I haven't played with Scrap the Girls for a long time but with more "me" scrapping time on my hands now I am keen to join in much more often.
This month the challenge was to create a layout inspired by this picture :-)
As soon as I saw the umbrellas and clouds I knew what I was going to scrap. These pics of Marnie and her bestie Maddy were taken during the huge downpour that Mildura had in Feb - over 200mm ini 24 hours. So far this year we have had 441 mm! Our average to this time of the year is less than 80! Crazy.
This layout churned around in my head for a few days but I'm happy with the end result. No so "Allie looking" but that is OK - that is what challenges are for :-0
and a close-up of the clouds. I didn't want them to be perfect white so I just dabbed a white Stazon pad lightly so that the grey/brown shows through.
I also did Belinda's Scrap it Blind challenge at Scrapz Biz I'm sure my layout looks nothing at all like the instructions meant it to turn out like. I used lots of artistic licence LOL. I am really enjoying doing some of the challenges there as they are weekly and just seem to get me inspired :-)
I have two 5 day weekends coming up and plan to do not much at all. Lots of scrapping and resting. Still really struggling with the cellulitis infection so have had to go on another higher dose antibiotic to hopefully knock it on the head. Feeling severely fatigued and seasick 24/7 for a month is not fun!
