This was created as part of my DT work for Papermaze, using the May Kit. The photos for this layout show my daughters having fun on the beach at Falmouth in 2007. I love both sides of All The Shells paper, the pretty foiled shells and the waves, so I found a way to have some of each showing.

Girl Guides

Challenge 7 for the Bramford Monthly Scrapbook Crop, virtual National Scrapbooking Weekend Challenge. This time we were asked to use a sketch.

For some reason I had three copies of this print, which was ideal for the sketch. The photo is my sister and me in 1973, in our front garden, just about to set out on a guide day out. We would have been 11 and 13 years old. This one is for my sister's album.

This is the sketch:

I found some old papers from October Afternoon, Farm Girl collection, which had the perfect colours for the photos. I also used a sheet of Natural Bazzill and some Doodlebug Designs letter stickers.

The tags were cut with a sizzix Thinlits die set and I used a selection of ribbon and twine to finish these off. They were attached to the page with some Stampin' Up brads.

Thanks for looking.

Tiny Tots

Challenge 7 for the Bramford Monthly Scrapbook Crop, virtual National Scrapbooking Weekend Challenge. This time the idea was to use old papers and embellishments.

I used a photo I have already scrapped twice, so this third one means there will be one each fro Andrew, Catherine and Emily's scrapbooks.

I used a Page Maps Sketch and papers some ol;d papers I has stashed away from Bella BLVD, the collection was called 'Tiny Tots' hence the title of the layout. The letter stickers were all from old sheets of Doodlebug Designs - Simply Sweet and Teensy Type. 

I used a sheet of red Bazzill cardstock to trim all the patterned papers, I used some white scraps for the tag, photo mount and title block. I added a little red and white Bakers Twine to my tag.

This is the sketch I chose to use for this page:

Go Grease Lightnin'

Another Challenge for the Bramford Monthly Scrapbooking Crops, virtual National Scrapbooking Weekend. Challenge 6 to create a scrapbook page using scraps.

The photos for this one were taken in 2004, just before the Summer Dance Show, held at Dartford Orchard Theatre, by Silvera School of Dancing. Here is Catherine dressed in her Pink Ladies' Jacket for a tap dance to Go Grease Lightnin'. The show was called Movie Madness.

I had used these papers, which I think are from DCWV, they had been used to cut shapes from the Cricut to make a card, so were all incomplete sheets. I did a little machine stitching around the Natural Bazzill Cardstock.

The title was made up from:
Old pack of black glittery chipboard Thickers letter stickers, not many letters left, so could only spell 'GO'!
Scraps of  pink glittery cardstock and Sizzix Delicate Letters Thinlits Die Set for 'GREASE'.
Scraps of white iridescent card Little Letters Upper Case die set by Die'Namics for 'LIGHTNIN''.
The date is made from more Thickers letter stickers, in silver.
