I dare you…………

Hi all,

Well I’ve been busy, busy, busy! After cleaning our little home away from home Sunday morning I still had the energy to scrap and scrap I did. I also really couldn’t wait to see what my lovely friend Carole came up with for the Pencil Lines site. I’ve never created a page from some one else’s sketch before only when I’ve sketched out a page for myself. So I jumped at the chance. Checking the site several times before it was posted. Then straight up stairs and scraped the page. It didn’t take too long and I love it! I think that I will do some more of the sketches it’s a good thing if you are lacking in inspiration and the page that Carole did is amazing. I've glittered this page all over and layered the flowers it's just such a shocking photo! Sorry



The other project that I wanted to do was the World Wide Dare the challenge was to create a page that followed these guidelines.

How Dare You - Fill the page, leave no space un-altered.
No 8 Wired - Childhood memories/dreams.
The Effer Dares - Title on the photo.
Everyone Is Spechal - Throw some paint in there.

This is what I came up with I have wanted to scrap this photo of Josh & I since I put it up on my blog back in August. It’s not my favourite LO but I like how it turned out.

Not all that much else on the agenda at the moment trying to keep warm is at the top of the list. No one told me it would get this cold, honestly some times I fel like i've move to the Artic not England. I'm sorry about the bad photography but it's dark in the morning before I go to work and dark at 4:30 in the afternoon so natural light is very har to come by. lol I really do like being here though!


I’m off to Scrapbook Sisters tomorrow night to do a class it a page ‘all about me’ and I though it’d be a good idea to talk about my reactions, thoughts and feelings about moving to England. Isn’t scrapbooking just the greatest way to record memories!

Enough blah, blah from me for now anyways! ROFL

Hugs
