wicked princesses at home retreat

some of the wicked princesses went on a retreat and those that stayed at home got to do some  at home challanges.this is what i completed.....
challenge #1 was to base a layout on this sketch so this is my take on it.

and i have no idea why it has come up sideward but there you go!!
i love this sketch so i didnt change it much. its bo bunny paper-abbey rd. leftovers from a kit i got from wicked princesses.
challenge #2    Create a layout theat is
~ in neutral toned combo ...eg. browns and cream, black and white........ and add one colour.
~ Use a single photo of a friend (could be partner, mum etc someone you are close to)
~ you must include at least 3 different patterned papers
~ flowers
~ bling
~ your title should include one of these words....friend, love or happy
so this is my example
and again its come up sidewards...if you can tell me why i can change it!!!
i love this photo of hubby and i taken at my sisters wedding in dec 2010. we dont get dressed up and go out much so i really love this photo.

and challenge #3

Create a layout using the following items....

~ 1 circle (I used and extra PP for this)
~ 2 different coloured cardstocks
~ 3 different patterned papers
~ 4 photos

You may add as many extras on top of this...... but you must contain the above items
this is my example
MME-abbey rd paper. oh that cluster i love and it took me over an hour....haha
clustering is something im yet to perfect but i feel very happy with what i have achieved in this page.
i really wanted a coffee stained doilie but was too scared to do one myself but im going to give it a go tonight.
might try some other colours too IF it works out and of course i will show you my results.

being the first of june today all my favourite scrap sites ahve bought out new challenges so as i do them i will upload them to show you all. thanks for reading my long post!!

i loved these photos of my son and i and i really love the simplicity of the layout too.
i inked everything in green as we were rolling in the grass. these papers are older but i still love them.
they are fancy pants -like father like son.
hoping to get alot of scrapping done on the weekend with the retreat at home WICKED PIRNCESS is having. unfortunaltey i didnt get their kit like the people on the retreat will get as i didnt read that post :( but will play along with my own papers. will upload any pages i do on sunday night.
hope you like my page.

busy fortnight

hello and sorry i havent posted on here...
i have had a busy fortnight of scrapping with me getting sick and my little baby boy cutting 4 molars all at once :(   but here is what i have managed to achieve. i recieved my gorgeous two kits from WICKED PRINCESSES and loved working with them. it was paper i hadnt seen before although it was old stock but i guess that is what you get for not having a scrapbooking shop around. i have also used TCR sketch for a few of them and CREATIVE SCRAPPERS sketches.

new website

i have just put an order in for a new website (wicked princesses) i have found which do kits. and for me the idea of a kit is fantastic...paper and embellishments that match as over the internet colour look like they go together but when you recieve them they don't which is so frustrating. i cant wait to receive them and have a play.

sisters

i was so happy with this page i completed today. Its a challenge for Tthe color room
sisters
trying new techniques all the time that i find on great websites like this is great for me as i dont have a scrapbooking shop where i am. i hope my two sisters dont mind this cheeky photo as there were so many other stunning photos from the photographer that night.

thought i would start my new blog with one of my favourite pages...probably cos its such a gorgeous photo
