Week 14 for SLYMI challenge, to scrap something hidden! This grafitti is well hidden on the underside of a bridge along a footpath not many people use. Last time we walked there the theme was pirates but it was obviously painted over with a Christmas theme! This is one of the best, I think it is brilliant and a shame more people won't see it! I have also hidden the journalling on a pull out tag under the photo!


Week 13 of Scrap Like You Mean It, to use stamping! So I stamped the title letters and cut them out, and used a stamp for the journalling tag, and stamped the sheep along the bottom! The photo is of my sister, being dwarfed by the giant statue of a sheep shearer, but I don't know where in Australia this was taken, must find out!

This week's challenge on UKS was to use any new stash, notes or journalling, glitter or glitz, lace, sewing and embellishments! That was quite a challenge but I managed it with this old photo of my Mum!

March week 4 challenge on UKS, to use a book title, earth tones, wet/water photo and have secret journalling! Think I covered all those things with this lo showing the boathouse at Winkworth Arboretum. The lovely embellishments were made by one of my team on UKS for a flower swap we did, and go so well with this lo! Thank you Samm!

Scrap Like You Mean It, week 11 challenge was to scrap using fabric, so the background is material, the flowers are made from knitted fabric, used lace and an odd piece of fancy yarn that was lying around! Photo is dd2 celebrating a birthday at her aunt's house in Bordeaux, over 10 years ago!

March week 2 challenge on UKS. had to scrap something I am addicted to, and it had to be spices, I do like flavour in my food! Also had to use a flower, some blue and have a song title or lyrics in the title.

SLYMI week 10 was to scrap a funny face, though this might look more of a scary face!
















My sil's grandchild, fascinated by purple DM's and stripey socks, couldn't resist trying them on! Photo was taken nearly 10 years ago now, he'd probably be very embarrased by this!
