NZ Dare # 35

This is my take on dare 35, the photos we took when our kids were small seam to be small and usually at a distance. I love these photos of my son as they show his facial expressions.He really was so irresistable as a baby .

Well this is the very first Lay Out i did, i remember spending hours humming and haring lol as first layouts go i guess its not to bad , it looks better here than in real life as you can see the white edges around all the cut outs (i didn't know about inking then) This was a pack i brought at spot light the frames were already cut.

Well iv been out all day today, it was my birthday yesterday!! yes older but wiser lol
The girls at work had got together and gave me a lovely card and 3 bages of lolies as i have a very bad habit of geting lolies at work, i call them stress relif pills. For dinner i had
a very yummy omlet with bacon and mushrooms, then bigest pancake you ever did see,it was follded over with a hug lump of ice cream and a big bloob of cream, the center was filled with slithers of some sort of soft nut and fresh strawberrys with a yummy sauce it was devine,
but very bad for the waist lol.
Today i went cloths shoping then down to portwaikato beach and spent the day with family and friends, we had a HUGE amount of food, loads of salads, whitebait fritters,musscles,prawns,BBQ
meats,fresh palter of fruiet and nuts,mum made a lovely cake for me and my sister did the food.
So this weekend i think i have eaten in 2 days what i would normally eat in a week! I will post
a pic later

Beautiful Sonia

I submitted this layout to up2scrap magazine, the call was for a layout about a scrapbooking friend, I was thrilled when it was accepted.
I meet Sonia on the message board in trade me, she was so bubbly and full of life so you can imagine my surprise when i found out she was going through chemo for cancer.This LO is deducted to her as she was the person who inspired me to scrapbook. Sadly Sonia lost the battle , If you wont inspiration read her web site,this is my thank you to her.

PISCES

Ok heres what i did with the photo i altered for NZ Dares

Felt

Now here's an awesome tip, i saw this on another scrapbooking site and wondered why i hadn't

thought of it my self.

Use you adheased felt flowers and boarders as stamps, cut pieces of and stick to your stamping block, gives a great effects and is a very cheap quick way to do something different with out

spending loads on stamps. I will have to look at other things i could use, I'm sure theres other

things.

Altering photos

I have had so much fun playing with photos i thought i would share some with you.
The top photo of my son i altered then added it to a back ground and faded the edges so
it would blend in with the moon, i call this on "MAN IN THE MOON" lol
The bottom one i added a rainbow and a pattered fade around the edges.
You can add any back ground you like
I did these using the free trial, if you would like to have a play go to this link
http://www.picget.net/dl-photo-editor/what.html Theres so many different
things you can do.
Now i have done a few the next steep in to get busy scraping them,but first i am going
to have a big sort out and reorganise my stash, i have brought some new containers and
a trolley with 5 large shelves, it also has wheels.
Would love to see your lay out if you use the photo editor.
thanks for visiting

This is the original photo

I did this on white card, i used an altered photo, chipboard stars and swirl,a journaling stamp and felt flowers. I went with plain card because the photo is so busy and didn't wont to detract from that.

i wonted this
to look old and washed out, these are the girls at
work, we wore our whitches hats all day for halloween,I used basic grey paper, chip board scroll cloured with black chalk ink, then glued
wee star sequins to it, but they dont show to
well here, the cat is cut from black card stock
and i used 2 diamenties for eyes,the letters
are also basic grey with sequins doted around it,
bottom left courner is a stamp.

This is the photo before i altered it
