Layout overload......

I can't believe how much scrapping I've done since my last post - 7 layouts!
And I was sick for a few days, so I am just amazed!  I had a little add up & am  blown away by the total I've done so far this year  - 38 LO's + the fabric mini album....I am stoked!

This one was Manon's colour challenge for the Feb CC at Scrapboutique - to scrap a school photo using the school colours....I thought this was a fab idea & loved this challenge!

This was for the monthly challenge at Scrapbook N Bits - colour challenge using blue, brown & cream/white.

I'm really not happy with the glimmermisting on this....one day I might just get the hang of it! LOL

Scraplift challenge at Bon's for the Feb CC.  To scraplift a gorgeous LO of Min's that you can see HERE!

and to also use felt, bling, paint & strip journaling.  I painted an old scrap piece of corrugated cardboard & dragged it across the cardstock to get the stripy effect that I have acheived.

This one is for Karen's roast at the Feb Scrapboutique CC.  I love how this came out!

Another Scrapboutique CC Challenge - a sketch challenge from Em & to also use alpha's & numbers as a border.

This one was Chels' 123 challenge at Scrapboutique - to use 1 school photo, 2 patterned papers, 3 different edges on your PP's ....and because 1 + 2 + 3 = 6 ....6 embellishments (which I found really hard!!!) lol

& the reason Joel doesn't look too happy is because he wasn't impressed with his mother wanting to take yet another photo!!!

& last but not least.....this one is for the Feb WIOIN sketch challenge that you can check out HERE.

It really is an awesome sketch, so why not give it a go?!?!

Well, that's my LO overload for now....until next time - happy scrapping!

Woooohooooo....

I had been thinking for a while now, how cool it would be to go on a cruise.....so late last week, I stopped procrastinating & I did it!!!  I booked for us to go on this ......

P & O's  Pacific Jewel

Doesn't she look magnificent!

We aren't going until October this year....so there's a bit of a wait - but boy I am excited already!!!

Not alot on the scrappy side of things that I can share just yet....but I do have a few little sneak peaks ...

Plus this LO that is for the CC sketch over at Bons...

That's all I have for now.

Thanks for dropping by & happy scrapping! :)
