Another Layout

I went to a crop yesterday & managed to get a lot of layouts to the partially finished stage. This is not actaully a layout I worked on at the crop yesterday but I did manage to get it finished & posted in time to enter the weeks PSL 2 point challenge.

The journalling in the small square on the right hand page reads:

One of the fun things to do every autumn is to go to the Botannic Gardens and play in the leaves.

More Layouts

I've been creating more layouts over the last few weeks, it really helps to keep my mind of other matters, of which I have a few.

Last week's challenge for the PSL was to use the study in red kit from Club Scrap to create layouts.

This weeks challenge is to create layouts about your home city or country.

I have a crop this weekend so hopefully I'll have some more layouts to show you next week.

Pro Scrapbooking League

I have been doing a bit of scrapbooking lately. I am now in the PINK team for the Club Scrap Pro Scrapbooking League. It is just a fun competition to do as many layouts using Club Scrap paper as you can until May. Each week challenges are made & if you do a layout completing the challenge you get double the points of just a normal layout that doesn't fall under the challenge requirements.


Last week the challenge was to use 75% of my team's colour on the layouts. Well I can't say that it is easy to use pink on my layouts but I did manage to get 2 pink layouts done.

This one is christmas 2002.

Christmas 2002
We had Christmas day in Invercargill. James was young enough to sit in the old high chair that was used by Scott when he was little. Christmas dinner was at midday & included cauliflower cheese, roast lamb, potatoes, kumara, pumpkin, peas & tomato courgette bake. Dessert was pavlova. After dinner it was time to sit back with full tummies with Robin.
We did put up a Christmas tree at home just to keep a Christmassy feeling in the house.

This layout is about are daytrip to Springfield.

On 15 July 2007 we drove over to Springfield for the promotion of the new Simpsons movie. It had a giant pink donut set up so we could have photos taken by it as well as the recreation of the living room in the Simpsons House.

This week's challenge is to use the January Study in Red kit.

LOAD 31

Here it is, my last layout! I'm off to Invercargill for the weekend. Have a wonderful weekend everyone!

LOAD 30 - Pruning

Here is my second last layout for the month. I can't believe I have actaully done 31 layouts this month. I have a backup one just in case I can't complete a layout before heading off to Invercargill.

This layout is a digi layout created for Jessica Sprague's Now We Are Rockin' class. This is the fastest I have ever scrapped photos because all these photos were taken this morning. The cute thing that James said this morning just tickled my fancy.

The journalling reads:

January 30th 2008

James was in the bath for a hairwash.

He asked if he could stay in until lunchtime.

Of course you can James.

It didn't take long until a little voice called out

"My foot's pruning, can I get out now?"

LOAD 29

Here's my layout for today. I liked the idea in Simple Scrapbooks magazine of choosing a day & taking photos for the day. I have chosen the 8th day of the month. The journalling tag really inspired this layout though, because how easy is it just to fill in the times with what you did. So this was our day on Jan 08 2008.

LOAD 28

Here is yesterday's layout. The digital kit was created by Linda Rechtin of digitalscrapbookplace.

The journalling is inside the vellum pocket & can be read at full size.

28 July 2007.
The Christchurch Arts Festival is underway. Part of it is a display in Cathedral Square. The big poppy like flower is actually an inflatable peice of art.
