Old Skool Stash

I joined in with Kate's Old Skool Stash Blog Hop again this month. I used some papers that were in a quick kit that I bought ages ago. I haven't used them as, frankly, I think they are very boring compared to the pretty papers you can buy today. They are also very very thin and didn't feel very nice.
HOWEVER, a lovely photo, a few very old embellishments and an open mind can work wonders!! Here is my page:

I hope you like it! Pop over to Furry Pig's Blog to see the next page in the hop.

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(

Old Skool Stash Layout

As part of the Liberty Cottage 'Old Skool Stash' challenge I have created the following layout.

The purple backing paper is my Old Skool stash. It was part of the very first scrapping stash I bought!! I don't know why I haven't used it before as I really do like the paper! I love the butterfly embellishment too. It came from the inside of a Lush bath bomb!!!!

 Now I've used it I feel a little blue, feeling that I maybe could have done a little more to show off such beautiful paper. Ah well, I guess thats an excuse to go out and buy more stash ;0)
