Teacher's Bothy Trip - The Studio Challenge - Recipe

Hi there 

It's time for me to another chance to take part in another challenge. This time I used a challenge from The Studio Challenges 

Recipe Challenge

Ingredients: 3 photos 2 stripes of Washi tape Sequins Paint Hearts
Method: First take 3 photos, add 2 stripes of washi tape, mix it up with a spoon of sequins, let it cook slowly with some paint and serve it with a sprinkling of hearts.

This is what I made of it!

The photos relate to a cycle trip we undertook in May/June 2018.  This involved getting a ferry (in reality a wee boat for people and bikes) from the Isle of Mull to the Isle of Ulva.  

We then cycled through the Isle of Ulva to get to the Isle of Gometra which is connected via a wee metal bridge (which sometimes gets swept away, lol) 

The whole journey from arriving on the Isle of Ulva to getting to the Teachers Bothy on the Isle of Gometra was only about 8 miles.  However the track we rode on was very uneven, very muddy and very challenging.

As you can see from the photos we enjoyed some beautiful scenery along the way though which made it worth while.

The Isle of Gometra has only a few permanent inhabitants and while it is only approx 1.64 sq mile in size you're unlikely to see a soul while you're there.  We thoroughly enjoyed the isolation.

For this layout I used:

Ingredients: 3 photos - of our island hopping trip across Ulva and Gometra 2 stripes of Washi tape - Paperchase Sequins - Random Paint - Liquid Pearls – Ruby Red Hearts -
American Crafts – Foam Hearts/Random chipboard heart

I also used the following products:

Spokes/Wheels paper – Unknown

Flower brad – Unknown

Imagination Project – Anyone, anyone? – Snooty Blue

Hobbycraft – Watercolour Dreams Paper – Orange

American Crafts – Thickers – Feliz

Pebbles Layered Embellishments  - School (altered)

Random white butterfly

I hope you enjoyed my layout.

Thanks

Isabelle's First Day

Isabelle's First Day Layout

I used a sketch challenge from Stuck Sketches to put together the layout and a colour challenge from Colour Stories Inspiration. (see below)

This is the very first layout I have done of my brand new grandaughter Isabelle. I hope you'll all agree she is gorgeous (I know I'm biased of course) Isabelle weighed in at a whopping 9lb 8oz, so is truly a 'bouncing baby'. When my grandson was born I did a 'Jacob's first day' layout so it was only fitting I did the same for Isabelle.

This is the sketch that inspired the layout

 

Journalling on the back of the birth details tag reads:

Look at this Craftmanship - 10 perfect fingers, 10 perfect toes, beautiful eyes and a sweet little nose, cute as a button and as sweet as can be = one brand new girl in our family.

Hope you had fun viewing my layout.

I havnt been scrapping much of late, mainly down to the fact that I started a new job a few months back and I have been working totally different hours and just seem to have gotten out of my normal rhythmn.

I bought some new acrylic stamps from my local craft store (Papercuts Ltd) which were Stampendous stamps which have individual petals so you can build different flowers and the Paisley stamps by Smoochie Manoochie(Tracey Grundy) I have 3 sets so far and I love them.

I didnt use a sketch for this layout but just quickly put it together and went with what felt right.
