Serenity..

this weeks challenge at the boxx was by the amazing Danielle Q.. prompts.. painted altered background. and a transparency

although i didnt use alot of paint i did need it to change the background.. it was too white.. so added some blue..

the journalling

simple title.. Serenity... its well her name after all..

my use of the transparencys..

a flower created by me from paper doily sprayed with 2 glimmers and a Leeann Pearce button and doiley.. {reckon it came up nicely}


Isn't it funny that for some reason deep within your head when you are doing another super scrappers challenge you seem to channel that scrapper.. i can see so much Danielle in here yet a heap of me as well.. anyone else do that or am i just alittle wierd..oh hang on dont answer that i think i already know...
Anyho.. Ivy is in bed havin a sleep and Tarj is watching Charlie and Lola,, ps i love charlie and lola, so i think this calls for me to sneak into my room for a minute for alittle rest as well.. so i will see you all later.. thanks for stopping by and havin a little look see..

On Ya Bike...

okay so this is a little different for me..notice that the highest thing on this page is the chippy.. yep not one little piece of foam mount..unusual hey...
and it was also time to do a page or two on Tarj..{i can only show this one at the moment though}
found this funky Hambly screen transparency at a LSS that i hardly go to .. {and yes OMG funky stuff}

needed journalling and just wasnt sure where.. happy with my end choice..

my little man is always off in his own world even when riding his bike.

he is riding off into the sunset..LOL.. actually Julie Winks often has photos going off of the page so thanks Julie.. stole that idea..ZITCHES..

oh and couldnt resist.. a sneaky of my next Journal It CT layout..

got some The Chip Chop Shop from Leeann , i have been wanting them for ages but when i saw one IRL on a lo at the expo i KNEW i had to order it... so the cloud is hers and the rest is mine... {coming soon}... well maybe...

anyho i hope everyone is fantastic and i am really hoping to do another page tonight.. oh and thanks to those who told me to submit Your EYES had an email asking if it was still avaliable for publication..HELL YES>....

my 2 Beautiful nieces

so My eldest niece asked me to take some pics of some of the waterways in TMBA for an assignment at school... and the last stop was somewhere i'd never been before and PERFECT for teenage photos.. {only got a couple because as you can tell they WEREN'T in the mood for photos.. esp Serenity it was only 9:30 in the morning..LOL}


>


oh oh oh oh ... this wall thought LOUISE NELSON straight away so just had to take a pic.. {this is Tosharn.. the one i was taking the photos for}

these TWO girls are gorgeous.. they love the kids and keep them entertained whenever they visit.. and EVERY time i check out facebook Serenity is always on and always has a chat...
well thats it from me.. i have done an off the page but need to photo it tomorrow.. but i am working the night so i probably wont put it up until thursday.. so i hope that everyones week is going great and there is only a few more sleeps till the expo.. weekend.. sleep over.. scrap shopping, scrapping..and fun... and definately CHocolate..
WOoT WOot... yay

sneaky reveal..

i just cant keep it a secret any longer.. this is my lastest for JOURNAL IT.. the prompt was CELEBRATION..
super cute layered lil red rocket butterfly.... {curled the wings on the top layer for something different}

lifted this idea from the awesome Gilly Lester...

the flowers on the side needed something different..so covered them with a few coats of dimensional magic.. {looks better IRL.. darn IVy breaking my lens}the bird bath.. needed alittle extra..so added the beads for water and highlighted it abit more with some black pen..


thanks for popping by..
happy days and heaps of sugar everyone..

oh and Ivy update.. her collar bone whilst looking TERRIBLE on the latest xray is actually healling even though it is now that one side is sitting up on the other.. dr said that over the next three months it should fix itself.. fingers crossed.. but it doesnt seem to worry her or anything.. so heres to lots and lots of milk for strong bones and tough teeth...

also dont forget my giveaway.. {see my giveaway in the labels..}

cheers for now..
