Gogo Getaway

I have just spent a fab weekend at the Gogo Getaway in Hertfordshire.  This was my 5th time and it just gets better and better.

I came home with 10 completed layouts!

Class 1 - "The Counting House" by Lorraine Ablett

For this one I chose a picture of my younger daughter taken at the Science Museum.

Class 2  - "A Touch of Glass" by Sam Ball

The photos which were taken the week of my older daughters 18th birthday are all enclosed in glass with copper tape around the edge.  This photo really doesn't do it justice.  I really loved this class as it was something new that I would never have done at home.

Rather than uploading 10 LO's at once I will spread them over the week, so more tomorrow.

March monthly crop

Yesterday was our monthly crop and I created 4 LO's.  They are all based on the February Scrapagogo kit including one of the add on kits I couldn't resist!  I added a few flowers, butterflies, letters and tags from my stash and made liberal use of my round the page punches!  The photos were all taken on our recent holiday in Tenerife.

Chinese Whispers 2

Here is the second of my Chinese Whispers Layouts for this month.  This one was created using the February Scrapagogo kit except for the letters.

Chinese Whispers again

Here is the first of my layouts for the next round of Chinese Whispers.

I used the January Scrapagogo kit and the photo was taken last summer when my Sister-in-law and her husband visited us from California.

February Crop

It was our local monthly crop today and I did 3 LO's plus started a fourth.

These are mostly using some older scrapagogo kits with a few extra bits.

Another Day at Durrell

Layout number 5 from the January Scrapagogo kit although I did add some dark green Bazzill from my stash.  (There is one layout I haven't uploaded yet as it is for the Chinese Whispers so I will add that on March 1st)

Durrell is the local 'zoo' and I have lost count how many times we have been and how many photos I have from there! 

The leaves are done using a new MS punch I couldn't wait to play with!

3 Broomsticks

I created this LO using the February 'Blueprint to Go' on the Scrapagogo forum but as the February kit hasn't been sent yet I used the January kit so I didn't follow the colours just the sketch.

Photo was taken at Universal Studios last October and the name of the restaurant the girls are stood in front of is 3 Broomsticks...hence the title!

Chinese Whispers Part 2

This is my LO for the second team.  This time using the January kit from Scrapagogo.  I made the strip across the bottom by punching a strip of paper with a scallop border punch and sticking it onto some plain brown ribbon folded over and the green 'ribbon' placed on top.

The LO I used as my original for this one is another gorgeous layout by Sam Ball.   Thanks again Sam.

Really looking forward to doing the next layouts now.

Chinese Whispers CJ

I have joined a Chinese Whispers CJ on the Scrapagogo Forum.  The idea is we all find a LO to 'lift' and create our own LO which we pass on to the next person to 'lift' and so on.  It is a great idea as unlike a normal CJ we get to keep our LO's and no postage costs.

There are 2 teams of 10 people and I am in both with a monthly posting date so this means for the next 10 months I have to create at least 2 LO's a month!

My team 1 LO is Xmas Ball.  Other than the letters everything was from the December Scrapagogo kit.  I want to use gogo kits for all the LO's and as the kit arrives half way through the month I have started off one using the December kit and the other using the January kit so I can do one of the LO's earlier in the month.

The LO I based this on is this lovely one by Sam Ball one of the Gogo DT girls.  Thanks Sam.

I will post my team 2 LO's tomorrow!

Catching Up

Here are the layouts I did a couple of months ago at the November crop but forgot to post on here.  All the photos are from our trip to Florida last October.
