Paris (in Florida!)

Just a super quickie to post another layout I did based on this weeks sketch at Pencil Lines...

The need for speed

Ah Sunday! I love Sundays it's always a relaxed day around here for us, we often go for a swim straight after breakfast then have a light lunch followed by whatever we want to do and then a nice family meal in the evening. Today was no exception, we've had our swim and lunch, the boys are watching the F1 GP and me and Beth are just gonna make a moussaka for later so that we can spend some time in the craft room together later. I think we're maybe gonna bake some cakes too, so that we'll have some goodies to take out on picnics this coming week.

Anyway, over at sassy lil' sketches this week is this sketch...

And here's my take on the sketch (only two photo's though which I suppose is cheating!)

This sketch was great for using up loads of leftover bits of patterned paper that have been piling up on my desk!

Where is Melman?

The story behind this layout is when Dan has an ache or pain we always call him Melman after the sickly

giraffe in the madagascar movie! So when we saw these guys at universal studios we just had to get a photo of them together.  It's based around sketch 114 at Creative scrappers and I've used mainly scrapagogo kit stuff here.

Stuck?!

I've found another sketch challenge blog called Stuck?! , they have a great sketch there at the moment and I thought it was perfect for the photo's I wanted to scrap of my guys and their quest to collect pressed coins....

m&m heaven

I just finished doing this layout about our visit to the m&m shop in a mall in Orlando. We were in there ages, and bought quite a lot of choccie too!

R & R

Just popped in quickly to add a layout I did to fit sketch 5.27 at Sketchy Thursday. Yet again it's another holiday one! I just have so many photo's from the holiday that I wanna scrap...I've done 38 LO's so far.....

I also managed to use up some really old stash too....happy days!

Relax

Relax... a great word for a bank holiday weekend. The weather hasn't been as great as it could have been, but we had  good time at our 'home' footie tournament yesterday, and have been swimming and just chilling out at home today, which means  I got some scrapping done!

Relax is also the title of this layout which I did for challenge #106 at Creative Scrappers.

A scrap lift

I don't often scrap lift pages...not sure why because there are so many fab ones out there, but one of Angies  called 'chillin in spring' really caught my eye....

and here's my take on it.... I think the way the title is done is what caught my eye the most...I knew it would fit well with this photo. Thanks so much for the inspiration Angie!

Sketchy Thursday 5.13

I'm a bit late with this one, since this week's sketch is up already!,  but thought I'd put it on the blog anyway!

Great sketch!

I have had fun playing around with this sketch from Sketchy Thursday.

Here's the LO I came up with...

It documents Dan's reluctance to have photo's with characters on our last Disney trip! He's such a great sport!

Castle

There's a fab sketch challenge at sketchy thursday at the mo, this is the sketch...

And here's my take on it.

I managed to use my new Martha Stewart doily lace punch,and used up some older papers and embellishments too! I really like circular elements on my pages at the moment!

Onwards and upwards

Spurred on by finally getting a scrapbook layout done at the weekend, I decided to keep going and this is what I came up with (Mainly using up bits n pieces from old scrapagogo kits) speaking of which, a new one will be popping through my letterbox very soon...Yipee!

TFL! x

Soaked

Blimey has it been a week since I last blogged? Where does time go I wonder? I could do with 36 hours days some times!

I've done little by way of scrapping, because I've had so little spare time and then when I have had chance I've lacked inspiration....however, help was at hand in the form of Create & Co with a great sketch to get me going again. Here's what I came up with... Thanks girls!

Tower of Terror

I'm so happy to be getting so many of our Florida holiday photo's scrapped.
This one is based on sketch 4.29 at Sketchy Thursday.   I seem to be turning to Kraft cardstock more and more at the moment, I really like the look it gives to my layouts. I'm also trying to use up some of my older stash since I just keep buying new stuff, the older stuff has been piling up! So apart from my monthly scrapagogo kit, I'm trying not to buy any more stash for a while....wonder how long that will last?!!!

Block party bash

I'm really enjoying scrapping the photo's from our Florida holiday, even though it was last November, it's great to 're-live' those days as I make the layouts. This one is based on the sketch #042 at twisted sketches, the twist is to include 'flight' in the page...mine is VERY tenuous...the link is a very small photo of Buzz Lightyear!

Quick post!

Time is just flying so fast at the moment! Just thought I'd pop in with a super quick post to share a layout I did from the Pencil lines 179 sketch....even though sketch 180 is up already!!!

I thought I'd just share this layout I did for the sketch at Sketchy Thursday this week. It's quite minimalist for me with far more 'white space' than I am comfortable with!!

Bliss

Hiya, after going for a swim this morning I've had a nice lazy day at home catching up with some scrappy challenges and having some time relaxing with the rest of the family...bliss!

I have thrown myself into scrapping lots of our last holiday photo's and must say I'm having a great time remembering some of the lovely times we had. Like this one here.......

It's loosely baesd on the sketch 178 at Pencil lines this week. I've had this leftover paper from cosmo cricket for a while and decided it was high time I used it up! Thanks for looking x

So glad it's the weekend!

I've had a busy and challenging working week and to top it off have got a cold, so I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself  right now! Anyway, this morning I took Dan to footy and stood in the rain watching the match (we lost 6-0  Ouch!), but it was nice to be out and even though we lost I enjoyed the game.

I'm really pleased with this month's scrapgogo kit, so much so that I've already done 2 layouts with it and it only arrived on Thursday!

Go go power rangers!

This is my take on this week sketch over at Creative Scrappers. Dan really didn't want to pose for a photo, but we managed to persuade him that his cousin Ethan would love to see him with the power rangers! I've only included a very small photo of Dan in the layout since he was so embarassed about it!! I've used some of this months fab scrapgogo kit.
