Smooch (or should that be Caught?)

Smooch Christmas 2009

Happy Sunday afternoon...

Just in case you're wondering my Mum and Dad don't usually ''smooch'' in public LOL So this occasion was particularly hilarious!!!

Everyone laughed and laughed so heartily... and I can only laugh when I remember...and think how lucky I am that this memory was captured on camera...and now I'm glad to say it's scrapped as well ;)

I've entered September 2015's WW1 challenge again, keeping to the colour 'antique moss' as closely as possible.

 I think it's a fairly dull lime colour. You'll see I've used a lot of Resin Rainbow pieces - these were just as fun to use, as the photos

Supplies Used:
Scrapping Outback Cardstock (white)
The Resin Rainbow enamel dots, zentangles, leaves, floral borders, resin roses and small butterfly.

Lindy's Stamp Gang (LSG) starburst mist & embossing powder (Drop Dead Gorgeous Green)
LSG Flat Fabio  (Luscious Lime)
Luster Rub-ons (apple green)
A2Z chipboard title (Smooch)

from stash: white paper and crochet doilies, white flowers and leaves

Thank you so much for popping over to my blog today. I hope you have a great week ahead....looking forward to another exciting month of colours and challenges in October, that I can't believe is only sleeps to go LOL

Everybody LOVES Raymond {the Koala}

Hi there friends,

This month's colours (lime/green with small amounts of lemon & orange!)  over at the Scrapping Outback White With a Twist challenge were definitely a toughie for me; However, once I'd decided to share what I call a 'lucky' day it became easier -  because of Raymond the Koala's blanket colour lol

Raymond is one 'lucky' Koala - weighing just 260 grams when he was found in 2012 abandoned beside a road west of Brisbane, lying to his dead mother. He was taken to a shelter and when we saw him in June 2013, he was having a cuppa with his carer in a local shopping centre.

Here is the link (http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2543358/Plucky-little-marsupial-seriously-ill-dead-mother-thrives-nursed-health.html ) of some professional photos that are heaps better than my smart phone 'impromptus'

He was just lovely and when I asked the carer how he got his name, she just smiled and said "everybody loves Raymond" .. .makes sense he was so cute holding the teaspoon while he drank his tea LOL
and here's the whole LO :)

Supplies:

• Scrapping Outback Cardstock (white)
• Manor House Creations flowers
• Prima Marketing adhesive chipboard & flowers 
• art Extravagance Texture Crackle paste
• Viva Inka Gold (jade)
• Ranger Glimmer Mist (key lime pie)
• WOW Alta 111 template
• Lindy's Stamp Gang Flat Fabio (luscious lime)
• Rub-on koala
• Spanish moss
• gold tissue paper
• Kaiser texture stamp
• VersaColor Ink
• green masking tape (from dlh's stash LOL)
• Resin Rainbow 'dots' 
• my2angels teapot pin and spoon charm
• little wooden Koala is from The Woodcraft Gallery - I also used these in 3 canvases that appear in my blog header

 

until next time.... Mazz xxx

 

totally cute...

 

Hi all, I realise it's very late and I think this entry will only just make the time limit, however, I started this LO on the weekend and I was determined to get it finished in time!!!
  I took this photo of a cute little Tasmanian Bettong when on holiday in Tasmania during Christmas 2013. 
  When I saw the August Dusty Attic (DA) inspiration board challenge, with the gorgeous Autumn colours, I jumped at the chance to scrap it - using the beautiful Couture Creations papers along with an EK Success punch, representing the natural rustic feel in the LO.

  I started off by 'experimenting' to see what would happen when I used the Dusty Attic chipboard trellis as a stencil; rubbing over it with glass bead glitter gel with a finger violet Inka-Gold...I thought it just a little too much for my photo so toned down with a dabber of mustard seed distress paint. I then added some shabby muslin coloured with Lindy's Stamp Gang (LSG) Moon shadow Mist.

  To draw attention to of the cute little guy hiding in the pipe, and attempting to represent the dry rustic nature of the enclosure, I snipped around the #DA0821 chipboard, coloured it with Rusty Brown ink and adhered the edging to the photo.

***NB*** Unfortunately the place I buy most of my supplies (Scrapping Outback)  owner and talented Rachelle is having huge issues with the SO website at the moment so I wasn't able to get the links...so if you'd like ANY of the supplies I've used, please contact  Rachelle via Facebook.  TIA.
