Ooooh!!

I'm doing a little jig around here - look at this!! (Scroll down!)

Family Love

The challenge was : Scrap a layout of your favourite photo ( can be any thing or any one), and share the story behind it. (that means journal).

I have a lot of photos which are favorites for various reasons.  This photo was taken on my wedding day at church with my sister.  What's there not to love?! LOL!

Here I tried my hand at a more freestyle kind of way.  Layered the flowers, cut up stickers... I even glossy accented the lamp post for a 3D feel of the lamp.

Materials:

Patterned papers: Webster Pages, Creative Imagination

Stickers:  Webster Pages

Die cut: MME

Others: Robin's Nest Dew Drops, Stickles, Tsukineko Dew Drop inks

For Butterfly Craft Challenge 22!

Did this layout for Butterfly Crafts Challenge 22.

Was in a scraps and recycling mode here.  The marquee is a Jenni Bowlin Studios packing which I painted lime green.  The leaves were negatives of chipboard scrolls that I collected.  The base of the layout was Prima packaging.  Only the flowers were "new"!

The challenge was : If you could be any character in any TV show or film, who would you be and why? Would you choose someone who's character you relate to or someone who is a total opposite to yourself?

I struggled a little with this challenge as this thought had NEVER crossed my mind.  So in the end, I relented and told it as is.

Journalling: I do love watching TV. But I've never wished to be someone I'm not. I've never wanted to be a TV character. Partly I feel they are imaginary and also I guess I'm happy being myself, accepting my life. I'm really happy being just me!

Curtain Entertainment

Are there times where you do a layout and you just aren't pleased with it but have no idea why?  This is one such layout.

Nothing really wong with it.  Just rather uninpired kind of layout.  I think it has to do with too much white space that is too evenly distributed IYKWIM...

 

May consider taking it apart and redoing it.

Do you put up layouts that you don't really like on your blog?  I'm in 2 minds about it - since I've done it, why not but yet it's not a very good "sales pitch" is it? LOL!
Otherwise, I love the little border and using the left overs of my American Craft Thickers...

2 peas in a pod

Scrapping really helps me to destress.  It allows me to enter a little world of my own where it's only paper, embellishments and me...

My 3rd layout for Memorable Seasons.  Jill has been totally generous and such a sweetheart - providing me with so much goodies to play with.

Been meaning to scrap this photo for a while but keep forgetting.  It's a photo of the little one with DH in the background both with the same posture and look on their face! LOL! 2 peas in a pod, right?

Love the Bella Blvd Super Stud line! So CUTE!!  Did a lot of scissor work for this one.
