<br />
It has been great to see so much inspiration from this side of the pond and as a result I didn't have time to join in any USA challenges this year.<br />
<br />
UK Scrap Addicts is the new kid on the scrapbooking block and came up trumps for the scrapbooking event of the year hosting several challenges...several co-hosted by for the love of pretty paper Facebook group....all of which I loved and completed.<br />
<br />
My final page for the NSD challenges was to scraplift a page from the scrap version of Chinese whispers.<br />
<br />
I was inspired by Niki's page but my layout has taken on a life of it's own!!Thanks for a great challenge...here is my page...<br />

<span style="color: #666666; font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">I have just started to store all my embellishments in colours so it made it easy to find little bits and pieces to work with the page.

<br />
I have had such a fantastic week scrapping...last weekend<a href="http://www.shimelle.com/"> Shimelle</a> introduced a list of challenges for National Scrapbooking Day and I have been working my way through them.<br />
<br />
This weekend I went away for the inaugral Like For Ever Kit Subscribers Retreat...it was amazing! A wonderful group of talented scrappers in a wonderful venue (the Woodlands at Hothorpe Hall) fab food and lots of scrapping!<br />
<br />
So here is what I have been up to....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPybaCqbt3Ps_NJGcJcTV5K8L2OJYU8sCi7MQEK87FSMhwZ4Yzwv1b0sc1gM7UfVqYgmET74wDMDEpSw8uTtc-_TGY4PGJBwhXgPSgo1CBRgbzaI62jd9tvjgTnRtllV6FD59WUvYIYU/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="316" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgDPybaCqbt3Ps_NJGcJcTV5K8L2OJYU8sCi7MQEK87FSMhwZ4Yzwv1b0sc1gM7UfVqYgmET74wDMDEpSw8uTtc-_TGY4PGJBwhXgPSgo1CBRgbzaI62jd9tvjgTnRtllV6FD59WUvYIYU/s320/010.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
this is for Shimelle's first challenge where I went monochromatic, used 2 selfies, hearts and old and new stash! I also used this page for the weekly challenge over at UKS<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
<br />
For challenge 2 'something of value' I used a page kit (prepared by Julie as a gift for each of us at the retreat), changed a few things to make it my own and came up with this layout of hubby and I, a relationship and person I truly value.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXh7g6bOsvZY2mXx8Lvf42ybrWDnCrdPMJGFEPhYBKCZ07j5t0yjgheNCbx_rIvpF0Qcg9Z9TO2V_Gh2NcZqSigrTHrc3ybYZVJSLyn3KLsyi3eWeEUdB_G-fsuaanUCVHpo27nzaszFA/s1600/LFE+weekend+117.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXh7g6bOsvZY2mXx8Lvf42ybrWDnCrdPMJGFEPhYBKCZ07j5t0yjgheNCbx_rIvpF0Qcg9Z9TO2V_Gh2NcZqSigrTHrc3ybYZVJSLyn3KLsyi3eWeEUdB_G-fsuaanUCVHpo27nzaszFA/s320/LFE+weekend+117.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<br />
Shimelle suggested a colour block for her 3rd challenge and this fitted in perfectly with the sketch we were given at the retreat...I opened my gorgeous new Simple Stories Life in Colour bits and pieces... just perfect!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
I used this picture of my Dad and I for the older photo challenge. He passed away 18 months ago and it is still difficult to scrap about him, but I loved this simple page and wonderful sentiment cut from a sheet of Simple Stories Heart collection.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
The large photo challenge prompted me to use this picture of my son from several years ago taking my the professional photographer at the football tournament. Sadly he has been unable to play any sport due to illness for several years now so I haven't yet journalled on this page as want to talk to him about it.<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
this page combines the UKS monthly House challenge (a sketch) with a magic theme from LFE (so it had to be Harry Potter!) and Shimelle's frame inspired page. I used 5 different frames 3 of which I altered to fit the colours/style of page.<br />
<br />
I didn't complete a page for the circle challenge sadly, but I did make this page for the colour challenge which I really enjoyed...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
My final page used a photograph taken for the UKS snap photography challenge this month (spring flowers) combining it with stash from Shimelle's first collection...I initially thought I didn't have much but managed to find a cut apart double sided sheet, some ephemera, some stickers/alphas and some cork embellishments. So other than the black cardstock I only used Shimelle's first collection and ended up loving the page.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 16pt;">I love Christmas!

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><span style="line-height: 16pt;">Do you document the festive period in a particular way? Do you take part in December Daily or Journal Your Christmas or just do your own thing? I haven't always managed to </span><span style="line-height: 21.3333px;">finish my journals in the past but I love looking back at the completed pages. Not all of the Christmas ranges go with my colours or style and some won't even fit in the album as they need to be fairly flat. Making a few of my own embellishments definitely works well.</span></span></div>

Last weekend I was part of the 4th Bloggers retreat organised and facilitated by the ever talented <a href="http://just-jimjams.blogspot.co.uk/">Jim Jams</a>. We have been firm friends since the very first weekend in Shropshire when she kindly offered to collect me from the station,then sat next to me and shared a room with me and she had never met me before!

I loved looking at the creative journey the page made, the similarities and the differences, each page wonderful and unique... I am not even sure which one is my favourite.<br />
<br />
I hope you enjoyed looking at our travelling layouts and hopping around the country with us, who knows maybe I will blog again soon!furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-68266926332670984512015-05-15T18:00:00.000+01:002015-05-16T07:28:50.422+01:00Focus your Craft and Soul .... the blog hop<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">...a WRK Insta Album Kit - enter to win by commenting on all the blogs in the Focus Your Craft & Soul blog hop! The giveaway closes on Sunday the 24th of May at 10pm BST, and is open internationally.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.299999237060547px;">Jennifer asked us </span><span style="background-color: white;">to ''feature some kind of creative project based on the theme of 'Focus'. This can cover a variety of ideas on how to focus your crafting, about living in the moment, making sure you appreciate the little things, or how to use focal points. You could also just feature icons like targets, frames, arrows, triangles, and cameras. Or do anything that the word 'Focus' inspires you to!''</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Initially I had the idea to try a new technique on a layout, focussing on the word 'love', but as the time approached I changed my mind, almost at the last minute! On Tuesday <a href="http://aliedwards.com/2015/05/day-in-the-life-photos-words-may-2015">Ali Edwards</a> inspired me to join in with 'A Day in the Life' for the first time.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I have never focused on one day before, I used my android camera to take different photographs throughout the day to capture the ordinary moments. I decided to keep my focus simple and use it as a kind of diary.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I took my final 24 photographs and made a 2 page layout...</span></span><br />

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I used one collection, Creative Agenda from Echo Park and one other Echo Park sheet of paper. In honour of Jennifer Grace I added a bit of bling to my pages too!</span></span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">This weekend I was lucky enough to get 2 complimentary tickets from <a href="http://www.showfilmfirst.com/">Show Film First</a> to see Testament of Youth.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I rarely go to the cinema so this was a huge treat.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">The film is based on the memoirs of Vera Brittain, a true story of her experiences during the First World War. At times I found it hard to believe it wasn't fiction as the harsh reality of life and loss during wartime was so hard hitting.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I really enjoyed this film and loved the Vera Brittain character as played by the talented Alicia Vikander. Her perspective of life during the Great War and the difficulties and heartbreak she faced were at times very moving.....yes I did cry.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I felt the film portrayed WW1 more realistically than other dramatisations I have seen (BBC1's The Crimson Field was far too 'clean and nice' to be real in my mind, though a good series) I do appreciate wretched scenes of mud, traumatic war injuries and death and dying can be difficult to make into a film that people will want to watch, let alone enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Despite the underlying theme there were moments when we laughed out loud and the cinematography is simply stunning. I read several novels and visited the Poppies at the Tower during the Centenary last year, this film is another way for us to remember ...lest we forget.</span>furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-67984324082569846172015-01-11T08:53:00.003+00:002015-01-11T08:54:14.513+00:001P 20W January 2015<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<i>New Year, New Start, Fresh hopes and dreams. Goodbye 2014, farewell Dad, 2015 will be a better year for us.</i><br />
<br />
I am trying to start again with blogging after a difficult 2014 and what better way to start then joining in with friends. Inspired again by <a href="http://creatingpaperdreams.blogspot.co.uk/2015/01/one-photo-twenty-words.html">Abi and one photo twenty words</a> to share my short story. Check it out and join in.<br />
<br />
Wishing you all a Happy New Year (though slightly late) and hope we get to see more of each other soon ..... cheers! xxxfurrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-61124261680357528002014-09-05T21:49:00.000+01:002014-09-05T21:49:27.122+01:00September scrappingSo no blogging from me for all of July and August.... there has been lots happening with summer holidays, work, illness, lots of catching up with family and spending most spare moments with my parents. My dad's health is getting worse everyday so time really is precious at the moment.<br />
<br />
Which brings us to September a season of new starts, a return to school and definitely more scrapping....<br />
<br />
This week on UKS we were asked to scrap and journal about a team or group and use 6 of one element.<br />

I have included the second photo just to show that I have really done the journalling and I used both sides of the tag! This is the judo group from DS's junior school...seems ages ago now especially as he has been unable to do any physical exercise for such a long time.<br />
<br />
I took inspiration for this page from the sketch at <a href="http://www.scrap365.blogspot.co.uk/2014/08/lets-get-sketchy_15.html">Scrap 365</a> which is very similar to the sketch that <a href="http://miniowner.blogspot.co.uk/2014/09/september-sketch-challenge.html">Miniowner/Sue</a> made for this month too....check them out and see what I mean!furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-20360356639367276352014-06-29T21:53:00.000+01:002014-06-29T21:53:04.977+01:00More inspiration from ShimelleSo today I managed to make a couple of cards plus 2 layouts..... there is a third but currently it lies unfinished in the craft room.... I am hoping I may find some time to finish it before Shimelle's challenge deadline tomorrow night.<br />
<br />
So today I used the sketch <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1969/sketch-to-scrapbook-page-a-photo-and-a-banner-welcome-to-a-weekend-of-online-scrapbooking/">found here</a> and made this page<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I added several layers, 3 different mists and flipped the sketch to suit my photo....loved using a 4x6 PL card as a mat for my photo and title and a matching 3x4 tucked behind for my journalling.</div>

My second page was based on another Shimelle sketch found<a href="http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1906/sketch-to-scrapbook-page-repeating-simple-shapes/"> here</a></div>

This page came together really quickly as it is so simple, just 3 6x6 sheets and some washi tape ..... not sure I like the patterned paper tilted to the side but I went with it and like the page overall..... loving sea themed papers and embellishments (who doesn't love an anchor..... this one is for you 'The Nonna' so you can see my fetish for anchors put to good use!!)furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-81852450397823165652014-06-28T17:33:00.000+01:002014-06-28T17:51:00.184+01:00Shimelle's challengesLast weekend over at Shimelle.com there were several fabulous challenges. I was away celebrating my Mum's 80th birthday with lots of family so was unable to take part at the time but have managed to join in since with these pages<br />
<br />
Firstly there was a challenge to <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1972/scrapbooking-your-significant-other/">scrap your significant other</a> so I used this colour combo from <a href="http://sjpapercrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/june-challenge-summer-colours.html">SJ Crafts blog </a>challenge ....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BSiywd3GmprpYzpmK1gXakZYrAGfvPL6pC1iuWkXj6Jkb_Kl-ep-zQXhI3ePadyTBtRlAt9rPkHpq7eiaTgdLvYbNUujcedlJFAX08ywC8eWGj_p7LvuwFzu9JShngVPsILlFZzPioY/s1600/sjcraft.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg9BSiywd3GmprpYzpmK1gXakZYrAGfvPL6pC1iuWkXj6Jkb_Kl-ep-zQXhI3ePadyTBtRlAt9rPkHpq7eiaTgdLvYbNUujcedlJFAX08ywC8eWGj_p7LvuwFzu9JShngVPsILlFZzPioY/s1600/sjcraft.jpg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
and combined this with the weekly challenge at UKS to use the sketch provided, ink/mist and be inspired by the word 'sun' and made a page about my 3 significant others....<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSt1RdxVpSllRQuVmi3XyfDHUskrHa5ARRoCEmXWOdm01Dw52g9VoNzTjxWlsaKXXBLfFD7xvZrCN6qczpZe9Vb9IWKYImkMi7eIkdylNxC1RGAyfuoD7GfQ6qy1sqUyqVsDCFCx0seV4/s1600/2014junewk4.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhSt1RdxVpSllRQuVmi3XyfDHUskrHa5ARRoCEmXWOdm01Dw52g9VoNzTjxWlsaKXXBLfFD7xvZrCN6qczpZe9Vb9IWKYImkMi7eIkdylNxC1RGAyfuoD7GfQ6qy1sqUyqVsDCFCx0seV4/s1600/2014junewk4.jpg" height="320" width="318" /></a></div>
<br />
I actually had a bad mist accident and as I removed the top of the ink I poured a lot straight onto my page! Luckily I have managed to hide it and replaced some of the papers I had originally planned on using. It also fits perfectly with a line in the scrapping bingo challenge#3 at <a href="http://scrapandplaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/scrap-play-challenge-3.html">Scrap & Play</a> (use a punch...hearts and chevrons, use mist...orange mist seen on page and chipboard....clouds)<br />
<br />
Next Shimelle had a <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1976/scrapbooking-colour-schemes-with-pink/">colour palette challenge</a>, it had to include pink (one of my least favourite colours) but it fitted in perfectly with the UKS house challenge using this palette with the pinky coral colour.... (actually the SJ Crafts colour combo also fits the challenge rather well!)<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
so I used <a href="http://myscrapsandmoresketches.blogspot.co.uk/2014/06/my-scraps-more-sketch-84.html">My scraps and more sketches</a> #84<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
to make this page featuring gorgeous piglets from a visit to a farm at Easter.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJeegxp4HxpulSoE7Ez1vXrCnWjIpzdtjIs1LqnJIOuc0F27OazcXE3wOpyCMEgEqKkEq1oeesTlTxaBAUAuC_EQs-a1q7VTnk13tH2w2U107Pk4ITcoZ7AhDcbw08XHpvF-Gh2AuqW0Y/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgJeegxp4HxpulSoE7Ez1vXrCnWjIpzdtjIs1LqnJIOuc0F27OazcXE3wOpyCMEgEqKkEq1oeesTlTxaBAUAuC_EQs-a1q7VTnk13tH2w2U107Pk4ITcoZ7AhDcbw08XHpvF-Gh2AuqW0Y/s1600/010.JPG" height="301" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
Finally I used <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1983/scrapbooking-with-mist-or-ink/">Shimelle's use ink/mist challenge</a> with an old sketch from My Scraps and more Sketches to feature another pig. He is part of a pair that my friend has bought and is raising them until Christmas dinner.....she has named them Sausage and Bacon!!<br />

Posting on a weekly basis, I have read lots about lots of Bloggers and now it is my turn to join in.<br />
<br />
I was 'tagged' by my dear friend, the fantastically creative and immensely talented K from <a href="http://kscraftycorner.blogspot.co.uk/">K's crafty corner.</a><br />
<br />
<b>What am I working on now?</b><br />
<br />
Firstly I am working on a Summer wish list. DD finished all her GCSE's on Friday and she is now off school for about 12 weeks and doesn't want to waste all the time. So far we have planned a few things like.... try baking cake pops, visit a zoo, go to an outdoor cinema or theatre, go on a boat trip, visit London for the day and complete Rinda's summer photo scavenger hunt.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Secondly I am working on a layout for 'Pass the page' started by Julie I am the first person it has been passed to. The page is kinda out of my comfort zone so it has taken me a while to try and plan what I am gonna do but it is getting there......sssshhhhhh I can't say anymore...... it is a secret!<br />
<br />
The third thing I am working on is my crafting space, I have removed an enormous ugly computer desk and replaced it with a simple wooden table. I am slowly working my way though all my stash, having a huge purge.... so far I have overfilled the recycling, given 2 bags to the second hand shop and I have 4 bags of stash to give away! Yet there is still more to do!<br />
<br />
<b>How does my work differ?</b><br />
<br />
I am not sure that it does really. I think not many things are totally unique in scrapping as we get so many ideas from pinterest or blogs or current trends or from the products available from the manufacturers etc etc. I guess I don't do really fancy stuff....generally I describe my style (and probably me) as simple! <br />
<br />
<b>Why do I create what I do?</b><br />
<br />
To keep the memories alive....my memory definitely isn't what it used to be, I forget so much. I think it is important for the older and younger generations and those that are yet to come. My wonderful Dad has cancer as many of you know and I have been asking him lots of questions and recording some of his stories. Time is limited and I don't want to forget all the details....ever!<br />
<br />
I have just one person to pass my blog hop baton to and that is the lovely Julie over at <a href="http://jsquaredscrapspot.wordpress.com/">Letting the Days Roll by</a>. I met Julie a few years ago at the first Bloggers' weekend and it was a total blast! I loved looking through her album and seeing stunning patients many of her daughter the super cute Puddleduck! Luckily we met up again at the second Bloggers' weekend, sitting near each other again and getting one of my favourite photos of me and my scrapping buddies K, Julie, Jemma.<br />

<br />
This page was totally from my imagination as opposed to taking inspiration from another page or following a sketch! I placed star stickers on the white card stock and sprayed a tealy blue mist over the page. Once dry I took my mad photo (my sister and I in a child's rocket ride!) and a pile of white/orange and teal scraps and moved them around the page until I was happy.<br />
<br />
I am sorry I ran out of time and didn't make as many pages or enter as many challenges at <a href="http://jennifergracecreates.com/">Jennifer Grace Creates</a> as I would have liked. Thanks Jennifer for all your hard work and inspiration it is appreciated.<br />
<br />
Now fingers crossed I win the prize as I totally need the anchor washi and the anchor roller stamp (slight obsession with anchors has developed in the last few months lol!)furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-8972160042732913692014-06-14T23:47:00.001+01:002014-06-14T23:47:21.016+01:00Simple layoutI am just back from a 14 hour crop.... it was great fun as always but I think I did more chatting and looking at other people's work and stash!<br />

I am so looking forward to the summer and sitting by a pool at sunset again (or anytime really!) Must dash as England are in the middle of playing Italy in the world cup currently drawing one all..... are you following the football???furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com12tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-8726535895454190132014-05-31T13:46:00.001+01:002014-05-31T13:58:36.138+01:00Happy ScrappyI 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!<br />
<br />
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 <a href="http://createdbylisa.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/birthday-bash-card-challenge.html">DT member Lisa</a> challenging us to use 2 or more project life cards, it worked.....<br />

I used a hole punch to punch circles and then made 3 flowers, sticking them in the bottom left corner of the page, I covered them in the blue paint that forms a border around 2 edges. The doily from the layout above was used as a stencil and I used green and blue mists over the page. I stamped the circles and added 2 different washi tapes</div>

I challenged myself ....instead of just completing a line on <a href="http://sjpapercrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/may-challenge-bingo.html">SJ Crafts</a> bingo card I was going for 'full house' and I actually managed it! Using a border punch on one edge of the torn vellum, tying a metal embellishment to the page thus creating a knot and of course using mixed alphas in the title. Along with all the previously mentioned additions I used everything.....but I don't think it looks too much do you??</div>

<br />
But I am back and I really enjoyed going to my local crop yesterday and making some pages.....<br />
<br />
First up I used this sketch from <a href="http://stucksketches.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/may-1st-reveal.html">Stuck</a><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
and I made this page featuring my 2 children<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv4X8IBO5ZrVXU2cR7DojFu97sPt1x8odkheu7sCkyu5Kyvgw2TNLCpwcyTKygRkXrCfDfYp_M58VeUyb5tTwnmve3TOjkCMaTxH-VUhhFrcSFqmOlqxqegjlwJD4p30s1UL1Kf9wsQaU/s1600/009.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgv4X8IBO5ZrVXU2cR7DojFu97sPt1x8odkheu7sCkyu5Kyvgw2TNLCpwcyTKygRkXrCfDfYp_M58VeUyb5tTwnmve3TOjkCMaTxH-VUhhFrcSFqmOlqxqegjlwJD4p30s1UL1Kf9wsQaU/s1600/009.JPG" height="393" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
it also fits perfectly with <a href="http://scrapandplaychallenges.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/scrap-play-challenge-2.html">Scap and Play</a>'s Flowers challenge (to use something on your page beginning with each letter in the word flowers)<br />
F = flower<br />
L = layers<br />
O = one photo<br />
W = washi tape<br />
E = enamel dots<br />
R = round sequins<br />
S = stickers<br />
<br />
I realised it also fits the bingo challenge bottom line from <a href="http://scrapbooking-fortheloveofpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/happy-birthday-sketch-n-scrap.html">Kerry's blog</a> as DT member for Sketch and Scrap as they celebrate their second birthday<br />

<br />
It also fits the bingo challenge at <a href="http://sjpapercrafts.blogspot.co.uk/2014/05/may-challenge-bingo.html">SJ Crafts</a> (mixed alphas, torn paper and knots on my bunting) but I am entering another page for that as not sure if I can enter twice!furrypighttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947203940702238872noreply@blogger.com21tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5739908549633342731.post-19622453611073113592014-04-30T22:30:00.003+01:002014-04-30T22:30:51.965+01:00Last few challenges for AprilI recently visited Leigh on Sea in Essex and took several snaps using Instagram (I am loving playing with Instagram now that I have a new phone and my Project Life pages are full of small instagram photos!).<br />
<br />

<br />
The letters are large spotty chipboard transformed into blue using promarkers,blue ink and clear embossing powder. The addition of red twine reflecting the nautical theme. I stamped and paper pieced the boat and also stamped the anchor (and embossed with silver) and the fish. I added the silvery coloured twine to the anchor..... a different bunch of techniques using up lots of stash.<br />
<br />
I was inspired by Relly's post over on <a href="http://www.shimelle.com/paper/1993/weekly-challenge-make-the-most-of-your-title/">Shimelle's blog</a> to 'make the most of your title' so it is big and bold.<br />

<a href="http://scrapourstash.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/stash-challenge-13-spring-colors.html">Scrap our stash #13</a> calls for Spring colours, a paperclip, a journal card and at least one 3 D embellishment, which worked rather brilliantly with this sketch from <a href="http://sketchnscrap.blogspot.co.uk/2014/04/sketch-n-scrap-54.html">Sketch N Scrap</a>...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Combining the two I came up with a Spring based Layout using pink, blue, mauve, yellow and blue. My journal card is behind with the bird paperclip attached to help pull it out. My 3D embellishments are punched birds with 3D wings and a pearl eyes to give both movement and texture.<br />

<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">at first glance it isn't a colour palette I would normally use, but as usual I am always up for trying something scrappy out at least once! I grabbed some papers and set to work....</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">I used this sketch from sketchabilities, but didn't actually enter the challenge as per usual!</span><br />
