Scrappers challenge.

It all began as a mutual laugh when ten or so of our scrapbooking group went to see Calendar Girls at the Hall for Cornwall back in the summer of this year.  Enthusiasm got the better of most of us and we agreed it would be fun to each take on a month and make a scrapbook layout of ourselves 'in the style of Calendar Girls'

Well, it seems to be going quite well, I plumped for September and my initial idea was to do a '50, not out' layout.  But as time went by I thought about what picture I could take and what September meant to me, and my thoughts always returned to back to school.

Well, as is the case with overdue homeworks for most kids (and adults alike) the work is due in next Saturday and I still have all the work to do. Well, I guess the legwork is done, my brain has been on it a good amount and I have picked out some papers I like... oh, and the photos..well several times (after a few glasses of Tesco's cheapest palatable Rose) I thought about getting my dearest JB to take some photos, but I bottled it....

But then, after our holiday, marginally less pale than usual and after seeing so many people baring their all, minus a bit, ...I got brave...Jordan for her part laughed and said she thought maybe her pals at school would ask her what she'd done at the weekend.. and she'd be searching deserately for an answer to how she thought maybe she'd be scarred for life... but hey, all's fair in love, scrapbooking and photography.

So here's a hint...

.. oh and for the months left layoutless I have a cunning plan.. and so many male volunteers you wouldn't imagine! ... Speed scrapping 'something for the ladies!'

Be funky.. or be square!

Linda just twittered this brilliant link to a site which cartoonises your images..and see what it did to Ross..

and it would seem perfect for some part of the latest Twitter Challenge.. 'Living the Dream!'

At last!

So Jordan got a layout at last.. she is so often behind the camera, and a pic of us together is even harder to find!

This offering for a Scrap a Film Challenge I set on twitter.. just in case anyone who reads this doesn't follow our sister blog at www.justusscrapbooking.blogspot.com

Sorry the pic is so rubbish.. taken indoors, bad light and acetate!

Lucky!

My mind was still on the layout with a Film Title and this photo is one I had planned to scrap sometime for Tayla, Zac's girlfriend...so I was telling her how I thought 'Mr & Mrs Smith' might be a fun title, (like incognito names for when you'e staying in a hotel)...and this picture was taken when we spent a week at Centre Parks earlier this year.

Luckily Tayla said she thinks it's a bit of a cheesy picture.. and hey! isn't that the film where the couple were always trying to kill each other..!!

Back to the drawing board! Looking forward to seeing some of the girls for scrapping on Weds..x

Film Titles.

....it was my turn to set a scrapping Twitter challenge, though I didn't realise when Linda set hers that it would turn into a rotating challenge in itself to set the challenge each month.. though happy to step up to the plate!

Find or take a photo and make the layout title a Film Name.. at first I thought maybe it was too hard and toyed with things like The Remains of the Day and Apocalypse Now, wondering what we could all do....but overnight I have had a few great ideas.. I owe Jordan several layouts and could offer her 'A Grand Day Out' for her birthday skate at Eden last year or maybe Waterworld' for some of her fishing pics? 

We'll see. All I need now is the time allocated...
