Feb Scrap the Girls

I have been wanting to play along with the scrap the girls challenges for a couple of months now, but as usual, life has just been getting in the way.  But last night I had some time to scrap the Feb challenge, which is a sketch challenge.

Here is the sketch.....

and here is my take on the sketch.....

Pic is a group of work friends on our trip to Sydney late last year (I'm not in the pic, as I was the one behind the camera for the weekend....nothing new there!  lol)   We had just finished our Limo tour around Sydney & dropped off at the Opera House for dinner & to go see the ballet when they spotted this Fire & Rescue truck....They all though it was great fun posing in front of it - even the firies got out of the truck & were taking photos of them.  hahhaha.  It was a top weekend!

This next LO is for the Feb sketch at Handmade by Susanne

(oops, forgot to put a pic of the sketch....but you can check it out here)

This is the same weekend as the LO above.....just a different night.  Before going on our Showboat cruise, we stopped off at a bar in Darling Harbour for a cocktail....or two.  The one I had was called "The Italian Job".  My gosh it was super yummy!

And this last LO was for a challenge over at Red Earth Scrapping - to have journaling straight on your photo.

Coincidently....another pic from the weekend in Sydney with the girls from work.  Pic taken of Luna Park as we sailed past on the Showboat cruise. 

TFL & thanks for visiting my lil ol blog :)

Feb 15th Stuck?! Sketch....

I can finally share my 15th Feb Stuck?! sketch, as my intro & layout have now been put up on the Stuck?! blog.  Toot Toot!  lol

Here is the sketch in question......

and do you remember this little sneaky peek?

It is a close up from my Stuck?! layout.

and here is the complete LO......

I love the colours in this....& the photo.  We had such a great time dressing up as pirates on our cruise last year.....as you can see!  LOL

Thanks for visiting....and another big thanks for all the fantastic comments that my readers have been leaving - they are very much appreciated :)

Keep checking back on the Stuck?! blog as the rest of the new CT are introduced!

Hope everyone has a top weekend :)

Feb White with 1

This months challenge at WW1 is White, Brown & something vintage.

Here is what I came up with....love this colour combo & criteria :)

I have used a few vintagey items....the Maya Road envelope at the left of the photo....a crochet doiley cut from an old crochet runner....& the Kaiser vintage birdcage.  And I guess the Lovely Bug Bits n Bobs buttons would fit into the vintage catergory as well. (these were part of my recent prize from Sue - I loved them so much, I just had to order some more!)

Thanks for dropping by & happy scrapping :)
