Kit Challenge at Wicked Princesses

Hi everyone:)
Just popping on to share this layout that I am entering for the kit challenge over at Wicked Princesses for this month. You should pop over and have a look because the winner gets to be a guest designer for a month. Which means a free kit and a generous shop discount for a month!!!!!
Mine is using the Little Girl Kit:

 I love these photos of Lily with my grandmother. They aren't the clearest I know (pre digital camera) but she was the only one of my three children that got to meet Nan, so I am forever grateful to have these memories.
OK off to do the school pick up, TFL xxx

Retreat Layouts

Hi all!!!

Well on the weekend I went to Kate's Retreat!!! I had a fantastic time, meet some new friends and caught up with some old ones:)
It's such an amazing weekend away, so much food and yummy as well, great people who make you laugh till your belly aches and so much product to break your budget on :)
I managed to get 11 layouts completed, gotta be happy with that !!!
This one I LOVE!!!! I am loving the gray and yellow:) This is for the sketch site Sketchy Thursdays, it's there challenge for an April GDT (I didn't finish mine on time, but still so glad I did it)

This next one is the Blind Scrap #84 from Scrapbooking from Scratch. I am so far behind on these, which is a shame because the pages are always so great. But they are all printed up and ready to scrap, now just to find sometime LOL

This next one is the 2nd sketch at Stuck for March, me and my boy:)

Yesterday

Yesterday I took advantage of my 2 year old being asleep and the others away at various places and scrapped. Yep I ignored the mess on the floor, the ironing and scrapped!!! Why not I thought, it's quiet, no one is here to hassle me and so I did!!
And this is what I got up to:

Scrapbooking from Scratch monthly sketch challenge:

Sketchy Thursdays sketch from last week (I didn't finish it in time to enter the comp, but loved the sketch:))

And the Sketch from Get Picky this month:

I love the papers from this range, so bright and colourful and so versatile:) I picked up the kit from Scrapbooking from Scratch and have completed lots of layouts using it, both for the girls and Sam.

Well better get ready for swimming lessons, hope you all have a good weekend and TFL xxx

a little bit of scrapping to share

Hello :)

Longtime no blog, but here you go I have done some scrapping!!!
I have been without a computer for a while, but it is now fixed and  can continue my obsession with blog hopping and facebooking, must to my DHs disappointment LOL

First up Scrap the Girls for Feb. , a sketch challenge this month:)

A close up:

  Next is the Kraft it up Challenge. A colour challenge this month; blue, orange, black and Kraft.

1, 2, 3 Challenge; Colour CREAM Word ABOUT Technique UPCYCLING (my upcycling was using a old pattern paper, denium material on my button, the black frame was from some chipboard die cuts that I painted):

Show us you Stuff. This month had to be a layout about LOVE and have handmade hearts on your layout. You can also enter this layout over at Wicked Princesses for their DT Challenge for February. I stamped on some clear projector plastic with a heart stamp and stayz on ink and cut it into a heart for my title and also hand cut the hearts that I stitched onto the side of my layout:)

Savvy Sketch (by the way have you seen the fandabbeydosey Anthea on the cover of the Scrapbook Trends Create: Embellish Magazine) :

OK that is about it for me off to wash up before bed :(
