No time to scrap …

I’m so very busy at the moment, and I have no time to scrap. I’ve managed to find just enough time to keep up with the Ultimate Scrapbooking Champion contest at Scrapbook Essentials, but apart from that, I haven’t scrapped for at least 2 weeks.

Here is my layout for challenge #4, which was to use at least 2 black & white photos, with a black OR white background and only one other accent colour.
I printed my photos onto white bazzill, to make it look like canvas.

TYLER

And here is my layout for challenge #5, which was to create a double layout about a “challenge” in your life.
I did mine about my Weight Watchers journey in 2001 — I lost 15kg, reached my goal weight, and became a lifetime member. I’m currently about 6kg over that goal weight, but I’m working on getting closer.

GOAL WEIGHT

As I was cleaning up my scrap desk yesterday, I found a pile of layouts that I started at an all-day crop last month (and finished off at home that night). I realised I hadn’t shared any of them on my blog, so here they are:

LOVE MY BOY

MONKEYS

It was Rob’s idea to put a picture of a wedge of cheese on this layout. I wasn’t sure about it (and I’m still not!) but he reckoned it would work, and I trusted him!

STITCHED WITH LOVE

SCRAP PINK

And speaking of scrapbooking, Paper Pesto are hosting a Scrap Pink day on Sunday 30th September as part of a worldwide scrapbooking weekend in support of Breast Cancer research.
It will be held at Atomic Coffee Roasters Cafe in Kingsland from 10am to 4pm. There will be classes in both layouts and cards, as well as make & takes (one done by yours truly!) and spot prizes galore!
Cost will be $20 for a full day and $10 for a half/pop in with all money raised going to the NZ Breast Cancer Foundation. Wear something PINK!
