Scrap the girls June challenge
Title: Sisters
 
This is my take on the mood board for the june challenge.
 
I have stamped layered the hearts across the page, and 1 used feathered ribbon too drap down the page as well. Of course there is flowers, tags and bling around the page.
 
This lady is my big  sister heather, she is one special lady, not only did she help raise me as a little girl, even as I was growing up she was always my go to lady. Even after I got married and moved away Heather and Johnny would often come and visit. I love Heather with all my heart and treasure the time we can spend together. We even now, with our own kids having grandbabies we still manage to spend time over coffee or at bingo.  We truly have a special bond. Love you sis. xx

Title: Remember this moment
 
In memory of Helen
 
This is Helen the sister of my friend marg. Helen flew out from Canada to attend marg's wedding two years age to Graeme. It was a very special day for two very, very special people.
Early this year, Helen suddenly passed away, marg, Graeme and her other sister flew out to attended Helens beside, lucky they made it in time to say their sweet goodbyes. Marg would often talk to Helen via the phone or facebook. They were very close as only sisters can be.
 
I have used flowers ,tags with quotes and polka dots as well. As well as that I have used a tag for my journaling, its tucked away under the tag shine on. I like that Helen is wearing a stripped dress which is one of the elements.
 
This one I did just for marg, with a touch of sadness and love.

Scrap the Boys June Challenge
Tile: AHOY & AHOY 1.

 
This is my grandson aaron riding on of course the wiggles Big Red Boat. As there was a little girl sitting in the car, aaron decided to have a ride in the big red boat. As you can tell he really enjoyed himself. Before this however, he rode in the Big Red plane. Because the little girl was still there she got to ride around again. When the little girls dad came over he put another $2 in and both the kids change vehicles and rode again. They had a ball. Aaron always tries to get his mum to give him a ride when they have done the shopping, doesn't always work.
 
As you can see I have used boating elements all over the page, the starfish is where I did my journaling. The title AHOY was cut out in the corrugated paper, giving it a wavey effect.

Csi Case no. 164
Title: Our Family
This is my niece Tina and her husband Scott with their three boys, this was when they were much younger.
Hayden is in the army cadets and following in our family tradition, as tina's uncle James was also in the army, he no longer is.
 
All three boys love to fish with their dad on their boat and we often see them on facebook with their catches, always with a huge smile on their faces.
 
I have use many elements of the challenge, robots, clocks, poka dots, stripes and paint, with lots of other things as well. I have journalled their story on the robot card underneath the gate on the left.  Along with cogs and transparent name tags.

Scrap the Girls May challenge
Title:- Cherish Kathleen Ryan - AUS
 
This is a picture of my sister Heather (black/white outfit) and eve my sister in law. This was a special bus trip with our local Club, as it was the last trip my brother Bill took, Bill is married to Eve and brother to Heather.
 
The bus trip took us through Melbourne  which we saw 6-7 hot air balloons floating in the sky, then on to Bendigo and our final destination was beautiful Echuca. This was the first trip I have taken with Heather and Eve it was fantastic, we got to hang out and just enjoy the time together.
We enjoyed some games on the way there, we ate out at places I've never been too, we took and paddle steam boat ride on the PS Canberra for an hour or so, soaking up the sun with a little off shore breeze thrown in, we also waved at the people on the shore.
On the way home, lucky bingo card numbers were read out and the lucky door prize, I won $5 and a Cancer Council thermo travelling cup and lollies.
All in all it was a fantastic weekend.
 
My handmade light blue ribbon I folded and sewed it into place along with the handmade flower at the top.

Scrap the Boys May challenge
 
Title: Scouts
 
This is my grandson Izaak being invested from cubs to Scouts, here he is receiving his book of rules. Everyone was there, mum, fitzy (Stepdad) hana, aaron, me, (nanny) aunty ness and nanny sue (Fitzy's mum). We were all proud and excited for this young man.
Scouts has been really good for him, he just received his first badge, a craft badge it was for tying knots. Apparently fitzy, who himself was a scout, helped him practiced tying these knots, Izaak was so proud for passing. Fantastic job.
For mothers day the scouts camped over in the rooms and set up for a pamper night for the mums and special women in the kids lives. They decorated the rooms and set up tea, coffee and cakes, they served the mums, gave then head rubs, back rubs and waited on then hand and foot.
They were worn out with all the walking around they did, but it was a fun night.
 
my interpretation of the pound the pavement:
Scouts are always on the move.

Title: Live 
 
 
This is the relay for life funraiser event, it was held at a friends mothers house.
As we have all known someone who suffered from or died from cancer, this was the best way we could help them raise funds. With raffles and games. We also enjoyed dancing and a great BBQ as well.
It was a fancy dress party as you can see we all did our best with the costumes.
 
Here is my daughter in the blonde wig and I in my silver wig dressed and Lady pompadour,  the other lady is Shannon, and she and her mum were running in the relay for life team.
 
 
 
I have used many elements painted hearts, chipboard dress, flowers, scalloped edges around the photo's and edges. The metal light stand as well
.
This was a tribute to those women in the team, well done girls.
