Lets Scrap Sketch: 6-4-14 Messy Fun

This weeks sketch is up at Lets Scrap ... Pop on over and win some great prizes from Pic's and Tales.

The sketch :

I used the Left side of the sketch to create my layout.

I often attend class at a local Supplier that supplies teachers training.  During my classes I have become good friends with Sally.  We are now banned to the "naughty" corner.. LOL.. we sit in class in the corner and giggle and have a ball.. so fun !

This particular class of Liane was a very messy one... we were both covered with Orange stain by the end of it.

My layout using Bo Bunny papers.

Lets Scrap Sketch: 5-28-14

This weeks sketch has been posted at Lets Scrap.  
Remember you have a full week to create a layout and post on the site.  You stand to win prizes each week!
Hope to see you play along.

Here is the sketch we had to play with.

My layout.

I used photos for the Scrapbook Convention last year.  I enjoyed the evenings with my friends, we all stayed over at the Hotel in the evenings and had so much fun.  

Layout created using Prima Lyric range of papers that I had left over from the Scrapbook Extravaganza last year.

SCRAP AFFAIRS - I'm a Cover Girl

I am so excited.  I am on the Cover of the New Scrap Affairs Magazine.

This layout was created for the SUPREME SCRAP TOURNAMENT I was taking in March.  One of the challenges was to doodle a layout.  I have never struggled so much with a layout and this single took me about 1 week to do !  Normally I do them so fast.  
However, the hard work paid off and I made the cover.. Am so excited.  Thanks to Scrap Affairs for the honor !

Lets Scrap NSD#9 - Booklet Challenge

I just love Booklets and tags and flaps and folds on a layout, and this challenge by Ada was just up my alley !  The deadline is beginning June so come and play along.  Details HERE

I used this sketch for my layout.

I had an old M&M kit that I recreated and done this double page with hidden tags on the left page and on the right page I have added 2 x booklets that open up for more photos.
I really loved this challenge !  

Journalling:  Visiting Neville over the December holiday was great. However, he still had to work, so I took the opportunity to drive around East London and show the boys a bit of the town. We found the local Aquarium and actually were surprised by the great display of fish and the cute Seal Show. A great morning out with the boys !

Lets Scrap NSD#8 - Music Inspired Challenge

I am hosting Challenge #8 at Lets Scrap for NSD. You can find it HERE

You have to use a Lets Scrap Sketch and include Lyrics and a Music Title in your layout.  This is open to so many great ideas for a layout.

I used this sketch for mine:

Layout created of my sons friend JD (my other son), who went Hang Gliding with him.  I used the title I BELIEVE I CAN FLY and the lyrics for my journalling.

Hope you can play along !  Challenge end early in June.

Lets Scrap NSD#5 - White Challenge / NSD#7 Marriage themed Challenge

Still busy with my Challenges at Lets Scrap for the NSD month of challenges.

NSD#5 is an ALL WHITE  challenge hosted by Roulien.  WOW.. this one was hard. 

However I had fun with it and actually love the end result.  

Sketch used: I only used the left side of the sketch.

My Layout:  Created of my nieces wedding. Used white only and embossed all the elements to give them texture.  Then use lots of texture paste on my layout too for shadows.

NSD#7 is a MARRIAGE/WEDDING themed challenge hosted by Hanne.  You have to include a quote on your layout too.

Sketch used: (used the left side of the sketch only)

My Layout:  Again used photos of my niece's wedding.  These were about all the little details that make a wedding special with the quote:  Always create a place where there is a memory.
