Are you ready for another Challenge?????

Beacause the next challenge has gone live at The Studio.
I really enjoyed this challenge, here how it goes:

1. Dust off those eyelet setters! Yep, we want to see what you can do with those eyelets you all bought and never used! If you honestly don’t have any, then you can substitute them with brads.
2. Your title should include a number
3. Complete your journaling in a ‘list’ style

Remember, you don’t have to use all 3 parts of the challenge, but we’d love it if you did!

I chose to do Louis' yearly LO. Every year before we have a birthday, I like to do a LO listing our current likes and dislikes. So here are Louis's.
It's also fun to add things like what they want to be when they are older. It changes every year.
We've gone from Secret Agent Spy to building lego displays at Legoland...I wonder why????

Anyway, head over to The Studio for a nose and some inspiration. Shimelle is this months Guest Designer. I'm a big fan of hers and love all her creations, so Shimelle fans out there, you won't be disappointed.

Have a good day xx

More LO's from the weekend

More LO's from this weekend. There are just so many to show.
Sketchy Thursdays set the 24th challenge. It was a sketch I'd used before, so I happily made the LO below. This it's one of my faves from the weekend.
I uploaded it and then the next day (yesterday) I was reading on the Studio and happened to notice that along with the sketch, we were supposed to bring a water theme to the LO. Doh!!! There I ago again. Always getting things wrong. So I made the LO above. I've decided to use that one at the start of my album. (I'm putting all my LO's from this weekend into 1 album) It seemed rather fitting to have that one first.




I feel really tired again. I stayed up until after midnight to finish my book. It just doesn't seem possible to go to bed before 12 anymore.

More LO's to show tommorrow : )

My faves from this weekend

This weekend has been a blast. The scrapping was great all weekend long but so was the chatting too.It was great chatting with Amanda, Laura and Ronda Saturday night at The Studio and the Cocoa Daisies have just been so silly beyond belief. It's been a really funny weekend. And I've managed 15 LO's in total!!

I'm adding my fave LO's to this thread from the weekend.
Above is my LO I made for my own challenge at The Studio. To scrap with 'Rock' as your inspiration. My LO is pretty self explanatory : )

This one is a Cocoa Daisy challenge. Vee gave us a sketch to work from. I'm really pleased with this one.



And this one makes me feel happy and sad at the same time.
Taken with my little brother and sister. I've made it to sit on a stand on my desk so I can see they everyday now.

So thank you everyone who's joined in this weekend for a great weekend. I've loved scrapping and chatting with you all. Laura, Nicky, Sue M, Anna, Helena, Ronda, Amanda,Claire and Fay.
And everyone else that's played along too.
And despite what Ade thinks....you are all 'real friends'
: )

Lots of love

Aloada Scrap

Happy Sunday,
Just a quickie to say that the cyber crops are going well. I'm managing to get lots of lovely LO's made.
The above LO was a challenge set by Laura to scrap a fave place or view.



This one was set by Tami Morrison, to scrap with kraft and bright colours.
(click piccie to read journaling)

And this one was set by Andrea. Scrap a black and white piccie using 3 pp and some mist sprays.

Come and visit us at The Studio to be in to win prizes and have lots of fun.x

The Fun has Begun

The Cyber crop kicked off at 7pm as planned (3.5hrs ago).
The first challenge was to go vintage. I'd tried to be so organised for this crop by printing off loads of different photos. Different ages, sizes, colours and the first thing I need to do is print off a photo : ) Decided to go truely vintage back to 1949 infact. My grandparents wedding.



And at 9pm the next challenge was launched...scallops and lots of them.


So far so good : )
I wish the same could be said for the weather. It's blowing a right gale out there and really bucketing it down. The forecast isn't much better for tomorrow either and we will be here
Paultons Park. Oh why oh why??? I don't want to go in the pouring rain and I don't want to visit santa and eat mince pies in November either : (

On Your Marks...

Getting ready for the start of the charity cyber crop tonight at The Studio. It starts at 7pm UK time and sees a new challenge from a different designer or celebrity scrapper every 2 hrs right through until 7pm Sunday evening.

I scrapped my photos from The Royal Albert Hall yesterday. I used a sketch from the Creative Scrappers blog.
Elina made their DT recently, so thought I'd show some support : )



Have a fabby weekend and TFL xx

Royal Albert Hall Video

After posting just a little while ago this morning, I thought I'd add this little video that I filmed on my camera. I've never filmed with it before and didn't even realise that's what I was doing to start with, so it's out of focus and pretty crap. But thought my Mum and Dad would appreciate it.
Hi Mum and Dad xxx

The Royal Albert Hall

Yes, my baby is actually admidst that little lot : )
This is what we could see when we got to our seats last night. Well almost, the photo was taken during the performance. When we arrived just about all 775 children were waving to their parents. It was very sweet. My friend who we went with had her 7 yr old son with her and he wanted to see his big brother who was singing too. She said 'find Jack and I'll give you £10'.
He did actually find Jack (and got the £10) Should've see the expression on my friend's face : )
Hollie is on the left side.

Third down row from the top, from the right she's ninth in. She was so excited when she spotted us. We make bunny ears with our hands on our heads when we wave to each other, so I was so chuffed when she started doing this. I knew she was actually seeing us.
The performance was amazing. The kids were fantastic. A great evening : )


However 50mins before I had to collect Louis from school before then heading off to London, Amanda set a quick challenge over at The Studio.
Make a LO using only black and white with one other colour.
I was actually scrapping at the time, so decided to give it a go quickly before heading out. I'm sure I work better under pressure. I instantly thought black and white photo, the rest will happen. I had this photo, taken back in 2002. I just couldn't find the inspiration to scrap it. And then this happened. I'm quite pleased with it.
I love that photo with my baby Louis : )

The cyber charity crop starts tomorrow night 7pm UK time at The Studio.
Please come and take a nose, the inspiration will be jaw dropping, the prizes to die for, it will be loads of fun and for a great cause too. So if you haven't stopped by, please do.

I think it's latte time xx

Today I .....

.....have finished this LO.
It's the first photo I've scrapped of Dad since he left on 1st Nov. I love how is is with the kids. They all love him so much. He's just so silly and loves spongebob. An instant winner with them : )

I've used the recent Scarlet lime kit and the latest sketch from Sketchy Thursdays.
If you haven't visited, go take a look.

Today is the day that Hollie performs with her school at The Royal Albert Hall. In fact, she may well be there now. The school coach was collecting them at 12.30. We are leaving at 4.30, still need to decide what to wear.
She was one very excited bunny this morning : )

A Brand New Week

After a sad week last week and a busy weekend it feels good to start a new week. No huge plans except for going to watch Hollie perform with the school choir at The Royal Albert Hall on Wednesday.

I forgot all about the above LO I made last month. Another scrap lift contest at Cocoa Daisy.
I love doing these speedy LO's. I say I don't like working under pressure, but I often produce my fave LO's when I do.
A bit of spray misting and some photos from a fun afternoon at Richmond Park back in August. Seems like such a long time ago now.

Have a Happy Monday xx
