A Layout

Its been soooo long since I have done any scrapbooking I cant even remember. I was looking for something in my draws and came across this film strip I had done last year for a sketch and never got around to finishing. When I saw this challenge on Tamara's website a couple of days after I dragged it out and decided to finish what I had started. Sorry the photo is a bit blurred. Photography is not my strong point.

The Big Merino

For those of you now familiar with Australia, they have an obsession with big things. Yep thats right all around there are big things, The big banana, the big prawn, the big spider etc etc. When my mum and dad were here last year we went to the Big Merino and I have finally put it onto a layout. We have also been to the big banana but sadly those photos have got lost. Must ask mum and dad for a copy sometime.

This is a double layout I did a few weeks ago but havent got round to posting. As my camera was out today I though I would share, I quite like the concept.

Tamara layout sketch 91

Another layout, found it quite tricky and I mostly like it but not sure about it. MMMMM. Allsorts of bits and pieces used today, stampin up card stock, not sure on the paper, thickers alphabet letters (red), other Karen Foster Design, and random ribbon.

123 Scapbook challenge April

Using an old photo of me at age 2 years, my goodness I was a cheeky monkey. I used Kaiser Paper to cut out the flowers, stampin up cardstock on the base, thickers alphabet letters. I like this one.

Bec layout

I have taken to having a go at the scrapbook establishment challenges each month. Aprils is out and as it happens to be my day off I though I would have ago. I am really pleased with the result, the paper I had was one that I had been waiting to use and it fitted in perfectly with this months challenge.

Ashley and friends

Another go at a layout.

Time goes by

Having a go at another sketch challenge, My kids through the ages.

Ashley through the years

I am sure I will get killed for this, but I tried a challenge on Scrapbooking Australia and it was quite difficult for a novice like me. But I managed and am reasonably happy with the result, it did use up some of those odd photos you dont knwo what to do with.

Oh Dear

Unfortunately on completion of a layout on the back of anthter page I realised that I had done it upside down. Whoops. So I had to redo my one of the dog (Snoop) The new layout I think is much better than the last one. So overall not a complete disaster.

Skipppy

Well today I had a go at a layout competition, nothing ventured nothing gained. Mine are crap compared to some, but hey you gotta be in it to win it. Sort of wished I had mounted the photos on a background colour to make them stand out more, but I quite like the finished article. This is my start of my second week of scrapbooking since giving it up. Many reasons, the main one being that I did it through creative M***ories not sure if I am allowed to say, and I found their layouts to be quite formal and boring. Then I discovered card making through Linda Higgins a Stampin up co-ordinator. I bought stuff and it sat in the cupboard until a few months later when from some reason my inspiration hit. I made card after card after card.

Some layouts

I have sussed how to do multiple uploads, getting better all the time.

Another double layout,.......ooooh arent you impressed.

Rebecca and Rachel have been friends since we moved into this house on July 3rd 06. In fact we don't even need to ask where Bec is or vice versa. Rachel goes to her dads every other weekend, and guess what, so does Bec, so she too has another dad every other weekend LOL. Its quite funny. If they spend a day away from each other its like a massive sulk and hissy fit. It's actully less painful to let them spend all their time together. Their grades where fabulous last year and the teachers now try to stick them in the same lessons cause the works so well together. Wait until I have scrapped the trip to Steve Erwin's zoo and the theme parks (of course Rachel came with us). I have a really funny one of Rachel, she will kill me. LOL. In fact I feel the inspiration to do it right now.

A layout

I had a go at a layout of me and Hub, I quite like it, but my photo skills are crap. Another thing to have to learn I suppose, LOL. Well here we go. Mind you I have warned him that there is room to remove LOVE and add Divorce if he doesnt watch his step......
