1st sketch for November at Stuck?!

Here is my layout for the 1st sketch at Stuck?! this month.

When I first saw this sketch I had an idea in mind, but you know how it goes, I changed my mind!!!
I wanted to put an envelope on the page with some journalling inside, but then I just loved the patterned paper so much I didn't want to cover it lol so I cut the paper to form a flip (?) and journalled
 in there. I also cut the paper behind where my photo is matted so I could use that as well :)
I really love how it turned out and so does Miss Lil !!!

Retreat Classes

Two posts in one day!!!
Yes I have some catching up to do, but I won't do it all at once....
These layouts are from the SFS Retreat I went to last weekend. It was such a wonderful weekend :) The photo below is all of us in our fabbo SFS sheeples shirts lol and the Green sheep is Peta (i'm kneeling on RHS end, dark hair andglasses) !!

Peta had designed some wonderful classes for the weekend and I am loving my pages!!!

The last two photos are the one layout and are inside a plastic divider sleeve. Although it took a bit longer to do I so love it!!!! and I think I might even try it again.

So if you are thinking of attending a retreat go and check out the website, but be warned there is HIGH DEMAND!!!!!
Thanks for looking xxx

Get Picky

Happy sunny Sunday!!!
Can you believe it the sun is out!!! OMG!!! I am so over the rain and miserable weather :(
This layout is for the Inspiration Challenge over at Get Picky. For those who haven't heard of it it's a scrappy challenge site for multi photo layouts.
I was inspired by the bright colours, the shapes and as I am a sweets lover, the happiness the photo made me feel :)
And here is my layout:

Get Picky has two challenges a month, a Sketch and an Inspiration one. I was a bit late getting my sketch done, but I will share with you anyway!!

I kept the page pretty simple:

Thanks for looking xxx

I'm back!!

I am home from my retreat to Pete's Place!!
Had a wonderful time and it was so fab to meet some of the girls in real life whos' blogs I follow:)
I have about 20 layouts to share with you, but probably won't be until next week when I get around to taking photos and plus I don't want to spoil it for the girls retreating next weekend.
Peta conducted some wonderful classes and we also got tutorials from some very talented girls who were willing to share their knowledge (thank you).
While youre blog hopping why don't you pop over to the very talented and generous Kirstys Blog. She is having a giveaway to celebrate 100 followers (you will probably want to follow along after looking she is truely inspirational).
Good night, I'm off to catch up on some zzzzzzzzz's

Here they are!!

Well here are my recent layouts. Hope you like :)

The first one is Octobers Challenge over at the 1, 2, 3 Challenge Blog. This month's criteria was the colour green, the word go and a hand-drawn and hand-cut title.

This next one is the monthly sketch challenge over at Scrapbooking from Scratch. Love how this turned out:) The papers etc for this one are from a We're Savvy Kit over at Scrapbook Savvy.

 And this last one is for the sketch challenges at Wicked Princesses. This is based on Sketch one for October. Used Crate paper on this one (a fav for sure) !!

TFL xxx and hopefully I will get to scrap again this weekend:)

Stuck Sketches

Well I have been meaning to join in the fun at the Stuck Sketches Challenge Blog, but time always seems to run out:(
But this month I HAVE!!!!!
It's a photo of my grandmother that I have had in my stash for a while and too frightened to scrap :)
And here it is:

It's been a while...................

It feels like so long since I've blogged. Sick kids, visitors and camping have taken up all my time!!! But I did manage to do some scrapping on the weekend. I am just waiting for the sun to co-operate so I can take some pictures and share them with you :)
I am getting super excited about Peta's Retreat!!! Only about 14 sleeps to go!!!  Last year I only went for the day on Sunday, but this time I am going all weekend :)
Now I just have to get organised and print some photos and tiday up my scrap stuff so I can pack it. Or I guess I could just buy all new stuff......Have you seen the gorgeous kits Petas been loading in the shop???  Better not, divorce might be on the cards!!!!!!
Well hopefully I will be back later with some layouts to share.
