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.
