National Trust Passports - documented :)

A couple of pages to share that I made a couple of weeks ago.  The first one is from a pile of square photos I got printed at Sticky 9 which I am slowly making my way through.

 

Using my 1st Like For Ever kit I came up with this.  I enjoyed the stitching and need to some more of that.  Also used up some old brads and stars on this one.  This captures the moment Alex got her last stamp in her NT passport meaning she had visited 30 different properties!

Josh was a few stamps behind as he was a late starter lol!  But eventually on my birthday last year he visited his 30th property too.  So after I'd scrapped Alex I felt it only fair to do one for him although I had no pic of him holding his passport.  I did however have a series of photos I'd taken trying to get just one good one of the two of them (it's so hard these days!!).  I used a sketch from the Sketchy Scrappers challenge group...

And a Like For Ever kit...

And if you're not sure what the hell I'm talking about here are the passports - old and new...

And several stamps inside...

I think the next 30 are going to be more challenging to find as we have exhausted most of the ones within an hour of here and my parents!

Hello... Is anyone still there?

IOh my poor little blog how I've neglected you but life has been full on thee past few weeks.

Week days have been full of work which has been very challenging with every member on my team bar one giving me some sort of issue. The evenings have been full of commitments - some fun and some rewarding - and I'm desperately trying to fit regular excercising into both my week and weekend which has had some success. (I'm loving Map my walk and enjoying a new form of excercising with Barre Tone). 

In between all that there is the usual running around after offspring for lifts, revision reminders, testing on aforementioned revision and shopping for new clothes and shoes (when is it they stop growing?) plus a little downtime with TV viewing (Gogglebox is a new family favourite round here) and game playing (we rediscovered Yahtzee last week!). Tony and I have been busy in the garden which is looking very green and lush and I even managed a bit of scrapping (actually quite a lot for my rate on NSD). So let me share some of those pages now completed for the Like For Ever challenges...

Using up multiples of one item in your stash - those butterflies have been on my desk for a few years now!

A bingo challenge.  My line was stamping, yellow and staples,  This one is based on a Stuck! sketch...

This last one was inspired by script lettering and is a scraplift from one of Inkie Quill's layouts where she used the left over packaging from her hearts.  It was nice to scrap 6 x 12 for a change and I think I'll do a few more...

Back later this week (I hope!) with a few more.
