I learnt some new things and some tried some new things that I will share another time but today I just wanted to show you some scrapbook pages completed for challenges closing today.....
Over on UKS Mini Owner is a well known scrapper and she has a blog and runs a monthly sketch challenge as I shared before. This is the March sketch.....
and this is the page I made
Over at SJ Crafts Blog there is another challenge to be inspired by .....
I took my ideas from the colour palette....shades of brown, blue and cream, using several photos, using square photos and images of water. I really love the page I made of my hubby and son when we all went on a local walk.....
I turned this image from Sketch N Scrap......
into this layout that doubled up nicely as my weekly UKS page using the photo from 1 photo 20 words (we had to use numbers as part of the challenge, feature yourself, pic of yourself and visible journalling)
I loved being away for the weekend and can't wait to do it again (sadly not for several months I suspect!). I will be back to share more pages and something else I made soon.
Some lovely pages,Ruth.
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a lovely time, Ruth! I was supposed to have gone to a scrapping weekend too, but life had other ideas... I hope they all had fun (maybe that is where you were).
ReplyDeleteThree great scrap pages. I think the second is my favourite - I especially like how you used the photos and found inspiration in the colours. It worked really well.
I thought it was this weekend - glad you had a fabulous time.
ReplyDeleteGreat pages - I especially love the SJCrafts inspired one - such lovely colours and page design and LOTS of journalling. Super!
Sounds like my kind of weekend Ruth! Lovely pages, the natural colours and textures give a real outdoorsy feel. Thanks for playing with us at SJ Crafts :o)
ReplyDeleteLove these..in particular I love the middle one...well done on a great selection.

ReplyDeleteThanks for joining in the SJ Crafts challenge! I love the vintage-effect on your photos and the doilies cut in half on your challenge page! x
ReplyDeleteIt was just splendid to be able to catch up again and I can tell everyone that the page about your walk with your hubby and son is even more impressive in real life :).
ReplyDeleteWonderful work with all those neutrals - well done!
