Cybercrop Layout shares

I’ve got a few layouts to share from Cybercrop this weekend over at RSS. The entries don’t close until tomorrow night and the girls are coming up with some stunning work! Being with an 80’s theme, we have seen a lot of flouro colours and daggy photos

Here is my challenge example that I made… my challenge was to create a layout with your favourite 80’s photo, inspired by your favourite 80’s tv show. I was only born in the 80’s so my shows were mostly cartoons LOL I remember going through a phase of totally loving Fraggle Rock so using this picture to inspire me…I made the layout below…

That photo is so precious to me because it is the only one I know of that has my Mum’s whole family together. That’s me at the front left by the way Only problem is that once I finished the hidden journalling (the yellow tag sticks out behind the photo) I realised that maybe the photo wasn’t quite the 80’s… I think it may have been Christmas 1990 But ssssh… don’t tell anyone, we can just pretend it was still the 80’s LOL

This month there was also a DT Dare set by the non-DT members for us DTers to have a go at. The challenge was to use dominant colour of purple, lace and a photo of a memorable 80’s moment. Who doesn’t remember their Pixie Photos? LOL

And then the next layout was for Rach’s 80’s Challenge. I was stuck on this for soooo long! We needed to create a layout inspired by a photo of our favourite 80’s pop star. Sounds easy until you try and do it! LOL My fave music in the 80’s was nursery rhymes… but by the end of the 80’s I had discovered Bruce Springstein, Kylie Minogue and the Chipmunks & Chippettes. Anyone remember their album ‘Born to Rock’? What a crack up… I loved it and always listened to it – must have driven my parents mad! LOL Anyway, so I decided to go with Kylie Minogue. Here is the pic I used to inspire me…and here is my layout…

I took the colours of the photo and my fave Kylie song from way back then to create this very girly layout for Ashlea.

So now that I have them done, I still have another 4 awesome challenges to get stuck into… better get back to it

Take care all,

I’ve been a bad blogger :(

Yep… I’m a bad, bad blogger! This week I almost forgot I even had a blog! LOL Still not much to share with you all though, I’ve been pretty quiet lately.

It was my turn to set the Negative Space challenge for June at RSS and this is what I came up with…. the challenge is to use no more than 25% of the page and use monotones – as many shades of the one colour as you like. This photo is of me as a chubby 3 week old bubba with my big sister Jasmine…

And then I had time for one more layout before Wayne got home. I loved the June Sketch Challenge at RSS and got stuck into it straight away…

Well that is all my scrappin for now. Told ya I hadn’t been up to much lately LOL

Now before I go I just had to share with you this pic of Ashlea. The child sleeps in some very, very strange poses… LOL

Someone really should tell her the blanket goes on top and the pillow goes under her head PML

Take care all, I’m off to watch a movie with Wayne before we go and get Rachelle from school.
