We're Baaaack!! :)

We arrived home last night! I am soo happy to be sleeping in my own bed again. Now I just have to tackle Mt Washmore. :( But we had such an awesome time - the kids had a ball and were all so well behaved. They are totally exhausted though. I will post some pics of our trip once I get a chance to upload them. And now onto some challenges. April's challenge at Scrap The Girls is to draw inspiration from this pic:
This is what I have come up with. My apologies for the dodgy pic - I had to photograph it in a hurry before we left and of course it was overcast!


I drew inspiration from the tree, butterfly and birds in the picture. I've used lots of misting and some yummy crochet trims and circles from the Chip Chop Shop. :)


I gave my I-top another whirl and covered this brad with hessian. And keeping with my theme of using up old stuff in my stash, I have added the green ribbon. ;)


And for this months challenge at Kraft It Up it's a 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 challenge, you must create a layout based on the following...

1 piece of Kraft cardstock 2 photos smaller than 6x4 3 different Alphas 4 different patterned papers (yes you can use the reverse side of one sheet as long as the pattern is different) 5 different embellishments


** Paint, Mists, Distressing and any other technique based creating are not classed as embellishments, you can still use these of course but they do not count as your 5 embellishments, you need to think chipboard, ribbon, twine, journal blocks, flowers, buttons, jewels/bling, pins, tapes, stickers, handmade embellishments, paper clips, lace, tabs, diecuts etc...


And this is what I have come up with:


I've used a mix of October Afternoon 'Modern Homemaker', 'Farm Fresh' and 'Campfire' on this one. I didn't take any close up pics - sorry.


I can't wait to see what everyone comes up with for both challenges this month. Thanks so much for stopping by...
