Week 5-My Scraproom Rules !!!

“Those who bring SUNSHINE to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves” J.M. Barrie

My Scraproom Rules - Scrapping Outback - Week 5 criteria was a 'blind' recipe...Rachelle Minette set the challenge, based on an amazing LO she had created of her daughter. We did not get to see her whole LO until the finish of the challenge, and the winners we so close it was remarkable. (look at the gallery here) In addition to Rach's challenge, I've also been working on the 'masterchef' tutorial LO's. (The masterchef classes were held over various Friday nights and we will be elegible for points if we participate /complete the layouts. I will post mine at a later date.)
Here is my week 5 LO: “Those who bring SUNSHINE to the lives of others cannot keep it from themselves” quote by J.M. Barrie.

I should say here that my granddaughter Paige truly brings sunshine to me and to others, through her naturally beautiful smile and down to earth personality. The photo was taken by Toni Geater, at Arkles Bay, North of Auckland, March 2007 and it was a wonderfully sunshiny day during our mini vacation. the close-ups are below, you may notice that I’ve embossed and inked the leaves. I also couldn’t resist adhering 3 tiny butterflies (to match the “tattoo” on Paige’s arm LOL).

In addition to all above, I'm ernestly looking for 'PAID' work - to enable to maintain this hobby in the way that I am accustomed :) I dont think it is as simple as the 'good ol' days', so I think it will take longer than I had hoped ... oh well, more time for creating :) I hope you're all having a great week - albeit cold here in Beenleigh, the sun is shining and there isn't a cloud in the sky .

My Scraproom Rules....

MSR competition over at Scrapping Outback...Actually I really dont think my scraproom does rule because I also use the loungeroom coffee table and 1/2 of our dining table to create LOL Well, I can hardly believe we are about to start the 6th and last week of this awesome, fun and challenging competition. I know my DH will not miss it as I've been more in love with my pps and tools than him lately LOL. I, on the other hand, realise that this will be my last week of 'full time' scrapping for quite a while - due to the fact that I really MUST find a job, and spend time on 'other' priorities for a while....oh, back to YOU, as promised here is a snapshot of the mini mini album I created for week 4. The front cover is fancy cut from "Once Upon a Springtime" G45 pps left overs from week 1.

The Chipboard titles are all Dusty Attic.

The first page is DS#1 and his partner and MY beautiful grandchildren. Did you notice that the album is completely made from flattened Toilet Paper (TP) rolls? Inside the pages (TP rolls) there are mini tags that I stamped, embossed and adhered some of my fave quotes.

I was inspired by an album I saw ages ago, and then I found this tutorial - just click on the link if you would like to see how I collated it. I've just finished my week 5 LO and also 2 (out of 3) of the 'masterchef' classes, so I will upload them for you next week. Meantime, have a great day. Thanks for poppin' in.TFLxxx
