Child's Play Challenge - Are you my Mother?

This weeks challenge is up on the blog and you can find the details here

and here is my take, I've used the photo before and it always makes me smile because James was saying while I queued up that I couldn't go on it, but I so proved him wrong - lol x It was taken at Hatton Country Park - such a great day and fab weather.

Products used : October Afternoon - Farmhouse Collection.

Title cut with my Cameo.

and did a cluster of embellishments.

Would love to see what you come up with.

Thanks for stopping by.

12 hr crop

now you would think that being a a 12 hour crop would help you produce loads and loads of layouts !!!! well not me. But, I did spend a lovely day in Shropshire with Skrapz who had organised a 12 hour crop which was mainly 12 layouts in 12 hours, I hadn't booked on the workshop but went to crop with some friends who I'm planning to go away with in November. Thanks Sam, Kathy, Zahra and Nicky for a great day.

Ann & Caroline (Skrapz) had produced some great layouts and a great format to get them all completed in the time, which made the all day very relaxing for the people taking part.

The none workshop were seated at the back of the room, and we had a great time catching up and putting the world to right - as you do.

I have decided that my Document Life pages needed a covering page, and following some sort of format, I decided that each covering page will be on Kraft Cardstock.

So these are my pages, this is a scraplift from here by Silje - just love how she has used the stamp.

The next two are basic. These where just papers that I'd cut up for my Document Life page protectors and just layered them on the page.

And my final one is using the Crate Paper - StoryTeller Tag sheets, again another scraplift from here by JC Chris. I used the title 'only me' because it what I say when I phone my friends. Even though it's a scraplift I have stamped and misted the cardstock to make it slightly different to the orginial one and omitted the bottom border strip.

Thanks for stopping by.

Why not hop over to the site and join in, I'd love to see what you make.

My mojo has come back ...

I recently went to my crop and did the sum total of one layout (which I still haven't finished), which is so not like me, maybe it was all the catching up I was doing, especially with Sheena who had joined us for the day - which was a pleasant distraction. When I came home I really couldn't be bother and basically for a few days after I just set in my room trying to think of what to do, so I was pleased that this week I've been able to get my head around a few things and try and sort some of my albums out, thanks to Shimelle's new class.

Following Shimelle's prompts have got me thinking about my albums and how to organise them, so over the coming weeks, I will be updating regularly on my progress to make my albums more readable, so watch this space.

In one of the prompts this week she talked about scrapping a photo and then having several from that event still to work with, so with that in mind I decided to do this. A double pager - hoot ! hoot!

Products used: Studio Calico - March 2012 kit

It started with this side first, and I found a sketch on Pinterest (love that place )you can find the sketch here. I turned the sketch round to suit my photos, anyway, has I was putting it together I decided to make it into a double pager.

I'm trying to use my older stamps more and came across these, a set of arrows from Blond Moments.

I also found a set from PaperArtsy.

Love the wood veneer people from Studio Calico.

Then I did these using the Studio Calico Sketchbook No. 10. Again using my Studio Calico March kit

Studio Calico Sketchbook No. 11
