Challenge 12 is up over at Punky Scraps

Your challenge for this week is to create using Orange, Yellow & Green....but wait, there is a twist! You can only use ONE patterned paper!!

here's my take:

this is the mess that's on my desk atm, and what it usually looks like lol.

i used some stuff from my first ever scrapbook kit, which i haven't touched in years, i stuck them to the background and covered it in gesso. i love how the layout itself looks like a creative mess :)

I started making this layout about half way through last year and finally finished it a week ago, lol. I wanted my Dad to find out how old he was when he got his childhood dog and when they gave her away, but he kept forgetting to ask my Nana or it just wasn't a good time. Then when we saw my Nana for christmas, it turns out she can't remember, so I just got my Dad to write down a couple of thoughts about Penny and I used that as my journelling.

And I made this card for last months kaisercraft monthly sketch challenge. I think I'll give it to my cousin for her 6th birthday in July.

My Chemical Romance are making a special version of their song 'SING' with all proceeds going to Red Cross Japan. Their asking for videos, photos and artwork to be in the video, you can read about it on Ray's blog, so I figured I would use my scrapbooking skills to make this peice of art.

I added a New Zealand flag to show where I'm from, but then it looked weird, like I got the flags mixed up lol, so I added the Japanese flag aswell.

And here's the original version of SING, it's such an amazing song.

i made this lo for a Scrapbooking Memories magazine call, but it didn't get accepted. oh well, lol, i'm still really proud of it.

the clouds were made using a ms doily lace punch and computer paper. tfl :)

I love these photos from when i was a baby, so of course, I had to scrap them.

i made this one for the kaisercraft mix it up newsletter challenge

I made this diorama for a Panic! at the Disco contest . the challenge was to make a peice of art representing either 1 vice or 1 virtue, so i chose peacefulness. once again, i took inspiration from Lindsey Way.

I only had about 10 days to make it, so it's slightly rushed lol, but I'm still really pleased with how it turned out.

and here's some detail pics:

edit: i didn't win the contest. i guess it didn't really fit under vises and virtues. oh well, i still have an awesome diorama to display in my room lol

i made this little umbrella using one of those party umbrella thingys,  cut up paper flowers and punches. no idea where i'm gonna put it lol.

i took inspiration from one of Lindsey Way's art peices:

and there was yet another earthquake in Christchurch a couple of hours ago (6.3). the buildings were already weakend from last years earthquake so quite a few fell down and hundreds of people are trapped and an unknown number of deaths. i really don't get why there's been so many natural disasters in the past year. when will mother nature leave us alone?
