Scrap Like You Mean It - Week 8


This week was quite a challenge. You had to 'cut' your photographs - in a different way to the usual cropping. My LO is totally alien to my usual style, but I enjoyed doing it. The journalling reads: I work Monday to Wednesday. On a Wednesday evening I come home and 'blitz' the house and do the shopping. This leaves me with Thursday and Friday to 'play' - heaven!

This week's challenge was to use old photos on your LO. Unfortunately, my baby photos more than qualify for this theme! I have used Daisy Bucket 'In the Meadow' papers and border and Pink Paislee 'Holly Doodle' alphabet stickers.

Scrap Like You Mean It - Week 6


This week's challenge on UKS was to use ribbons on your LO. I don't often use ribbons on LOs, as I'm never quite sure what to do with them. I eventually decided on 3 strips of AMM 'Daisy yellow' ribbon, along with Paper Salon 'Enamoured' pps and a Making Memories 'Delaney' journalling note.

UKS Cyber Crop
















I haven't done any of the card challenges for last week, as I was busy preparing for, and then taking part in, the Cyber Crop over on UK Scrappers. There were some lovely classes and my friend Karen and I spent a lovely weekend doing as many of them as we could. I copied 'Wild Thing' almost exactly, as I loved it so much, but most of the others I have adapted to suit my photos/supplies/papers etc (still loved them though)
