The challenge at Archi-Scraps require stones or bricks.  Having spent two days with masks, texture paste and inks and not getting the result that I wanted I gave up and settled for stony paper!!!

Selfie

I am not very good at taking selfies but everyone else seem to do a good job!!!  A Lee selfie taken when they all went to London to the DC Show!

 

I am entering the challenge at ARTastic......

 

 

........for inspiration this month it is a picture from Arthur Baker Clark 'The Citadel, St Tropez and the criteria is to use ink/paint.

I used spray ink for the background paper, inked the title 'Selfie' and inked all the paper edges. 

The challenge closes at the end of the month so lots of time to get messy!!

The Greatest Show

Before horse riding Cassie did dancing.....and this layout is a photo from the show that was staged at the Towngate Theatre, Basildon.

 

I am entering the Freaky Fast challenge at the Scraproom.  I usually really like this challenge but this time I found it hard....I think because I had a problem matching papers to Cassie's outfit!!  But it came together in the end!!

 

You have until the end of the month to join in....

Man of the Match

Nicholas is a goalie, and as his Dad is the team coach he doesn't seem to get the trophy for Man of the Match very often....even when he deserves it when his defense is playing rubbish!!!  But he got it in February!!

 

I am entering the challenge at White +1 which this month is orange and was ideal for Nicholas goalie top!!  I flicked orange paint for the first time...think I got more on me!

 

 

The mood board was to inspire and to add an element from the board.  I added ricrac as it seemed to mirror the braid.

The challenge closes at the end of the month so lots of time to join in!
