I used one of the new yummy websters pp. I also used some stampin up PP scraps, music paper, K & Company rub ons, thickers, basic grey rubons, prima bling, kaiser pearls, lace and the metal heart I cut off an old pair of the girls pants. Im reasonably happy with how this turned out

This is my entry for the April challenge at Scraptivate. This months challenge is to be about 'TIME'.
The papers and embellies I used for this LO were given to me by Chris, over at http://born2create.ning.com/
She gave me so much yummy stuff to play, and this my first LO using her goodies. Thanks Chris,
So for this challenge I have hand written a time quote on the pink tag and the circle tag in the top right corner says "enjoy the time is now yours"
I dont normally do bright colours but im really happy with how this turned out.
I used My Memories PP, Kaiser felt, Making Memories brads, heidi swapp circle verse, kaiser rub ons, basic grey doily, lace, thread for cross stiching and flowers. I love this photo of the girls swimming at xmas time.

Christmas layout

For the scrapbook apprentice round 1 we had to do a 12 x 12 layout. I decided to do 2 layouts. This is the one I chose not to send in for the competition. I have used Papermania patterned paper, and a range of embellishments that were sent to me from Printblocks. The holly leaves are just from a cheap shop.

Scrapbook Apprentice First Round projects finished

Woohoo Ive finished the first round projects for the scrapbook apprentice competition. Two people are eliminated this round, so thats a bit scary. For this round the tasks were a 12 x 12 layout, one card and a small miscellaneous project. It took me a couple of demos of the card before I was happy with it and I have done two layouts, so just gotta choose which one i like the best. I hope I make it throught this first round.
