Sketchbook365 April Challenge

My take on this months challenge. I've done a lot of girly ones lately so thought it was about time I did one of the boys. I've had both these photos in my 'to do' pile for many months, good excuse to use both on the same layout. I can still see so much of DS5 in both photos, he doesn't seem to have changed that much, he's still a very sweet, loving boy....I'd rather he didn't grow up, but I suppose I can't change that !
 

Hope you have a go at the challenge details are here http://www.sketchbook365.blogspot.co.uk/ There's a lovely prize for the winner too, so get creating.

CSI 58, I think..

I didn't get this challenge in on time, due to my DH's health, I was otherwise occupied. But it seemed a shame not to add it late as I'd actually got round to completing a layout. The quality of the scan isn't too good, usually due to the depth of the rosettes, but also after having to re-install my laptop after a visiting child got a major virus on it, I then discovered one of my children has lost the photoshop disk, so not very impressed!

Here we go again CSI 50

This weeks colours at CSI , I loved the challenge as usual, I've got a few new dies recently so couldn't wait to try them out on this page, I'm sure you'll see a lot more of these in the future. Hoping you have time to take part in the CSI challenge, if not this week, maybe next?

This weeks offering for CSI

I really loved the colours of this weeks challenge, although the green behind the photos looks more brown than the actual green it is in real life! We are allowed to add less than 10% of an additional colour if we want, so i just added a few pink flowers to match dd3's dress.

CSI 47 - Great Fun

This weeks offering at CSI was a mix of colours, I wasn't sure how I was going to incorporate the blue, but luckily this photo of DD3 throwing some red leaves had plenty of sky in it...I picked up a few new dies this week on-line so have used two here. I don't usually like shopping for scrapping stuff on line, I prefer to visit the shops and have a good old feel of everything, but with DH being so unwell I gave it a go.....

Hope some of you have time to participate in the CSI challenge, its great fun..

CSI 46 This weeks challenge

Loving this weeks challenge of purple, had just the right photos for this challenge, needed to add just a touch to it with the journaling - the hardest part each week. i wish I was so much better at writing stuff up to fit on each page, Sarah Mckenna is an expert and I'm very tempted to get her to write all my journaling.

Oooo Look, I'm mentioned in Scrap365 !
