Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge #20 Creation...a bit late!!

Running a bit behind schedule sorry...anyway for this challenge I chose Concord Crush as my colour to add to Black and Vanilla cause it is a bit purple...a bit blue...and just plain pretty!! Her is my creation and a couple of close up piccies, enjoy!





It finally dawned on me this morning that Circle Circus would be perfect for this layout...so while my Dad had oral surgery..I finished decorating my page!

Don't forget to check out what Rach and Maree have created and see what colour they chose to add in!
Have a great Monday xox

This week we are using yet another sketch by the talented Becky Fleck! This one is from her PageMaps book which is chockfull of great layout and card sketches:-


Our Colour Combination this week is to use Basic Black, Very Vanilla, and one other colour of our choice; as well as any stamps and embellishments we wish to use.


I can't wait to see what colours we choose and how different our creations may or may not be!! Check out what Rach, Maree and I come up with next Monday.  Have a great week everyone xoxo

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge Creation #19

Our challenge this week was to use the gorgeous Nursery Nest paper pack in the current Stampin Up IB&C with this lovely layout by Becky Fleck:


This kind of came together quickly for me with a little bit of help from Mz Maree!!

Long story... Maree runs a Stamp Club scrabooking group with some friends and as you can see from this post here they do some wonderful projects. Well I join in on a Thursday during the day (blessed that I can share craft time with lovely ladies) and I did the club layout for my daughter and eldest son. Having not yet done a page for my baby boy this weeks challenge was a perfect opportunity to complete the set, so I did!

Here is Benny in all his cuteness:


Cheeky little monkey....lucky it was birds on the paper!!  And a closeup of some of the birdies...


I will finish off the pages for Amy and Josh and post them too - soon!! I love that Perfect Plum can be a boy colour, thats just tops!!

Don't forget to jump on over to Rach and Maree to see the inspiring creations they have for this challenge....although Rach has been busy with her Girl's Night In weekend - Mums, kids everyone was scrap scrap scrappin and making cards this weekend - so our beautiful friend might be resting today and thats ok 'cause she can xoxo

Have a great Monday everyone xox
