Fabulous Ladies

Hi everyone

Sorry I have been missing in action these last couple of months.  We had a fabulous overseas holiday to Spain, Portugal and London, and then some technical difficulties!

Before I show you layouts from our trip, I want to share a couple of recent layouts of some beautiful netty ladies in my life.  

I recently attended a scrapbooking retreat and these layouts were inspired from some online challenges.  I hadn't scrapped for ages and find that these challenges are great to get the mojo flowing.





ST9024 Brick Stencil


ST5084 Stencil Symbols


CB1268 Floral Spray 16


CB4069 Ornate Frames 26


CB6117 Assorted Words 30


CB1236 Scrap Words 22







ST9076 Cobblestones Stencil


CB1249 Stars 04

There are many online challenge sites who have new themes each month.  Its a great way to be inspired to create.

Hopefully I will now get back to regular posting!  I have some great layouts for you in the next few months - photos from our trip.

Happy Scrapping

Lisette 😊

November Creating

 Good evening my lovelies.

I am very late with my post today but considering that I missed last month completely at least I am here now.

For this month I have two very beautiful girls in very different poses, the first is my beautiful little neighbour, Alaina who looks so cute in her little overalls that belonged to her dad when he was around the same age, his Mum had kept them and bought them over when she came for a visit. Really do suit her so much.


For the page I used a leafy type stencil with some Forest Moss ink, the same color I used on the chippy pieces except for the title which was already black.

I am a big fan of putting cardboard under photos, raising them up to add some dimension and interest to the page, in this case I only did it behind the smaller pic.

Next is a stunning pic of a friend's daughter, as soon as I saw it, I knew I had to scrap her, may have done it and then asked if I could use her pic, thankfully once she saw the layout Mum was very happy.

On this page I used some music notes which I left raw, a piece of the Doorway set inked orange to match the background behind her and some of the gorgeous little lace flowers.

Well that is me for the month.

Hopefully I will be back on track for December, oh my goodness, it will be here before we know it.
I look forward to going to the Retreat at Neville in a couple of weeks, with Kim Ewins, we always have such a lovely relaxing time there, and the ladies are just so nice and welcoming.

Until next time
Hugs and love
Annette
