Top 50 Monopoly Week 4 (Technique)


                                         Big Sister

This is my layout for week 4 of the Monopoly Challenge. I landed on Cutter's Lane and for this one, I had to do fussy cutting and use leaves. Just about everything on the page has been cut out (I still have a mark on my R thumb from the scissors), from the scalloped circle to the flowers and leaves.

                                         Cool

This week it was a colour challenge and I drew No. 5, which was Mono Medium and use tags. It's very hard to stick to the one colour but I did manage it.

                                         Pretty In Pink

SFS September Sketch


                                         You Make Me Smile

I did this layout in a bit of a rush to get it in on time. I didn't have a smaller photo and didn't want to cut too much off this one so I've kept to the original sketch but did it on a larger scale.

                                        Any 1 4 tea

This is a layout I did for the sketch this month. It's not a paper that I would normally use, but I stuck with it because the photos have a tea theme to them.

Scrapbook Boutique Blog Hop & Challenge August


This is my card for the challenge this month. I was going to do a layout, but this month has simply flown, so I had to do this card in a hurry, to get it in on time. I've used the colours in the inspiration, and used the little boy image.

Feeling Sketchy #66


This is my card for the sketch this fortnight at Feeling Sketchy. I'm giving it to a couple, so I tried to make it sort of half manly and half feminine and I think it came out pretty good.

The Scrapbook Store July Sketch


              Everything Is Better When Shared With A Friend

This is one I did for the sketch challenge at The Scrapbook Store. The title probably doesn't go with the photo, but I think it looked good there anyway. I have kept to the original sketch and with a few minor changes it's come out pretty good.

FWAB July Inspiration


                                         In A Magic Garden

This is my layout for the inspiration challenge this month. I have kept to the colour scheme and tried not to make it too girly. Caleb is in the photo and he won't thank me for doing him on pink, so I added in a little beach house and couldn't resist adding some of the toadstools.

Scrapbook Boutique July Challenge # Bloghop


                                         About A Girl

This month's challenge were to use the colours Brown, White & Turquoise. I had plenty of brown and white, but was lacking severely in turquoise and all I had were little bits & pieces, so that's what I had to use. It came up pretty well I think.

 This is my card for the sketch this fortnight at Feeling Sketchy.

Scrapbooking Top 50 June Scraplift Week 3 (Ebony's Lift)



                                         Imaginative

This is my layout for Week 3 Scraplift. I made a few changes but it still looks like Ebony's original and it was another one that was harder to put together.

Scrapbooking Top 50 Week 3 ( Lizzy's Lift)


                                        Family Time

 This is my take on Lizzy's scraplift for week 3 at the Top 50. I thought it would be easy but it was quite difficult to  put together, but I persevered and kept going. I think it looks something like the original.

This is my card for the sketch this fortnight.

                                          Sweet Dreams

This is my take on Charmane's scraplift  on the Top 50 site, for the June Scraplift Challenge.  Everything is there that's on the original, maybe a few minor changes. Charie takes such a lovely photo.

Scrapbooking Top 50 June Scraplift Week 1

SFS & Charms Creations Colour Challenge May


                                         Can We Go Here ?

                                          Free Soul

This is the layout I did for the sketch challenge this month. I've made a few minor changes but the outlay of the sketch is still the same.

                                         Posing Pretty

This month it was bling and buttons as the criteria. This is another rushed job as time just got away from me.
