March Hybrids

Over the last week I have been playing

with ScrapaGoGo's March Kit

What a Picture !

I've been using these fabulous free hybrids too

which are designed especially for the kit by Kirsty Wiseman,

and available on the Club House

free to all members.

Just Stop

This is a photo taken of my teenage Son

in the summer.

Usually he is very tolerant of his scrapbooker Mum

but on this day he had just had enough !

The papers are Jillybean Soup Pasta Fagioli,

plus loads of the hybrids.

I tucked a hybrid behind the photo for my journalling

of how the photo came about.

Sketch 89

Over at Twisted Sketches

it is my teams week

to produce a layout with a twist.

This weeks twist is PINS.

I've used photos from my

daughters 10th birthday party,

when she went Ten Pin Bowling

with her school friends.

This Lo was created using the remains of my

ScrapaGoGo June 2010 kit

plus some Basic Grey Max & Whiskers embellishments

and alphas from Pink Paislee & American Crafts.

DT weekend

What a fabulous weekend was had in the rural countryside of Suffolk

in a Huge Chalet, big enough for us all to sleep & scrap in :)

It was great to get to know new team members better

and Vicki joined us as an honourary member too.

Will all got stuck in to the Lush march Kit,

did a Show & Tell with our Lo's for the March Getaway

and watched Take Me Out with a glass of wine.

Janice ensured that there was loads of lovely food

for all & we just couldn't resist the heated indoor pool.

Unfortunately Sarah & Kirsty weren't able to join us

this time, so what better excuse to start planning another !

GoGoing Away :)

This weekend all the GoGO Girls

will be rendezvousing here

for a fabulous weekend together.

It will be a great way for us all

to get to know each other better,

laugh, eat, scrap & swim !

It has a heated indoor pool :D

hopefully will blog some pics of it next week.

This is ScrapaGoGo's March kit

What a Picture !

and I can't wait to get started with it.

Have you seen how cute this row of Polaroid's are as a stamp ?

Great Weekend...

For Christmas I gave Paul tickets to see

Chess- the musical,

he saw the original production many moons ago

but this was my first time.

Finally on saturday night

we got to see it and

WOW !

I was totally blown away by the superb

performances and love triangle story line.

After the performance we attended the

50th birthday of a local friend,

so treated ourselves to a night of luxury

at a near by hotel.

So a fabulous weekend all round.

Sketch 87

Yesterday sketch 87 went live

on the Twisted Sketches Challenge blog.

This is my first as part of the team

& the TWIST was comfort.

All the supplies I've used are from ScrapaGoGo's Lush February kit,

their Hybrids plus their Loyalty stamps.

Recently I've started to scrap some of our old photos

& this is a particular favourite from 2004 !!

of Harriet & I have a cuddle whilst away in Tenerife.

Sx

It all started with a chance remark ...

from the lovely Mandi over on ScrapaGoGo's forum.

Why not bury a time capsule

whilst the foundations were being laid at the house ?

Well, this idea was embraced by the whole family

& a biscuit tin duly found for the purpose.

We each added a couple of small things

which summed you up as a person.

( mine are a woggle- scouting, a handmade card - crafting

& a plastic chicken - for the Girls !)

It also holds a special bear, golf ball, smurf,

Disney badge, semi precious stone, 2011 Olympic 50p...

A number of family & house photos

and a covering letter

just to explain this odd assortment of bits to a stranger !!

Harriet also wrote a beautiful letter

explaining who we all are & why we were building our house,

it brought a tear to my eye TBH

so I printed off another copy to show her when she's older.

Then at the weekend we all went up

& buried it under what will be the family room floor.

I wonder who will find it ?

and what condition it will be in ?

Blueprint To Go...

This is ScrapaGoGo's February

Blueprint To Go.

It was exactly the inspiration I

needed to scrap this photo of my son

with my February kit.

Happiness is ... Gaming Online.

I cut the chipboard banner into "pacman" shapes

& gave them a lick of yellow paint.

I also used loads of the free hybrids

which are available monthly

to co ordinate with the kits.

Month in Review

This is a new monthly challenge

over on ScrapaGoGo's forum

to review each month using a 6x6 format.

This size is so quick & easy to complete

which makes this mini book really doable for most scrappers.

Here are my January pages

using my January kit.

The left page concentrates on our house demolition

whilst the right is an eclectic mix

of our normal family life !

I added a journalling tag behind one page

so I could document all the little things

that will make 2011 memorable.

Pleased to share...

that I am now a Twisted Sister x

I've joined the DT of this amazing Sketch Challenge blog

& I'm really looking forward to creating with their sketches

along side their fabulous team.

Here is my take on this weeks sketch

with the TWIST - MAP.

These photos are from a family trip to Paris in May 08,

we spent loads of time on the metro as it rained so much !

PP - Basic Grey Wander

Tickets - Tim Holtz Die & Stamp.

Pay it forward...

A little while back,

I joined in with a scheme on FB

called Pay it Forward

where you promise to send something handmade

to the first 5 people that comment on your post.

Well these little beauties were duly dispatched

to their new owner this week

& I know she's really pleased :)

Sock Bunnies x

Now what shall I make next ?

Chinese Whispers Circle Journal has started ...

Over on ScrapaGoGo's forum

a circle journal has started with a difference.

Organised by Rebekah Montague.

For a Chinese Whispers CJ

the rules are:

pick a Lo to lift ( get permission ) lift the Lo,

E mail your lift to the next person,

who in turn lifts it & passes it on...

Using this system means no postage costs

or lost/ damaged work plus

10 completed Lo's for your album.

A win / win situation x

Here is my first lift

using ScrapaGoGo's January Kit

using photos taken last summer in Corfu.

Here's the fabulous Lo I lifted

by the exceptionally talented Frances Sylvia x

many thanks for allowing me to lift your work.

Next reveal is one month from now.
