UK Scrappers 2014 Summer Scrapbooking Challenge...

Morning Everyone!

I have finished off some more of the UKS 2014 Summer Scrapbooking Challenges that my lovely crafty friend Niki set iso now only have 4 more to do... and I have until the end of Sept to finish them off so should get them all completed!

This layout was for Challenge #3 which had me stamping the background for my layout, I just picked out a variety of words and symbol stamps and stamped away. It was actually fun to do and I am happy with how it turned out.

A close up of the stamped background...

My next layout is for Challenge #4 and we had to use frames, ink or mists and Project Life cards.

Here is the frame I used...

The ink and mists...

And the Project Life cards (homemade)...

Challenge #5 was to follow a sketch and use typography (like a Project Life card)...

The Project Life card I used was perfect to go with our wedding photo...

My final layout was for Challenge #8 and we had to follow a sketch...

I added a couple of extra photos as I had so many of our nephew Ralph at his 1st birthday party that I wanted to use them all...

Thanks for looking!

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...

Thanks for looking!

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...

Thanks for looking!
