52 in 10 Prompt 16 - My Dream Home

A fun LO this week about our dream home.
The journalling reads-
"Whilst DH and I were still working we used to return from our holidays with PHOTO OF A RUN DOWN PROPERTY which we used to pretend to the children we had bought. They never believed us! in 1998 we saw this property in a village in France. This time they really believed we had!!
The following year we returned and found the property sold and renovated! We wished we did own it, but...it was only a dream!

Catch up with Anita's classes for March and April




Week 2 April team challenge

My scrapping came to a halt for a while on 3rd April when my best friend's DH, John died suddenly and tragically 5 days before we all went on holiday.
I managed to do this challenge of DH, myself and dear John on one of our visits to Anglesey the previous year
We had to use blue/red/yellow or black colours, circles and a time (in my life) and the Lo had to have 'white space'

52 in 10 Prompt 15 - Changes to my Home

I scraplifted a whole article from Judith Harrington for this LO. Thank you Judith xx
The changes I showed on the LO was removing our back lawn and having a patio built, why didn't we do this sooner!
Turning over the inner circle shows the changes we had to our bathroom and toilet. Although it was done more than 10years ago I still love the colours and the tiles we chose!
The papers are some of my favourite from Crate papers and it was another kit from Sarah's Cards

52 in 10 Prompt 14 - Treasures

This week we had to take our camera around our home and look at things that remind me of people or events and make me happy
I loved working on this paper. It was one of Sarah's Cards kits

52 in 10 Prompt 13 - No Place Like home

This is my second home with DH, our retirement home when the children had grown up
Under the large photo collage is hidden journalling and small photos of all the rooms


Week 5 team challenge - Naughty and Forty!

Yhis was our team challenge - The Dizzy Dots.
It had to be a hot/bright LO, Follow a sketch and use dots or circles

52 in 10 Prompt 12 - Come Dine with Me

This week we had to think of an imaginary dinner party. Seeing I love the TV programes -Come Dine with Me , and I was a cookery teacher, I chose 4 other cooks for the week, my menus is on the back of the hidden journalling!!

52 in 10 Prompt 11 - Faults, Flaws and Foibl

Open a few cupboards and drawers and you will see the untidy side of me!
