Purple Rain

There is a colourful theme at scrap it with a song at the moment and this week the challenge is Purple Rain by Prince. It was a hard song to make a LO for, the lyrics didn't appeal so I just used a purple base for my LO. Purple is a hard colour to use for me, I love the colour but not on scrapbook pages (or clothes). The LO looks a bit odd in this photo as the Hambly overlay is reflecting the conservatory roof. I had to add the doily as I had already chopped bits out of the page to use elsewhere.

This LO is a straight scrap lift of an idea I saw somewhere. ( I'm not sure where but maybe someone can tell me)
I made squares from a two inch strip of paper  and cut them in half. It was then easy to place them edge to edge on the paper to make this cute quilted pattern

The LO is about a little moment before we went out to a family Christening ( hence the fancy outfits) when James and the kids were messing about with their ukuleles

Winner

Sometimes when I make a LO I make another in a different colour scheme. It make scrapping quick and easy but the two LOs don't really look alike. This LO uses the same Set of strips as the pink hearts LO I posted a few days ago.

The LO is about Arthur's football tournament. He would not let me take a picture of him in his school kit but I managed to sneak this one while he was waiting to play in the final. They won on penalties. He was so thrilled and proud but I love the shy/ nervous look on his face in this photo

Eye

This LO is for the sketch challenge at Dutch Dares. I used a couple of pictures of Arthur on the London Eye enjoying the view. The colour scheme goes with the subdued colours of  the hipstamaic prints.

woodland walk

This LO is inspired by the sketch at Stuck sketches
When we went on holiday last year it was very hot. Every evening we took a stroll down by the river though the wooded path in the shade to get to a nearby hotel where we had cool refreshing drinks before or after dinner

I made a second LO using Shimelle's starting point.  This one has a photo of my three during a walk in the woods at Coombe Abbey near Coventry.

toilet wall

This one was a quick LO for the challenge at StudioChallenges. They wanted a LO without patterned paper and with washi tape instead. I used washi tape to make a border for the LO which makes it look like its backed onto Patterned paper.

The photo is of me (just) reflected in the mirror on our toilet wall. You can see the wall is covered in postcards that we have received through Postcrossing
