Have I got scrap for you Challenge

The Challenge set on the UKS forum by Niki was to use some very bold paper that you have been reluctant to use due to its large print.

 

I chose Crate Paper - Paper Heart Collection.

 

As well as using the paper as a background to the photo I also cut out some of the flowers to embellish the design as well as die cutting the Title out of the bold paper.

 

I was very surprised when such a bold design lent itself to a New Baby Layout.

It's not quite Disney but I like it!

Well after thinking I would use my Counterfeit kit for Disney photos

I haven't used any so far.

 I am however very happy with the two pages I have completed.

 

 

The first one is my 2 beautiful girls the photo was a quick snap on my mobile phone

which  I adjusted with Instagram. 

 

 

The second page uses Papermania All Aboard paper and some East of India stickers.

The photo was taken during a family day trip to London we are standing on the Millennium Bridge.

 

July Counterfeit Challenge

It's the first of the month so another Counterfeit Challenge Kit

this time using a Scrapbook and Crafts summer kit here.

 

I didn't realise how much red paper I owned!

Lovely combination of colours think I may be scrapping some

Disney photos as they will match perfectly!

 

 

Simple Recipes Challenge

 

Another UKS challenge from the Simple Recipes collection.

The June 2013 challenge was to 

1. Use the colours Ice Blue, Turquoise and Green Gold.

2.Scrap an old photo possibly a Christmas one.

3. Use patterned Alphas.

4. Use Washi Tape

5. Use old stash with a sprinkling of new.

 

So here's my offering the papers were old ones that I have had for several years,

Washi Tape stripes,

The Alphas have a woodgrain pattern on them,

Photos from Christmas 2008.

 

Really like the colours together the only downside is while looking for the date of the photos found another batch for the same day, so it looks like this will turn into a double page spread.

Good Morning To You!

A page using the June Counterfeit Challenge kit and the challenge given by Sian for the UKS house challenge for week 3 of June.

 

The Challenge was to incorporate song lyrics and musical notes, as well as some metal and some hidden journaling.

 

The photo is of my daughter one morning after she had spent the night in my bed.

June Counterfeit Kit Challenge

I have really been looking foward to the new Counterfeit kit Challenge coming out and haven't been disappointed.

This months choices are both from Scraptastic and the kits are called after the storm and destination unknown. I chose destination unknown as I loved the bright pinks and yellows, and it seemed a nice change from the darker colours last month.

I loved the original kit so much I decided to make the add on to.
