New Computer

Alex saved up for ages to be able to buy his computer! It all came in bits and he had to build it himself! I think they call it a 'gaming' computer as it is very fast!!!

I started with the sketch - 180 at Sketch-N-Scrap......

 

 

 

....and I don't think I did too bad!!! LOL

Sharon and Alex - Walton

Sharon took Alex to Walton for the day and they were going to go fossil hunting!! Love these two photos of the two of them.....

 

I am entering the challenge at Creative Embellishments....

 

I did struggle with all the blues on the mood board so ended up using every blue spray (that worked!) and blue paint that I had for the background....plus a couple of stencils!! There are also a couple of Creative Embellishments on the layout...in the end I was pleased with it!!! The extra criteria was waves or clouds...the waves are in the sea!!!

The challenge closes at the end of the month so time to get scrapping!!

This challenge closes on the 26th July.....

Beach Time

As we live at the 'seaside' we often go to the beach...but usually when there are not a lot of day trippers so these photos were taken in October during ½ term!  It was a lovely day (hence no coats) and I love the way the sun was shining on the sea!

I am entering the challenge at Archi-scraps......

 

 

.....whose criteria is to be inspired by seashells.

The challenge closes at the end of the month.

A Little Dirt.....

....Doesn't Hurt!!  I thought this was an ideal title for Cassie at the Nuclear Races!!!  The children (and adults) run a course through mud!!!  Then get hosed down at the end!!!!!!!!!!

 

I am entering the challenge at UnstampaBelles who require stencils and sprays.....I have lots of stencils and have used the Tim Holtz - Splatters and also the Tando - Footprints! I have been trying to think why I got the footprints...must have been for Father Christmas? 

I had to resort to paint as my sprays were all clogged up and wouldn't spray!!!!

I am also entering the challenge at ARTastic ....

 

...this is the picture by Rita Angus entitled 'Cass'.....and the criteria is to use paint!

Cassie running up and down hills and also being the namesake of the picture seemed ideal for the challenge!!!

UnstampaBelles challenge closes on the 26th July.....
