Engagement card

I don't really make many cards.  The odd one here and there for kids birthday parties, but my cousin is engaged and I thaught i would use the inspiration from the card Queen Natalie May and make a fold out card and the inspiration from the fabulous shabby chic Steph Devlin (Lucky me to have both these inspirational people as my teachers) to design the card itself.  This together with my scraps, I acheived this card to celebrate my cousins engagement:

Soccer scrap the boyz!

Another soccer LO done, the scrap the boys challenged me to complete the 4th of the 6 LO which are needed for Chet this year.  I am really happy with how it turned out, just needing my son to hand write his stats on the tag.  I used paer from a soccer pack I purchased containing paper, embelishments, ribbons and words.  I first used a chicken wire template as a stamp which reminded me of the goal nets around the edge of the paper.  The school banner and flags represent the school teams colours and made my own tags so that Chet could record some fun stats to look back on.  Again these were done with the chicken wire template one stamping the image the other using as a mask and filling in template with distressed ink.

Scrap my Boy!

 Renton, my youngest just loves animals.  From dogs to the creepy crawlies, anything he can touch and love.  He was in awe of the green caterpillar we found hiding on the tomato plant and just had to have a closer look.
For this page I used the Bug a Boo collection in the Adorn it paper range.  I dirtied up the page by stamping the edges and using a mask with stamps and glimmermisting over the page.  I embelised the page using bugs cut from the paper which are raised to different levels and the twine is stapled onto the paper (using green staples).

Renton also turned 6 this year and had his first birthday party with his friends.
Here I used the Lets celebrate range from Websters papers.  To embelish I cut our the balloons and raised the top half, created my own flags, and used stickers and doodling around the page.
