Shimelle's Pretty Paper Party

I have signed up for this 4 week course by Shimelle.

As always it is amazing but I am not sure how much I will get done of it but here is one page that I completed last night from lesson 1. Excuse the poor photography but it is getting so dark so early now.

And The Crumblies were born

A couple of weeks ago I went on our annual 365 retreat and we decided that we should make ourselves into a team on UK Scrappers. We couldn't decide on a name but whilst looking through the dessert menu at dinner on the Saturday night, we came up with The Crumblies.

I hadn't done any real life scrapping in ages and I went into overdrive and got loads done:

This was the speed scrap challenge that Barbara set us! She taught us how to make pin wheels - I went back and added them one of my previous layouts too! Had to stop myself from adding them to everything!

This is a double layout using a pagemap sketch from October 2011

This is using another Pagemap sketch from October.

This was using another Pagemap sketch - think it was Jan 2011.
Pretty sure this was using a sketch but don't know which one!
Another double layout:

A pretty productive weekend.

Shirley came for the day and showed us to do a few messy things too!

Roll on March for the next retreat!

UK Scrappers Weekly Challenge - October Wk 3

I have loved doing this week's challenge. We are having a big halloween party and so it really got me in the spooky mood!

The challenge was set by AllyCatD. The rules were to use a single photo in any size but the usual 4x6 size for 10 points, to use halloween colours for 10 points and to use a stamp in real life scrapping or a brush if doing it digi for the final 10 points!

I have used a square photo, Studio Flerg's Spookilicious digi kit and a brush set by Pureanodyne. All the cobwebs are done using brushes.

The photo is of Zoe in 2008 - she looks so young and cute.

Digi CJ - my page for Alibi

This is my digi CJ page for Marion aka Alibi. Her theme is Nature in all it's glory. I have used a photo of a dahlia that I took at the New Forest show - such a beautiful flower and so intricate in their shape.

I have used Dawn Inskip's new digi kit called Wrecked.

Shimelle Sketch of the Week - 12th October

I really missed Shimelle's sketch last week and couldn't wait to play with this weeks.

I have used Dawn Inskip's new Wrecked digi kit. I was looking through the many photos I took whilst on our 365 retreat, I was laughed when I noticed the similarity between the sock snowman line up and our group photo.
