Layout Share

I was very excited to have actually scrapped at the retreat....it's not usual for me to scrap much at crops and stuff, I don't know....I think I get stage fright! Or maybe I'm just too busy chattering and sticky-beaking at everyone else's work....

Anyhow, here's what I created....

This first page was my "live" page kit swap - previously we had posted our chosen photos up on the forum and our swap-mate put together a kit of goodies for our layout. Kim chose the most perfect papers and embies for me, and this is what I did with them....

I pulled out a fail-safe Pip Prosser Takeaway for this colourful double....

Eastern inspired colours and bling for Mia's Bollywood pics....

....played with Heather's Cuttlebug to make my title....

My project I taught for the PJ Party Layout Class....

While I was off retreating, the rest of the world carried on, including new challenges at Design Dollies.

I created this (one I prepared earlier!) for the Purple Black & White colour challenge.

I really don't "do" purple - so it most definitely WAS a challenge!

Lastly, check out the current DD Sketch Challenge.....

.....has to be one of my faves I reckon....

Thanks for stopping by!
