Happy Scrappy

I am not sure why but I am totally in the zone for scrapping at the moment, I love totally immersing myself in a page and I often lose track of everything else.... I actually think that can be a healthy diversion from some of the not so happy scrappy moments of life. The downside is I totally forget I need to cook dinner or clean the house.........ooops!

Each month over at UKS Simple Recipes suggest a palette of colours, a sketch and a technique. Thi month showcased green, grey and pink, using strips of paper, a fab sketch and dry embossing. I also combined it with another Sketch N Scrap birthday challenge this time from DT member Lisa challenging us to use 2 or more project life cards, it worked.....


I woke up thinking of scrapping this morning so got up and made another page in less than 2 hours (a miracle for me!) I used this sketch from the Memory Nest


and with a bit of twisting and turning and one photo instead of 2 I created a pretty page


Party poppers is a challenge from  Kelly, another Sketch N Scrap birthday challenge asking for confetti on the page so perfect for my Dandelion.

I wonder if I can fit another page or 2 in before the end of the day!

  1. I love the pink, green & grey combination, with the beautiful apple blossoms. It makes a great page.
    And the confetti with a dandelion is inspired. Very pretty!
    You've obviously been relaxing and enjoying your scrapbook page making - with lovely results!

  2. I love losing myself in my scrapbooking, painting,art journaling, etc. Losing track of time is what happens when I'm really enjoying myself.
    I love the dandelion page (the second one).

  12. Who needs food when scrapbooking feeds your soul! Such a neat idea to use that confetti - looks like bits of the dandelion are drifting off the page. And such soft and pretty colours in your top page - perfect!
