Special Friends...

The prompt over at Dolly's this week is all about that Special Friend in your life. To be honest I have 3 very very special friends and I just wouldn't be able to pick between them as they all mean the world to me!!
One I have known for many many years. She was the dreaded new girl at school one year and the teacher picked me to 'be her friend'!! (That's right, in our school, if you were the new kid, you were assigned your first friend!!!) Needless to say, these friendships rarely lasted. But ours did!! Everyone did (and still does) think we are sisters as we are so alike its scary!! Approximately 22 years later, after many many dramas and highs and lows, she is still my very very best friend:

I met my other two 'sisters' (for an only child, I have a lot of sisters!!!!) what seems like yesterday (but what is actually - and scarily - about 12 years ago!!! WHERE does time go to!!!??!!
We have literally been through hell together and they are the people I know I can turn to in times of utter despair as well as times of joy. No one knows me like they do (poor them!!) and I couldn't live without them in my life!

I have taken on so many projects this year that I am starting to slip abit. Rather than letting anything go and stopping one, I have decided to re-organise how I do them. I have decided to blog the Dolly prompts rather than completing pages. I would rather do this than not be involved as its a great project and alot of work has been put into it, thanks Dolly!

52 in 10 Week 5

This weeks prompt over at Dolly's is all about families. My immediate family is really quite small. I have a partner and we have a furry baby but no children. I feel all I scrap about at the moment is me, Kei and Saffy, so I wanted to focus outside of our family. I am an only child so have no siblings, nieces, nephews etc. Then I remembered that a while ago I posted a photo of my mom as a child and tagged it as a "I will scrapbook this" post. So here is the page:

I decided to have a play with the Liberty Cottage Lithium template I was lucky enough to win last week. I can't decided whether I like this page or not! It is really different to my normal choice of colours and style that I feel quite uncomfortable looking at it!! I think I will scrap another page that is more 'me' using this fab template so I do it justice!!
The digi elements were from a free kit called "Chocolate Chips". Unfortunately I downloaded it AGES ago before I knew about digi etiquette so I can't refer you to its location on the web or its creator. Sorry :0(

52 in 10 Week 4

This weeks prompt from Dolly over at Dolly's Dreamings was to scrap about music. I decided to focus on my friend's covers band. They have asked me to be involved in managing the band this year which is a very exciting (if somewhat baffling!!) project.
Here is my page using Shimelle's 'Welcome' template and MRD kit 'Playtime'. Both available to buy from Two Peas.

10 things to do in 2010

I had a sneaky afternoon off work today and what better way to spend it than to scrap scrap scrap to my heart's content!!

I completed the below page for prompt 2 of Scrap Weekly. I'm really happy with it, although since snapping the photos I have added 5 small blue jewels to the top right corner for a bit of added bling.

Although I did this page for SW, it also fits rather nicely in with prompt two of 52 in10. I had planned to do this as a digi project so will still complete a digi page this week (although as I am only just learning that, I am happy to include this page incase things don't got to plan!)

Here is the completed page (minus the extra bling):
