CCW March mini challenge

There’s a new challenge at Creative Craft World. All you have to do is make something blue that measures less than 12”x12”. Could be a card, a CJ page, an inchie, a twinchie, an ATC, an altered item, just about anything other than a 12x12 scrapbook page!

The minikit is gorgeous – it features the MME Be Happy collection. Here’s what I did with mine (and there’s tons left over!)

March Scrapology Challenge

Here is my page for the March scraplift challenge at Scrapology.

The layout features a photograph of Sophia at the beach with her Uncle Dave, who she absolutely adores. :o) I have used some gorgeous felt buttons from Susibee and there is glitter on the cut out flowers (sorry it doesn’t show in the photo).

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight.

Scrapping at Olney

At last I have managed to photograph and upload some of the scrapping I did on our team retreat at Olney last week. They are all for challenges at UK Scrappers.

The first two are the beginning of a series of pages I’m planning featuring photographs of Michael’s family. I have a box of them and my MiL, bless her, has written the date and who’s who on most of them which makes scrapping a lot easier.

Tim Holtz Configurations Box

Last week, whilst on our team retreat, we had a class from configurations boxLinda Elbourne. We had asked her to show us what to do with a TH Configurations Box … and she certainly did that. The Belles had a fab day and we all loved our boxes.

Do have a look at Linda’s blog A Crafting Journey – it’s well worth a visit.

The Studio sketch challenge Feb 19

now we are 60

 Here is the page I did for a challenge at The Studio. We were asked to use this sketch.

I saw the idea for the white  grids in the May issue of Scrap 365 on a page by Kirsty Smith. They are very effective but easy to do – just dip the edge of a piece of card into white paint and press it on the backing cardstock – simples!

Thank you for your visit. :o)

Now We Are Six by A.A. Milne

When I was one I had just begun
When I was two I was nearly new
When I was three I was hardly me
When I was four I was not much more
When I was five I was just alive
But now I am six, I'm as clever as clever;
So I think I'll be six now for ever and ever.
