I wonder

. Finally is  Annelie's challenge following this photo as inspiration 

and this is what I have decided to do with this particular layout 

Now lets see if I can link this post three different times. fingers crossed. Kirsty 

bright side of life

Layout number two is Hannahs recipe challenge Man this one had me stumped here is what I came up with

the challenge was to use 1 stamped image which are the butterflies in the top right corner. 2 staples which are attaching my twine in the left. 3 card stock background paper black segment card and shape outline . Four words in the title reads bright side of life. Five patterned papers and my segments and six stickers are the pyramid shape in the left hand corner. See I told you that this was hard but then it wouldn't be a challenge then would it 

oh hail

Am trying something different this weekend and linking three layouts on one post. Fingers crossed that this works. These three layouts make my seven layouts for the website http://challengemehappy. they have had a birthday celebration and lots of different challenges that have taken us to our limits. The first layout that I want to share is

sorry about the glare of the camera. I got to use six photos in this layout so that took a big chunk out of the photo box. I liked the overlay piece that has been sitting in the box just waiting for the right photos. this is the ad that I used as inspiration thanks Lisa for the challenge.

Be yourself

Another challenge for the lets get sketchy website. Saw a layout similar to this on the net while surfing this week and decided that the colour squares made an effective background so decided to see if I could do something along that line and this is what I came up with.

was a good way to use up a whole lot of scraps and am pretty impressed with the layout so therefore I have achieved a goal. the background white card stock actually has a wood grain print on it that didn't show up in the photo well these are some of my favourite papers at the moment. Here is the sketch I was following The design team are doing an amazing job with the inspiration and comments and this is my favourite sketch site at the moment. http://www.letsgetsketchy Thanks for looking Kirsty

Life is pretty amazing

Another challenge for the http://www.letsgetsketchy blog I am enjoying these challenges and this one is no different. Getting lots of use out of the washi tape at the moment this is my new favourite product. Anyway this is the sketch  see I told you they have pretty cool sketches and this is the sketch that I have come up with

I am ot use to using such busy paper but I think that it looks ok with what I have done with it and this particular paper has been in my stash for a while so I am pleased with this layout. Loving the comments that you people are leaving on my blog it makes me feel that I am not just talking to myself . Thanks for looking Kirsty.

you and me

I am cruising along with the birthday challenge over at http://challengemehappy and this is Marie's Challenge. This was a sketch challenge which are my favourite in fact I don't think I could do a layout without a sketch to start me off. I don't normally stamp on my layouts because once the stamp is down there is no going back so this was a challenge to me. This is the layout that I came up with.
Start of the school holidays this week I have the first three days off and so will hope to come back with more layout during my spare time. thanks for looking Kirsty

try to smile

man this is an old photo it must have been taken when Hannah was about ten which is now five years ago but it is in my box so it needs to be scrapped. love the sketch over at http://www.letsgetsketchy which looks like this and this is what I have decided to do with it

dont you just love the background paper and the wood frames are pretty cool as well. I think I have done this sketch justice. thanks for looking Kirsty
