Lusi's Challenge

I joined Lusi Austin & friends on her blog last night for a night of scrapping. During the night Lusi posted a challenge, the criteria was:
* the colour purple
* an envelope or part of one
* paper clip, staples or hair clip
* 3 circles
* hand journalling
So I completed the above page. It's a photo from my Year 10 Formal of my best friends from high school and is part of my beautiful people album.
I used a piece of purple patterned paper as the background. I then grabbed a purple striped envelope and stuck it on with the photo poking out of it, and attatched a butterfly hair clip to the seal of the envelope. I then tucked 3 circles behind the photo, and wrote my hand journalling on the circles. I then threw in a few finishing touches and it was finished.
It was a lot of fun. I do love challenges. My favourite challenges are the ones where you are given a list of products/criteria you have to use, that's always heaps of fun.

Last night I mentioned to Lusi the pages I had made from the Paper Crafts Festival we met at last year, and she wanted to see them, so here you go Lusi I've posted them for ya.

This layout didn't turn out quite how I had imagined. I used photos of all the things I bought on the day and stuck all the business cards and flyers I collected on the day underneath the photos. It didn't quite work out, it looks a bit cluttered, but oh well.

I've already posted this layout a while ago, but I've put it on again so that they are all together. The first page of Lusi & I was about how I enjoyed the class and how lovely Lusi is, but this one is all about what I got out of making a grattitude book, and how it made me quite reflective.
