Scrapbook Remix.

I am getting so much out of this class, not to mention actually using up some stash. I have been sighing over the old papers that just sit there and so I have set some goals to get it on pages. Shimelle's classes give me so much inspiration to just get on and do it, rather than procrastinating, being online looking at what everyone else is doing.

These pages are a bit different than my normal go to. Usually I get some white 12x12 and stick my favourite pics, papers and embellies to it, but Shimelle is offering us a real chance to explore our individual style and what we like to make scrapping easier for ourselves. So I have been working away at the prompts and workshops, watching the fab videos and making a few 'different' pages.

This was the first (excuse the shadow of the easel through the base paper) following a sketch and for me using up stash, I even used the last of that lovely Crate Random paper. You can just see Louis stretching to reach his cars on the table when he was just a little dot.

Another sketch and a suggestion to use the b-sides and see whether we like that, I did. Aww Ducky Duck, you were fun.

I actually, actively took a photo of me after getting dolled up for the wedding I attended in the summer. Gawd, I have got to shift some weight. We looked at using muted pastels here. It was a bit cleaner until I shook the silver shimmer mist, the top came off, all over the wall, curtains, layout, photo, I have a giant grey freckle on my neck in the photo now.  

One of Louis and his Dad, I didn't over think this one and I am half happy with it. I had a disaster with the thickers. I thought it would be good to use some green beads up but it didn't work out, ho hum. Looking at it now, it needs much more layers I think.

This last one is not my usual thing at all, it made me feel a bit freaky, which is freaky, feeling freaky about scrapbooking.

I also did it as a double to use up the three not so good photos I had left over from another layout. They are made at different times and with different stash but seem to be ok to sit together in an album. The photo is awful, it was a late night job to upload for the monthly challenge at UKS I think :)

So I don't love, love, love the layouts but I am definitely loving the class, I am finding out more about what I like, don't like, will try again etc and i'm using up stash.
