It's been awhile....... :)

It's been quite since I updated so I'm just going to load them all up. Some are DT work for Scrapbudz and Scrap Pile, some are challenges and some are just coz......

So in particular order (and maybe with a repeat or two) -

I've joined another forum.....scrapbookcaptical.com.au
A challenge there was to recreate a card or use it for inspiration. I recreated it using my stash.


Another challenge....had to make a tag
and then use it on a layout.....
A mini album of our little holiday when the van broke down a couple of years ago......

Another plain one for me....it was a negative space challenge....and if you know me well enough, you know I love a good challenge!! This one forced me to step outside my box because I don't do negative space very well.

A double page...not a common sight anymore.....
The left and right side of it.....
Using transparency in the middle of the page....
Showing off the transparency...

Some of these are for the six weeks of summer competition that run was by the lovely ladies at Scrap Pile. Some are for the challenges that were on the Scrapbudz site. Unfortunately Scrapbudz forum was closed down due to private reasons as was the Shabbychic Butterflies and Bows challenge blog. Lucky for me though I have found the ladies that I chatted to on Scrapbudz on other sites and have joined those forums - more chatting to more ladies and more challenges to participate in!! LSS is loving all these completed challenges because it means a whole lot of new work to go on display!!!!!

Another card....
Very plain and simple for my style but I love it....everything I tried to add just didn't fit so I just left it.

Last update for the moment...

I've joined another forum...... Scrap pile. Another lovely friendly bunch of ladies that sure like to talk. They are running a fabulous competition called the Lazy Days of Summer. It's running over six weeks and has a wonderful prize at the end. The first week of this comp was a water theme and we had to use paint somehow. I splattered paint over the background - that was so much fun - I also used glimmermist on the flourishes and H2O's on the monster.
This one is a sketch challenge for Scrap With V.
And this is my entry for January's Black With 2 challenge blog. The criteria was black background, crisp white, snowflakes, glitter and lace.

A hot chocolate challenge at Scrapbudz....using chocolate background, orange and white. I wasn't sure about the colour combination but I think I made it work.
This one, I'm afraid, is a total lift. I saw it in a magazine and really liked it, so I copied it. I had these photos of Declan and Avram wrestling one day and knew they would be perfect for this page.

Another two from the Scrapbudz cc....the top one is one of my challenges....54321 Christmas countdown. 5 Christmas embellishments, 4 different colours, 3 layers in one section of the LO, 2 word title and 1 photo. The one below was a blind challenge. The circle around the "photo bauble" is acetate. Again I changed a few things around to suit myself.
