Sunday/ Monday Scrapping :)

So with the whole weekend pretty much wiped out with me having tonsilitis, Sunday Scrapping kinda didn't really happen. I was too sick to even want to scrap! I know...



I did get this one done, the challenge was to use yellow, orange and white (the colour of chyrsanthemums) on a LO about a mum. And this one was done yesterday as a challenge to scrap inspired by the saying 'The best things in life are free'. You also had to use something starting with each of the letters in the word 'LIFE'
L- lace, lines, leaves
I - ink
F- flowers, flocked paper, fabric
E - eyelets


And this is one I have been slowly adding to each day. I saw a LO over at Christine Middlecamp's blog. And fell in love with it. I decided to scraplift copy it. I just thought it looked gorgeous and didn't want to change much. She is truly amazing. Her pages have SO much detail and must take her AGES!




She just layers and layers and layers some more. And has an amazing eye for colour and knowing what looks good.



So here 'tis. I have made my Lo about Natalie and what she is like at 8. Cause I think she is pretty incredible and needs to be remembered :)
(I swear that the actual LO is NOT crooked. Its just my slanty leany photography)


Thank you SO much also for the amazing congrats about my Sketchbook win! I am so touched to have all you lovely friends drop by and celebrate with me! Makes me want to pour you all a glass of champers;)
