Dashing in (as usual!) to share a layout I have up on the Like Forever Blog today.</div>
<div align="center">
Nicola, the owner of this fabulous kit club runs challenges on Sundays and this weeks one that I have created for is to add a household item to your page, PL or planner.<br />
All the stash used on this page came from the Like Forever Kit 'Live Out Loud'.<br />
<br /></div>

I really wanted to use the circle wood veneer embellishment and decided to cut it in half for a different effect. I also painted it with blue acrylic paint to match in with the colours in the papers. Once it was all dry I gathered my photo, kit and my two household items together and had a play!<br />
The photo is of one of our cats enjoying the Spring sunshine. I’m lucky that he’s a poser and quite happy to have a camera pointed at him, unlike our other two cats!<br />

I backed some of the apertures with paper and the one’s I left empty, I placed embellishments inside instead. This one has a little card from the Elle’s Studio Bit and Pieces pack, some clear sequins and a cute star made from some paper scraps.</div>

I used the wooden ampersand from the Fancy Free Wood Veneer pack as part of my title and the word ‘relax’ was made from the beautiful glitter Thickers in the kit. I added some more little stars to accompany the title.</div>

This photo shows the safety pin that I used as one of my household items. It is very small so it was a bit tricky to get through the die cut (helps if the die cut is not glued to the page first!).</div>

Using a paper straw as one of my household items was my first thought when given this challenge. I have a few different colours of straws in my stash (I mean in my house!) so I picked the colour that matched the papers. As the photo was partly on the wooden circle and therefore raised from the page I used the straw to support the other edge of the photo as well as an embellishment. The length of twine is simply threaded through the straw and tied off into a bow.</div>

Who likes to create with mood boards?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They can be a bit daunting sometimes especially if you have never worked with them before as was the case with my friend Helen.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I set my friendly challenge for last month I created a mood board that I tried to make user friendly for Helen so as not to intimidate her too much. But I needn't have worried she did a grand job of interpreting it.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Also this month Helen and I have been joined by the lovely <a href="http://w2spot.blogspot.co.uk/2016/05/being-bold.html">Wendy</a>, who lives on the other side of the Atlantic Ocean but loves a scrappy challenge too!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Let's get this reveal rolling then....</div>

I went with the colour selection, the chevron (not forgetting the cat!) and a title based around the quote.</div>

Popping in to share my layout created for <a href="http://thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a> Diamonds Challenge which started today. Show diamonds on your page any way, any how. </div>

I decided to go with a quote for my title with the word 'diamond' in it and to use some diamond rub-on's.</div>

I'm a tad late in posting the latest reveal over at <a href="http://www.thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges </a>which has a Spring inspired theme - scrap with flowers!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As Spring is in the air (in the UK anyway!) we would like to see flowers on your pages. Lots, little or somewhere in between!</div>

For my layout I chose to scrap about my sweet peas. As my plant is a perennial variety I have them bloom year after year in beautiful pink hues.</div>

I knew I had to scrap this photo of the two hero's in my life my husband and my father. They were enjoying a silly moment together on Christmas Day. Unfortunately my father passed away suddenly last month so scrapping this photo meant a lot to me.</div>

I belong to a kit club (Like Forever) and there is a lot of page stitching going on lately to inspire. So when my dear friend Helen found a stitching template and asked if I would like to use it on a challenge I jumped at the chance!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The template is concentric hexagons, which is a shape that never fails to look great on a scrapbook page!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Here is the page I created for this challenge and features three year old me and my brother dancing with one of my aunts. As I was using papers from my LFE Smitten kit I chose threads that complimented the papers. </div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I tried to think outside the box when it came to the design of my stitched hexagons and although the sweep of them across the page is not so inspiring I created patterns inside them with each colour having it's own pattern.</div>
<br />

Hi scrappy peeps!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I am rushing around today flitting from one job to another and not really achieving much! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But as I was on the computer (checking my overdue library charges!) I thought I would share a few Christmas layouts I finished last week.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
They were all created using the 'Wish List' kit from Like Forever Kit Club.</div>

Big Hello to you all and sorry I have been MIA lately, I hope to get back in the saddle again with my blog and scrapbooking!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I did have a weekend crop this week and after a slow start I managed to get back into the swing of scraping and had a relaxing time with my crafty friends.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have the new reveal at <a href="http://www.thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a> to share with you today and I was humbled when Anna decided to make a sketch based on my Hopes and Dreams layout from January's challenge (<a href="http://scrapbooking-fortheloveofpaper.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/hello-2016.html">check it out Here)</a> </div>

I decided to change it from my original layout by turning it and adding some colour!!!!</div>

I'm a tad late posting my DT layout for <a href="http://www.thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a>, but hey, better late than never!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This weeks challenge is TEXTURE!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We would love to see your textured up pages, so why not play along!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is my take on the challenge.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1P2hNXCKO03R7vOHk6ifZRmJMc1B1_ImIQ3lJm8Z3hxF1jpTb20yLQ4WL0WFdux-w5sTvq7pODANbIReBkX7YEY6kZzIJDaL3X54ZsDbQMu8fBtytUfzoYNrn3QW7p8BbJ1Q35DjUJCY/s1600/IMG_6364.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhd1P2hNXCKO03R7vOHk6ifZRmJMc1B1_ImIQ3lJm8Z3hxF1jpTb20yLQ4WL0WFdux-w5sTvq7pODANbIReBkX7YEY6kZzIJDaL3X54ZsDbQMu8fBtytUfzoYNrn3QW7p8BbJ1Q35DjUJCY/s400/IMG_6364.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I started with my background idea of using white on white, the shadows creating a textured look. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I simply punched lots of squares, cut them in half and then adhered them in rows filling the whole 12x12 background.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvw1cSHvoc2ilWZj0icgx6vpN8TzmUuQlX_gkV_bcvv6zrR-Lwwbd2Ggd9Vj3vFWhLrIZ_S33r6vR-3I_07_2FDePE7rhSy5Dc5ew974Q662Wk16s7uFdIFaP_ghmcfYu1lNt1qMrliDQ/s1600/IMG_6365.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEimvw1cSHvoc2ilWZj0icgx6vpN8TzmUuQlX_gkV_bcvv6zrR-Lwwbd2Ggd9Vj3vFWhLrIZ_S33r6vR-3I_07_2FDePE7rhSy5Dc5ew974Q662Wk16s7uFdIFaP_ghmcfYu1lNt1qMrliDQ/s400/IMG_6365.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Although this wooden XOXO is texture by itself, I thought it would look quite effective with glitter on it too!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkffAMtaJcacLlTqDv5UTKmF5wDdyWb9Uh7vzs99pR2l0fmTFVIO8QJ9Bm6qMP6GaXAJXhz1GPFNRGwTwWx5YcrJqfI5Qx9tsEZ730v3FmxlL5q7ID8Vb-qiHyrj0L4HuzjOJReSZS0TxM/s1600/IMG_6366.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkffAMtaJcacLlTqDv5UTKmF5wDdyWb9Uh7vzs99pR2l0fmTFVIO8QJ9Bm6qMP6GaXAJXhz1GPFNRGwTwWx5YcrJqfI5Qx9tsEZ730v3FmxlL5q7ID8Vb-qiHyrj0L4HuzjOJReSZS0TxM/s400/IMG_6366.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also added glitter on the heart tag in the corner of the photo.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOoP-9BPgWcXyZZOcLnq_Ckrz8k4NXsTObMCwszsE8QvJXB4mr0URZEnfnFdoinbwEqh3SI1yJ_xX5rfWAgDAVu_FIbazJVhSqo8pRvc4zpc4pB1bUnlhg6DRlpNb9CNR6pJ9oOWpqZzVO/s1600/IMG_6367.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiOoP-9BPgWcXyZZOcLnq_Ckrz8k4NXsTObMCwszsE8QvJXB4mr0URZEnfnFdoinbwEqh3SI1yJ_xX5rfWAgDAVu_FIbazJVhSqo8pRvc4zpc4pB1bUnlhg6DRlpNb9CNR6pJ9oOWpqZzVO/s400/IMG_6367.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Of course you can't have texture without stitching so I created random lines of coloured stitching adding a paper heart to some of them.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The current challenge over at <a href="http://scrap-challenge-yourself.blogspot.co.uk/">Challenge YOUrself </a>is Anything Goes!<br />
I liked that I could use some of an older <a href="http://www.likeforever.co.uk/shop/4588284101/KITS">Like Forever</a> kit that went so well with my photos and there are no restrictions on colour or the theme.</div>

As the point of Challenge YOURself is to have YOU in the photo/s here I am taking photo's on a mountain top in France (summer of 2014). The papers in the kit I used were perfect for my photo's and the glitter thickers have captured my heart!</div>

<a href="http://www.thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a> has three challenges this month and today is the reveal of the second one - patterned paper background.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

I had been hoarding this pretty butterfly paper not wanting to cut into it, so when the patterned paper background challenge was decided I thought it was the perfect opportunity to not cut into it but use it as a complete sheet for a layout.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The photo shows my middle daughter wearing some stripey tights that went with a witch dress-up outfit but she had paired them with a girly skirt and top that in no way went together! She thought it was funny though and even let me snap a photo!</div>

I made a photo mat using more paper from the same range and some vellum. I also hand stitched around the mat to help separate it from the background and add some texture. I created the title with my Silhouette.</div>

I have been managing to sneak some scrapbooking in this month and as there are plenty of great challenge blogs, inspiration has been plentiful.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today I am sharing a page I created with the challenge over at <a href="http://scrap-the-girls.blogspot.co.uk/">Scrap The Girls</a>. It is a free for all but still has to be for the girls only. There is also a sketch option for the sketch fans but I had way too many photo's to use so I went with the easy option!</div>

Today I am sharing another layout with you and this time it is for the first ever challenge over at <a href="http://morethanwordschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/">More Than Words Challenge blog</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The challenge is to create a layout (or canvas, journal etc.) with the prompt 'Personality & Selfie'.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

Here is my layout starring my eldest daughter (on the left) and her friend. Luckily for each other they both love taking selfie's and that's where the idea for the personality part of the challenge came from.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I'm lucky that my daughter doesn't mind me having the selfie's from her phone so I get to scrap the gorgeous photo's!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is my take on the sketch and as you can see I started with the basic design and then went off track a bit but that's what happens when you have elements you want to use that don't quite fit the sketch design. But hopefully you can see some of the sketch in my layout somewhere!</div>

The layout was created using the latest <a href="http://www.likeforever.co.uk/shop/4588284101/KITS">Like Forever Kit</a> and when I received it it was wrapped in the gorgeous blue tissue paper. Waste not I thought and backed this 'Happy' title cut with it to make the word stand out a little more.</div>

As Helen has multiple coloured cats in her photo she was able to colour her wooden cats a variety of shades. </div>

I've missed you all over the festive period! </div>

As I craft in my dining area my stash had to be put away to make room for the Christmas tree and so in order to do any scrapbooking I would have to rummage around upstairs to find what I needed from my hastily rehoused boxes!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Luckily for me I had my new kit from <a href="http://www.likeforever.co.uk/shop/4588284101/KITS">Like Forever kit club</a> still in it's box and easily accessible so I was able to grab it and create a page for <a href="http://www.thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a> first reveal of 2016!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #f4cccc; font-size: large;">Hope and Dreams for 2016 is the theme this time!</span></div>

The last couple of month's of 2015 were very stressful for me and lots of things were happening that are also affecting the New Year. So for my layout I chose to scrap a photo of our new calendar to denote the coming year and hidden behind the photo is my journaling about what I hope the new year will bring.</div>

Christmas will soon be upon us and hopefully you are coping with the stressful run up to the big day!</div>

You could always take a break from the lists and shopping to play along with us at <a href="http://thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges. </a>We have a challenge all about 'gifts and giving'!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Perhaps a photo from the 2014 Christmas day unwrapping frenzy or maybe there is a plethora of prezzies under the tree already this year! Why not scrap about your love/hate relationship with wrapping! As long as it has a gift/giving theme we would love to see your page linked up to our challenge at <a href="http://thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a>.</div>

Here is my take on the sketch and you will have to excuse the photo quality as the UK has been under a permanent grey cloud these past few days.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I have used my Like Forever 'Wish List Kit' which is becoming one of my favourites.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The background is a vellum sheet with glitter stars and I didn't want to cut into it at all and this sketch allowed lots of white space to show it off.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Punched circles and fussy cut poinsettias make up the embellishments clusters in the corners. </div>

The 'Shine Bright' title was a sticker from last months LFE kit but fitted perfectly with the theme for this page.</div>

Hello December!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No matter how organised I try to be in November the lead up to Christmas is always frantic and need I say a little stressful! .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
In the meantime here is a layout I created last month and haven't had time to share.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeNNbqwUFswtUbpX_e1V68Z6wYENpi4LzpElHlH0-5GuzJMkZYj62OsIUJOujErlonxSbh5g_2RLMeoG5wKDm25T_OKTr2WLnJtxIaQsKhMYfVoOPaFprx1_iYQRsKZqE6MecBcrA-QWPz/s1600/009+%25282%2529.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="398" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeNNbqwUFswtUbpX_e1V68Z6wYENpi4LzpElHlH0-5GuzJMkZYj62OsIUJOujErlonxSbh5g_2RLMeoG5wKDm25T_OKTr2WLnJtxIaQsKhMYfVoOPaFprx1_iYQRsKZqE6MecBcrA-QWPz/s400/009+%25282%2529.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We have an open fire and collect wind fall from the wood at the back of our garden. These photo's show hubby and me working together cutting and stacking the branches to take home in our wheel barrow! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Our family have a fun saying, 'Will It Burn', whenever we see a downed tree, stack of logs or even a skip with wood in it, so I made that the title of my page.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I know it's wintry but any excuse to fussy cut a flower! </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The wood effect paper was just perfect for the theme and a few punched pieces from the paper stack to make my embellishment cluster.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hopefully I will be back soon with another layout to share and news on our puppy adoption.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Until then, happy Christmas shopping.</div>

The Christmas rush will soon be on us and my craft stash will be packed away to make way for THE TREE! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Until then I will continue to share pages when I get the chance.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Today's layout was created using one of the Like Forever kits from a couple of month's ago.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

The photo is of my eldest daughter with her 'ears on' as I call it when she is plugged into the computer. She always makes funny faces when you disturb her from her game so I decided a photo had to be taken and she didn't disappoint! </div>

I have just had a wonderful weekend, meeting up with family at a 70th Birthday party down near Aldershot. Lots of catching up, chatting and laughs with my lovely aunts, uncles and cousins. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Always good to get together for a celebration of any kind and makes you wonder why we had left it so long! </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Earlier today <a href="http://thestudiochallenges.blogspot.co.uk/">The Studio Challenges</a> revealed their latest challenge and this time it was a image inspiration chosen by yours truly!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1f/35/5b/1f355b18063eb41c087d41a7f0ad400d.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/1f/35/5b/1f355b18063eb41c087d41a7f0ad400d.jpg" width="281" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved the idea of creating a layout based on this photo that I found in Pinterest. The triangle background is striking and I loved that you can see the word 'Happy' in the mirror.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is the layout I created using the image.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My daughter had some tissue paper with red triangles on so I snagged a little piece to layer with my papers.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZjQpwEhc1RG7vAAZN9JanOjZVPFKq3bkt0F2_a6m3d182dohyx2_V4xdJvJg8RBsNwgIgXO0jntA2HqFusKnTXecD_aKktGzeY7InIDCSOyblRdJs6tYsugPzF2bh0YIBG3UiisfqwQM/s1600/IMG_6132.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-ZjQpwEhc1RG7vAAZN9JanOjZVPFKq3bkt0F2_a6m3d182dohyx2_V4xdJvJg8RBsNwgIgXO0jntA2HqFusKnTXecD_aKktGzeY7InIDCSOyblRdJs6tYsugPzF2bh0YIBG3UiisfqwQM/s400/IMG_6132.JPG" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I made sure the word 'Happy' was in my title and used a frame with 'Little Moments' inside as part of it too.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Tzse5U8B8dL0d8VX3-M1l4FBVVCv5GTE7ZwEc3etBlylhGLuUgjrZCp2AzmUppkbwKPDMXR7J3a9irX-84pmkAjaEHFYNsb_PgANa_Gt3iwbnhntjVJKI2IXxhN92tW6T3W4kaI0fSNO/s1600/IMG_6133.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6Tzse5U8B8dL0d8VX3-M1l4FBVVCv5GTE7ZwEc3etBlylhGLuUgjrZCp2AzmUppkbwKPDMXR7J3a9irX-84pmkAjaEHFYNsb_PgANa_Gt3iwbnhntjVJKI2IXxhN92tW6T3W4kaI0fSNO/s400/IMG_6133.JPG" width="300" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
To incorporate the wood from the image I used some of the wood papers from Maggie Holmes 'Shine' collection.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
