For the love of Pretty Paper NSD Challenge

One of the challenges set by the Facebook group "For the love of Pretty Paper" was a sketch challenge

I'd recently picked up a pack of paper at TK Maxx (As I am running out of kits!) and pulled a load of green, yellow and grey embellishments out of my stash to go with a sheet.  I backed it on a sheet that is actually moustache paper but I like the effect of it just peeking out behind and on the photo mat.

Scrapped a couple of pictures from the Lakes a few years back that have been on my pile for ages. We were out walking to get Alex in training for her DofE expedition.  

I normally struggle to pull my own stash together but this is the 3rd layout where I've gone with a colour theme and it seems to be working!

Right off to pack for Brownie Pack Holiday as I'm away with 8 of my Brownies this weekend.  See you on the other side!

National Scrapbooking Day

So, did you join in?

I was working on the Saturday and so couldn't get to play until Sunday but when I did a made one layout, nearly finished another and made some PL style cards from my pocket scrapbooking pages.

I joined in with challenges from two Facebook groups I belong too - For the love of pretty paper and The Sketchy Scrappers who both organised some brilliant challenges and I hope to do some more over this week for the former and the rest of May for the latter :)

So this was the page I made first with the challenge to use 3 photos and some new stash.

I had two embellishment kits delivered from Freckled Fawn this week so dived in to use the new stash!

Challenge 3 was a fabulous challenge set by Fiona which I thoroughly enjoyed.  It was to make some project life cards,  I don't do PL but I do scrap with pocket pages. They are just fab for adding a load of photos from one event or holiday and I've shared many on here.

I used the remainder of my Gossamer Blue kit from the page above so the cards would blend and I can add lots more photos from our trip to Northumbria in 2008 - I may  even be able to finish the album!

What did you get up to on NSD?  I'll be stopping by this week to take a look :)
