Candy's Handmade Creations

For this sketch challenge also from http://prima.typepad.com/  I have turned the sketch sideways     I was only 12 years of age in this photo all dressed up for my end of year 7 fancy dress ball held at Yeppoon Town Hall.   I have used Prima Leeza Gibbons collection wishes and dreams again, the optimist and hope blooms. Assorted prima flowers and embellies. A hand crocheted doily, white ink and I splattered with some white spray.   Here is the sketch     

This was a great challenge just loved using the colours it comes from http://prima.typepad.com /   Tracy and I were driving around Gladstone where we lived and went up to Auckland Hill for a look. The background is overlooking the Gladstone Harbour.  It was a beautiful sunny day and I just enjoyed my time with my daughter. Here is my take on the colour scheme.   Here I have used Prima Leeza Gibbons Wishes and Dreams Collection - Invincible and sweet dreams I have also used assorted Prima flowers and embellies. Black cardstock and shimmerz mist - 24 karat and sea foam. I have a tag behind the photo with my journaling on.      

This challenge comes from http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com and also http://scrap365.blogspot.co.uk/  You have to follow the  colour scheme and evidence and also the testimony.   I have once again used Prima paper - Leeza Gibbons design Wishes and Dreams Perserve, sweet dreams and things to come papers. I have also used assorted prima flowers and embellies. The colour scheme consisted of- bright teal, off white, bright yellow, deep sage green and light sky blue. The evidence I used stripes, metal and photo corner and for the testimony I have journaled across three labels.   

This is a very colourful pallet  as well, I have used a lovely border punch, texture paste and some sprays. This come from http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com     Here is the colour pallet we had to use: I have used the colours and for the evidence I used a tag, decorative border, buttons, string and a frame. For the testimony I used cursive writing for my journaling.  

Once again I scrapbooked at Alicia's house last Sunday and going through her old stuff I found this paper it was bright and cheerful just like my Grandma. This sketch comes from http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/  and we also had to use the wording "I will never forget" so here goes.....   Here is the sketch   Not sure where the paper comes from but just loved the colours and being so bright and cheerful just like Grandma. The verse says I will never forget you Grandma, your wise words and love will stay with me forever.

Once again we left on Thursday 1st August for our yearly scrapbook retreat at Coolwaters  Holiday Village in Yeppoon. We left the shop in a convoy, the truck full to the brim with the shop and a number of cars and a ute towing a caravan (which was me) where I met up with Jo already scrapping to her hearts content as she had been there all week lucky devil..... We all unloaded and set up the shop and the scrapping room, with the stragglers coming in to set themselves up at their seats. We scrapped all day Friday, Saturday and till 4pm Sunday and late into the night and early morning for some. Then it was time to pack up and head home. What a terrific time we had, lovely company, food was great and not much sleep but a lot of fun. These are a few things I created while I was there. Also did a class with Alicia on Saturday. Here are a couple of bird cages I decorated. First one I put a photo of Laurie and I in it and heaps and heaps of flowers all are Prima flowers out of my flower...
