Explore : Prompt 5 ~ Friday Project

I chose to make a layout with the map circle embellishments I made. Although I do scrap myself, I tend to do it with other people in the shot, so I made sure that I used a photo of just myself - a self portrait, in fact! Unless you think I'm not alone because "Frankie the Bump" is also in the picture.

Sketchy Thursdays Second Chance

Couple of posts today for Sketchy Thursdays. This first one is a Second Chance challenge. It didn't come together exactly as I'd hoped. My pens bled a bit more than I was expecting them to and the doodling isn't that doodled. Ah well.


This is my 13th birthday party. I'm the one in the dodgy stripey jumper, Alice band and parrot ear-rings. You might not be able to make it out, but the cake was a butterfly - hence the butterfly paper and punched butterflies.

Have also included some hidden journalling for our inter-team mojo challenge this month.

Bonus embellishment! I took this picture outside and ended up with this lovely Ladybug. :)

Sketchy Thursdays 4.1

Here I am in Niagara on the "Journey Behind the Falls" tour in 2006. I've even found my entry ticket to include on the layout. Hoarding everything does finally pay off!

No patterned paper in sight and yet this took ages and used so many different supplies. I've taken to writing what I've used on the backs of layouts so I can remember what came from where. I might not have enough supplies to stock a shop like some of my friends (who know who you are...), but I'm getting more items now from more places and I want to be able to recall which bit came from where!

The tag says "A roaring watery kind of noise" which is a line from Red Dwarf. Bonus cyber cookies if you can tell me which episode it's from! Anyway, it sure was roaring and watery and I needed that fetching yellow mac.
