Scrapping @ Forever Always!

Had a great start to September...scrapping wise, but sadly it's come to a complete halt! :(

This first layout was for a challenge set by our latest GDT...the lovely Miss Shelly. Criteria was * Old patterned paper from your stash *A big date on the page -use up some of those numbers * A pre digi photo. Thank you Shelly, had fun with this...& so brilliant to get thru some of those older photos.

This next one was for the September Cybercrop, using a Sketch courtesy of Becky Fleck & PageMaps

The next layout was for Renae's Recipe Scrap. Thank you Renae...I'm absolutely thrilled with the result, even though I somewhat strayed from your instructions! ;)
