Dinosaurs Unleashed

I don't often do double layouts......prefer singles!!  But I liked the sketch at Let's Scrap so pinched some photos from my daughter to do a layout for her album!!

I am leaving her to do the journalling!!!

This is the sketch.....

 

You have 6 days to complete a layout!!!

You 3 Make Me Happy!

This is a layout that I did at the ScrapAGoGo Retreat last weekend.  Had a super time....but probably should have talked less and I would have done a lot more layouts!!!  LOL

 

I had to print the photo in black and white as we were all wearing clashing colours!!!

I am entering the challenge at Another Freaking Scrappy Challenge - 1st October Prompt - What makes you happy?

Challenge closes at the end of the month.

Hey Good Looking!

Love this photo of Alex taken on his 10th birthday.....watch out girls!!!!!!

 

I printed the photo 8x6 on canvas but not too sure if I like it!!  It has come out softer but it is probably because I usually use glossy photos!!

I used the sketch- 132 at Sketches in Thyme.....

 

The challenge closes at the end of the month so lots of time to scrap!!

http://sketchesinthyme.blogspot.co.uk/2014/10/sketch-132.html 

I am also entering this at The Studio Challenges who required a larger photo than 6x4.  As I usually use 6x4 this was definitely out of my comfort zone!!!

You have until 9th November to scrap larger than 4x6...so go for it!!!

60th Birthday

For my 60th birthday I had a party at home and this layout has a photo of everyone who was there!!  We had a super time...but as I have now moved to a small bungalow there won't be any more parties!!

 

I was inspired by the sketch at Let's Scrap.....

   

...I only did a single layout but I was definitely inspired by the squares!  I managed to get 30+ photos on here as there are a couple in the little book too!!

The challenge closes on 14th October so be quick to scrap!!
