RAINBOW BOYS!

This next layout is another adventure from the mystery bus tour....

I love this sketch from Scrapmuch ... 21.2.14 

 



Down on the Auckland Wharf heading to the Cloud we found this "rainbow container"... so it was line up time... and after a number of poses.... these photos were the results.

These photos have been going to the bottom of the pile a few times as I wasn't sure how I wanted to display them.... this sketch worked really well with them. (Well I think so anyway :) )

I love the candy dots from stampin' up and they were the all the right colours for my rainbow corners, and the chalk board pen works so well on the black cardstock.....

YESSS!

This next layout has photos from challenge #1 on the bus tour for Gavin's 18th birthday.... it was to build a pyramid.... it was so funny to watch a bunch of "nerds" try to do this....

I used the great sketch at Scrap much..

 

Most of the guys are studying engineering at University.... but they had no idea what to do!.... But they made it.... Liam wasn't to keen on putting both hands up tho.

BEST FRIENDS

I have had the next couple of layouts finished for a few days ..... but haven't had time to load them up... so here goes

This is a first time entry for Artfull Crafts - Sketch-Challenge...

 


I turned the sketch around to suit this photo... and then it all came together really well.

This photo was taken at Gavin's (my son) 18th Birthday party.... as part of the mystery bus tour we went to the Auckland Museum and they had a photo taken on the canon.... they had to hold onto their hats or they blew away!

CHOCOLATE FONDUE

Slowly catching up on some of the many events from 2013.... the next layout... even a double was perfect for these photos....

I have used the double sketch over at Scrapmuch

 







One this evening, me & the girls and their partners were just relaxing and decided we need "pudding" so Chocolate Fondue it was.... we all had lots of fun....

VOTE FOR ME!

Exciting.... I have managed to get all the sketches over at My Scraps and More done for this month.... this is my  final one being  My scraps & more sketches #64


This photo is of our son Gavin.... he was choosing his suit for his Year 13 ball and as a joke tried this suit one as part of a competition...

In a funny sort of way it did suit him..... but he looked very dashing in his chosen black 'n white outfit.

STORMY POINT

On a bit of a role again (finally) .... the photos I have used in this layout have been going around and around my desk for some time... so decided it was time to get them onto a layout and soon...

I have used the sketch from My scraps & more sketches#65

 

 
This layout came together really quickly and I love the look.... and love it when things just fall into place like this layout.... 

I used some lovely MME papers.... it was an 8x8 pad of papers...... ok off to my next challenge!

ARMAGEDDON........

Oh my gosh.... these photos go back to 2012.... but at least they are now done...

So this lot of photos are from my sons road trip to Armageddon 2012 in Auckland.... I have used the sketch from My scraps & more sketches #66 


 I have had this Kaisercraft papers for ages.... knowing that I had these photos to scrap... I love how it has all come together.

I completed this story with some divided pages......
