A scrappin' challenge

Shimelle has invited everyone to take a photograph that they love and 'make something of it'. What can be better inspiration for creativity... something you love!

I chose not one but 2 photo's of me and DD. If you follow my blog you will know I don't post many pics of me, I am so NOT photogenic! Therefore I am really not keen on having my picture taken as I am so self critical and always think I look fatter, uglier, stranger etc etc than I thought possible! Sadly DD is becoming more self conscious and is not keen on being in front of the camera most of the time either (unlike DS who seems to be a right poser but also the camera seems to love him!).

So, when we were away in Egypt earlier this year, myself and the kids were mucking about with the camera, taking it in turns to take the shots and sometimes I just held the camera at arms length. I actually really loved these 2 photographs and had to make them into a layout.

There are 2 fabulous new scrapping challenge blogs and I want to enter this LO into both of their challenges...

scrappin' silhouettes uses a sketch (which I have adapted to suit my ideas..I love sketches!)

scrapping with I did it creations asked for a green and brown layout (My favourite colours!)

How could I resist....
