Scrapping challenges

May has been the most prolific month ever for scrapping for me, I think NSD started it all off and I have continued to enjoy making pages since then.  I have felt very honoured to have 2 of my pages on a couple of websites.......


This page was made for NSD and has been mentioned on SJ Papercrafts blog today and although I didn't win I was chuffed to bits (and the winning entry has already been added to my scrapbooking board on pinterest as it is fab!)


Meanwhile this is the featured layout on the homepage of UK Scrappers (wow I feel proud!!  Is that wrong??  Still jealous of my chums who were chosen as Favourites of Shimelle on her NSD board though! See them pinned here)

I think challenges are the thing that motivates me most of all and I have managed a few this month. SJ posted a sketch challenge here , based on a page designed by Jennifer Grace.....


This is what I came up with (notice the use of sparkly bits especially for Jennifer, they are actually gold and bronze and not as dark as in the photo)


On SJ Papercraft blog was Lisa Jane's take on the sketch that I have totally scraplifted here.....




which I adapted to make this page


I have also been challenged by K to make 31 layouts in May an average of one per day, which means I need to make another 3 in just under 24 hours... wonder if I will manage???
