This week we are doing another Colour and Sketch combo from The Colour Room:

Here is a close-up of the sketch -

Can’t wait to see how this challenge turns out Adele n Maree!

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 11- My Creation

Well, there's a story behind this one! I raced ahead and finished my layout and stuck the horses on thinking I would put photos of Tim and I when we went on a rainforest horse riding adventure in queensland back in 1993.........I dug out my old albums, and found THE PHOTO- that's right there was only one, and it was taken back in the day when the camera had no zoom, and I was so small in the photo it looked like it had been taken from a plane flying overhead! As we are not really a horse-riding type of family, I found photos of the next best thing- horses on a merry-go-round at Dreamworld! Don't forget to check out Adele and Maree's creations and have a fabulous week!

This week we are doing another sketch challenge combined with the colours Really Rust, Creamy Caramel and Sage Shadow (all now retired).  We are also all using the same papers from the retired ‘Outlaw’ dsp pack and the retired stamp set Wanted......so I guess this week we are having an all round RETIRED PRODUCT Challenge.

The sketch we will use is another lovely one from the talented Becky Fleck – this is designed as an 8 ½ “ x 11” layout but can easily be adapted to 12”x12”.

Can’t wait to see how these layouts turn out Adele n Maree!

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 10- My Creation

 Well I must say I really enjoyed having the chance to do something girly, but had to go back to 2002 to find photos that were girly enough! This layout showcases my wonderful cousins and gorgeous god-daughter who just celebrated her 18th Birthday! She is every bit as gorgeous as she was then and has grown into a beautiful young woman with a heart of gold! I have watercoloured this one, and have put a photo both with and without flash, but I think neither of them do it justice- it looks much better in real life! Hope you like it...

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 10

Wow, we have hit the 10th challenge!! How cool is that!  And to celebrate we have a extra special treat!

This week we are doing a sketch/colour challenge from the clever girls at ‘The Colour Room’.  This gorgeous sketch by Lydell Quin and the soft feminine colours will make for some beautiful layouts I am sure.

Here is a closer look at the layout sketch:

I just love the presentation of sketches by these talented girls, the palette is beautiful and so inspiring.

If you are interested in playing along but don’t want to do a scrap layout, Lydell also has a card sketch to match:

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 9- My Creation

I chose the Pacific Point, So Saffron and Tangerine Tango colour combo, and thought it just screamed the beach! So I created a "Just Beachy" layout using the "Just Beachy" Stampset and co-ordinating Summer wheel. I know exactly which photos I will put on this one- Max and Zach playing at Brunswick Head Beach when we visited my brother and Sister-in-law: I just need to get them printed! Hope you like it!
