THE FINAL TWO FOR SHIMELLE

I believe we have till tonight to get any layouts uploaded, for the Online Crop hosted by SHIMELLE last weekend.


I managed another two yesterday, but didn't get them photographed till this morning.


CHALLENGE #12


The challenge was to use one photo twice......I used this sketch from PAGE DRAFTS

and came up with this

This photograph of Stuart and DH is one I've been waiting to scrap for a while now, and I thought the repetitive picture idea would be ideal for it, as (as the journalling says) 'THE BIG PANCAKE' was read constantly for months! Stuart absolutely loved this story, and it was always the one he brought to us, and asked anyone who visited to read to him.

CHALLENGE#10

Something bold- use two pics on a bold background.

I used an old ice cream print from DCWV, which I've had for years ...I have to say I have used lots of older stash for these challenges, which I'm rather pleased about!

I used GLITTER GIRL'S layout for my inspiration for this one!

Although Kirsty looks as though she might be saying how delicious the ice-cream was, she was  actually telling me to stop taking photos of her with her mouth full! 

I reckon that's me completed as many challenges from the crop as I'm going to...time to tidy up a bit!

If you missed THIS POST, there's a bit of a giveaway at the end of it...you have till tomorrow night to leave a comment  to be in the draw.

Thanks for dropping by!

take care of you

AN EVENING INDOORS.....

...even though the sun is shining outside and my scrapping area is full of sunshine! 


THE REASON?

One terrified dog!...it's a Fiesta Day here and for the last two hours there have been firecrackers going off every two minutes(or so it seems!)...and Boo practically wants to sit on my head!

I have tried scrapping, but it's another difficult thing to do while you have a dog on your knee! I have given up and come indoors, turned the TV up loud (so she can't hear the firecrackers quite so much)..fortunately, 'PRACTICAL MAGIC' is on -and it's one of my favourite films. So no more scrapping..not that I've achieved much apart from printing off some photos today.

I went to pick a neighbour up from Alicante Airport this morning, and we stopped for lunch on the way home, so it was late before I even had a chance to look at any of  SHIMELLE'S CHALLENGES today...and, like I say. I'm now sitting here with this poor trembling dog on my  lap!

I hope you've had a good weekend, whatever you've done!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you

Shimelle's Online Crop

In case you hadn't heard, SHIMELLE is having an Online Crop, over at  her BLOG. I have managed to complete three challenges since last night....but you don't want to see what my scrappy area looks like right at this moment!


CHALLENGE #1

and here's what I came up with

I rotated the sketch and worked horizontally, but kept to the positioning of most of the elements....instead of circles, I went with stars..but I think you can still see the inspiration pic in there (somewhere!!)

CHALLENGE #2

Create a page using 3 or more Paper Collections

Another one for my niece's album

The PPs are all PRIMA (MELODY Collection), 

AC  Thickers for the Alphas

MME Fine & Dandy packaging for the Journalling Spot

Washi Tape from Paperchase... embellishments a mix of Prima  and AC....ribbon from my stash. 

CHALLENGE #4

Use Grey, Yellow and another colour

Another page done for the 18th Birthday!

I think you can see I chose blue as the other colour! The background paper IS yellow, though doesn't look it in this pic.

Am off to do a bit of blog reading now, to see if any of you have been joining in!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you
