February scrapping

I've just gone through my blog and noticed that I haven't shared with you all the layouts I've scrapped over the last two months.... so thought I'd do a sort of catch up post quickly.


These first few layouts are from Scrapkits:

This one is the last of my layouts from the Mega Crop last year:

This is a layout from the Scrapbook Convention in 2009... designed by Jowilna Nolte

And the rest of these are what I've scrapped over the last two weekends:

 

Phew... quite a few hey?  So as of the end of February I have done 49 layouts out of my 365 page a day goal.

These photos were taken while on holiday in December of a Bateleur eagle.... absolutely wonderful sight to behold.

Shawn will be announcing the new design team within this week, so here's holding thumbs if you applied.

RESOLUTION #3 - use three patterned papers and some stitching

RESOLUTION #4 - create a layout that contains a list

RESOLUTION #5 - don't open anything new

RESOLUTION #6 - make a valentines card

RESOLUTION #14 - Use 1x lace/ribbon, 2x patterned paper, 3x flowers, 4x bling/gems

RESOLUTION #15 - Use colours teal, yellow and grey/silver and the word HAPPY

Phew now I'm all done... think I will relax a bit in the week ahead.

ps - I photographed all these pages so they are not quite as clear as normal... will only be scanning them tomorrow and might reupload them then.

Scrapping some resolutions

The Let's Scrap blog hop is on and I decided to try my hand at completing some of the resolutions (what they are calling challenges for this blog hop)... For each resolution we had to use a Let's Scrap sketch and then some form of challenge.... these are what I've managed to do so far...

RESOLUTION #1: Pick a favourite layout in the Let’s Scrap Photo Gallery and scraplift it
I picked a layout by Michelle van Wyk

Here is my scraplift

RESOLUTION #2 - colour challenge

RESOLUTION #7 - Banner Challenge

RESOLUTION #8 - Using black and white photos, blue and yellow embellishments

RESOLUTION #9 - Laughter is the Best Medicine

RESOLUTION #10 - Trash to treasure Challenge

RESOLUTION #11 - Use the colors Blue, White and Silver

RESOLUTION #12 - Use eyelets

RESOLUTION #13 - Cardstock only challenge

So that's nine done... only a few more to do.... and they must all be completed by midnight on Monday... best I get scrapping this weekend!
