Finishing LO's

I have a few layouts half done - don't we all!  So I decided to try and finish a few off.  Here are 3 of them.

These photos are from Gogo Getaway earlier in the year.

This layout is from Katherines primary school leaving party.  The names of all the kids are on the tag behind the photo.

  This is an old photo from 2004!

Still a few more to finish off!!

Becky at Tenaya Lake

I did this layout for this weeks UKS challenge.  Part of the challenge was to use 3 different patterned papers from 3 different manufacturers which was harder than I thought!  Photo is another one from our holiday.

Who is taller?

Another California LO and again I used a sketch from the Sketches! {by Tamara} blog.

Paper is BG euphoria bless with some bazzill and doodlebug letters. Plus the gorgeous Queen & Co felt.

The journalling tells the story of a summer of Becky standing on her toes in photos so she is taller than her sister. They were measured a couple of days ago and Becky is now officially taller!

Productive Crop

  Today was our local monthly crop.  Normally I am lucky to complete 2 layouts but today I managed 4 -must be a record for me.

All the photos are from the recent California trip and used various elements of the last couple of studio calico kits.

The first one was based on a sketch on a blog I have only just found called Sketches! by Tamara (see link on left.)  Unusually for me the layout ended up looking very similar to the sketch - no rotating even!

 

This one is also using a sketch from the Sketches! by Tamara blog.

For this one I used a page maps sketch but changed the size to A4.

 

The final layout is very very basic but it is 2 more pictures scrapped.  It may need a little more journalling to explain the title.

Sausilito

Some more holiday photos.  Papers are from August Studio Calico kit.  

Union Square

  So I am on a roll now!  This layout was done for this weeks UKS challenge using a sketch, black and white, 9 embellishments (there are 9 gems honest!) but I did forget the stampng. 

Pictures were taken on holiday - the bottom left and the right hand one were taken from the cheesecake factory at the top of Macys (top left).

Used basic grey - black tie -black with KI memories lace cardstock.  Some doodlebug pink letter stickers and doodlebug rub-ons.

California 2008 layouts begin..

Due to holidays it has been a while since I have done any layouts but here are my first 2 layouts from this years holiday in California.

This photo of Katherine was taken at Seaworld whilst sat in a cafe.  I think it is a really nice picture.

I used August's Studio Calico kit.

   

The second layout is some mediocre photos of the sunset taken on Mission Beach San Diego.  Unfortunately we never saw a completely clear sunset but it was still nice down on the beach.

Used July's Studio Calico kit.

Am I taller yet?

These photos were taken a few days ago.  Becky is very nearly as tall as her sister but not quite there yet.  I think Becky is keener for it to happen than Katherine!!

Used this months studio calico kit.

Castle to Harbour

This is the left side of a double layout done on the castle to harbour swimming race.  The race is from the breakwater on Elizabeth Castle right into the harbour and marina finishing by the maritime museum.  Everyone did really well and it was a very enjoyable afternoon.

Here is the other side.

Tigz & Barley

This layout was inspired by the CHA challenge on the Triple the Sketch Blog

I used MM paper from this months Scrapagogo kit and the flowers/ brads were from the same kit. The lace was from a pack I bought at gogo getaway.

I took the photo and then realised I hadn't written on the tag! It will say July '08 Tigz and Barley in the garden
