This layout is for the October Monthly Comp over at Scrapbook Dreams, all you have to do is use pink,

This is for the monthly comp over at SBS, the theme was Electric Geometric, to be honest i was completely stumped for a few hours, maths was never my strong subject, and im still not quite happy with how this layout turned out either, anyways just cut circles out of the paper then layered it, added other bits and bobs and voila! sorry for the terrible photo too, was horrible weather yesterday and no sunshine for great photos

Big Catch Up, ATCs and a LO

My Layout is for the Scrapbook Studio September Comp.
The challenge was
1.Use images cut from transparencies on your LO
2. Old chipboard
3. strip journaling

I had a photo of my nana so i decided she would be my subject for this challenge :)

I used prima papers and flowers, old heidi swapp chipboard letters, hambly transparencys aswell as a few heidi grace ones.

Now to the Atcs, lol, ive been very busy this month with these little things aswell as the circle journal im taking part in at the moment, so i havent actually got any layouts done at all,

This one is for the clear swap for the ATC groupies, i stamped images aswell a embossed, apart from the middle image, it is completely seethrough,


This one is for the Christmas Atc swap at Scrapbook Studio, again a stamped image with embossing.
This one was for the garden friends swap at ATC Groupies, you can see the full set that all the girls came up with down below, I ran the card through the cuttlebug, then painted with metallic jade paint, then stamped with versamark and used pearl ex powders, i did this numerous times with different colours and stamps, i stamped the leaves and butterflies and cut them out aswell.

This one is for the metal swap at Scrapbook Studio, i had alot of fun making these :) and i didnt cut myself n any of the metal so i was quite chuffed with that :)

This one is for the Humour swap at Scrapbook Dreams, The girl and frog Stamps are Basic Grey and Background Stamp is Mickey Choo which i got from the lovely Debbie at Glamour Girls Stamps.
I used Alcohol Ink to make my background, and stamped the girl and frog, cut them out and then used felt tips and watercolour pencils to colour them in, i cut the grass out and spray some glimmer mist on it for shine,

As you can see i ended up colouring all my girls differently, ad those little legs became very tediuos to cut out, only one girl ended up losing a leg though, always good to make a few extra isnt it ;)


This is the numbers swap from ATC Groupies, thanks for an awesome set of cards girls !!!!

This swap is also from ATC groupies, i think we managed to do 3 swaps this month lol, yet again another gorgeous set, the theme was Garden Friends


This swap is the Humour one from Scrapbook Dreams, i couldnt help but chuckle when i saw these, some great ideas ladies, i love them


Well i think ive caught up with everything now :D
Hope you all have a wonderful weekend xx
