Another lo

I was challenged to make a pink and girlie lo and use ribbon so this is what I came up with. Its a photo taken on our recent holiday to malta we were relaxing in the evening with cocktails listening to live music. Very nice!

There are 2 sheets of 12x12 used they are both sandy lion and they are the same papers but in negative of each other. The blossoms have worked well and the page does look girlie.

A-Z scrapbook

I have decided to do an A-Z scrapbook.

The idea will be that this is a 27 page scrapbook the first page is the title and thereafter i do a page from my life for every letter of the alphabet so as an example:
A - anniversary
B - Brother and so on

Not sure if anyone is already doing something like this but I was struggling for something to do and needed to use some stash up! So i thought it would help.

Also gives me an excuse to buy a new album!I have just done my title page which is here

ANOTHER DIGI LO

This is my second digi effort which is made of the july freebie from shabby princess. The title went quite well with the picture really. I need to try another now and see what i can come up with

DIGI

Well today I finally decided to give digi a go. this is my simple effort but I didnt think it was too bad for a first attempt. I have printed it too but I am not sure I like digi as much as normal scrapbooking. I am pleased I gave it a go though and I will probably do some more too.

I have been looking at the pencillines sketch challenges....www.pencillines.com They have some lovely stuff on there so I thought that I would have a go and see what I could come up with.

This is the first LO i did from the sketches. It is number 37. I had seen another couple of people have a go at this sketch and I really liked it. I have done an inversion of the sketch they put up lo wise. The photo was taken recently in Malta and the background paper is the BG pheobe range which I really like. The little words were a free gift form a magazine that I had not got round to using.
This is an attempt at the sketch 38. This photo was taken around Feb/Mar 07 at our friends house. I thought it would be nice to scrap it but had not decided on the perfect lo then I see this sketch and thought I would have a go.

I did these last night. I was hoping to do some more scrapbooking today but I am not sure if I am feeling inspired enough to do it....perhaps I need to go scrapbooking shopping instead!lol

I have been busy scrapbooking this afternoon. How I got anything done is beyond me as firstly the printer was playing up and then the robo but I did manage to produce these.



This is a challenge for UK - the house challenge and it had to be about home and mono. So this is what i came up with. Have always wanted to scrapbook home before so this was a good excuse. There is a summery piccie of the house and the other one was taken in the snow. The papers are doodlebug.



This is the weekly challenge. I thought I would use some holiday photos for this one and I think I have been very brave to include a photo of my in my bikini! The paper is from the remenise range but I have cut it about a bit to make it more interesting!

Home now...

Just thought I would upload some holidya piccies. I have just downloaded them to the pc (that was a job in itself as the camera battery had gone flat) I have not had chance to scrapbook these yet but thought I had better share some!
This first picture was taken on Comino - its a small island off Malta and we had lots of fun getting a speed boat over to the Island. We then had to climb what was like a mountain but it was worth is as this was the kind of view you got as seen in this photo - the island behind me across the water is Gozo. It was on the top of Comino that I got sunburnt!
This second photo was taken on Monday. We are at the aviation museum. It was a really interesting place and I learnt a lot about WW2 and the importance of Malta. I did not realise this before. My great uncle was based in Malta and my Grandad North Africa although I believe he was in Malta briefly too. I had no idea of the history there and I think I need to do a little more reading on the subject. It was a really interesting place to go. The photo is me with a map of malta behind this is a photo I would really like to scrapbook so just need to think of a theme for the page now.

The holiday was great we did a lot and relaxed a lot. It is also as nice to be home and in my own bed though! Just catching up on the washing mountains now!
