At last....

I have had some play time. I decided to do two challenges. First of all number 12 of Niki's 52 layouts using MME Indie Chic and two photos from long ago featuring 2 generations of cousins with my grandparents taking centre stage in the bottom of the 2 photos.The second layout is something I've been wanting to try for a long time now and the My Creative Sketches challenge gave me the opportunity to do this. I've been inspired by Emilie Chamel whose workshops I'm lucky enough to be going to with my pal-soooo looking forward to being shown how to do this properly. The idea is a stamp only layout and I have used Kaisercraft stamps for the blocks from Merly Impressions. Although grungy and black I wanted to keep it fairly simple with no embellishments. Love this photo of Michael on his 21st.

    Love that grungy look! Such a contrast with the equally striking softness of your lemony top page ...

    Brilliant layouts, especially the Emillie inspired design. Sounds like it'll be an inspirational workshop. Be good to see your layouts when you return :) Px
