October 1st Sketch over at STUCK?!

Just had enough light to get these photos of my take on the October 1st sketch at STUCK?!

A very dull and dreary day here nothing for it but to scrap..... yay.....! Apologies for the dark photos the weather was not being kind!

So here is my take, sort of stuck to the sketch but I just cannot seem to do white space too well!

 Yep my nieces again getting lots of value from this set of photos, my girlie fix!

Used a stencil from Prima and cut out the centers of 2 doilies to make a mask and a Martha Stewart punch formed the third mask.

 Lots of misting, could not make up my mind on the main colour as the photo was kinda' dark. Got Mums daisy thingy out again, just love doing them, almost makes me want to try my hand at something a little more difficult for that homemade look. Perhaps a bit of crochet????

 The alphas and frame "bits" are from ScrapFX and are actually two border pieces I matched up. They do have an awesome frame to go with these pieces but it was a little big for the photo.

And lastly a little tear for a bit of a cluster and I am done

I hope everyone has a great weekend, 

Thanx so much for dropping by!!!!

August challenge at "Stuck"

Back again with my first ever entry over at Stuck. I just saw the sketch and instantly knew I had to give it a go: 

 

And here 'tis, apologies for the crappy photo, action shots are pretty awkward at times, but I so wanted to do a LO of my little Action Man!!!! So this is for the sentiment rather than for a cool photo.

First I misted over a prima mask with 2 colours  then used my go to background stamp, that you would probably spot on all of my latest LO's ( I know I am fixated on it a little) and roughly dabbed it all over the place for a random feel. I ripped up some scraps I had, (don't we all?) Then combined the strips with some of that totally awesome tissue tape that looks "hot" no matter where it goes!

Added some misted, scrunched  muslin for texture then played with some ScrapFX chippies. I have had the Title for so long (bonding) had to use it but wanted to rough it up a little, so after inking I simply gave it a bit of a sand and it got all grungy round the edges, perfect!
The reedy flourishy thingy (technically speaking), is a new product and I just love that it is not too girly, perfect for the boys!!!

 Added some of what I call Boy flowers, can never go past a bit of twine!

 A bit of journalling, and some more muslin here and there and all is complete, probably one of the quickest LO's I have ever done, I just knew exactly what I wanted to do, if only all pages I start flowed so easily!!!

Well that is all till next time, have no idea what to do next, may even surprise myself!!
