Scrap the Boys DT call...

I have ben busy creating layout due for next month and nearly forgot about the design team call for http://scraptheboys.blogspot.com/, so we needed to do anything boy, with the word play and to use tape......
So after a very close call nearly missing the cut off date, this is what I created (the tape was masking tape which I just ran through the printer):

Purple Pumpkin...... Guest designer chance......

Over at Purple Pumpkin they are giving anyone a chance to become a guest designer, whether you use there products or not, which is great because I cant wait for there sale on Friday the 22nd July 7.30pm AEST, which will be my first purchase of there supper cute embellishments. All you have to do is create a layout, which got me motivated to find some mojo, and I am really happy with the results, all I need to complete the layout is a little button from http://purplepumpkincrafts.blogspot.com/.

A little bit Vintage..... or so I hope.

I must admit vintage is not my thing, not that I don't want it to be, I just cant wrap my head around it. I understand the colours and how to work with sepia tones however I think its the photos themselves. Its not because I don't love old photos, I love them and cherish them, I really do! Maybe this is the reason I cant wrap my head around them, I just don't want to stuff up a perfect photo....

Hence I found July's monthly challenge pack from http://madewithmemories.blogspot.com/ a struggle.....

Cosmo Cricket Odds& Ends, CC's colour picks, Maya Road Envelope,

Working Backwards!!!

So its been awhile since I have edited a photo which got me thinking that I should do that but what photo and then what would I do with that photo......

I am going to share with you my thought process, I had this beautiful paper, hot pink, black and white, really adult not for little baby girls and I really wanted to use it but if you know me I am always behind the camera so it cant be for a layout about me. Then I got thinking I have been with my partner for 10 years which has to be a milestone or something so I need to celebrate that in someway surely, so all I need a photo of the two of us, bonus I have one of those since my friend took some on my birthday this year, so that's off the list but I want to do a black and white photo and this is what you get..... me working backwards, and using hot pink on a photo with my partner ( who dare not complain that you cant use pink on a boys page, because he knows better).

Monthly challenges......

So I have been creating but it has been very slow and I do mean very slow. It being the end of the month a couple of things are due and as per lack of mojo I have just made it. The first one was the monthly challenge pack brought out by http://madewithmemories.blogspot.com/ and I was very excited to create with this pack, it had enough stuff in it to do multiple pages and for both boy and girl. I ended up do 2 layout and then had to decide which one, so this is the one that made the final cut;

Bazzill Cardstock, Jillibean Soup PP & Tags, doily, Twine, Paint
Well I also did another layout with the same techniques and challenge pack lets hope I have made the right decision.
