Finally some scrabooking!

I spend so long looking at blogs, books and scrapbooking websites that I never have time to actually scrap! However although I was away Saturday, I got really excited with all the ideas from NSD.

I had signed up for the online 'creative crop' over at Big Picture Classes and got sent challenges via email. I only managed one (though I am determined to try the '10 + 10 +10', which is TEN products, TEN techniques and TEN words). My entry was for 'out of the box' which was thinking beyond a 12 x 12 square shaped LO and to have bits sticking out (does that make sense to anyone!???)

this was my LO

a scraplift from the challenge email, though have yet to add my journalling! Can you see the wood behind? This is the floor so that bit of the page is out of the box!

It is my fave photo from last year of the children, taken on a walk in Scotland as they passed through a 'kissing gate' they hugged each other.... they can be very sweet sometimes!

The other challenge I mnaged to complete was Shimelle's using patterned paper as the background, which is something I never really do. I finally finished the LO that was from the first Scrapinspire sketch and I added journalling afterwards ( and there is some behind the Army title). This celebrates DS's 9th birthday party in the woods, in camo gear!

I also wanted to mention that Handmade Hannah is offering £15 to spend in her shop if you become a follower and mention the giveaway on your blog. I found Hannah's blog via UKS when she was posting tips on how to get motivation to scrap earlier this year, I have been hooked ever since!
