Autumn Scrapbook Page

I am so thrilled to have won the August challenge of Flowers at Addicted to Stamps, thanks to the design team.  This is my entry for the September challenge which is AUTUMN. The last two days here in UK it has rained and been cold enough for winter, never mind autumn. I feel we missed having summer, I'm sure hoping we aren't going to miss Autumn too. Back to my LO page, please say Hello to Jordan, my second oldest grandson, though I admit this was taken some years ago when he was much younger for he will shortly be 17. The pocket at the top right holds a tag with the journalling of who, where, what, when and why, which I think are essential on a scrapbook LO. The leaves have been mostly stamped onto handmade(bought) papers, to give a mixture of textures and colours, with a few fancy buttons scattered around. The Definition of Autumn - on the tree trunk is from DCWV (Die Cuts With a View). 

It's Bingo Time Again

Addicted to Stamps are currently hosting their Bingo challenge I'm cutting it fine, but firstly hummed and hawed about which line to take.  Please pop over for they are having a DT call too.I eventually decided upon the diagonal line from top left to bottom right. SCORE - FREE - I chose EMBELLISHMENTS and PURPLE. I made a stepper card, the papers are from a Daydreamer pad. The fairy and sentiment are from  LOTV., all were coloured with Promarkers. The flowers were cut out with a Marianne die . I do hope you like it for I know I am always saying I don't do cute, but lately these LOTV stamps have inspired the cute creativity within me.

Flowers - Scrapbook Challenge

Second Post Today
At Addicted to Stamps  monthly Scrapbook Challenge #3 is 'Flowers'. Here is a LO I made of my youngest grandson. There are several layers of papers, all of the flowers were cut from a full size scrapbook page. I added buttons to match the colours on the page. At the left of his picture there is a hidden tag, you hold the button and pull, it has all the details of his birth. Of course there had to be some stamping so I have used a blue ink pad and stamped with a favourite La Blanche scroll stamp.

I am also sending this to Happy Scrappers - for their Buttons and Bows challenge. I have lots of buttons, but only one knot, bows don't look right for a boy. Hoping it is acceptable. Keep the UK flag flying girls.

Make Your Mark

Addicted to Stamps 'Make Your Mark' challenge #3 this week asks us to create a project where we have used our markers. Any colouring markers are accepted. I had so much fun making this card, I have made another 5 to add to my Christmas cards. 

The papers are from LOTV - Frosty Christmas, the stamp is also from LOTV. The sentiment is from a Flowersoft stamp. As all my followers know, I don't normally do cute, but sometimes they are just irresistible. I used Promarkers to colour the image.

Another Sketch

Looking around for a different challenge blog I found Addicted to Stamps, which describes me perfectly. this week for their challenge it is Sketch #2. Here is my interpretation.

The background and centre panel have been embossed with a Christmas Vine embossing folder. I used leaves from a Paperartsy set to form the background for the butterfly. the butterfly and sentiment are from Indigo Blu stamps. I wish this relatively new challenge blog lots of best wishes and shall be following their challenges and hopefully joining in a few as the weeks progress.
I am also entering this card into Crafty Cardmakers for their challenge Winged Things.
