lots of layouts
I have been a bit slack in posting some pretty pictures. I have been doing a wee bit of scrapbooking lately… It’s so hard when you have such beautiful children… 
I have been taking part in the Elsie Flannigan 52 Challenges competition over at SAM (Scrapbooks and More) which has been a great motivator. Elsie is a bit of a scrapbooking superstar and she has a book out called 52 Scrapbooking Challenges.
This one is Challenge #18 (negative space):
Challenge #4 - make your own chipboard accents. I made the blue frames and then went a little doodling crazy:
Challenge #23 - Make your own buttons. I made the pink and green buttons from Fimo. I also made the background paper with Hero Arts stamps and pink and green ink:
This one I did for the For Keeps magazine Elite Team competition but I was unsuccessful. Oh well. How cute is this little fairy girl:
Challenge #17 - Alphabetical Approach. The A-Z on the left side is actually from index tabs and this is Jack on his first day of Kindy earlier this year:
Challenge #7 - Artistic Photo. You might have seen the Freya doll on this blog when I first made her:
Challenge #11 - Colour combination of Blue, Orange and Brown. Love these photos:
Challenge #1 - Work those words. The second pink down on the paint chip is the colour of the walls in Emma’s room:
I did this for one of the challenges (#5 Ribbon Cluster) and then wasn’t sure about it so entered another one instead but I do like this one a lot now:
Another one that I entered in the For Keeps comp - how could they miss my brilliance? Jack and a Lego likeness of him made by his older brother Sam:
Again, For Keeps magazine has missed out on my obvious talent! I love this layout and the photos are great:
Ah…. mum and Emma. Jack took this photo and I was so proud of him. Challenge #14 - Try a new technique. I hadn’t cut out a motif like the one on the right before:
Challenge #39 - Go Mega. I used a mega flower and large title:
I love this layout. Challenge #45 - Add an arrow. Great photos:
Challenge #24 - White Cardstock. Cutie pie:
My broken arm! Oh, what memories. Thank god that is over with. I entered this in the For Keeps competition as well. hrmph:
Challenge #37 - Decorative Edge Scissors. Love the red and green. Super Jack:
Challenge #42 - Stylish Photo Frame. My favourite three kids:
Challenge #12 - Scraplift a Layout Shape. I scraplifted a great layout from Kelli Crowe. A great way to use up paper scraps:
A layout of our wedding day which I submitted to For Keeps:
Challenge #6 - Ribbon Cluster:
Phew! I hope you are still with me - that was a lot of photos. I will upload them as I go from now on I promise.Â
