It’s the little things

 
Today you are you- that is truer than true; there is no one alive who is youer than you” – Dr. Seuss.
These photos are of a cyber/scrapper friend who simply adores Dr.Seuss and while in NZ a few years ago, I sent her this “Cat in the Hat” soft toy. 
At the time I asked her to take these photos so ‘one day’ I would scrap them.  Anyways, Sam’s blog inspired me when pondering the ‘black, red & white’ criteria for “Sarah’s After 5” challenge over at Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia’s May Life in full Colour Cyber Crop and I’m hoping Sam will be as happy as I am with the result.
 
 
Supplies used:
Rachelle Minett designs chipboard title; Bo Bunny (enchanted) and Bella Boulevard (the littlest things) pps; Bazzil cardstock; Prima vintage trinket; Cat in the Hat ribbon; Lizyjose on Zibbett bling trim; Want 2 scrap flourish; EK Success punches; Kaiser & Manor House Creations flowers; Dylusions stencil; Glimmer mist (lobster); Momento (lady bug), Adirondack (earthtones) & VersaMark Dazzle (champagne) inks; red pearl and black Utee; Helmar adhesives; staples; black gel pen
Thanks so much again for popping over here....have a great week, huge hearts 'n' hugs Mazz xxx

Mini Olympics


You’re a star – Robin Summer 1988/9 Vacation Care, Waverley Public School NSW
Some of you may have seen this on face book when it was just a ‘base’ using (believe it or not lol) Pink Paislee Secret Crush paper.

The background alpha is made from a Dylusions stencil and Jo Sonja’s’ paints. 

 It was so bold and funky I just had to white wash it with watered-down (Kaiser) white paint, so the photo didn’t just fade away. 
Anyways, I decided on the black c/stock dry embossed with a bricks template.  The remainder is made from ‘stash’ items – including the “you’re a star” dye from Lizzy Hill and the gorgeous blue and brown layered star (top left) from Cassandra Highet in the same swap.

 
I’ve created this LO for the “MayLife In Full Colour Cyber Crop” over at  Scrapbooking Top 50 Australia “Kids at play”challenge. The photo is of a group of 5/6 year olds, including DS ‘aka Blue’ during his summer Vacation care 1988/9.
 Naturally I’ve been meaning to scrap this, among 1000’s of other old ones, for ages, and I’m this challenge seemed the right one – especially as it has both the “ABC” and the “123” criteria in addition to the four colours - red, blue, green & yellow.

I chose this challenge first out of the four because its being sponsored by my ‘home away from home’ aka Scrapping Outback.  They have such an awesome, versatile range of supplies I just couldn’t resist the chance to win some (more) for free LOL.

 

Supplies used:

PinkPaislee (♥ notes) & Simple Stories papers; GlimmerMist (Walnut gold); Kaiser and Echo Park dyes; my2angels & Rainbow splendour stars; Brilliance inks (rocket red, lime, sunflower yellow); misc. chipboard c/b stars, cogs & alpha title; Helmar adhesives.

Its back to work for me tomorrow after a week in bed with 'flu :(    Well at least I got thinking even if I didn't get much crafting LOL.  I'm looking forward to sharing more with you later in the week.

PRECIOUS Memories

PRECIOUS loved and treasures MEMORIES
I’ve created this LO for the May challenge over at OrangePaperie & Co, where the criteria is monochromatic and ‘negative' space.
This was really tough for me, as you can imagine, since I just want to fill up as much space as possible on a page LOL
I’ve tried to keep to the ‘burnt’ orange/rustic brown colours – blending Old Rose versa colour and Tim’s tea dye (note the orange hue) distress inks round the edges and over the stencil. (Thanks Rach for the idea in SO’s class last week
Other supplies used:
Bo Bunny (Little Miss) pps; my2angels bird on a swing charm, Rustic Brown Precious Memories Charming Buttons and gardenias; Finnabair metal flowers; Martha Stewart edge punch; Crafter’s Workshop reverse chicken wire stencil; ribbons; Helmar adhesives.


Thanks to the team over at Orange Paperie for the awesome challenge; thanks all for popping over xxx  Hugs ‘n’hearts xxx Mazz xxx

Quote of the Day

butterfly kisses

My fairy

Your fairy is called Columbine Goblinglitter
She is a bringer of riches and wealth.
She lives in mushroom fields and quiet meadows.
She is only seen in the light of a shooting star.
She wears lilac and purple like columbine flowers. She has gentle green wings like a butterfly.
