Good day for scrapping, too, though actually, I've been tidying, blog hopping and reading instead. And contemplating making a cake. There's nothing like a proper afternoon tea sometimes, and rainy days seem perfect somehow.
I had a good scrapping day yesterday, and here are the results, all challenges from the CC at The Scrapbooking Haven:
This one had to have a handmade embellishment, ribbons and paint. I made the tree and fence and I put eyelets in the photos and threaded ribbon through. Love how that turned out.
This one had to have Happy in the title. My take was a wee bit different, since my photo focuses on my very not happy DD, lol. I hope you can see the look on her face, she was very moody that day...
She was much happier this day, her usual cheerful self in fact. Had to use masking and/or stamping here. Love how you can alter a plain piece of cs so well with a little ink splashed about.
And finally, me, with paint, string, pp strips and an altered chippy. I have been loving altering chipboard lately, using inks, paint, embossing powder and tiny wee chips of mica sometimes even. So much fun to experiment with it all. The crochet heart is a leftover from the ones I made for my gift tags at Christmas. The creamy splodges on the background are paint used on a stamp. It turned out very indistinctly, but I like it anyway.
All of these pages used up stash. Except for the tree and fence, I didn't actually cut anything for any of them, everything was already made or cut to that size, and in my scraps folders, etc. I am so loving that I have managed some great pages this week with my scraps. Just goes to show we should be delving in there more often!

The Not Always Happy is my favourite. I have two teenagers and boy oh boy, there are days that are Not Happy.
Great take with the word happy.
