UK Scrappers Simple Recipes Challenge - August...

Hi Everyone,

This is my layout for the UK Scrappers Simple Recipes Challenge for August. We were given a list of options to use but didn't manage to use them all. I chose to work with the colour scheme and I struggled with the sketch but did an interpretation of it!

The photo is my husband Lee on the beach at Wembury in Devon. We were staying at Langdon Court Hotel for our friend's Andy and Gen's wedding last month. As we were there for 2 nights we decided to take a walk down to the beach and as you can see from the journaling it was a little further than we were expecting!

Thanks for looking!

Three layouts and a card...

Morning Everyone...

A couple more layouts that I have done recently, these were inspired by some of the UK Scrappers challenges in July. 

This layout followed the Simple Recipes challenge, I used the colour scheme and gold accents.

The photos are from our friends Andy and Gen's recent wedding down in Devon at a lovely hotel in Wembury...

 For this layout I used the House Challenge sketch...

The pic is our godson Freddie hitching a ride on Lee's shoulders when he was over for the Easter weekend...

I followed the July Week 4 challenge for this layout, we had to use the colour scheme, be inspired by Alice in Wonderland and use letters and numbers in the title.

I used some pics of our friend's kids having tea after being out for Christmas lunch last year...

And finally a card I made for my nephew Ralph's 1st Birthday. I had the little monkey stickers from an old card set so thought it was about time I put them to good use!

I had some bits left over so made a little sign to hang on his door...

UKScrappers 2014 Summer Scrapbooking Challenge...

Morning Everyone!

My lovely crafty friend Niki is hosting the Summer Scrapbooking Challenge over at UK Scrappers. She has posted 10 different challenges that you have until the end of September to complete. There are loads of fab ideas and if like me you have limited time they are great for kick-starting a layout idea quickly!

Challenge #1 - follow a sketch...

And this is my layout...

Challenge #2 - Happy Days of Summer...
We had to use a summery colour scheme or summer related photos, so I used bright colours to scrap this summer photo of me and Lee cooling our feet at Wembury beach...

UK Scrappers August Challenges...

Hi Everyone!

I have managed to do 2 of the UKS challenges so far this month. The first is the Week 2 challenge, and we were tasked with using a one word title, something yellow and to include flowers or insects. This is what I came up with...

The next layout was for the August House Challenge, we had to use a large photo (5" x 7" or bigger), 4 x patterned papers, tags or journal cards, a pinch of green and some buttons or beads.

Another Card Class...

Morning Everyone!

I was at one of Niki's card classes at the beginning of the month and we made 7 x fab cards and a notelet.

Loving the ombre effect with the different coloured card...

These three would all be good male cards, and as I always seem to have very few male cards these were needed!

The little thank you notelet...

Thanks for looking!
