Scrap Matrix Challenge Watercolours and Words<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
I was inspired by the previous months Scrap Matrix rainbow mood board colours and it reminded me of some journalling I had done about our fav colours back in 2005 that i still hadn't scrapped. So when the month rolled by and i had missed the last challenge and there was a new one Water colours and words i knew what i could do.<br />
I found a photo from the same era and started experimenting with watercolors and bubble wrap. The result looked too intense so when it was dry I spread <a href="http://scrapmatrix.com/ranger-gesso-dina-wakely-4oz/" target="_blank">Dina Wakely Gesso</a> randomly over the background to calm it down a bit. Then I used acrylic paint to paint over the top of some old letters to make a new rainbow title. Then I used a piece of rainbow vellum to punch hearts and sewed them to the lo with embroidery thread. So 12 years later this lo is finally done, thanks for the inspiration.<br />

Do what scares you until it doesn't </div>
<div dir="ltr">
I used to be afraid of <u>walking</u> on my own because 25 years ago I was touched up in a subway. The More than words challenge of "Fearless and Grunge" got me thinking about what i was afraid of and I thought 25 years is long enough to live with fear so I decided to just go and walk and deal with the consequences whatever they are. As i walked i thought about scrapping this story but did not have time in September to do so. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Never mind doing a lo the challenge was to change my life!</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
In reality the biggest thing likely to happen is that I will get fitter and do more of what I love to do even if there's no one to come with me. I'm 2 months into this mindset change and each time I do it it gets easier. It's not easy yet so I just have to keep doing it until it is. </div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
As for the lo done now this is for the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/p/current-challenge.html" target="_blank">Kraft + Think Big challenge</a>, clearly i did with my photo here. I used acrylic paints mixed with ultra thick embossing enamel mixed with various glossy glittery embossing powders and perfect pearls. To make the circles I applied paint to jar and bottle bottoms/lids and used them as stamps. Journalling is behid the photo.</div>
<div dir="ltr">
<br /></div>
<div dir="ltr">
Somewhat ironically i had to take my son with me on this walk so as to take this photograph for the lo!</div>

<br />
The challenge on the <a href="http://kraftpluschallenges.blogspot.com.au/2017/07/august-challenge-leaves-and-branches.html" target="_blank">Kraft plus site was to be inspired by trees. </a> and when I read the challenge criteria for the more than <a href="http://frame.bloglovin.com/?post=4709742650&blog=2333328&frame_type=none" target="_blank">words challenge to be inspired by </a>Harmony and Song lyrics.<br />

I immediately thought of a day when i went hiking with my son to a beautiful spot to teach him some photography skills. We were in perfect harmony with each other.<br />
It was a day were i could not have been happier, my son wanting to learn photography which is my passion and being out in the amazing countryside mid winter was truly a dream come true for me.<br />
Oh Happy Day indeed.<br />
<br />
Perfect.<br />
<br />
I collected some gum tree leaves and zentangled on them. I attached them on the lo on the LHS from a circle shape where they look like a dream catcher, which summarises how awesome our time together was like a dream come true. :)<br />
<br />
I coated 2 of the leaves with glossy accents to make them look wet and placed them under the photo near the edge of the water.<br />
<br />
I also used kraft paper with a raised wood grain finish.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I wanted to document this strange Tuesday evening, when my family put on this meal for me as a surprise on just any old week night including Mexican streamers on the front door for when i returned from work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
(I cut the streamers from a photo of the door to make the embellishment on the top yellow circle.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What they didn't know is that i had just had a call from the Breast Cancer Screening Team whilst at work saying they wanted to investigate further some changes in my Breast tissue since my last mammogram. As I am in the high risk category for Breast Cancer because of my family history i immediately assumed my life was about to change dramatically, I became quite frankly hysterical and left work. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This sight is what greeted me, along with , "Oh you're home a bit early we're not quite ready yet"</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I said i'd take a shower to give them the few minutes extra they needed and composed myself to enjoy the Tex Mex Treat they had prepared for me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My joy at the love of my family was overwhelming, I confided the news to my husband that evening and we made peace with inevitable cancer diagnosis</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was astonished (and delighted) when (thank God) 4 days later after further scans I was declared Breast Cancer free.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Although I ended up covering most of the lovely Kraft to follow the sketch from creative scrappers I'm happy with the layout.<br />

Time has flown since my last post on this blog but I have still been busy scrapping even more so than before, I just haven't uploaded anything.

Getting the creative juice on the go again with some challenges.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The first a sketch challenge from <a href="http://onceuponasketchblog.blogspot.com.au/2014/02/february-reveal-part-2.html" target="_blank">Once Upon a Sketch</a> which I have interpreted replacing the one photo with four depicting my daughter reading in her hammock strung between 2 palm trees, at a restaurant ( when i popped to the ladies), at the kitchen table and in the back seat of the car.. The journalling about my daughters book addiction is on a fold out concertina journaling piece folded up behind the "READ THIS" spot.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I used a bo bunny paper for the back ground and nearly all the embellishments are from <a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/forum/topics/case-file-no-109-case-closes-on-february-16-2014" target="_blank">CSI</a> case file no 109. I have punched and inked some book pages too and used a template cut by Scrappy Suzi on her robo to ink circles on the back ground with distress ink.</div>

Ok so I have not been a good blogger being absent from the
blogosphere for over a year, however in that time I have managed to locate,
buy and renovate a house. I have been hard pressed to find time to play along
with Counterfeit Kits challenges and UKs challenges. I have managed from time to
time but when I did I had no time at all to blog about it. I was just happy
that I had enough time to scrap or play with my camera.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Last weekend my <a href="http://www.ukscrappers.co.uk/index.php" target="_blank">UKS</a> friends all went to a retreat; being
in Australia I wasn’t able to attend. Mary was kind enough to post me her
sketch challenge which I mixed with the <a href="http://counterfeitkitchallenge.blogspot.com.au/2013/10/challenge-1-jewelry-challenge.html" target="_blank">CFK jewellery challenge</a> and have just completed. </div>

I also wrote a list of the stories I wanted to tell using the ephemera. </span></a>In October I have had a slightly different approach to making my CFK in that my
friend Scrappy Sue came over a couple of weeks ago with a stack of papers she
was disposing of, mostly old free papers from magazines. My kit this month is
that pile of papers together with a box of bits and bobs I haven’t found time
to pack away properly in my new craft studio and a happymail gift from <a href="http://mysweetmarie.wordpress.com/" target="_blank">my Sweet Marie in Canada</a> which arrived this month. </div>

As usual the amount of journaling I wanted to get down was too great for the space Katie used for her journaling but inspired by Jim Jams tags<a href="http://just-jimjams.blogspot.com.au/2012/09/cha-fakery-2.html" target="_blank"> here </a> and because in my CFK scraps swap kit Scrappy Sue gave me were some plain tags I dressed them up and used them to make mini journaling books. Perfect for all those words.</div>

My son's favourite shop in Adelaide, where he was able to test drive a $105,000 grand piano, thank goodness he didn't break it eek. Sadly the shop has gone just into receivership which means there is currently 40% of said piano... the answer is still no </div>

Thanks for setting the hunt Rhinda I have so enjoyed playing, using the opportunity to look around me, see things somewhat differently to usual and to record some aspects of our life we would have otherwise missed. To boot I have some photos of my family I love and from now on will get my "big" camera out more often for my family, and not just for clients. Looking forward to next year already!</div>

The Victory Hotel was opened in 1858 when it was named the Sellicks Hill Hotel. In 1859 it was known as Norman's Victory in honour of John Norman, Chairman of the Aldinga District Council, who had fought a long battle with the Central Road Board to have the Sellicks Hill Road constructed.<br />
<br />
However I thought The Victory Hotel which we drive past every day needed a little window dressing; cue hot hubbie...<br />

<span style="text-align: justify;">I thought finding a fountain would be tricky we could only think of one in Adelaide city centre and </span><span style="text-align: justify;">I</span><span style="text-align: justify;"> didn't fancy an hours drive into Adelaide just for the photo.

... in August we went to Adelaide to show our Japanese exchange student "Kitchi" the city and saw the FOUNTAIN WE FIRST THOUGHT OF. I got Kitchi to photograph me and the love of my life here. It was a real challenge to explain through the English Japanese language language barrier what I wanted him to do but, with sign language and several attempts he did a super job.<br />

I used some tie die pp for the background as it looked firework like and the glasses were from Australia day celebrations with diffraction grating lenses for viewing the fireworks.<br>
I coloured the theatre ticket and the card stock and journaling strips which were from my swapped June cfk to make them fit the colour scheme as they were too peachy. Hurrah for distress inks.</p>

I made this for the UKS weekly challenge<br />

I used to have to tell my toddlers to "share nicely" all the time. I'd now like to "share" what happens when you do.<br />
Here is the lovely kit made by Scrappy Sue which she gave me when I shared my June Counterfeit kit with her.<br />
There were lots of lovely scraps (she puts much bigger pieces in her scrap pile than i do!) and it was such fun to play with some new (to me papers)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Being British, even though I now live in South Australia I lived in the UK for the first 39 years of my life, I set about thinking what British aspect I wanted to record on my lo. Having watched the highlights of the Jubilee celebrations I realised exactly what I should do, inspired particularly by the choir on the musical barge belting out <a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-18316899" target="_blank">Land of Hope and Glory</a> in the pouring rain with their hair stuck to their faces. The British really are eccentric they have to do things in spite of weather or they really would do nothing at all.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I found these photos of us standing in a thunderstorm preparing to run a "Fun Run" in Manchester and realised how the British are (fortunately) forcibly brainwashed to "Make the best of it" whatever the weather.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uhYBU5ICydI/T9QuO30cVPI/AAAAAAAAAl4/IPTguSmd2UI/s1600/IMG_20120610_143614-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="617" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-uhYBU5ICydI/T9QuO30cVPI/AAAAAAAAAl4/IPTguSmd2UI/s640/IMG_20120610_143614-1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I had lots of small paper pieces and lots of them were very busy so I used them to make bunting and I added the <a href="http://csicolorstoriesinspiration.ning.com/forum/topics/case-file-no-22-case-closes-on-june-10-2012" target="_blank">CSI Printables </a>to my kit too. I covered the hideous "bikini babe" bottle top and used it for a centre piece. </div>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aHKSuxppEx8/T9QuO55TKGI/AAAAAAAAAl4/nk5WE0Q3SX0/s1600/IMG_20120610_143619.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-aHKSuxppEx8/T9QuO55TKGI/AAAAAAAAAl4/nk5WE0Q3SX0/s640/IMG_20120610_143619.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;">I have completed this for the CSI challenge and the evidence I have used is corrugated paper (I dug out the little machine from the back of the cupboard) and the Chevron pattern which I hand cut from some "plaid" paper.</span>
<br />
<span style="text-align: left;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: left;">My journaling includes childhood memories obviously for my kids but also for both me and my dh of enforced walking in the rain when we were young as part of the British brainwashing process!</span>
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w_Br5dlV7-k/T9QuOzqSJrI/AAAAAAAAAl4/NrFFz2WcBU4/s1600/IMG_20120610_143627.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-w_Br5dlV7-k/T9QuOzqSJrI/AAAAAAAAAl4/NrFFz2WcBU4/s640/IMG_20120610_143627.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>
This lo also meets the criteria for the weekly UKS challenge (lots of Journaling, red white and blue more than 2 photos) and and so I am happily claiming 30 points for the Scrappycats Team.<br />

</div>
This month the CFK challenge was different and at first I was horrified!<br />
<br />
I didn't want to make a kit with <br />
<ul>
<li>10 sheets patterned paper</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>8 sheets cardstock</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>2 alphabet sets</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>2 stamp sets</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>4 journaling spots</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>3 types of "choose your own" style embellishments (flowers, border strips, ribbon, anything you like)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>1 roll washi tape</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>1 "old" embellishment </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>1 messy item (paint, embossing, mists, etc)</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li>1 other item of your choice</li>
</ul>
because
I only get chance to scrap once or twice a month it would mean I'd be
using the kit up until Christmas and I'm not sure which year! but I
still wanted to play along and I'd invited my friend Sue to play along this
month too.<br />
I had a
bright idea, make the kit only using scraps, that would cut down the
size of it to something more manageable for me to use up before I got fed up of it.<br />
It being the 60th anniversary of the Queen I went for a Red White and Blue theme but found several embellees and left over letters in blue with mustard so threw them in too.<br />
Then I cut everything in half to make a 2nd kit to swap with my scrappy friend. <br />
<br />
Here's a photo of the kit . My old embellishment was a squashed bottle top. I had 2, the first one plain black and the other in yellow with a pink bikini and the words Bikini Babe which I thought was hideous. I was nice and gave my friend the plain black one in the kit for her!<br />
