I got a bit side tracked this month with life so have included some of the double page layouts from my Double Take class towards my TWELVE count, who said there was anything wrong with double dipping? hehe
 | |
| First off though I want to share a 'layout' I created in reply to a challenge by Jenni Bowlin on the Autumn Escape facebook page, even if you aren't attending the Autumn Escape or Spring Escape retreats you can join in with this challenge by Liking their page and submitting your layout before 4 July, so you better get creating! I was inspired by Jenni Bowlin's layout with the grid background and the placement of embellishments (in my case embellishments and words). I used a large print scrabble board as my background and the wooden letter tiles to spell out our names. I have added a 5x7 photo of us on the mini clipboard. Whilst this photo was taken in 2010 I am hoping to get a new family photo soon to pop in. The photo is totally removable and the Jenni Bowlin chipboard numbers are glue on with repositionable glue so they can be swapped out as necessary. I love this new 'art' for our home. |

| Places - layout created in May for the Double Take class - I love this layout where I used some older photos and added some crochet flowers that I made myself. I quite like my tree element too =) |
 |
| Fun - another double take class layout - I like the flow of the smaller photos across the pages to the large focal photo. |
 |
| Holidays - no this is not a holiday layout but I am including celebration layouts in with this theme as I have a few birthdays to get scrapped. You have seen this layout before which is another one from the Double Take class. |
The following layouts have all been created in June, and with the school hols now in session I hope to get 12 layouts (plus June's Photo I Love) layout created on time, so no more double dipping...
 |
| Family Stories - this topic is more about TJ's caring personality and his love for his Nan. Using my category drawers (physical and digital) I found a lot of photos for my layout. |
 |
| Me - this is one for my album and have to add some journalling. I am so happy to have a good friend with equally good taste in clothes (mind you our husbands might disagree about those floral capris!!) |
 |
| Personality - a very quick and easy layout design with a large faux envelope. |
 |
| Things - the Webb Ellis cup came to school/work and even though I only watched the last game of the Rugby World Cup I felt very proud to be a Kiwi both on the night of the final and again at the viewing at school. (journalling on the back includes the RWC info from Wikipedia) I am going to make a companion layout to include more personal journalling about how I watched the game alone whilst munching on chip n dip, jaffas and coke and how excited I got even though I don't know the rules of the game etc LOL. |
 |
| Inspiration - this super easy layout was inspired by a trigger pic Stacy provided of a row of frisbees hence the circles. |
 |
| Everyday Life - I hate the title element but instead of starting again I have popped the layout in the album and called it done! Ross has a whole heap of funny sayings so I can see more layouts on this topic in the future. =) |
 |
| People - this is about Natalie who was the wonderful lady who recommended me for the library job that I started this year and the bouquet I got through GrabOne as a thank you gift. |
 |
| Seasons - TJ's softball season was relatively short lived (2 years) but I have another couple of layouts to create, this one was so quick and easy (so typical of me I know!) about his favourite position in the game. |

| Rituals - yes you have seen this set of photos twice before all with the same design just different patterned papers (1 layout for each of the kids albums). This layout is for my album and looking at the pic now I see I have forgotten to add the embellishments! |
