Cocoa Vanilla ~ Happiness DT Share Part 1

Hey all,

This month I have been working with one of the newest lines in the store Cocoa Vanilla - Happiness. This line feels quite girly- but I have definitely done some boys pages and I think it would be great for party pages, fun times, garden pages, kids, family, friends and romance. Here's the first bunch of pages I have to share. More next week. Happy scrapping!

May Cyber Crop

We are all about Heritage Style Scrapbooking this month.

Typically heritage style is more the darker and sepia colours, anything vintage or distressed and working with black & white photos. 

But really,  all scrapbooking is about recording our heritage- some of it more recent than others. If you want to tell your stories from more recent times, then that's also fine for these challenges.

Challenge 1 - Sketch

I've continued one with our day at Yarloop, Time Machine papers, Green Tara flowers, Cocoa Vanilla alphas and some die-cuts.

Challenge 2 - Scrap a Black and White Photo

Challenge 3 -  Requirement challenge, add your own hand made flowers

For my example, continued with my May challenge photos, and made a double layout.  I have die-cut petals to make my flowers.

Due date Sunday, 26th May- Midnight

May Monthly Challenges

Now that our Rainbow Competition is almost over it's time to bring back the monthly challenges. This month we're looking at Heritage Scrapbooking. Traditionally Heritage Scrapbooking is about working with older stories and photos from generations past. But really all scrapbooking is about recording our heritage- some of it more recent than others. If you want to tell your stories from more recent times, then that's also fine for these challenges.
We're looking forward to seeing your take on the challenges.

Donna's Challenge - Add your own handwriting.  

When I think Heritage style, I always remember the notes that I would find in mum's old photo albums, whether it is a name or date scribbled on the back of a photo, or a little slip of paper with some info on it tucked in amongst the photos.  These days we scrapbook so our kids/family will have a record of who, what and where, little snapshots of our everyday lives as well as the big moments, but sometimes we forget to journal as often as we should!  And if you are like me, and don't have nice writing, you might, like me, skip it altogether.  We need to remember when we are gone, and our kids are looking at the albums we have left behind for them, they are not going to care.... they will just be happy to say, "that's Mums writing"

Here's my example.  Kaisercraft Time Machine papers are just perfect for this page.

Gypsy's Challenge

My Challenge is a Scraplift - I picked this page by Renee Aslette from the Kaisercraft blog to scraplift.

 Here's my take on the page...

I was given this photo of my Nana and her Mum and Dad when I was home in New Zealand recently. It's the only photo I have of my great grandparents.

I've used: Basic Grey Serenade: Chemise and Half Penny and Kaisercraft Christmas Edition: Rejoice and Yule. Kaisercraft Pearls: Latte.
