SCRAPPING AROUND THE WORLD

 On the first of this month, my lovely- and exceptionally talented -South African blogfriend HELEN started a new Scrapping Challenge blog called SCRAP AROUND THE WORLD.

The first challenge is due in at midnight EST today, so I am JUST squeezing in with my entry!

The challenge was to create a layout using both this mood board and sketch:





Here's my take on it:




I have had this collage, which Kirsty and I had taken in the Photobooth at the wedding we were at earlier this month, lying on my desk just waiting for me to have time to take part in the challenge...as soon as I saw all that lovely turquoise/teal on the moodboard, I knew what I wanted to scrap!

Some close-ups:

I realise I've left it too, a little, impossibly late for you to take part in this month's challenge, but please check back for next month's one..the inspiration on the blog is truly amazing!

Hope your managing a little craftiness this weekend!

Thanks for dropping by!
Take care of you
Alison xx
