Back to High School

HIGH SCHOOL

Week 13 of Soul Scrappers' childhood memories series challenge is about high school.  I did a double for this. This year there was a reunion (I chose not to go) and some of the ex-students decided to do a tour of the School. These are some of the pics they put on their facebook page.

I've used Kaisercraft's base coat papers, which I really love.

Freaky Socks for From Screen 2 Scrap

I have created the following layout for this month's From Screen 2 Scrap challenge.  The inspiration movie poster is:

FREAKY FRIDAY

(Suggested by Jane)

1pt = Green and Purple cardstock
2pts = The word 'FREAKY' in your title
3pts = A cut out figure/s on your page

Here's my layout : Freaky Socks

It's really interesting when you see something different in another country. I'd find these uncomfortable but I'm sure that some people love them. Horses for courses.

Spooktacular - A Halloween layout

HALLOWEEN - A spooky layout


This month's inspiration at Archi-Scraps is the following picture, plus chipboard. It's a pretty cool pic. I could have gone gothic church with a travel layout but have chosen Halloween.

I invited all of Mark's class to go trick or treating and then come back to our house for a party. This photo shows most of them. They all looked great. I sent them off in two groups with a parent helper each.

I've used the following products to create this layout:


cherryArte Morocco chipboard (the circle that says original)
My Mind's Eye (MME) Mischievous Bewtiching pp
Creative Memories (CM) Hocus Pocus 6x6 pp
Cm Earthy Storybox photo mat
Ruby Rock It twine
CM Hocus Pocus layered stickers
Echo Park Apothecary Emporium element stickers
Mr Huey's sunset mist
CM Enchanted epoxy stickers
MME Decorative brads - haunter
Mrs Grossman's Happy Halloween bat stickers
MME Haunted die-cut
CM purple pen

Childhood Memories Week 12 – Memorable Moments

  

The ages between 5 and 12 can be such special ones, filled with learning, playing, growing creating special memories and magical moments - too many to count.

This week I’d like us to focus on those memorable times – the things that stand out to you from this period in your life.

I was quite horse mad, like a lot of young girls. I couldn't wait to learn to ride a horse. At 8 years old I started lessons at a local academy. My Aunt went along with me. We did practical riding and also some theory at each lesson.  

Here is a double I made of some photos of me dressed to go to a lesson and a certificate I received. 

Pin Ceremony for Kaiser Sketch #2 March 2013

Kaisercraft's sketch #2 for March 2013 is:



I've done it as a School layout for Mark's album using Kaisercraft products and a couple of handmade embellies.

Explore - a travel page

I've entered this page in Anna's  Craft Cupboard's March sketch competition. There is another entry called explore as well, a page about Pisa in Italy. Would like to go there also.

Here's Wendy Smith's sketch:



I started off with a beautiful piece of Creative Memories paper, it's a soft light grey with white and silver embossed designs. I thought it suited the photos really well. I've added in some Basic Grey Wander, the title is Teresa Collins World Traveller, the journal spot is a Kaisercraft rub on and I've got some Scrap Matrix chipboard that I painted green.

Thanks for looking.

Cooking with Shapes challenge for Soul Scrappers (includes Tutorial)

Here I go with my second Design Team challenge at Soul Scrappers.

I have chosen to do Cooking with Shapes. We all use shapes every time we create. I have chosen to focus us using a lot of them in one page.

Here's the criteria:

S -  Swirl

H - Half (I'm thinking half a shape, maybe an artisan paper or die-cut)

A - Arch or Arc (your choice)

P - Pie chart

E - Embellished shape of your choice

S - Shapes (I have used lots of scallops, some stars, swirl as required, zig zag and squares)

I started with a Creative Memories quick album page for School. It already had the yellow background with lots of circles, a scallop edge, a rectangle with curved edges and a zig zag pattern and a swirl. A great start. Then I cut a blue artisan paper with scalloped edge and added it to the left of the page. I laid out my photos and added the scallop sticker to the left hand side, then stuck down my photos.

Next I made my pie chart with my Creative Cutting circle system from Creative Memories. I also used a die-cut from the CM School quick cut, this is my arc shape which also has circles on it. I added some AC thickers with Swan. I added my title and a star sticker. I also added a Crate Paper Chipboard piece that had a star as well.

Lastly, came my journalling. This was a pretty quick page as part of the work was done for me. The pie chart took the most time with the measuring and cutting. Another School page for Mark's album completed.

I hope you can join me in this challenge. Just head over to here to join in.

P.S. Don't forget the challenges at Archiscraps and From screen 2 scrap. They both only have two entries so far. We'd love to see some more. Also, your chance to win a prize is very high.
