More scrapbooking!

I am so grateful for Shimelle and her challenges for NSD last week, I loved them all and have been trying to find time to create pages to fit them all! My attempt at Challenge 1 was posted earlier in the week (using patterned paper as a background).


Here is my take on Challenge 2, create a triangle of embellishments

I think this is the first LO I have ever made of just me! Last October the children were playing in the leaves and I was taking photos, then I decided to play too so I gave hubby the camera and he snapped a couple of me that I actually liked!! I do love the Autumn, the colours of the changing leaves are beautiful and it is one of my favourite times to take a walk in the woods.


Challenge 3 is adding a border between two photos and I chose 2, taken the same day as the Autumn ones of me.




The border is very simple from MME it is adhesive felt, the scalloped edge on the L is punched out circles, DD hand made the paper flowers for me after I showed her how and I added buttons cut with my fab Die-namics die. I have slightly changed the title and added the journalling but cannot show you as it has some personal info.

Now do I have time to fit in Challenges 4 & 5 before the end of the weekend??!!!

  2. How nice to see you on a page! We all seem to forget to scrap ourselves, unless someone reminds us... That is a fun page - you look very happy in the photos.
    I love the funny expressions on the girls' faces on the second page. The border is lovely.
