Karumba___Scrapbooking_054.JPGCC Bower Bird - MSH PresentsThanks for the Challenge Lisa
Even though this is a double page I utilized the Bower challenge into this Layout. It is the photo of the Hades Group from "The Myth of Persephone, Hades & Demeter" put on by MHS. I painted & stamped the background then distressed and Inked the edges, used my own handwriting on tags and around frame and on the pattern paper. Definately used RED, 2 pattern papers were American Craft -Awesome and Pages from Fancy pants - pp pad - All fall. I used twine and the one photo. 3 commentsOct 24, 2010
Karumba___Scrapbooking_056.JPGcc Inspirational/Theme - A night to rememberThanks for the challenge Bec
My inspiration from the painting was the thick strokes of paint and placed the photos representing the building in the painting.
This is a photo of my DD on opening Night of their School's Rock Eisteddford show (Even though the Rock Eisteddford was cancelled) they got to perform it 3 times including the Cairns Show. So much work went into it! They had a cast of 64 students2 commentsOct 24, 2010

Karumba___Scrapbooking_050.JPGCC Sketch - One Pink RoomThanks for the sketch Allie
The Art feature I used was decorating a girlie girl teenager's room PINK and the fact that I made the all the cushions and curtains for the room and my husband made the shelves and we bought the rug and chandelier. Which made one very happy DD.
Used some very old Junkitz paper and MME & ribbons for the background. I also used some of the sparkly pink trim I used on one of the cushions.4 commentsOct 24, 2010
