Evil Stare!

The final picture in the series of me eating peas, drinking Ribena and looking evil. Made this one for Shimelle's Colour Challenge - to use coloured pens. Very glad I forked out for a bunch in my last Hobbycrafts shop.

Party Time yet?

The challenge on UKS this week was to scrap the preparation or aftermath of a celebration. Well, I never take before or afters of parties / celebrations so I had to think outside the old box for this one. One day we'll be having two housewarming parties, so I guess we're currently in a very lengthy party preparation at the moment.

This is my layout:



Also have included pink, minimal journalling and used one of the sketches.

Forde Abbey - again

Another layout with this months Sarah's Cards kit and another picture of Forde Abbey! It was really photogenic, so all the pictures couldn't be helped.



I've also used this layout for one of the days in Shimelle's Colour Challenge. "Try cutting motifs from sheets of gift-wrap or scrapbooking paper and decorating with gems to make cards or embellish layouts." The challenge was actually for PJs or paper, but there was no way I was going to carry that off!

Maya Road Bird Book

Thought that I wouldn't just make layouts from this months Sarah's Cards kit, so I used some of it to make this Bird Book. I've not photographed all of it as the pictures I used are old slide scans of me as a Little Person and they're already pretty fuzzy!






I didn't bother with loads of journalling, mainly because I don't need it, but also because I just couldn't make it fit. Besides, I can't even remember where I am in most of these pictures!




I'm also using this Bird Book for one of Shimelle's Colour Challenges - to use acrylic paint. The covers, edges and lots of the chipboard elements have been acrylic'd.

Sarah's Cards - June Kit

The new kit arrived yesterday morning and rather than stroking it like I did last month, I cut into it as soon as I came home from work and made my first three layouts from it.

John and I took our Melman the Giraffe puppet to Paris in May - so I have loads of pictures of him "standing" in front of various landmarks. Luckily his fur matches the kit, so:


Finally I'm scrapping the picture of the brilliant Sam Adams bottles. Well, the bottles are just bottles, but their ex-contents were brilliant! I took the pic deliberately to scrap it at some point and even kept the caps for that purpose.


I'm not so convinced by this one, all the frames within frames and only using one paper and one sheet of Bazzill. Anyway, this is one of the pictures that John took in the Musee D'Orsay, his favourite painting by Manet.

Still have plenty of kit left!

Earth Tones!

This is my go at an Earth Toned layout for the June 20th colour challenge.

White or Light!

The Colour Challenge for June 19th is for white and light colours - so I've gone for some New Year frost.
