Creative Craft World - Bright & Bold

Another Creative Craft World challenge entry. Will try and add more details later, when Baby is sleeping!! :)

Later: Right, he's not sleeping, he's screaming the house down thanks to his first jabs. :( I bought the Alphabet Soup {boy} papers because Adam has a play gym / bouncer with wild animals on and I thought I'd get plenty of use out of it. Never considered scrapping his socks instead!

Have finally used the last button made by my Teamie Sue.

Creative Craft World - Travel

Quickly uploading a challenge entry for Creative Craft World! Will come back and sort out details later - maybe...

Later: Adam now sleeping off his jab suffering. Poor mite. :(

I used a piece of DCWV as a background, but it's a wussy piece of paper and has curled up all over. Can't stand paper that does that, but it doesn't look too bad in the end.

John and I stayed at The Colonial Inn in 2005, but I've only just opened the hotel soap! So I decided to scrap it.

SLALT!!!

Not sure what I was going for with this. But I got it scrapped, had fun doing it and that's the main thing!

Two minutes later...

This is why I don't have time for "proper" uploads! :)

I end up with a baby on my lap. At least I managed to scrap though, my points are creeping steadily upward for June. I'll be very impressed if I manage our Teams 300 target, but I might get close.

Layout!

No time to fuss with a proper upload, so iPhone pics and emailing will have to do.

Made from the latest Quirky Kit, I couldn't bear to cut up the background pp - House of Three / Pink Paislee : Daily Junque, Tickets - so I left it all intact and just added to it. Actually that makes scrapping easier (although it does seem lazy) at the moment with a demanding baby to deal with!

The Next Generation

I scrapped! WooHoo! I did this at the on Bank Holiday Monday for the latest UKS weekly challenge. 6x4 photos, history (I went for future history) and use a punch - which I have!

Collectormania 2011

Adam is only four weeks old and yet he's already being dragged to conventions! Still, there was a damn good reason for it, David Blue was signing and I couldn't miss that. We even managed to be at the front of his queue, which was good as we were in and out leaving Adam no time to fuss.

Baby

Why is my leg getting warm and damp?!

Granfer & Frankie

Weekly Challenge - April Week 3

No patterned paper, no brads, buttons or blooms, one or three photos and not a 12x12 square. Check on all counts! Must try harder to catch us out, Sue! ;)

This is John's half-eaten plate of haggis and mash. I'd never eaten haggis before and found the concept way too disturbing. John, however, managed to convince me to try some and this is how much he'd eaten by the time I gave in and had a forkful. Well, haggis is bloomin' delicious! So I had to take a photo of the first haggis I'd ever had.

Sadly, I had no camera, just my iPhone and the dish doesn't look all that apetising in this state, but the idea is to record these special moments, and I have.

The Latest Batch

Much easier to do a whole load in one go than do a post for each layout. In each case I've cut into new paper collections.

Outside the Opera Garnier / Our balcony

Melman in Paris. I felt that Melman deserved some Steampunk Debutante! Used an October Afternoon sketch for this one.

In the Park in Edinburgh

I was very impressed when I noticed that the die-cuts in this collection matched up to the Buck Naked chipboard that I already had. Of course, I then read on the bottom of the die-cuts that they're meant to go together!

An old Pencil Lines sketch was used for this.


Outside Dartmouth House waiting for everyone to assemble for photos.

I already had some Material Girl, but with the Crafting Kit you also get the stickers, journalling tags and strips. They were all new to me, so I added some in.

PageMaps Sketch.

Melman Went To Scotland!

Thought I'd kill some time waiting for the baby by making some simple layouts of Melman!

Pencil Lines #230

Having tea at Scotland Street School, Glasgow.

One of October Afternoon's Thursday sketches.

Edinburgh Castle, Science Centre in Glasgow and meeting the statue of Greyfriars Bobby.

Felt quite productive making these, getting multiple photos scrapped in graphic style seems to be the way to go at the moment.

Easter

The CCW Saturday Scrap Map for this week.


John at Forde Abbey, hunting for rabbits to win us a Creme Egg! You had to follow the map, find the bunnies and then use the rubber stamp (bolted down to each rabbit!) to mark on the map that you'd located the bunny. Once all the bunnies were found, you got your creme egg.

Yes, it was a game for children and no, we didn't care that we were adults. :)

Duxford

My layout of the day for yesterday. Propped this one up on John's easel to try and get a better shot of it. Tried.

{My favourite plane, the Vought F4U Corsair. Also the Breitling Wing Walkers, a shot of the Balbo & Daddy and I in the beanfield}

Based very loosely on a page map sketch. I wanted a jumping off point to help me with scrapping so many photos at once, not something I'm terribly good at!

Had to do this just to use that gorgeous aeroplance paper. I love Cosmo Cricket, maybe it shows?!

Meteor Crater

Made use of a discount code last week and bought myself some boy-themed BoBunny, Blast Off! Figured it won't hurt to have some boy papers, even if the boy in question is now a couple of days overdue and starting to make me uncomfy.

The papers came really quickly and they're stunning. I wanted to cut into them straight away, but I was a little lacking in space related pictures. However, good old trusty Road Trip 2008 helped me out with these photos from Meteor Crater.

Had a quick play with my new alcohol inks to make a spacey nebula-like mat for my photo and I took the journalling directly from my Road Trip diary.
