Sketch challenge

I have finally got my entry for Lesley's challenge over on Craftswap Forum.

Challenge layout

I've actually done some scrapbooking. This is the layout I have made for Lesley's May challenge on the Craftswap forum. This month's challenge was for:-

One or more outdoor photos

Yellow and green

Some flowers, either as embellishments or the paper

Some ribbon

These photos were taken on a trip to Anglessey Abbey in the Spring, which is a beautiful day out.

April scrapbook challenge

Lesley's challenge on Craft Swap Forum this month is to include:-

Water themed photos - my daughter in the pool on holiday in Turkey

Something round - patterned paper cut into a circle with the cricut

Something blue - a hand cut corner or the brads

Some stitching - doodled stitching on the blue corner

Here come the girls...

....well, a bit older than girls. This layout is for Lesley's challenge on Craftswap Forum. These photo's were taken last July at my friend Sarah's wedding. We all work together at the local pre-school where we all wear the same uniform of red and black. It was such a surprise when we all turned up and were still wearing the same colours, black and white. We don't scrub up too bad.

Grumpy

I've just completed this page for the Scrapbook Challenge hosted by Lesely over at Craftswap Forum. For this cahllenge we had to use 1 photo, 2 patterned papers, something metal and some journalling. Although this photo was taken quite a few years ago, I still see the same grumpy face on occasions.

Christmas Scrapbooking

At last I've got my mojo back. I thought it would never happen, but I've been busy this morning completing 3 layouts for the January scrapbook challenge set by Lesley over at Craftswap Forum. They are 3 very different layouts from different years and are all of my daughter. The colours are not your traditional red and green Christmas colours, but rather a more modern twist.

You will also see that I had a helper in one of the photo's.

Halloween scrapbook L/O

I have just completed this page for the Scrapbook challenge over at Craftswap Forum. This challenge is for November/December and the criteria was Autumn colours, some ripping/tearing, something sparkly and something squiggly. i think I've covered them all here.

Scrapbook challenge

The scrapbook challenge for October over on Craftswap Forum has been set by Lesley. This month's challenge is to use one photo of one person, two patterned papers and three or more types of embellishments.

I received my gorgoeus Cosmo Cricket TSV from QVC on Friday, and i am going to be using the albums to make a family scrapbook to record photos from the past. The first page I have made is of little old me.........I was so cute once.

Something old, something new

The scrapbook challenge for this month over at Craftswap Forum is to use something old as in the photo and something new which is the stash. Here is my layout for this month using a photo I found of myself at the age of approximately 3 with my Mum at the local park.

Scrapbook challenge on CSF

Lesley has set another great challenge this month over on the Craft Swap Forum. This month's rules are one photo, one colour theme, stitching and make some embellishments.

I have used my favourite photo of my daughter which was taken a few years ago while on holiday in Turkey. I've used a main colour theme of brown/cream and cut an arrow using my Cricut and hand doodled stitching around it in gold.

Scrapbook challenge

This month's scrapbook challenge, set by Lesley on http://www.craftswap.co.uk/ was to do a double layout. I've never done one of these before and is was quite a challenge.
