So have fun with my sketch, and see... scrapping doesn't have to cost the earth with products, just a few little bits and pieces.
Can't wait to see your pages.
Amanda's Challenge.
Banners. Yep those little triangular thingos that usually say 'go team' or strung above the fire place with letters to spell out CHRISTMAS written on each flag.
They are popping up on layouts all over the place. They are not overly big on my list of 'gorgeous embellishments' but i gave it a go and actually liked how it turned out on this layout! Push yourself, extend and try something new! (i didn't measure my triangles but did it all by roughly eyeballing and nipping with the scissors) You can fasten with string, staples, machine stitching.....the list of possibilities is endless!

Stay tuned.
Meredith's Challenge
Stay tuned.
Colour Challenge.
Using kraft to celebrate our new colour combo for the March retreat i have teamed that with baby pink, black and white for a shabby chic look. I can't wait to see your creations with this yummy combo.
Wow Sandra ... that is so funny!! Great layout - love your splash back tiles and what groovy patterned paper - perfect for the theme!! And a yummy looking meal!!
Thank you for sending it in - sorry about the delay in posting it - I had a party to get to yesterday!!
The one of me could fit the mobile phone challenge... I took the photo myself with the phone... and I felt like a real idiot doing it too... lucky no one was around!
The crossword layout could fit the twine challenge. I am nearly finished another layout which has a bit of twine on it... will send that in when I finally get it finished.
And the other one fits no challenge AT ALL unless the challenge was to produce a layout which hurts your eyes! lol.. So much Green!! and yes Teagan loved it!This layout was a challenge to create as I personally am not a green lover... unless it grows in the garden!
Thanks to the rest of the girls on my table (and the one behind me!) for the encouragement!! I would love to see some of the other creations produced on the weekend... I saw some fantastic things being made as I snuck around the room, too fantastic not to share with the rest of us!!!
Cheers for now Sandra
Sandra - the first one is a very Louise Nelson type of LO - this is interesting ;-) and fantastic! I am certain she will be stoked by this! Brilliant work and really inspiring, open journalling.
The crossword one again uses some heart string tugging journalling - i read it on the retreat and struggled to hold it together. What a beautiful memory. You have scrapped that fantastically.
The green layout is very GREEN, but wow= what an imact. I love the colour green and you have used it so well here. A great design and i am certain that Teagan loved the end result. How could she not love such a brilliant page on her and her fav. colour...??!!
Thanks for sharing Sandra. As you said it would be great to see a bit more work that was produced on the weekend! I know there was a fair bit done by all! What a relaxing and creative weekend we had!
If there are any other pages out there that fit our themes - please send them in. I know i spied some twine layouts being produced on my table at the scrapathon ;-)

see you there girls!
oh what a great photo Trish! And what a special 'message' to you! LOL life works in funny ways sometimes doesn't it?!!
also a massive congratulations on buying your own home - very exciting i imagine!
Eeewww is all I can say!!! I hate snakes - a good snake is a dead snake I say!
Maryanne I'll definitely accept that - sounds very impressive!!!
Plus I love your layout - great colours, clever photo and a funky layout!
Wow I love your layout!
The title looks great and quite fiddly so great job!
The colours are delish, especially that spotty background!
Thank you!
Amanda's Challenge - in a twist over twine.
Go nuts for this really funky embellishment. I have recently bought some of this stuff (bakers twine) from the US which is so lovely. In green, red, brown, black and blue colour ways. All twisted with white. CUTE!
You might have fancy twine like this, or it could be plain ol' string (which also can look pretty cool on a page) Ribbon, twill or trim NOT allowed. Rope would sneak past my radar too!
I really enjoyed seeing Jack create this!
I gave him a few photos to choose one from.
I asked him what colours he wanted to use and then gave him a box of patterned paper to choose from.
He chose all the bits for the layout. I let him stick it down! I did do the brads!
He decided on the title by himself and wrote the journaling.
I really restrained myself from changing anything or talking him into any colours or choices!!
Thanks Sue - such a great idea! Maybe we could make this an "every school holidays" idea!
