Scrapbudz- October Challenge

This is my first time playing along with the Scrapbudz monthly challenge!

The inspiration had to come from this photo, and you had to use cream or latte cardstock.

I took my inspiration from the colours (red, green & cream), the round elements of the photo and the leaves!

These  gorgeous embellishments were hand made by Carol Meade and are available from her Etsy shop!  All the details are in the Tattered Inspiration blog!

"Family" Tutorial using MME Lost & Found 2

Today I have another tutorial to share with you over at the Scrapbook Boutique blog!

This one uses the My Minds Eye Lost and Found 2 "Rosy" papers, and trim, as well as a Fiskars Border punch, Tim Holtz distress ink, and xpress it tape.

Head on over to the shop to get your supplies, and then the blog for all the step-by-step instructions. Blessings,

White with One

Another first time entry for me!  This time it's the "White with One" challenge!

I have often looked at the challenges at White with one, but been to scared to try them!  This month's challenge of "White with Black and paint/mist" really had me stepping outside my comfort zone (I really struggle with "wet" mediums like paint and mist!!) but I was determined to give it a try!

I painted the edges of the cardstock, and slapped some paint on bubble wrap and placed it on the cardstock.  I also misted the handmade flowers using some new Vanilla Smooch Spritz!

Stuck?! Sketches

Here is my entry for the October 1st Stuck! Sketch.  

 I used Crate paper and hand made the accordian embellishments!

Purple Pumpkin October Sketch

This is my entry for the October Purple Pumpkin sketch challenge.  I have used Echo Park "Playground" papers, and lots of Purple Pumpkin embellishments!

I adore all the handmade embellishments available from Purple Pumpkin, but without a doubt, the spotty buttons are my favourite!  I need them in every colour I think!!

We, who are many, are one body in Christ

I have waited for ages to find the right sketch to use to scrap these special photos, and the Handmade by Suzanne sketch for October was perfect!

I indulged my love of fussy cutting with these gorgeous "enchanted gardens" My Little Shoebox papers (gosh I am soooo in love with MLS!)

The title is a biblical verse from Romans 12:5.

I tried my hand at some altered candles for a new tutorial over at the Scrapbook Boutique Blog.

For these 3 candles I have used the My Minds Eye "Lost and Found 2", Breeze papers and for the candle above I added some of the Breeze trim, and a Flourish with a Bling vine.

The striped cadle also uses some of the My Minds Eye "Lost and Found 2" Rosy crocheted lace,

The papers and trims are adhered to the candles using x-press it tape, and pritt gel.
