This twice a year event comes round very quickly. I am posting 3 of the layouts I did and keeping the rest for another photo heavy post using round 2 of the RKG class which I am re-doing-watch this space. The first layout was for the 2nd challenge that we were set which incorporated three circles. I interpreted it my own way and used three vases of flowers instead.</span><br />

It's fun to follow a sketch but change it so it fits in with your own ideas. Im feeling very virtuous because I've managed to use so much stash-even finishing some kits and have done them all within 2 weeks. I actually quite like most of them too. Not sure about the mixed media one tho'. It didn't come out quite as I'd imagined it. Here are my 15 -yes 15 layouts before I start again.</span><br />

It was crop day yesterday and as always I got fired up and produced more when I got home. I'm following an online class at the moment involving using all those pesky die-cuts that we normally end up throwing away. When completed I will put them all on here but in the meantime here is what I did at home in the evening:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The first one was a quality time lunch with my eldest in Manchester. Loverly.</span><br />

My husband says it happens every few years and when he saw my knitting needles out asked me how long I would be knitting for this time? Several scarfs, shawls and cards later I decide today to scrap a photo of son no.1. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Admittedly it felt a bit strange to get the ol' sprays out but it was fun to do so.</span><br />

It looks like they are singing along to Bruce as this is their normal Bruce stance.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw this layout whilst blog surfing and knew I wanted to lift it-the colours cry out to me-adding some die cuts around the photo itself.</span><br />

Here's mine:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I've mentioned before that whenever we go away and wherever we go, we always come across a wedding. Marbella was no exception and here is the wedding car.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The ideal thing about cut files is that you can use all the scraps that you have left over from whole sheets and thats what I did here for this photo of Steven. Yes, another photo of Steven, primarily because Michael won't let me take pictures of him.</span><br />

As a francophile who once lived there and feels strong ties to this beautiful city of light, I knew I had to pay homage in some small way. What else but to create something and write a little bit about my feelings.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I'd had the chipboard tower for about 15 years and never used it despite taking photos of the eiffel tower every timeI'm in Paris. I'd obviously been saving it for some unknown reason that suddenly became clear after the events of last week. I am so used to hearing about daily bombings and terrorist attempts but when it happens in Europe so close to home it is shocking in the true sense of the word. </span><br />

Yes, it was a very productive retreat for all of us. Not wanting to subscribe to a regular kit, I had decided for the retreat, that I would look at various kits and then I bought the items from stores in UK. Much cheaper way of doing things I'm afraid. So first up is a photo of Steven and me on our way from Canterbury to Whitstable on the bus. What an experience.. Over-reliant on my car, I had no idea what to ask for. Back in my public transport days I'd ask for a 25p ticket or 'two stops please'. I now have no idea what to do. These days you can get a return and there appears to be one price. Who knew? Back in the day you could smoke on the upper deck-not these days (thank goodness). I've never known what difference a set of stairs make to one's health. Anyway here we are, a selfie on the bus:</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Steven and Sarah are always silly when they get together. Not sure whether I did this for him or for her- you lose track after a while!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Having said that, Steven can be very silly even when he is not with Sarah. Not sure why he felt the need to balance a teaspoon on his nose but he did. I lifted this from Hey Little Magpie blog as I loved the papers.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At the beginning of the year the Crafty Gals all did a sewing workshop together in Poynton-remember the Paris bags I made? At the retreat one of the girls was about to throw out the remnants of a sticker sheet with lots of sewing words. I couldn't let her do that so used them on this layout. Here we all are showing our bags:</span><br />

It was great-great food, great company, great chat.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I thought I'd better split the products of the weekend into several posts to avoid a picture heavy loooooooong post. So first up are the challenges we were set. This first one had to use a white piece of card, the camera and the two pins as well as a gold polka-dot straw which you can just see tucked behind the photo and the camera. The photo is one of many of Son no.2 and my niece. I have had to scrap them all twice- one for each album.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This next one was also a challenge. We had to use the mannequin die cuts. It seemed very fitting to use them on a layout of Sarah.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6O9leQFLhRoA_57Fs4z5Hg5fzB0KHTM7k_isJJnax5mlLwCr8sb4G_l0j2xldnw04TlIoYVVz_NWbn6ff-38thSxILZvGSS0Gnoz5fOCTIh2ncw9LWwkIuXnnmu39GppOezx1-SgDvW5T/s1600/manequin.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="313" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6O9leQFLhRoA_57Fs4z5Hg5fzB0KHTM7k_isJJnax5mlLwCr8sb4G_l0j2xldnw04TlIoYVVz_NWbn6ff-38thSxILZvGSS0Gnoz5fOCTIh2ncw9LWwkIuXnnmu39GppOezx1-SgDvW5T/s320/manequin.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The third layout was also a challenge. This was a sketch challenge made by some of the girls being blindfolded and sticking various elements to a board making up a sketch. Clever idea but difficult sketch to follow. I rotated it and used a photo of a steel water ball taken at the Art and Architecture Festival at Wirksworth.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Every time I come down the stairs I am greeted by Jemima perched on the arm of the couch looking at me from the lounge. It never ceases to make me smile. Today a visitor told me how lovely it was to catch sight of her and I agree. I saw the kit at Event City and knew straight away that she had to be mine even though I really have no affinity or bond to geese and actually don't like most birds very much at all. She didn't take me long to make-blanket stitch learned in primary school, and I'm so pleased I gave into temptation.</span></div>

It is one of my 'go-to' places when lacking in inspiration. I love her clean style that is so soft and feminine. I could probably lift every layout that she produces. They are so lovely. Do go and visit.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">The photo was taken on the Thursday evening that was preview night of Scrap Version. It seems a long time ago now but it was so exciting, as a first timer, to see the sign.</span><br />

You poor neglected blog. Well you are not alone. My poor neglected craft room is also feeling unloved. Rest assured you are still loved but my mind has been invaded by the dreaded work pressures. However today I decided I would finish this layout inspired by one I saw last April at VS. I have used<a href="http://www.artstamp.fr/tampon-kiss-carabelle-studio,fr,4,SA60125.cfm"> French company Carabelle</a> stamps and Neocolors. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I love this layout as well as my gorgeous niece who, lets face it, could have been the inspiration for the stamp. Non?</span><br />

So I got my first scrapbook out and had a look. Oh dear. I am blushing but if it's good enough for us to see the first pages of other people then we have to be prepared to show our own. Whether or not they are prepared for what is about to be shown is another matter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I could change my pages and start again but I'm not going to. After all, in twenty years time trends will have changed again and I'm sure I will look back and be slightly embarrassed by today's creations.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">So here we go: My very first layout of son no.1 who was just the cutest baby I'd ever seen.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyw05ySIP5H2KvOXgSl9HlvGtjdZuqew6Hxyk0YNCYRLWczLFkj-gZHLuDZn7cTixlHSBObQgqSFFWX7v_1Px64ZLILjfNXLGUnSpHMpLA0TeAbkYvVIyAGW3tNfkoysY3eZiLk6XUiji/s1600/page+1.tif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjLyw05ySIP5H2KvOXgSl9HlvGtjdZuqew6Hxyk0YNCYRLWczLFkj-gZHLuDZn7cTixlHSBObQgqSFFWX7v_1Px64ZLILjfNXLGUnSpHMpLA0TeAbkYvVIyAGW3tNfkoysY3eZiLk6XUiji/s320/page+1.tif" width="319" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Don't you love how we used to cut our photos into shapes and then matt them? We all did it. He seemed so tiny-he was tiny -in our big bed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Then of course, we had the double page layout that was a must. How times have changed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjTtTk2yYp-MoixxrLMWWLs8_U0p8hFFLK_FEf_UvgpN4IgoMh5P8ejW36KU3VdHg-BTBH7z7wVb6J9CEKvX-ud9D8FhS6_o_AKGpIqZ3Ak_4wYZ3Zz_fsjsBk86l29cCV8fsdkXw4nTRF/s1600/DPL.tif" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-size: large;"><img border="0" height="164" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjTtTk2yYp-MoixxrLMWWLs8_U0p8hFFLK_FEf_UvgpN4IgoMh5P8ejW36KU3VdHg-BTBH7z7wVb6J9CEKvX-ud9D8FhS6_o_AKGpIqZ3Ak_4wYZ3Zz_fsjsBk86l29cCV8fsdkXw4nTRF/s320/DPL.tif" width="320" /></span></a></div>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">More shaped photos. Cardstock was the main ingredient. Oh and punches galore. just look at the balloon punch used to echo the balloons that the monkey on his wall was holding. I made the monkey and balloons from felt because there were monkeys climbing the wallpaper of Michael's room. Michael never had a dummy as comfort but he did have a brown monkey (a subject of another scrapbook layout) for years. I say 'did have' but actually the monkey still sits in his bedroom 20+ years later. (How many years?)</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Finally, we have K&Co paper. Oh how I loved this paper, soft, muted lilac with flowers and butterflies. So feminine, so not right for a boy but when he is with his best friend who is a girl.... I think I got away with using it.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>

Here are a few of the photos I took. There are many more that his father took and I'm sure they will be the subject of forthcoming layouts. Meanwhile it has taken me a year to use the frame paper I bought for a class during ATDML's cyber crop 2014. Better late than never.</span><br />

No project in mind but knew I would find something. So, in my quest to use everything up before buying anything else-impossible-I found a picture of me with lips that matched the colour of the tulips and with some inspiration from I know not where now, another layout was born.</span><br />

Celebrate using old stash and old photos with old layout sketches or inspiration. Feels soooooooo good. So, first up are the last photos from Steven's graduation last year-just in time because Michael's are not far behind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">One for me and one for him-gotta use them all up.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">At the time of getting these papers I absolutely loved them-still do but they are not very boyish. As most of my photos are male orientated they will have to do though as it could well be another year before I get some mojo.</span></div>

Never sure which comes first- the chicken or the egg aka the photo or the project. I realised that it's been a while because the only recent one I could find was taken last summer. I guess the camera goes away when the sun is hiding-that would be most of the year then in this wet country. Being the impatient person I am, I didn't want to leave the project without a photograph so had to use this one taken in Leamington. </span><br />
