Sketch N Scrap #327

So I spent most of today scrappin' and got 3 layouts completed!!!  Go me!

The sketch below was quite a simple one, but I managed to find some papers that matched and came up with this layout of Cassie when she went up to stay with her friend Georgia in the Lake District last year. Georgia has two ponies and when Cassie visits she rides Fudge. Both girls entered a local competition that week and Cassie was made up to place and received a rosette to add to her others.

I've also entered this layout into Soul Scrappers one word challenge.

Both close on 30th April 2026.

Challenge Yourself #147 Friends & Sketch N Scrap Sketch #196 throwback

Where does the time go?  I can't keep saying I'm going to get back to it, so I'm just scrappin' when I can!

My offering of one layout, which can be entered into 2 challenges, by the skin of my teeth!

I used the theme of 'friendship' from Challenge Yourself (which includes a pic of me) and also followed the throwback sketch from Scrap N Sketch.

One layout done, a few more to go!

Rochelle Spears & Scrap with Stacey - Aug challenge

Despite being 4 weeks into the summer holidays, I've only managed to complete 2 layouts!  Busy busy.

However, I completed this one using Rochelle's Sketch and completed Stacey's middle line of her tic tac toe board (tag, circle and sticker).

   

Entries clopse at the end of August.

Lasting memories #749 - Team Bride

I'm really pleased with how this one came out. I used a sketch challenge that I liked from last month that I didn't get to do, so I used it here, with lots of washi tape for the strips.

I've gone with the first vertical column of metal (badge), gold (the colour of a couple of the washi strips) and a tag.

Lasting memories challenge is open until the end of May.

First Grading - Rochelle Spears & Scrap with Stacy

Making the most of a Bank Holiday weekend to get some challenges done with the many photos I'm still wanting to scrap.

The sketch that Rochelle Spears put up this month uses more than 1 photo which is great for me as that tends to be what I always have - more than 1 photo!  I did go a little rogue.. 

Scrap with Stacy has a Tic Tac Toe which I also included by using chipboard (arrow), tag, and word stickers, vertical 3rd column. 

Back in 2022, Alexander was really getting into his karate and was so proud to gain his first belt - Orange.

Both challenges run until end of May

Lasting Memories - Feb challenge: Sail Away

The challenge over at Lasting Memories was to create a 12x12" layout using 6x6" paper pad. 

The selfie Alex took of him, Mum and I, when we went on a boat trip to see the WWII Maunsel Forts the other year, was a perfect pic to be used and the 2 blue 6x6" squares in the middle of the doily met the challenge criteria.

The challenge closes at the end of the month

Challenge Yourself - Feb Challenge

I'm sooooooo on a roll!

I created this layout for the February challenge to use hearts on a layout, which I've done in the paper and the brad in the centre of the flower.  Really pleased how this one came out.

Link to challenge, which doesn't close until end of the month.

Love is in the air..

So proud of myself, I've done 6 layouts so far this year!

This one I created of my daughter a good few years ago, when she spent Valentine's Day with a lad who was the son of the lady whose pony she was loaning.  Her and Danny made a cute couple for a while!

So I've used Rochelle's sketch and met the diagonal line of Stacey's Tic Tac Toe of staples (on the tags) heart and chipboard. 

 

Both challenges can be found below and they don't close until the end of the month.
