This photo was my MRI of my back from last month. It shows the cause of the pain I've had for the last few months circled in red. I cut a strip in a rectangle and inserted doilies paper strips in the gaps I'd created. They were a bit delicate so I used a square of the wrapping from the paper to strengthen the LO. I placed some more doilie strips around the edges and misted over it to show the pattern underneath. Finally I layered various hybrids, sprouts and other elements.

Paws for Thought

For this LO I used a program to create a film strip of Connor and Bailey. You can see my step by step on the ScrapaGoGo blog on Tuesday. Connor is wearing a lovely green shirt which matches perfectly with the green frilled ribbon from the March kit. I made some flowers to tie in with the cardstock from the doilies paper and Jillibean patterned paper.

Sprouts- not just for Christmas!

The journalling sprouts in the March ScrapaGoGo kit are so vibrant and match the papers brilliantly but I decided they could go it alone on this LO. I love how you can create different looks by layering the sprouts up. For the photo I used the exclusive ScrapaGoGo March stamp. I had to print the photo very small to fit in to the space.This LO captures my memories of the DT training weekend on one of the journalling sprouts and used some hybrid letters for the title. I love the colours in the March 'What a picture' kit.

Spring in the Air

My next LO using the ScrapaGoGo March kit is 'Spring in the Air'. I created a step by step for this LO and that will be on the ScrapaGoGo blog really soon. I love the paper from Jillibean and cut it in to strips before adding tiny photos to it. The colours in the March kit are gorgeously spring appropriate :)

March Manufacturers

One of the things that I love about the ScrapaGoGo kit is that there is a mix of manufacturers each month, but all beautifully colour coordinated. It was my mission in this LO to use paper from each of the manufaturers in the March kit and I decided to use the brick wall in the photo for my inspiration. I cut strips of each paper and then cut them in to smaller pieces, rounded the corner and inked the edges before sticking some down flat and sticking some down with foam squares to give them depth. I used a hybrid strip and some of the floss to break the bricks up. The corrugated title is inked slightly and I hand cut the 'all' out of the patterened paper. The LO still didn't look finished so I added a journalling sprout and some buttons to the left hand side to give it a little something Supplies:

Picture Perfect

Connor has recently started to enjoy crafting. I asked him to paint a canvas for his Daddy's Birthday in March and now he wants to paint canvases every time They really impress me and I put them on his wall. The two pictures here are his rocket which I'm flying and the painting he did for his Dad which is a pirate's ship. We've also got a yellow submarine being driven by a green frog but that's not shown here. I thought that the hybrids were perfect for these little photos because they all related to pictures so I overloaded the page with them and printed some little photos to complement the hybrid elements. I love this busy layered layout.

A GoGo Weekend

This weekend we had a ScrapaGoGo Design Team Training weekend in Suffolk. The team stayed at a house with a heated indoor pool and as many of us are dieting at the moment we took the opportunity to swim in it between scrapping and training and planning :)

We arrived on Friday to be met by our fabulous March Kits. There was lots of oohing and aahing over them. I'd met Sam and Sheena previously but it was great to meet the rest of the team and to finally meet Nic B after all these years of being on design teams with her. Nic and I had a midnight swim, which was novel! I dug straight in to my kit and found it so easy to scrap with despite not having photos with me that I could use. I quickly had three LOs done without the photos in place.
On Saturday we had a whole day's agenda full of training, cups of tea, planning for the rest of the year (including getting ideas together for October Getaway classes), healthy food, more tea, and looking at the designs for the March Getaway classes which members will be booking really soon. The evening was spent scrapping and being introduced to 'Take Me Out' with lots of laughter. Nic B found that working with the March kit can be hazardous.
Sunday we played some more with our kits and sadly I had to leave just after lunch to be home in time for Connor coming home but the pages I saw before I left were gorgeous. It never ceases to amaze me how different each page is despite the same images being used. They'll be uploaded to the Gallery over the next week so do have a look at them. I know you'll not be able to resist the March kit once you see them!
