August Scrapping

The month has started off well...managed to jump start the scrapping by using Michelle's recipe scrap. Loved how this turned out...thanks Michelle for the inspiration.


Next one is for Scrap the Girls August Challenge & scrapping the girls in your life. With that in mind, I simply could not go past scrapping photos from the last Forever Always Retreat...always good fun! The next retreat is Oct 29th to 1st Nov, if you are interested, pop in here for more info...we would certainly love to see you there.

This next one would have to be my fav at the moment...had lots of fun doing the 123 Challenge using a blurry photo, metal tag & 5 staples.


Have a great month!

July Challenge Layouts

This month I've managed to complete a few blog challenges...woohoo! There has got to be some advantages of being stuck at home with sick kids.

The first one was for the Forever Always July Cybercrop, criteria being photo of sisters, only 2 pp & 50+ words of journaling.

The next one for the 1,2,3 Challenge, where we had to use an altered photo (how cool that I'd been playing with Jessica Sprague's Photo Editing class. Brushes from her House of 3), use paint on stamps & polka dots.
This one for White with 1...donimant colour white, plus purple & circles. Had fun with the glimmermist again & more photo editing!

This one for Puzzles Sketches using a speech bubble, 'once upon a time...', pinked edges & a rectangle. LOL, I couldn't go pass the title of 'once upon a time a very, very long time ago, my desk was clean!' It didn't last long!!!

Next one was for Scrap the Girls which was a colour challenge of black, orange, white & pink.

Scrapbooking @ Forever Always.

Wow, where did last month go??? It's been a very busy month for me, so sadly not much scrapping...well certainly not as much as I would like! There was so much happening over @ Forever Always, it would have been great to have participated more!

The first two layouts are for this months newsletter article on 'everyday' scrapping. LOL, can you tell where I spend most of my time when at home???

'Natural Beauty' is my take on this months sketch.

The next layout was for the 'Sonia Says' challenge...or in this case 'Shelly Says' following her list of criteria.

I did manage to complete a layout for the June Cybercrop...this was Renae's recipe scrap.


& the following two are from the 'Birthday Extravaganza'...
...sketch challenge

& one of the colour challenges.
