F is for Friends & Fridges

I'm a bit behind on a few creative challenges so I spent some time catching up yesterday. Firstly the F pages for the girls' A-Z journals on Friends. I did the E pages at the beginning of the month, but found them a bit uninspiring so decided not to upload them, they're on their eating habits.
The stamp on the tag is from my new Scarlet Lime kits- and oh my there is loads and loads in it I feel slightly overwhelmed by it.

The second challenge I caught up on was Overlooked which was on my Fridge and shopping habits. I've done 3 LOs for this now and I'm going to start constructing it into a minibook soon.

My two new classes started this week - firstly 'No Place Like Home' (which I plan to use all my Scarlet Lime kit on). There have been 5 daily prompts this week, but as the girls are on their Easter holidays at the moment, I'm saving them to work on when they go back to school. The theme this week has been Hometowns or places where you feel at home and includes a couple of LOs and 2 minibooks.

The second class is Painting with Light, which doesn't actually start until 4th April but we've had homework to upload to the forum so that CJ can get a feel for our work. This included a self-portrait and for a laugh I'll post it here. It was my first time using the self timer and a tripod and so the result is slightly out of focus.

Overlooked Subject 2 - Collections

EDIT - UPDATE 28/3 TO ADD LO HERE FOR THIS PHOTO AS I'VE REALISED I'VE NOT POSTED IT YET

So this weeks subject is to take a photo of something I collect, whether purposefully or accidentially. I decided on my handbags, which is an accumulation, rather than a purposeful collection. Some were bought, some freebies from magazines and some handmade.

Just have to wait for the journaling prompt next week now.

Overlooked Challenge 1

So, back at the beginning of Jan I signed up for this challenge. Subject 1 was to take a photo of your favourite mug. Then last week I was given some journaling prompts. Then this week I had to create a LO that pulled the photo and journaling together. Here it is!


I split all the journaling up (written from the prompts given) into different sections and have used MM Funky Vintage Ruby paper and enbellishments. The page is a 7x10, half photo, half cardstock which I'm going to make into a book.

The journaling reads: Routine - I have to have a cup of tea 1st thing when I get up. I'm not really capable of anything before that. Then I'm ready to get on with the morning routine - making lunches, breakfast, getting the girls ready for school.

Another New Challenge

Have just come across another new challenge on UKS and have decided to play. It's another prompt based challenge, week 1 take a photo, week 2 do some journaling, week 3 make a LO. So should be quite slow paced! Have a look at the Overlooked blog for more info.

This weeks challenge was to take a picture of your favourite tea cup. Well that was easy as I had already done that for the Album in a Day workshop.
