So, with lots of challenge blogs closing, I found a new one - Farm Quest whose challenge is to create something to do with the home.
I'm a tad behind in my scrapbooking, but this layout of Alex's bedroom door I thought, was perfect. Reminds me that my little man is growing up - fast!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
I'm married to a wonderful guy called Lee and we have two gorgeous boys - Alexander & Nicholas and a beautiful daughter Cassandra. I am currently teaching 6th form students Criminology, but was a primary school teacher before that. When I'm not marking or planning, one of my favourite hobbies is scrapbooking.
