Consider yourself.......

Tonight was a great night.  Nick won himself three certificates and 2 trophies at the badminton prizegiving this evening.  Runnerup U13 Boy, Runnerup Interclub Team, and Runnerup in the mixed Doubles.  Fair chuffed he was and rightly so. He has had a great badminton year and has really improved this past 6 months. Very very proud of him.

Next installment of the dance scrapbook, I am on such a roll. This was taken at the 2011 Showcase. Abbeys Tap group danced to Consder Yourself from the musical Oliver. Never seen such a pretty bunch of urchins. The inspiration comes from Once Upon A Sketch.  This was the colour pallet you had to use which is perfect for this photos. I just happened to have this Authentique paper sitting around waiting to be used.  I made the rosette thingys from a page from an old music book.

A good friend has given me some great advice about photographing my layouts so I am very hopeful the next lot of photos will be much better and cropped. 




I journalled aroound the rosettes so it becomes part of the embellishments.

 

This is the sketch information and the rules you needed to follow, great way to run a challenge.  Pretty sure I ticked all the boxes.

Hands Up -Howdy Pardner

Well here I am continuing on my scrapbooking binge,  I have to say I am enjoying doing layouts again.  This one is for the Scrappin Patch September sketch challenge.  It always amazes me how people interpret a sketch.  It seems the rules can indeed be sketchy and when I look at some I wonder exactly which sketch it was they used.  Of course this is not a bad thing as there has to be some, or lots of,  creative licence envolved othewise they would all look exactly the same......and how boring would that be. Anyway this is the sketch.

And this is my interpretation.  Yes I am working on Abbeys dance album.  The troupe these are taken from was called Hands Up and they won every competition they enterered for the 2011 season.

The journalling is hidden in the pocket at the top right.

I have used a selection of October Afternoon papers, some from the Sasparilla collection some form Woodland Park and some from Farmhouse.  Embellished with a Websters flower and some burlap bows.
