Layout # 32 & 33 2010 Layout Challenge




OK, this post is for Tracey, one of my fellow scrappers for the past two weekends! Photos were taken in Grand Cayman last March at a turtle farm. The first layout has papers and embellishments from Basic Gray Archaic collection, bazzill card stock, buttons, black flocking, and brown felt "Thickers". For the second one, I used paper from My Minds Eye, the same brown "Thickers", stickers from Jolee's, frame from MME, title sticker from BoBunny, and "Journey" jounalling spots from CTMH . So my only problem with these layouts is: Is Iguanas the proper plural form? It looks funny to me.....guess I should dig out the dictionary.

Layout # 28-31 2010 Layout Challenge











I just attended a fantastic scrappin' getaway in Gimli this past weekend, hosted by Kim from The Scrappin' Studio. My wonderful friend from Ontario (also named Kim) flew here to attend this event with me....along with a couple of my friends from here in Winnipeg. We had a blast, lots of laughs, fun in the hot tub, and managed to get a few pages done too! And one of those friends (not mentioning any names....Tracey) chided me for not posting any layouts here lately! LOL So here you go Tracey!!
The first three are photos taken last year at Capt. Kennedy's Museum and Tea Room near Lockport, MB. My mom was visiting from Nova Scotia and we went for lunch and strolled through the English garden. The paper, titles, embellishments are all from We R Memory Keepers Designer scrapbook pad - Tiffany's, edge punch from EK Success, brown marker used for journaling. The fourth layout is one of those layouts that you put off doing because the photos aren't great or you just don't really know what you want to do, both apply in this case. The pictures were taken on a cruise and it was the first time I had seen a champagne waterfall so I felt the need to include them in the album. The paper is really old paper that I picked up at Micheals and it was supposed to resemble an artist's painting. Topped it with a piece of lace card stock from K I Memories, photos are matted with card stock.
Lots more layouts to come....and I have another day crop that I am attending on Saturday. I hope to get many more done so that it gets me a little ahead of the game before the really nice weather hits and I don't want to be indoors!
89 layouts to go.......
