Two from One

I was inspires by Sue ( AKA Mid Western Girl- Scrapbookers Anonymous Design Team colleague of mine) to complete more than one version of a sketch. This sketch was from the Studio Calico( see the sketch below) The top version is a bit more like the sketch with lots of small photos.In the second one I swapped things round and used circles of paper instead of the photos.
On both i used some old Studio calico paper and mixed it with some bits from November's kit

My design team LO- December Challenge reveal

This is my Design Team LO for the latest challenge on Scrapbooker's Anonymous.

This is a great challenge- No patterned paper allowed- no none- and use at least three rub ons ( well I only used three but I don't buy them because they are always a disaster- just look at the trunks of my trees why don't you)

Anyway i have a misted background, and any patterned paper you might think there is is from a tourist map, a free catalogue and a magazine

The photo is of my husband and son on one of our 20km cycle rides (we had a few this autumn- hard to think of it now as we are ankle deep in snow)

Join the challenge now for a chance to win a great prize (go on you know you want to have a go!)

Naughty little me

Usually i don;t like using a LO for more than one challenge but sometimes I feel a little naughty and use things for more than one.

This LO uses the Sketchabilities sketch ( see below) and the elements challenge from Design Dollies ( If that upsets anyone I'm not worried about prizes just give me some love!)

The Design Dollies element was layers and there's quite a few on here with the card and the doilie and the labels and the letters and the embellies
here is the sketch

This LO is for category stories ( but I have used the criteria for HMITM- this is my second LO for HMITM so I don't feel to bad about using this for two challenges)

the Category Stories challenge was " merry" which i thought went so well with this picture of my Nan covers in silly string

The HMITM challenge was a Christmas LO with a heart, 12 buttons and four tags. But I've just noticed the heart fell of between craft table and photo op. There should be a cream heart in the bottom left corner of the photo! LOL

Day four- failed miserably

I'm still following the Let's cApture these Sketches mystery Sketch

but

I've failed a bit

1. the decoration was supposed to be on the other side but my title was too close

2. Someone suggested it should be posted on the LCTS forum but I can't manage to get the photo resized for it to upload

I think I'll just carry on as I am

Sassy and Kraft

Nancy is so cute- she is such a girl- she loves having her hair done and her nails painted. When she wants a plait in her hair she asks for "triangles" and last week she wanted to see the plait I had put in so she told me take a photo of it for her. I made this using the Sassy sketches sketch below

And this LO is for Kraft it up along with using Kraft you had to make a Christmas LO in non traditional colours ( I chose purple and blue) and include a knot ( well there's a chain of beads!)It's called "the tree shot" because you have to take a photo of the tree. Every year we would have photos of us taken with our favourite present by the tree (It may be the year Father Christmas brought us a real tree but I can't be sure- I'll share that story another time)

step 3

Here is step three of the mystery sketch at Let's Capture these Sketches

This time you had to add the title (I had a photo picked out from the start but you won't get to see it yet)

The one with all the music

Two music challenges this week

First from Scrap it with a Song

The song over there was Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillat ( not sure I've ever heard of them) but there was a line that said "I'll put flowers in your hair" which reminded me of a picture i took of Nacy on holiday. She gave me the flower then took it back when I had put it in my hair as she thought she would look prettier in it ( well of course she did)
Second from Scrapping the music

The song is called " Suds in the Bucket" never heard it before but the first photo that leapt to mind was the photos from our holiday last year- James switched on the Jacuzzi bath in our holiday home, added bubble bath and this was the result- absolute hysterics Nancy didn't even venture in we though we might lose her under all the bubbles.

To make the title I misted over some foam thickers so I had the negative space left. They were the right size but the wrong colour so this seemed to be the best way and it fitted with the watery theme.
