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.

This weeks UKS Challenge:

Had to use the colour emerald, bling, poetry and movement. Obviously I can't make a movable digital layout, so I chose a picture featuring movement - a fountain.

A digitalfor the current UKS weekly challenge:


Stamping, random alphas in the title, contrasting colours and 1 of something (a flower). All done.

I took this picture deliberately so I could eventually scrap it, forward planning! ;)

Digitals from the Cyber Crop

I didn't do all my layouts as paper ones, there just wasn't the time (or the Bazzill!), so here's some of the digis that I made:


Katie Pertiet's Challenge using some of her Little Forest Friends papers. John and I before the party last Christmas.


Wild Child by Vicki for Scrap 'n Art. John and I at the retreat in Bath last year.


Down by the Lily Pond by Mel's Lightbulb Moments. Willow Beach, Arizona.

Digitals!

First up is my Father in a tree:



This one was made for the UKS weekly challenge. It'll be our turn in November, so I got this done before I go off on holiday.

Next we have my Father and John outside the Jane Austen Centre in Bath this past August.

This picture was taken in the grounds of the MacDonald Bath Spa Hotel, also in August this year. The grounds were certainly the best part of this hotel!

Finally I found a picture of Nutmeg that I haven't printed out yet! This is really the last one I have of her. I just had to make this into a LOLcat! =^..^=

I didn't have the right photos printed out for this one, so I decided to go Digi again.
Royal Theme - Edinburgh Castle.
Something Shiny - glass flower from Free Digital Scrapbooking.
Something Yellow - as above!
Something New - the background paper (Tomboys Rule: Green Weave) is my lastest Freebie from ScrapGirls and therefore the newest digi thing I have.
Use circles - I chose to use Shabby Princess Wooden Brads.

Other digital items:
Still Life Paper from Jenny's Scrapbook Place.
