Some layouts I have been working on. There are so many things going on in scrappy world at the moment I just can't keep up. There is a DT call, but I have decided not to go for it. I just don't feel confident enough in my work to do it yet. Steve thought I should so I promised him I will give one a go in the next year. SBO have a whole lot of fun going on with challenges and raffles all ending with a gala bash cyber crop at the end of the month. So, the layouts.......
This first one is for Louises week 1 blog challenge. The challenge she set was to not use any manufacturers patterned paper. But we could make our own. It took me all week to come up with some inspiration and finally around 1pm this afternoon I found the photo which inspired the patterned paper. I have used different sized lids and stamped the circles on the paper, representing the bubbles. The colours were inspired by the colours in the bubbles themselves. The circles around the photo I stamped and cut out, just like I would if I had a patterned paper.
This next layout is for the no 8 wired NZ dare blog. The challenge was to use onlt 2 differnt colours. I have used different shades of brown and blue. I actually found this incredibly difficult. I was umming and ahhing about entering it because it is pretty simple. But I love it and it is a photo I love of Isaac.
The last one is for a challenge on scrapbook outlet. No winners or losers you just earn raffle tickets. The challenge was to scrap christmas food. I don't have very many photos of christmas food at all. But I remembered I had these photos of Tobyn making a gingerbread house while we were in the States. I had already tried scrapping it a while ago but didn't like the way it was going. So this time I printed out some smaller photos. I thought I would do a double layout and went to pagemaps for some ideas. I found a sketch, single page that I thought would work and used that. I had it all done and didn't like it. I showed Steve and said I wasn't happy but couldn't put my finger on why. He said the green under the photo isn't quite right and I agreed. It was a darker brighter green like in the top christmas trees. I covered it with the lighter green and I was surprised at how different it made it look. Now I still don't love it but I am so happy to now have this memory scrapped for his album!!!
I don't have any more layouts and I don't have any other news for now so TTFN Until next time...

EEps, hope you and your family get well really fast. Poor Tobyn, those infections can be so painful, hope the antibiotics kick in real fast and clear it up.
Great LO's- love how you used the lids for stamping, worked so well and Hogwarths nursery is just too cute! That photo is priceless and I reckon the simple treatment works really well and lets the photo be the main focus!
Hmm gingerbread houses are an american tradition? nono;p It's also a very german thing to do 0.o
So sorry to hear that you are all sick - I hope Tobyn's ear infection clears up quickly and that the pain subsides for him. And that your cough goes away. I know what it's like, I had that cough for 4-5 weeks!
Awesome layouts, I love the way you have stamped the paper for Louise's challenge, what a brilliant idea! Love it! The others pages are great also. You're on a roll!
I love the hogwarts photo too - very cute! Your layouts are looking fabulous and you are right - it's a very busy time in the scrapping world for challenges and stuff happening. I'm trying hard to keep up too! Hope you are feeling a little better today.
Hope everybody is feeling better, it's bad enough when one gets it, but when there is more than one, it's havoc. You've been on a roll with your pages, well done.
Yuck... sucks having the whole house out of action! On the silver lining side you have been rocking some gorgeous pages. I've always wanted to make a gingerbread house!
