Next, is Karens submission...

Karen Williams - At Home with the Ladies

hi Shazza

this one posed a few problems for me- mainly the photo- I had some great photos from Stanley's recent birthday of him and his cousins but my printer is not playing ball- so then I looked through my old family photos and found not much at all- i don't seem to have any photos with all the family together that I cloud combine with a title that included the word home- i had photos of us out, photos of us at parties and photos from funerals ( is it just my family that takes photos at funerals?)

So this photo was my last resort- my Mum, Nan, Stanley and me posing together in the pre digital age- so no chance to realise Mum's eyes were closed and Stanley was looking the wrong way. But I'm very grateful for the photo- I don't have Mum and Nan any more- they never got to meet my other two children - so I'm just pleased to have it at all- Nan was wearing a wig in the photo because she was struggling with cancer when the picture was taken.

Hope it s OK 

Karen

 

Here is Debs submission....

Deb Clark -Homeward Bound

Wow Shazza, it is November with Christmas looming...where 

has 2011 gone!!
 
I really enjoyed working on this LO of my young kiddies 

& their cousins, at a family gathering at Minnie 

Waters in 1985..so long ago!!I had fun with bright 

happy papers & it is titled Homeward Bound, as 

we were all about to pile in our cars & head 

different directions, but the kiddies didn't want to
get off the hurdy-gurdy & stop playing together
 
All criteria met -
 
- family gathering photo
- home in the title
- journaling with white pen
 
I hope we see lots of gals here this busy month!
 
 
Cheers, Deb

Here is Sandi's submission for November

Sandi Robinson -At Home for Auld Land Syne

 

 

 Attached is my LO for the November 'Home For The Holidays' challenge.  I've included a 'family gathering' photo...our mob on New Years Eve 2009, journalling in white pen & included the word 'Home' in the title!! I had fun using up lots of scraps & bits & bobs from my stash for this one...thanks for another great challenge Shazza!!
 
I've also attached a photo of an RAK for November...some AC Thicker chipboard accents &  two packs of sticker embellies.
 
I'm really looking forward to working on 'A White Christmas' & hope we get lots of entries for November!!

Next is Janes Submission...

Jane Howden - Home is where the Heart is.

 

Hi Shazza,

Here is my submission for November. I have used an older photo of my husband and children on our front verandah as my family gathering photo and highlighted the fact that this is about “home” by using a house shape as a base for the picture. I’ve added the white pen as part of the title rather than as journaling and added HOME as the main title. Can’t wait to see how everyone tackles this month’s inspiration.

All the best,

Jane

Here is Dale's submission....

Dale Tiernan - Home for the Holidays

Hi Shazza,

Here is my take on the Home For The Holidays movie poster.

I've used some of the colours and lifted the title. The family gathering is Christmas lunch last year at our home.

I have home in my vellum title and have journalled in white pen.

I've done quite a bit of fussy cutting on my layout.

Cheers,

Dale

Here is this months sub from Jennifer.......

Jennifer Manis -Home is Where your Family is

Hi Shazza!  Just wanted to send in my layout for November's poster.  November already!  I can't believe it!  I really enjoyed using this month's poster; it's perfect for this time of year!  For my layout, I used an old photo of my Grandma and some of her sisters.  She had many siblings, and I always wonder what that would be like, since I am an only child.  From the photos I have, it looks like they had lots of get-togethers!  My layout is titled, "Home is Where Your Family Is".  

Thanks! 

Jen

 

Here is Natalies submission.....

Natalie Elphinstone -Feels Like Home

Dear Shazza,

I had some very recent photos of a family gathering that were just perfect for this challenge as I couldn't wait to scrap them anyway! The other criteria just gave me a push in the right direction. Thanks for another great movie-poster inspiration this month.

Karens submission for the Psycho inspiration......

Karen Knight

My Submission for this month.. funny story about that, i had finished my project and had it all done, then realised that i had forgotten to spilt my tittle.. so i created another Tag as well.. so you get two for the price of one.... giggle.. I have used a variety of Tim Holtz goodies in both projects.. and have included my spooky house, a silhouetted figure.. ( i used a bit of poetic licence with the Configurations box, and added a cat and crow..) and have split my tittle in my tag..

Come Meet our Movie Extra for the month of OCtober.....

Karen's bio.......

 Hi ... I'm Karen,  I Live in a little place Called Cooloola Cove with my little man and Hubby... am a proud mum to Ashley, and am an addicted scrapper... I always seem to be behind the camera, and have been scrapping for about 10 years. I scrap everything i do in 8x8 as i tend to struggle with all that extra space in a 12x12 layout... I am a little addicted to all things grungy and Tim Holtz... I love getting inky!!  I have a blog that i try to update regularly.. you can find it here... 

http://inkstained-fingers.blogspot.com/

Spooky house - on the little brad at the bottom left of the photo.

For any one interested, the papers for the squares came from a Pretty Little Studio collection - Scaredy Cat. Corinne over at Handmade Halo (http://www.scrapbookingonlinestore.com.au/) is the exclusive Australian retailer for PLS and she has awesome coordinating embellishment kits to go with!

Mary Steinmetz - Beware

Here is Karen Williams submission........

Karen Williams -Stories

Hi Shazza

here is my submission for the OCtober challenge

I started with the photo as my spooky house and silhouette of a figure but guessed I should have them on the LO- so I cut out a figure and stamped a house  ( although it isn't very spooky) the book is displayed like this on my yellow shelf ( I have colour coded my bookshelves) because I love the cover- I thought it looked like a good image for a halloween page and I have just started re-reading the Sherlock Holmes books.

Hope this is OK

Karen

Here is Sandi's submission for October....

Sandi Robinson - Sparklers

 

Hi Shazza

I hope this finds you well.

Attached is my sub for the October movie poster 'Psycho'...This is the first poster I've struggled with!!  I had to really work to get my head around even choosing photo's that fit with the criteria of a spooky house!!! So I opted for some night-time pics of my boys playing with sparklers & went from there!!  So...Spooky House..check! Silhouetted figure...check (x2!) & a one word title cut in half...check! Thanks for taking me out of my comfort zone, even if it was like pulling teeth...I got there in the end!!!!

Bye for now
Sandi x

Jane's submission for October...

Jane Howden - Grotto

Good morning Shazza,

Here is my submission for October.  I’ve used a photo of Jenolan Caves House (established 1887 - rather grand, imposing and certainly spooky, especially at night and in the foggy depths of winter). My silhouette is of two black birds and my split one word title “Grotto” has been divided randomly lengthways rather than the traditional midways split as shown on the Psycho poster.  I was totally stumped on a title for this layout until I stumbled across Grotto - a geological formation consisting of an underground enclosure with access from the surface.  The impressive entrance and rugged surroundings of Jenolan certainly fits this bill – I’m sure those of you who may have braved the steep drive in will be in agreement.

Thanks,

Jane

A submission from Dale Tiernan :)

Dale Tiernan - Terror

Hi Shazza,

I found the movie Psycho pretty scary and this is a great poster for it. I've used similar colours to the poster. The topic is the Twilight Zone Tower of Terror ride in Hollywood Studios in Florida, USA. A very foreboding looking structure and an incredible ride to experience. I also have a brad that has a spooky house on it. I have used 3 black silhouetted figures - a cat, a spider and a ghost. The title, Terror, is one word and split in half.

Regards,

Dale

Here is Chantal's submission for Octobert....

Chantal Vandenberg - Scared

Hello Shazza,

Well I had a total blast doing this one - what fun! :D  Here is my layout "Scared" inspired by the Hitchcock classic and one of my all-time favourite scary movies, "Psycho".  I have been inspired by the large photo, bold red lettering, the theme and I just had to have my photo in black and white... for the full Hitchcockian effect!!!
I've also included all the criteria too; 1. Spooky House - it's in the photo and the subject of the layout; 2. A silhouette figure (bottom left) - a really great idea too for spooky pages!!!; 3. One word title split in half - another great idea!!!
Fantastic challenge - LOVED it!

Cheers,
Chantal Vandenberg

Jenn's submission.....

Jennifer Manis - Scary Card

 

 

Hi Shazza!  Just wanted to send in my project for October's challenge.  I did something a little different this time- I made a card, "Scary"!  I thought this month's poster would be a perfect for a card!  I have included all the criteria too. 

 

Thanks!

Jen  :)
