From the Heart Challenge ....

The next challenge I participated in is From the Heart Challenge . Here we had to create a layout with I Love.... or I heart in the title.. 

I used my Studio Calico kit Boardwalk here. 

Starting Point Challenge

This weekend Shimelle ran an Online Scrapbooking Weekend , the challenges are all open till next weekend so go an have a look.

This is my entry for the Starting Point Challenge. I used my Studio Calico Kit Mind the Gap for this one.
Here we had to create a layout starting from the design using a large box of paper in the background, a wide vertical strip, plus a narrow stripe and a horizontal block.

Latest ....

I have been starting to think that I will never scrapbook again, because I have done nothing for months now! Each month my Studio Calico Kit arrives, I get excited, open the box, and then pack it away. Sad I know , but what does a girl do when you working long days, leaving at 7 am in the morning and getting home at 8.30 pm in the evening. 

Crazy ideas have even crossed my mind, like selling my stuff, because its only just accumulating dust in my garage. But I know, this makes me happy! Paper, photo's inks make me happy, I do enjoy it so much, just wish I had more time, oh and of course I wish I had my own space so I don't have to pack up all the time. 

I have been on leave this week, its been WONDERFUL, just being able to breathe for a bit, not being rushed off my feet, not having to think about work, not having to commute into LONDON. Being able to lie on my bed and read a book, its been fabulous. 

I scrapped a  bit too.... 

I did this page for the Sunday Sketch over at Studio Calico

This page just depicts Aidan so well ! He is getting so big, but at 12, he is still my little boy that loves life, loves playing. 

I also did the sketch over at The Scrappiest, I do love this sketch site and really need to participate more ! 

Here is the sketch : 

This is my take on it :

Once again this is a page done of Aidan , he is so at that stage where I cannot get him to look at the lens of a camera. This one resulted in me having to bribe him, and still he did not SMILE :)
