ATS - Scrapbook Challenge #3

Good morning all. This month at Addicted to Stamps we have our latest Scrapbook Challenge. The lovely Val chose the theme which is "FLOWERS".

What a wonderful theme. Flowers could be inspired by gardens, weddings, birthdays, anniversaries.. the list could go on.

My choice for this challenge was my little sister's wedding. The photos that you see I have converted to black and white. I then chose two of those photos and picked focal points to use Adobe Photoshop Elements to put colour back in.

You will see that my sister's flowers are coloured, the rings on their hands are coloured.

It was a beautiful wedding and it was about time I tried to create a page for it. It's pretty plain but I wanted the red and white of the flowers to be the eye catcher.

I'm very sorry about the quality of the photos. I really struggle with scrapbook pages.

I hope you can join in with our scrapbook challenge this month - we would love to see you there!

ATS - Scrapbook Challenge #2

Yep, it's that time of the month again at Addicted to Stamps where we want all you Scrappers out there to join in.

Our theme was chosen by Victoria this month. She decided on 'HOLIDAYS'.

I got very carried away with my layout and ended up doing a double page. I still have so much to do for this holiday - Hawaii in January 2012.

This was the day that my mum, step-father and I decided to go parasailing. The weather was perfect, the water just a little cool for my tropical liking, and we had a blast.

Because you had to go tandem, Mum got to go a second time when it was my turn. She didn't complain about that! We had sooo much fun and it was an experience I will never forget and just had to capture the day as best I could.

Here is my LO

I love using lots of photos, if possible, when I scrapbook and this is no exception. This day was so huge, it could have been a scrapbook on its own lol!!!

Thanks for looking and I hope to see what you come up with at Addicted to Stamps

Addicted to Stamps - Scrapbook Challenge #1

Hi everyone,

I am very excited to say that the Addicted to Stamps Challenge blog has now launched its first challenge! Head over HERE to see the challenges.

The first scrapbook challenge was chosen by Jacqueline. The theme is "Celebrations - with the addition of bunting".

I chose a photo from my son's 1st birthday. He is 18 in January, so this brought back memories lol. We had an awseome day at my mum's house. My son was very spoilt with presents but at the end of the day, I think the cake was his favourite part of the whole party.

I created the bunting by using my 'Celebrations' cartridge for the Cricut machine. I used the 'Don Juan' cartridge for the letters to spell Happy Birthday.

Here is my LO
