #51 - card one

First can I apologise but I can't seem to get links to work on my iPad or if I would tell the truth I don't know how to do it, so please forgive me.

It's hard to believe its Friday again and as Im sitting beside the pool in sunny Salou  as the kids are splashing about and the hubby lying sleeping I am writing up this post for Brown Sugar Challenge #51.


The theme is - Anything Goes


For this card again I used some spotted paper which I received with a magazine which I matted onto pink card.  Then i placed a piece of ribbon over the middle of this and took a piece of blue check paper also free from a magazine matted onto yellow card and placed it to the left side of the card on top of the of first layers.  My image is from the paper nest dolls and is coloured in with promakers, matted onto a piece of pink card from my stash and placed towards the right side of the card.  The sentiment is from lily of the valley and mounted onto a pink scallop circle.

This card is in the shape of a easel card, s standard a6 size.

my stash of scraps.

with promarkers and mounted it onto a pink base, which was cut with a spellbinder die -
A2 card creator - polka dots and used my hot glue gun to attach the flowers. To hold the easel
part upright I used a piece of pink ribbon about one and half inch wide with a piece of ribbon on top

Brown Sugar Challenge #49



Oh my were into a new month and a new Brown Sugar Challenge.


This week has been a little challenging for me as I lost my son to 3 days trekking over the Sperrin mountains for his Silver Duke of Ed.  He left on Tuesday and the weather was awful it rained heavy all day and he said it was really hard, but thankfully hes home all in one peace but really tired and sore.  Ok that's enough of me wittering on ...

Our theme for this weeks challenge is 

Beach




My project for this week is another layout.  This photo was taken last year in Florida when we visited Discovery Cove to swim with the dolphins.  The picture was taken in the beach area where you could snorkel in among the fish, there was all sorts all size.  There was the biggest stingray fish I ever saw, I didn't like them much.  Oh I'm wittering on again, right let me tell you what I did before I get sidetracked again.

I used a plain piece of blue card from my stash and a piece of DCWV paper from my stash.I matted the photo onto a piece of blue card the same of the background and then onto a piece of yellow card.  I used some sticker embellishments and finally a digital image from Digi Darla Designs.  My image is Digidarlas Snorkling.
I coloured him in with promarkers and cut around the image, it came along with little bubbles which I used clear dew drops to highlight and cut the little fish out and stuck it to the side.  I thought the image was just right to go with my photo.
