AppScrappers

I completed the AppScrappers Jan/Feb23 bingo this month too... by using  challenge and/or ct layouts I managed to get them all done.

The Lilypad - MOC11 - Week 5

How can it be the end of MOC already?? I've had great fun this month completing all these layouts, though a few in the middle took me a lot longer than anticipated and the last few were done in two days!

Here's my final few layouts:

28 Jan - There's No Place Like Home

29 Jan - Where I Stand

30 Jan - Clean & Simple

31 Jan - Coming Home to Yourself

The Lilypad - MOC11 - Week 4

This week for MOC was again not so much challenging, just different and I didn't have the oomph to keep up. So it's been a mad scramble to get these ones done before the week runs out on me.

Here's my week 4:

23 Jan - Filled Template

24 Jan - All Tucked In

25 Jan - Love Letter

26 Jan - Tickets Please

27 Jan - Still Life - using ninigoesdigi Ajisai {hydrangeas} 

Slow but sure I am catching up... just the last few days to do.

The Studio - January LAD

I took the plunge... why? who knows... and took part in the Layout-a-day (LAD) challenge at The Studio. The aim is to create a layout each day with the prompt provided to earn a piece of a kit which results in a huge big kit for free by month end. The nice thing is that any layout goes so I can use any layout I make so long as it meets the criteria for the day... so I have used some of my January layouts for some of the challenges, and a few new ones. Here is the summery of what I managed to complete:

Day 1 - use 3 snowflakes

Day 2 - one line of journaling - used MissFish Blended Clusters 10 layout

Day 3 - personalise Wordart - used Gina Miller Lazy Days layout

Day 4 - Today - used Gina Miller Sweet Friends layout

Day 5 - Adventure - used MissFish Storyline 1 layout

Day 6 - List - used Micheline Lincoln Page Turner layout

Day 7 - No Words

Day 8 - Journal on a tag - used Gina Miller's Frost Bite layout

Day 9 - Nature walk - used MissFish Artsy Blocks 24 layout

Day 10 - Someone You Love - used MissFish Dreamy Blends 3 layout

Day 11 - Favourite weekend activity - used MissFish Photo Clusters 1 layout

Day 12 - Thankful - used my MOC11-14 layout

Day 13 - My style of journaling - used Gina Miller's Olive & Beau layout

Day 14 - Series of photos - used MissFish Artsy Blocks 23 layout

Day 15 - used my MOC11-07 layout

These LAD events will be happening every few months at The Studio... so I might just do another later this year.

The Lilypad - MOC11 - Week 3

Another week of MOC and I am barely managing to keep up.... it's a case of get the challenge, stew over them and then at some point sit down and scrap. Some come together quickly and others take a while, but I have finally gotten these done.

Here's what I did for Week 3:

16 Jan - Template Mashup - used Micheline Lincoln's Page Turner layout

17 Jan - Document your day

18 Jan - Wordart - used Gina Miller Olive & Beau layout

19 Jan - Colour Pop - used Micheline Lincoln's Be layout

20 Jan - Birthday - used ninigoesdigi & Soco's Birthday Bash collab
