Busy Saturday

I was out last night so it was a late night and as such I am tired today...I think thats why i am not feeling very creative! I went out this morning and got a new 12x12 tote for my scrapbook paper and I have re-organised all that I am sure it will be easier now I may actually be able to find what I am looking for! Since then I have worked on two challenge that were set for me:
This first picture was a challenge and I was asked to use something red, black and metal. I immediately wanted to do the U is for University page but the border above was on a white background which did not go with the pictures so I cut around it (took ages) and re-mounted it on the black it looks better I think. The photo at the bottom of the page are my 2 best friends form my first year at uni. Sadly we havent kept in contact.
This second page was a challenge to use something pink, lilac flowers and buttons. Its not very clear but the paper is pink with liac doodle flowers so that worked well. I am not sure about the "school days" sticker as its not in with the colour scheme but it was the best I could think of.

I am not sure if I am running out of ideas & or photos but scrapbooking seems very hard this weekend. Lets hope I can produce some more exciting lo's tomo.....

scraplift

This is a scraplift challenge from uks. It is also my first attempt at doodling...or should I say stencilling as I am too useless to doodle. I thought it turned out ok but I may look into getting a nicer stencil this one was a freebie from the scrapbooking inspriations mag a few issues ago

F is for Friends

Well my page is finally here. I had printed some photos to do my F is for friends page last night but the print head failed so I gave up. I then found a sketch on the pencil lines website that I really liked - no 41 and I thought that i would make that into my F is for friends page....So I managed to get the printer going tonight re-sized my pictures to fit and here is my effort! I used the K&Co papers I think they are the hopscotch range and the stickers too. I am quite pleased with this lo

V is for....

V is for VW! This was my first car! A VW Jeta. I passed my driving test on 11th Nov 1994 and this was the car that was waiting for me. Back then this was an "A" reg vehicle and it was 1300 engine. It had an awful interior (beige brown checked colour) and one of those automatic chokes it was also heavy on petrol...but it got me from a-b and as I was at college and had a bus pass i didnt need to use it much. I had the car a year before I got a "C" reg Jeta.

D for Dad

Today I have had the day off work and helped my friends move. That kept me busy and as a result I am quite shattered tonight! Needless to say i didnt cook dinner and the diet is out the window till tomorrow as we went to pizza hut!

I have managed to do a scrapbook page tonight this is the weekly challenge theme on uks but also fits in nicely for my D is for Dad on the a-z album of me.

Alpha scrappbook page G

Well no I am not all the way to page G of my alphabet scrapbook yet but there was no rule to say I must work in order was there?!

This is the first page I had the inspiration for so I thought i would do it straight away. There will be some hidden journalling behind the photos once I have all the DOB's etc. ...as sadly most of my grandparents have passed away.

Sunday

Well its been a busy day today. This is not the only scrapbook page i have created but the only one I am putting on at the moment! I was going to do some more scrapbooking today but after i got back from Asda and the Range I was invited out to Castle Park in Colchester with a friend and children so I went over there we had a picnic...weather stayed quite reasonably and it was an nice afternoon.

When I got home, someone had challenged me to scrapbook my sunday so the page above is my effort, luckily I had taken the camera out with me earlier so I got a few pcitures. The background page is from the once upon a time dcwv stack which I bought today so it made sense to use some paper that I had bought today too. This is not my usual style so I think it turned out ok.
