Challenge 23.....

It's time for challenge 23, a big thank you to Guiseppa for coming up with this one:

I want you all to take a few minutes to think about the things that make you happy! I know we all have so many of them. Your challenge is to do a layout on the things that make you happy!

Meet our November Guest Designer - Emma....

My name is Emma and i've been scrapping for about a year, but its been since March that its become a bit of an obsession! I have 2 children I adore, a dog I love and a cat who hates me (its ok, I hate her too!!) I was a card maker previously, but that doesn't get a look in now. My scrapping style is quite clean and simple, I love white space and I would rather use patterened paper than any other supply, I adore pages that are full of embellishments and busy, but I can't seem to replicate it myself! My children and Bruno (the dog) are the main focus of my scrapbooking, I think everyone is getting a bit sick of me sticking a camera in their faces to get a scrapworthy pic, but they tolerate it quite well!

Here's what our fantastic DT came up with:

Karen (me)

Avina

Title: Just MeJournalling:I do love watching TV. But I've never wished to be someone I'm not. I've never wanted to be a TV character. Partly I feel they are imaginary and also I guess I'm happy being myself, accepting my life. I'm really happy being just me!

Jeune Girl (AKA Meghan)

Brenda

I would have to chose the the TV character of Dr. Temperence Brennan on the TV show Bones. I relate to her in so many ways. I included a lot of journaling comparing her character traits to mine. There's too much journaling to share here, but mostly I can relate to her "cluelessness", her literal way of thinking and not being so great at reading between the lines, etc.

Elina

Fay

Journalling reads: Like all of them I believe I am a kind and caring friend, loyal and honest. Like Lynette I try to keep all the balls in the air; like Bree a good organiser; like Susan a bit forgetful; like Gabi I love glamour!.

Kylie

I would be Tweety.....

He is a loveable character who is bright and colourful.....But also can be shy and sweet....This describes me to a tee !!!

Roberta
