Shimelle's Challenge #11
Using two different types of pattern....I used a paper with spots and a paper with diamonds and triangles....

The journalling reads:
We couldn't believe the storm we woke up to, the morning we were due to travel from E.K. to Newcastle. On the ten min. taxi ride to the train station, we encountered fallen trees, flying dustbins and other assorted debris..and then discovered that the trains to Glasgow weren't running. One brave taxi driver agreed to take us into the city...where we soon discovered ALL trains (and most other forms of transport) were cancelled in and out of Scotland. MANY cups of tea and coffee later, we eventually got a train at 4pm that afternoon to Carlisle, and had to get the Newcastle train from there.
The LO also qualifies for the challenge over at ANOTHER FREAKIN' SCRAPPY CHALLENGE using the topic 'storms' or 'Spring' and using this sketch
As I used the PICCADILLY line of papers from BASIC GREY, it also qualifies for SUSANNE'S IN GOOD COMPANY CHALLENGE and, finally, it met the criteria for a 'flower' challenge over at SCRAP FRIENDZY!
SHIMELLE'S CHALLENGE #5

Sorry the pic is at a dreadful angle...and the photos themselves aren't great quality, but I've resorted to copying some of my niece's pics from FB ..if I don't , I might never get this album done- I hate waiting for other people to send pictures!
I rotated the original 90 degrees....used 4 pics instead of one panoramic one..kept the pale background and the butterflies.
Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you

Two more great layouts Alison! The social butterflies was perfect for that challenge, such a great title.
ReplyDeleteVery nicely done! I love the title and the butterflies on the second layout. I was only able to get one layout done & posted during Shimelle's weekend, but I've been revisiting the prompts. I just love her and the challenges have been so fun! Great job on combining challenges!
ReplyDeleteThe weather has been awful here too today! you've done really well with Shimelles challenges Alison x
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a lot of challenge out of the first one. Both great LOs and I love the title and the rotation :)
ReplyDeletelove what you've done with these challenges, we seem to have gone back to winter here!
ReplyDeleteTwo great layouts, I love the 'social butterfly' title too!
ReplyDeleteThese are SO cool Alison - I am really impressed! I love that you have done some really adventurous things like the tree with the leaves blowing off - that is just such a great idea!! And all the butterflies!! I love how you have tied them in with the most perfect title - clever!
ReplyDeleteHello Allison - this is a great layout! Loving the tree and the blowing leaves! Love how you flipped the other layout! Thanks so much for playing along with Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge!!!
ReplyDeleteYou have two great layouts Alison! I didn't get to Shimelle's online crop at all - it looks like I may have missed a lot of inspiration!
ReplyDeleteYet another two lovely layouts and I too love the title on your social butterflies.
ReplyDeleteSo perfect having the leaves blowing off the tree! I love your title and the butterflies. Possibly I can't see well enough but the pic in the inspiration looks like she has thrown snow into the air so I am having a hard time tying that together with birds and butterflies. Your use is awesome, you should be the inspiration ;)
ReplyDeleteSuper lovely layouts on both. I love the flying leaves and the flying butterflies!
ReplyDeleteGreat layouts....and love the title of the second one.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, was this recently? Your tree with the flying leaves is perfect!
ReplyDeleteGreat take on the Shimelle challenges! You really got a lot of mileage out of that first layout, wonderful work!
ReplyDeleteFlying dustbins? Oer! I think I like flying butterflies on scrapbook pages better :)
ReplyDeleteWonderful creations! Love what you've done for the AFSC! Tks. for playing along with us!
ReplyDeleteThese are great! I always get such great inspiration from her weekends. Have you signed up for her new class?
ReplyDeleteI love your two layouts! Great storm page! The little tree Ickes nd the journaling is awesome!
ReplyDeleteGreat pages - I managed to get a few of Shimelle's challenges tackled too. I have a story or two I could scrap about weather delays too; how level-headed of you to get the picture. Thanks for joining In Good Company again this month.
ReplyDelete2 great layouts! Your butterfly layout caught my eye at Shimelle's blog as we used a similar design scheme! Thanks for sharing your work!
ReplyDeletewhat a very pretty layout - I love BG and am so sad that I missed the deadline on this. You did a wonderful job of combining all those challenges!
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are really great, I love the one with the butterflies xx
