Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 20- My Creation

Well after an exhausting week and another busy weekend, I finally finished this challenge a day late! I went back to 1998, and have scrapbooked some photos of my gorgeous sister and her friends dancing at an eisteddfod at Bankstown RSL. I used retired Designer Series Paper "Newsprint", and the colour I added to Basic Black and Very Vanilla was Real Red. I also used a retired stamp set "In The Stars" which is one I just can't seem to part with; and a retired punch that makes a paper binding pattern which I like to use to create film strips. I added the film strip to the right hand edge of the layout, allowing me to fit another 8 smaller photos in of the actual dance performance. It made me remember how much I used to enjoy seeing my little sister dance!

Here are some close ups of the photos and film strip:

Have a good week! Don't forget to have a look at Adele's and Maree's blogs too!

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 18- My Creation

This one was such a fun sketch to do! I started out with the brightest colour scheme I could think of for a fun little boys page, as I wanted to use my new Stampin' Up! Stamp Set "I DIG YOU". Then I remembered I had some photos of our pool being dug that I hadn't got around to scrapbooking yet. So here it is!

Don't forget to see what Adele and Maree created!

Cheaper Than Therapy Challenge 17- My Creation

I loved using my new Stampin' Up! Stamp Set "DINOROAR" for this layout- the dinosaurs are so cute! For this Challenge, we had to use the new In Colours: Island Indigo, Pool Party, Lucky Limeade and Calypso Coral; paired with a sketch from the Colour Room. The sketch had buttons on it, and as I didn't have any matching ones, I cut buttons out of cardstock with the Big Shot Die Cutting Machine. I also added a few small pieces of Designer Series Paper from the "Cheerful Treat" Hostess pack. Here is my creation (just need to do title, journalling and add photos):

DINOROAR!

Hope you like it and have a great week! Don't forget to look at Maree's and Adele's Creations too!
