Retreat LOs

It's been a manic few of weeks since we all met up, but I've finally got round to finishing the LOs I did at the Crumblies' retreat. I always take sketches with me so I can concentrate on chatting as well as scrapping!

This is the October week 2 challenge on UKScrappers - the criteria was to use 3 photos, handmade embellishments, a folk song title and to use city photos.  Didn't have any city photos with me so couldn't do that bit.  Big thanks to Kay for the cotton bud sticks so I could make the little flags, and to Sal for drawing me some clouds :)  I used a sketch from sketchsupport for this one and it's papers from a Total Papercrafts kit from last year (!).

I did another LO using the lush MME Follow Your Heart range and a sketch from the Sketch Savvy blog that I found on pinterest.  The boys are so pleased with their new bikes....

Next is a DLO again based on a sketch from sketchsupport (they have really nice DLO ones!), this time with photos from our trip to The Lost Gardens of Heligan while we were on holiday.  Loved the papers but have to admit I wondered what on earth I would do with the kit having 2 boys who are not in the least bit pink!  But these photos work well with them I think.

I used another DLO sketch from sketchsupport, this time using photos from our trip to Avebury Manor and papers from another Total Papercrafts kit (yes, I have a bit of a backlog!!).  I had only done the basics while away, so I have finished it to fit in with the UKScrappers October week 5 challenge.  The criteria was to scrap something new, no pink or blue, small embellishments and 2 of something.  The boys loved it there as you can touch everything, and sit on the furniture etc - as the journalling says, a new experience for a NT place.

I've still quite a few LOs that I have started but not got very far - need to crack on with those as I also have a backlog of kits.....
