27th December - Looking Back

 Good Morning!

Today's challenge is ...

Looking Back; what a year it has been! As the new year is nearly upon us I want you to look back and review the year. What have you learnt? What would you prefer to forget?!

Lori

2020 has definitely looked a little different for us, but not all bad. I used one of my favorite photos and journaled a lot about how this year has been for us. You can read more about it on my blog.

Maya

Michelle

2020 was an especially bad year for our family. Without a doubt, the best thing that happened was the addition of sweet, precious Felix. I decided to create a layout of him.

Rainny

This is a photo taken on my birthday this year.

We simply celebrate my birthday at home. Jerry took a few funny selfies with me.

This year, due to COVID-19, we have a lot of inconveniences. Also let us cherish all the people around us more. Peace and health is the greatest happiness.

I hope that the epidemic will end soon and everything will be back on track. I hope all people are safe and healthy.

I hope that's inspired you to give it a go I think it's important to document the year good or back, it's great to look back on. Please link up your layouts to the side bar, we would like to see them.

I hope you all have a lovely Christmas however you spent it and we look forward to a new year that is better for everyone.

Happy New Year!

Happy Scrapping!

20th Sept- Old Stash

Today's challenge is to use ...

Old Stash; we want you to do some stash busting and use some of your old stash on your layout, the older the better!

Diana

I did a recent de-stash of my crafting supplies so the oldest paper items I had was summer farmhouse from Simple Stories. So I used the papers and stickers to create the entire layout and a card. 

Lori

For my layout, I have used Pink Paislee's - Hey Kid - collection. It's not the oldest stash that I have but it did come out in 2013...7 years is quite a while to hang onto scrappy stash!

Michelle

Hey everyone. For this stash busting challenge I used a collection called 'Flutter' by Fancy Pants from 2014.

 

 

Rainny

For this layout, I used the patterned papers I bought many years ago, the die cut ephemera of Cocoa Vanilla Studio in 2017, and the Acetate words of Heidi Swapp in 2015.

Please link up your layouts using old stash to the side bar by 4th October, we would love to see them.

Happy Scrapping!

 Special Person; create a layout about a special person in your life. They maybe someone that has changed your life in some why or maybe it's a family member or a special friend that's helped you and that you haven't been able to see for a while etc

Diana

I choose to do a layout about my youngest son. He just recently graduated High School. This is something we weren't sure he'd be able to. He was diagnosed with Autism when he was nine after years of trying to get him help. Then adding to it he was also diagnosed with ADHD and anxiety. 

Helen

I chose to scrap about my best friend Helen, we have been friends for over 30 years and I am very lucky to have her in my life.

I scrapped this family photo that was taken on my wedding day with me and my husband's family. Our families are so special to us because they are gifts that lasts forever. We love them and we are loved by them!

Michelle

Hey everyone. I decided to create a layout of my 2 adorable grandsons. There is nothing more special than these 2 little sweeties. I am so thankful and blessed.
