Challenge #62

OK I've made this one a bit harder!! So here it is ...

You must create a ONE page LO which includes:
*pastel shades
*hearts
*twill or sewing
*one photo
*your own homemade embellishment

and here's one I prepared earlier!


I must admit I am pretty busy so I thought I'd give you a challenge I had done a while ago!!
*use pastel shades - Little Yellow Bicycle 'Fresh Print Clothesline' papers
*hearts - Fiskars Scallop Heart Punch, punched from 'Fresh Print Clothesline' sticker flowers with buttons
*twill or sewing - Twill around the butterfly
*one photo
*making your own embellishment - made the butterfly, I used the outline of the outside of a butterfly sticker (with me?? clear as mud??) stuck it on some paper & cut it out. I then wound the twill around the butterfly and tied it in a knot with the ends looking like antenna.

So waiting in anticipation to see what you guys create!!

Happy Scrapping!

Challenge #61 - Recapturing Summer

Hello again!! Long Holiday we have had!! Things have been a bit crazy in all 3 of mine, Jennie and Kris's lives, so time to do this has really been thin! But I think I might need a bit extra to do so here I go!!

So what have we been up to???
Me ... as most of you are aware of my husbands death I have been caught up in the dramas of court etc to do with that, as well as trying to adjust to a one parent household and dealing with moving and the kids. Things have settled into a semi normal routine so I have more spare time on my hands, also especially since my baby girl has started Morning Kindergarten.

Jennie has been crazy busy renovating her house!! Very exciting! She is busy painting and sewing curtains as well as loads of other exciting stuff! As well as that she and I are on the Better Scrapbooking Design Team, so that is also keeping us on out toes for sure!

Kristine has just opened up her own Scrapbooking Store!! Yay!!! It's called Scrap-a-Bull and is looking awesome at the moment! So that has kept her busy for a while and will continue to do so!

So enough about us! Here is the first Challenge of 2011 ....

Since the weather is getting cooler I thought this would be a good theme to keep us thinking about sunshine a little bit longer!

Recapturing Summer

Single or double page LO which must include something to do with Summer. It could be Summer colours, a summer photo, a summer title, anything to do with summer.
Challenge starts NOW and must be uploaded into the Trade Me Thread HERE by Sunday April 3rd at Midnight

Something nice and simple to get us started back into the challenges. I look forward to seeing all your summery creations soon!!

Happy Scrapping!!
