Layout update.....

Just updating with my latest layouts from the past week or 2 that I haven't already shared......

This one is for the June Monthly challenge "A symbolic life" set by Em over at Scrapboutique.

We had to use at least 3 different symbols & to incorporate a shape (such as circle, diamond, hexagon, shield) on to our base cardstock.  I thought the October Afternoon "Road maps" papers were perfect for the symbols!

And this one was for Amanda's June Stash stomper challenge at the Boutique.

To use up old chipboard alphas as either a background, border etc.

I used up some old Heidi Swapp CB alphas - using up some of those letters that you're always left with in the pack!

This one is for the June sketch challenge at Scrapbooking from Scratch.

And this last one is for the June 123 challenge (which is back up & running this month after a 6 month break)

The challenge was to use the word "New", dominant colour of white & to use a paint spreading technique (I spread mine with a piece of corrugated cardboard - didn't quite get the effect I had hoped for, but oh well)

And that's all I have for now - not alot of scrapping got done this week.

Hope everyone's having a great weekend - thanks for dropping by :)

CC layouts

Just thought I would share some layouts from the cybercrop last weekend at Scrapboutique.

This first one is for the challenge that I set (as guest stylist).

The theme was "welcome home", so my challenge was to create a layout about your home.

Either your present home, 1st home, childhood home, holiday home, or any previous home at all.

The only extra criteria was to have "Home" in the title,

have more than 40 words of journaling

Use at least 5 buttons & some ribbon/lace/trim.

And here is my sample page.....

The next one was for Manon's sketch challenge.

To be based on an indoor or outdoor activity.

And this last one was for Em's Sunday roast (blind scrap)

This is my first attempt at a 8.5x11.

Love how this one came out....not sure if it's gonna get me hooked on the 8.5x11's though...lol

Thanks for dropping by....I should be back in another few days to update on more layouts :)
