Stretch a sketch

There was a sketch challenge included in the Scrapz Virtual Crop & since I love sketches I was always going to give this one a crack but when I sat down to start I couldn't decide which of the photos I was going to use on the page. After a bit of contemplation I decided that the sketch could easily be stretched into a double which meant I could use all the photos :-)  These photos of Tiege when he received his very own tractor for his 2nd birthday just bring so many lovely memories flooding back... love them all!

I also signed up for a class at Big Picture Classes a little while ago which starts tomorrow. It's called "Double Take" & is all about double pages. I do like doing doubles so I'm looking forward to picking up some new ideas & techniques from this class over the coming weeks. Hopefully I'll have some new & different double pages to share as I go :-)

Thanks for dropping by... love that you do!! :-)

A couple of challenges

The mojo is slowly returning & I've managed to do a couple of challenges... Yippee!!

This first one is a virtual class that was taught by the ultra-talented Kerryn Lawson at Scrapz Biz. It's a fabulous class & it's always fabulous to see what all the girls come up with... there's already some gorgeous pages popping up in the gallery :-)

So here's mine... 2nd birthday photo from nearly 4 years ago so it was good to get it scrapped.

My next page is for the monthly sketch challenge at Scrapbooking Top50. It was such a lovely sketch so very easy to work with. I've been using lots of the gorgeous handmade embellishments that so many clever girls have been selling lately... they are all so gorgeous.

So here's my page... another older photo from a few years ago.

This last page was another one that I did up from the page kit that I used in my last post.

So I think I'll go & pull out some more paper & see if I can stoke up the old mojo even more... I still have lots of challenges I'd like to have a crack at.

Thanks for taking the time to have a look at my blog :-)
