WW1

Hello...how quickly has this month gone!!! I've written down so many fabulous challenges that I wanted to complete, but have only found time to complete one :/ guess I should be grateful for that one ;)

The challenge over @ WW1 was white + brown + doodling, here's my take on it...

I had an idea of what I wanted to do for this challenge, but time was a limiting factor last night, so this layout ended up a bit of a spur of the moment one...even the photo was a left over.

Thanks for stopping by...as always, thank you so much for taking the time to leave me a message. I appreciate each & every one of them x
Happy scrapping!

Happy Easter & thank you!

Weekend scrapping!

During the week I was so inspired to create a background after seeing this amazing layout by Kim Price! I'm a huge fan of her gorgeous work & especially her backgrounds, so late one night I played :) I got to finish the layout over the weekend. It doesn't compare to her creations, but I had a lot of fun creating...

Another layout created a couple of weeks ago, which I hadn't shared...trying to make the use of my much neglected chipboard. Who else hoards favourite stuff for special? It can't just be me???

I promise you that I'm not meaning to show favouritism for one child, who seems to be featured a LOT in my scrapping of late...it's simply that she allows me to take more photos & I'm making the most of it while it lasts ;)
Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments :) I really do appreciate each & every one of them x
Happy scrapping!

Scrapping & KIU...

I started this layout at the retreat I was at a couple of weeks ago. I simply had to use the gorgeous Loolabelle's ARty Stuff peacock mask that I had bought & teamed with the Imaginarium Designs peacock feather chipboard...I love it!
Photo credit goes to Michelle Winston.

Have you checked out this months challenge over @ Kraft It Up? It's a sketch challenge, which I absolutely loved...I had a lot of fun creating with this sketch from Scrap Friends! Check out the details here & see the 1st installment of layouts from the CT...I'll be back mid month to share mine.

Thanks for stopping by...as always, a huge thank you for all your lovely comments! I do appreciate the time you take to leave me one x
Happy scrapping!

March 123 Challenge!

Welcome to a new month & the first challenge for the 'new' 123 Challenge blog! Fabulous criteria this month...colour - black, word - year, technique - twine circles.

This is what I did...

Here's a close up of the texture paste with the alphabet crafters template...so perfect for a school theme ;)
