Let's Scrap challenge #5

I've decided that for the month of May I will do as many of the challenges at Let's Scrap.  Well this weekend I managed to tackle my first one.... make a card from the sketch provided, include a handmade basket and decorate the inside..... This is what I came up with

I did a bit of iris folding and then cut out butterflies and doodled.... had lots of fun making this one.

Seeing as it was Mother's Day yesterday I decided to give the card to my Mom for Mother's Day... she phoned this morning to say Thank You again as she loved it sooooooooooo much.

Sketches: Creatively Yours... layout 3

The new sketch and layouts are up at Sketches: Creatively Yours.

Here's mine

This was a great layout... and a wonderful way to incorporate little pics.

Let's Scrap challenges & blog hop

There is another blog hop and month long challenges going on at Let's Scrap.  I'm going to attempt to do most of the challenges this month... wish me luck.

Each of the design team blogs have a challenge and a prize... plus there is an overall prize... really sounds like lots of fun.

Scrapook Challenges & Blog Hop

Last weekend I took part in the blog hop over at Scrapbook Challenges.... I managed to create three layouts.

This was a lot of fun.  I didn't win any of the prizes but it was a great way to pass the time.

Dancing around Google

I love ballet and so this banner is really inspiring... think I best go find a show to go watch soon...

Hop hop hop....

around Blog world with me and Scrapbook Challenges

I joined this website in the last week or so and discovered a whole new world of sketches (yippee!) and challenges.  This weekend of course is "National Scrapbook Day" in USA but it's celebrated worldwide too... and I'll be at the Mega Scrap Day tomorrow with Scrapping Studio.... can't wait.  But for the rest of the weekend I will be hopping around on this blog hop.... so come join in the fun.


The blog hop starts on Pamela's blog where you can also win a giveaway.
Then if you go to the Hop On board you can find members blogs to hop too too (I will be there!)

And lastly I will be scrapping this sketch this weekend for this hop

Sketches: Creatively Yours...

The next sketch and layouts are up ... go check them out here and see what the other design team members did.... plus there is an extra special assignment.

long weekend

The weekend is now a  memory of the past.  I wanted to do L-O-T-S of scrapping but ended up having to be IT specialist for two days for my Dad.... trying very hard to get his PC up and running again (unfortunately the modem is giving us hassles!). What with doing washing and ironing too and also a bit of reading and church on Sunday morning, I didn't scrap nearly as much as I had hoped to.... but here are the ones that I did do...

A pre-made layout from last year's Scrapping Studio's Mega Scrap Day

Two kits from Scrapping Studio

And then there was the layout in the previous post for Scrap-A-Tale's challenge, on for my sketch design team submission for May (coming soon) and finally this one.....

A Candice Greenway inspired layout....

I've ALWAYS said that one day I want to scraplift a "Candice" layout.... and now I have ... with a few twists.  I'm sooooooooo chuffed with how it turned out.  This was done for my final challenge over at Scraptivity.

And so that was all the layouts I made this long weekend... busy me!

Scrap-a-tale Challenge 2
