Saturday Spotlight Wk 18

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

This week's page is 'Ivy' by Susan56. I love the old photo and the way she has used muted colours, perfect for the photo.

This, to me, is what scrapbooking is all about. Preserving those special memories and remembering the important people in our lives. I also love the labelling. Beautiful page Susan x

The kits Susan used are, 'Dare to let it Hurt', 'Dare to Create Change' and 'Dare to Be The Real You' all by Angie Young.

'Cream & Sugar' digi-kit and A New Craft Room!

I need this kit!  I just love the colours and the embellishments - even though I don't actually scrap pages about cups of coffee lol. So really, I have no idea what I would use this kit for, but will think of something and still want it! Laurie Ann is such a talented designer.

Unfortunately, funds are low due to the installation of a brand new craft room in my house. How lucky am I? Can't quite believe it. Painting is finished and IKEA units are installed.  Just waiting for shelves to go up, a blind for the window and a radiator.  Have bought so many plastic boxes for storage and I'm busying myself sorting through my stash and organising it into the boxes. 

Weirdly, I am enjoying this almost as much as the actual crafting - is it just me that LOVES storage? So will be a week or so till I actually move in.

I've been doing a lot of traditional scrapping (paper and glue) lately. So it will be heaven to be able to work on a page without having to tidy everything away at night. I might even get brave enough to put some of my pages on here :/  Still loving my digi scrapping though :)

In a Word Winner

Well done to our winner,  Patricia (wickedred)  Your page really made me smile.

Thank you to all who entered. I appreciate the time and effort that goes into your entries.

I've decided (with regret) to stop hosting challenges on my blog as there seems to be little interest. I may continue the challenge at a later date, but for now I will suspend the challenge. Thank you again to all who have supported the challenges :)

Welcome to The Saturday Spotlight!

I've chosen 'Gingerbread Train' this week by Nikki  (Nikki67)

The embellishments she's used compliment the photos so well and I love the LO, Plus the cake is pretty cool too!

The kits Nikki used are 'Jolly Gingerbread' from Daisytrail and 'Christmas Party' from Valentina's Creations.

Fab page nikki, thank you :)

Month of Challenges Finished!

I am so pleased to say that I did it! I produced a page every single day throughout the month of January. I now feel exhausted, but proud of myself for rising to the challenge.

The challenge was run by The Lily Pad, where I can often be found hanging around lol.

This is the last page I did - the criteria was to use an old photo that has been scanned in. I have always loved this photo so was an easy choice :)

This week I've chosen this gorgeous, grungy page by Donna (SunnyD)

The torn paper and soft colouring give the beautiful photo such a relaxed feel. Just stunning.
