BACK AT CAMP!

You may remember that I mentioned in THIS POST that I was attending (a virtual) Summer Camp over at SCRAP FRIENDZY.....then proceeded to go AWOL, due to my visitors. This week I got back to camp, and got these two layouts done.


For the first one I used was SHIMELLE'S  most recent STARTING POINT

The Camp Friendzy challenge was for the 'Nature' Badge:

To meet this challenge, complete a LO with SOME KIND of NATURE! It can be flowers, leaves, butterflies, birds, etc.

There are flowers and a butterfly on the LO

This beautiful metallic embellishment was handmade...and sent to me by the very talented MITRA

....I have been waiting for just the right LO to use it on!

For the second LO, I used this sketch from PAGE DRAFTS (which I rotated to fit my picture).....

and the 'GONE FISHING' challenge from Camp Friendzy:

For this challenge you will have to have 3 elements on your LO. First there needs to be some twine or string to use to fish with, second something needs to be tied (it's up to you if you want to actually tie a worm on or not ), third you need to have some blue on there for the water.

There is twine inside the scalloped circles, a tied bow on the button and lots of blue!

I am also linking up to THE SCRAPBOOKING SOIREE over at Jennifer's blog.

Hope you're having a good weekend...come rain or shine!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you

TRIPLE WHAMMY!

Today I resisted playing with my yummy new papers...though I have had a few occasions just to go look lovingly at them.....as I wanted to get my page done for SUSANNE'S IN GOOD COMPANY challenge. Each month she has been challenging us to create a layout, using papers and/or embellishments primarily from one company (she chooses a different Company every month). 

This month, the chosen Company is OCTOBER AFTERNOON...if you have any in your stash why not come and join us?

Being that it's too  hot here for my brain to do any serious work, I decided to take the easy route and use SHIMELLE'S most recent STARTING POINT

So I had a rake through my stash and found some October Afternoon 'CAMPFIRE' papers and some '5&DIME'...and here's the result. There's a mix of other stuff from  my stash in there too...funny how it doesn't seem to matter how much I dip into my stash, it never seems to decrease very much (if at all!)

The layout also works for one of the Bonus Challenges over at CAMP FRIENDZY

I only have a few more pages left to do for my niece's album, and then I'll get back to scrapping some of my own pics!

Hope you've all seen even a LITTLE bit of sunshine this weekend!

Thanks for dropping by!

Take care of you

THE BABY LAYOUTS....

......for my niece's album, that is. You may remember I mentioned that mum and dad had brought my niece's baby pics with them, so I have been scanning and printing in my spare moments..and even got a few LOs completed over the weekend.


I used this 'Starting Point' from SHIMELLE

 

and came up with this

and then, using this sketch from SKETCHABILITIES

came up with this one

I have left the journalling blank once again, but will be able to fill it in soon, as the Birthday Girl is having a pre-birthday, post-exam break here in just a couple of weeks time....beds are going to be in short supply here by the end of the month!

Thank you all for your supportive messages after STORYTELLING SUNDAY... as SIAN commented, 'what a wonderful bunch of people scrapbookers are'...to that I add bloggers too!

Thanks for dropping by!

take care of you
