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...

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.

A couple of layouts...

Hi Everyone!

While I was at the GoGo Aquarelle Adventures weekend I did manage to get a couple of layouts of my own finished. 

I love this photo of Lee's godson Oscar tucking into a burger!  

These weren't such good photos of Lucy and Ellie however I really like how it captured them so I was determined to scrap them...

Thanks for looking!

GoGo Getaway March 2014 Part 3...

Hi Everyone!

What a nice day it has been, we have been into town and then had lunch at friends where we spent the afternoon enjoying the sunshine in their garden. I almost feel like I caught some sun!

So, I finally get round to posting the last lot of layouts that I did at the GoGo Getaway at the end of March. I managed to do most of the sketch challenges that they were running and these are the last of them...

We stayed over at our friend's Phil and Helen's place for New Year and the next morning their two girls, Lucy and Ellie dressed up for us...

I have been slowly working my way through our honeymoon photos (it was 2010)! so managed to get a few more done...

I loved this sketch challenge, a great way to use up small scraps of papers! This photo was taken at our annual Christmas lunch and Lucy was being very focused colouring in after dinner...

Another honeymoon photo!

And the final one was our GoGo group photo, we have never posed for it out in the Italian garden before so was a nice change...

Thanks for looking!

February Week 1 layout for Being Scrappy...

Hi Everyone!

We have a fab new Being Scrappy Kit for February... I love checking out the new papers, alpha and embellishments that I have to play with! For this week's layout I am using the pretty 'Flea Market' papers by Crate Paper and some sweet pics of Lucy (our friend's daughter) getting ready to go to a party (apologies for the out of focus photo, I didn't realise it wasn't so good until writing this post!).

I used the words side of the 'Market' paper as the background for my layout as I thought the words were perfect with the photos I had.

Next I cut a 2" x 11" strip of the spotty 'Tag Sale' paper. Cut 'v' shapes out of each end, ink the edges and stick it down approx. 3.5" from the bottom of the layout. Cut a 1" x 9.5" strip of the pink 'Pale China' paper and punch a fancy border in it, ink the edges and stick down just over the bottom edge of the banner strip. Then cut one of the manufacturer's strips to 9", ink the edges and stick down.

Mount a 6" x 4" photo onto a piece of the pink 'Antique' paper and stick down with a slight slant to the right of the layout.

Crop another photo to 3.5" x 3.5" and stick down to the left of the first photo. Add one of the pretty matching fabric frames that come with the Kit.

Cut out one of the tags from the 'Tag Sale' paper, ink the edges and stick down below the bigger photo. Make sure it is one that allows enough room to add your journaling.

I cut out some of the pretty plates from the 'Fine China' paper to embellish the layout. Ink the edges before sticking down.

Finish off with your title, there is a fab alpha that comes with the Kit and I decided to string it onto some twine in the top left corner.

Have a look here to see the two layouts that Niki has designed this week. If you like what you see pop on over here to see the full February Kit and all of the subscription details.
