Hi everyone, Just by the skin of my teeth I finished 2 challenges yesterday and had to upload them for today, the above layout is for the SCRAPJACKED challenge, I chose to copy a layout by the super talented Julie Dudley, I hope she will like it. Below is her version that I copied from. The pic is one of my favourites Jan took of me feeding Nate strawberries in the bath.......
(This is Julie's gorgeous layout)
And below for 123 CHALLENGE, the criteria - colours purple, use punches and have the word Beautiful on the page. I love purple but had to hunt to find this paper, it is the Fancy Pants "Girl" line from about a year ago. The layout is of my sister's wedding where Nate was the Page Boy. I used my Creative Memories small circle punch to create the scollops and although it took a lot of time, I really enjoyed making this.
Nate gets his 4yr old needles today and then we are going to Amber's (her house was completely covered by 10m of water in the flood) got together some toys and excess scrappy supplies to give her, she is doing well, being extremely positive even though her flood cover didn't cover her for this particular flood?
I hope you are all well and enjoy the new week ahead, look forward to catching up with you all soon. Love Melxx
