Scrappy Kea

I just can't help it! I'm loving 'scraplifting' these layouts. My fave of these two is the first one which is a scrap lift of Rhonna Farrer. I enjoyed playing with some bright colours & decorative scissors for this lift of Wendy... thanks for looking :-)

No.8 is doing an inbetween dare - you have to lift some of the freestylers so check it out - heaps of inspiration for this one. I couldn't just do one so have done two & hope to do some more... Lifted Tia Bennett Lifted Emily Falconbridge Last night we had our monthly crop at Scrap Of Faith . As well as bingo & a quiz there were two scrapping challenges. An early bird one & one due on Monday. This layout was for the longer challenge - it had to include the word 'faith' in it.

the photo in the previous post that is.... Nik challenged me at our scrap retreat to create a layout with no patterned paper. I went to use some Basic Grey tags & wasn't allowed to use them either!! - if they are patterned paper why are they called tags? Anyway I like what resulted from the challenge :-) The retreat was fantastic - hot - but heaps of fun with many laughs! A few early mornings - like to bed early in the morning & up only a little later - but 8am is a sleep in for a mum! I got 15 layouts completed which was pretty good - but Louise got 23 pages done (of some paper bag albums) - what an amazing effort. Have the total number of pages coming which I'll post on the retreat blog - when I get around to it! The retreat was sooo good we are adding a Friday onto the next one for those who can get away for an extra day. The make & takes wen't down really well. They were sponsored by the Scrapbook Outlet & Scrapbook Essentials - both these st...
