A couple more shares

Well, i actually managed to get 2 more LO's done before my trip tomorrow! The 3rd and 4th scrap class for the Wicked Princesses Scrap School comp are due on Monday and Wednesday, so i thought i'd better get them done before i head off!!

The 3rd challenge was to scrap in 'shabby chic' - something i've never done before, and i am so glad i had the chance!! I also drew on inspiration from the once upon a sketch blog - challenge was to journal about what it means to be a woman and i chose to focus on being a mum:

I just love this LO - it's so different to anything i've ever done before and i think i might just have to give this style another go!!!

The 4th challenge was to use acetate. I found a fabulous 12x12 sheet of acetate with gorgeous prints on it - from Fancy Pants, and this is what i came up with:

I've put it on a white background to photograph it, but i plan to punch holes in it with my crop-a-dile and put it straight in my album (not in a sleeve), scrapping directly onto the back another page :D Hopefully it will look really great!! I'll let you know when i've done this page so you can see how it turns out!

Too long between scraps!

It's been too long between scraps lately! Life has just been too busy to allow it - plus, i've been a bit sick with terrible sinus issues - especially bad headaches! I had one night where it was so bad that every time i moved my head i had shooting pain through my head, neck and back - excruciating!!!

Anyway, i've managed 2 LO's in the last week. The first is for the Scrap The Girls November challenge which was to use primarily pink, polkadots and multiple photos. I mixed it up a bit with an old Heidi Swapp invisibles sheet and some Tim Holtz distress ink "Lipstick" - what a great colour!!!

 

The PP i've used is a Pink Paisley paper, and i've used some of my Olive Roses embellies too!

 

I've also been playing along at the Wicked Princesses scrap school comp! Here's my first LO, using a recent WP kit containing Jillibean Soup papers:

 

 

I used the same kit for my second LO - quite different isn't it!! I've used the base card stock, PP and some stickers. Most of the rest was from a My Vintage Blossoms kit i got at a recent release:

Well, i'm off to Sydney on Saturday so i'm not sure if i'll get a chance to scrap between now and then. Otherwise, i'll be offline for a week (probably)!! I'm really looking forward to catching up with my family, though a little anxious about flying on my own with 2 kids!!!
