Cybercropping

Well it was cybercrop weekend this weekend over at uks. I would have liked to have done more than I did but inbetween repacking the kitchen, playing with a baby, doing the shopping and going to a Christening I was limited!
I tended to prefer the challenges to the classes this time but i am pretty pleased with what i made.
This first lo is a challenge to "scrap a journey" I scrapped Emily in her pushchair - this is how she travels!
This second lo was about friendship and a sketch which i managed.

This third lo was a class i used the sketch and did the destressing but didn't get around to hand stitching.

This next one was to have a water theme so i used this piccie of when we were in vegas and the hotels were always very well decorated this one had an umberella display and fake water on them so great for this challenge.

The final lo was to use some stash that we didn't want to use - this is the mini gogokit from jan 09 i loved it and had to buy and have never used it (too lovely) so i made sure i used it for this and i was pleased with how it turned out.

Well thats not bad is it - afterall if there had been no cc then I wouldn't have scrapped anything at all

A catch up - April's LO's so far

I have been quite busy scrapping this month but it just takes so much time to get everything uploaded. Here's what i have been upto. I have done some CC ones which are not posted here but whilst the cc has come to a bit of a halt i thought I would catch up with my uploading!
This first lo is possibly one of my favourites. I love the photo and the FP little dancer paper is cute too.
This Lo's was made to celebrate Emily being 6 months old this week and what she can do now. I think it may need a little something else but i do like it.

This next LO i did at my crop. I used the October Gogo kit.

This lo has been made using the new crate. I love the photo of the babies floating and have wanted to scrap a photo like this for a while.

Another swimming lo (and a weekly challenge) but this one was us in Spain last summer.

This next lo was also a weekly challenge. I love the cosmo nutmeg paper and it was nice to use it again.

This lo has been made using the next MLS papers.

This lo is kraftycuts pp by Fancy pants.

This lo is fancy pants again. I like this photo would have been better if Emily was looking at the camera but she was too busy playing with the grass! It was the first time she had experienced grass - likely to be the theme of another lo!

Well thats all then. Thanks for reading and after the weekend I will post the lo's I have been doing for the cc

More march crafting...

Well I have managed a few more layouts this week so I thought I would share them with you - not such a long post this time!
This first lo is using the new MLS papers (MLS being my new love since having Emily) This photo was taken today and fits well with these papers. Its one of the first photos in the garden other than the snow so needed scrapping!
The second lo was a challenge by Mel - to scraplift this I have excelled myself here using pp's that only arrived yesterday! They are the new bo bunny.

This 3rd lo is the March week 3 challenge - there was a sketch, man in your life, green and bird or something like that. Again I have used bo bunny papers.

This final lo is using the new BG pp's (again I haven't had these that long) I love this photo of Emily she always manages to get herself from my lap to this position on the laptop which i think is quite funny esp as she was less than 4 months when this piccie was taken!

I hope you like my lo's and that you are impressed that I am using some of my new stash rather than just stroking it!

As always thanks for reading xx

My crafting so far in March...

Well a busy month so far here are the lo's I have completed, although I do have another 2 to photograph and upload when I get a minute!
This does have a title up the side which is pale and say so natural i didn't want anything too deep for the title.
This next lo is Emily when she was a few hours old.

This is the week 2 challenge for March - old stash, birds, fabic, handmade embellie. One of my fav photos of Emily at 5 days old.

This is the March Week 1 challenge, 2 photos, colours pink&blue and black i think thats right, bling and something else! I love these bo bunny pp's and i have finally put them to good use!

This next one was made using the new crate papers that i received last week - i am being good to use the stash straight away!

This next one is Emily & her friend - appropriately titled as we both call our girls beautiful. My friend took this photo and i think its fab.

This next lo is a page kit i put together before i had Emily and finally got around to doing it its just about my hobbies.

These photos were a pre-wedding photoshoot my sister hd and i loved them they fitted well with this pp so i had to scrap them.

Then here is Maddie and Emily - there is 5 months between them!

This next one was a challenge for the scrap weekly in 2010 but i cannot remember what the theme was i have used some old stash from fancy pants and i loved this paper forgot i had it so pleased i have used it for a lo again.

All the girls at the crop were scrapping with Metal so i did this lo with some metal bits!

Well thats all this time will upload the others soon

Thanks for reading all about it! x

Photoshoot and Feb scrapping

Well this will be the 2nd time I have done this I did a really long post and now I cannot be bothered to type it all out again - blogger lost my post!

We had some photos taken a couple of weeks ago a family photoshoot by my friend Sarah - www.itakeyourphoto.co.uk Here are a couple of my favs.
This one of all of us turned out well its quite natural looking - only ended up like this cos Emily was bored of being held!

This is possibly my favourite - and it was the first photo Sarah took!

Well Feb wasn't the busiest month for scrapbooking but managed 7 lo's. I was hoping to share the stories behind them with you but since blogger ate the stories I am not sure I have the energy to type them all out again!

These photos were taken when Emily was 3 days old - me very keen to go out with the pram and Iain pleased to finally be able to use the parent/child spaces at Tesco. It was a bit of a laugh!

This is when Emily met her great nan and second cousins.

The royal i-mac - my mums most prize possession that my brother conveniently named!

Cuddles with James & Becky on 1st Dec

This is when Emily and Katie met for the first time, Emily 6 weeks and Katie 5 - it was sweet watching them touch each other!

Finally a lo with a photo of me in May when I was around 20 weeks pregnant.

Again sorry that I have not typed more but if I loose it again I will cry!

Thanks for looking x

Eating the bunny!

Gorgeous smile

Using up old kits..

Well what a productive weekend - 10 layouts! Thats got to be a record even by my standards. To be honest this was quite easy. I was on a mission to use up old kits so everything was in one place for me although i added a few non kit bits here and there. Before the weekend, my wheeled tote was busting with kits and now they fit in there more than comfortably and about 4 kits are totally finished.
These first 4 lo's are a mix of kits. These are all recent photos. I think it helped having a new scrapbooking subject (Emily) when using these old papers.
This lo is for my mums album - them mucking around at the park xmas eve!

This next two lo's are my brother and his wife.

Both used the same kit but different pp's

Not so sure about this next lo - its more the alphas that bother me but its a lovely photo so i thought I would leaveit!

This lo uses a fancy pants overlay. I think it worked quite well.

This final lo is a photo shoot that my sister did it was quite good fun.

Thanks for reading. Thats it for this month! x
