Warm up with Scrapwhispers

So are you starting to feel the autumn/fall weather coming now? We certainly are!! We have had some really blustery days here and theres no sign of it stopping. Today is really windy, there is not one cloud in the sky but boy, is it cold!! Our challenge this week for Scrapwhispers is all about the campfire. You can use camping photos or images, the colours of a campfire, any link you can find to give you that warm glow of the campfire. My layout is of DD in cold, windy french weather, while we were walking in the dunes. Lots of green, for the camping and orange for the fire. So come over and warm your cockles!! :0)

Its time for another blog hop with Scrap whispers. You should have come to me from Rosey's blog but If you have started here you need to go back to the main blog for Nilsa's tutorial and then begin hopping from there. Nilsa is showing us how to make a corner book mark. As you can see I couldn't stop! These are so fun to make. So to see how, make sure you start back at the scrapwhisper blog. Also don't forget our weekly challenge is up and this week we want to try and find a hidden mouse in your creations. Now its time for you to leap on over to Leah's blog. Have fun and don't forget to link us to your bookmarks

Scrapwhispers - The hidden mouse.

Hi all. Hope you've had a good weekend!? I'm really late posting this (so sorry!), I've just had some family stuff, and well you know how life can get in the way sometimes. This weeks challenge is just that. Terence Cuneo was a Military artist and in every picture he hid a mouse, only visable to those who went looking for it. So your challenge this week is to create a layout of a card and to include that hidden mouse. My layout is, of course, of the Magic Kingdom in Disneyland Paris and that mouse is there! (I apologise for the poor photo! Its pretty grim up here now) So come on over and get creative. See if you can spot the mice hidden in the DT creations.. ;)

STP: First Day of School - Eddie Garcia

Do you remember you first day at school? I do. I screamed the place down and my poor mother, how she must have felt leaving me. It was the first time she had ever left me with anyone. I was 5. So when DD started school I prayed and prayed she would not be like me and she would love going to school. My prayers were answered. In fact she didn't even look back!! She went right in, I called to her I'd be back later, and she just said "OK" and that was that. A breath of relief!!! Now a year later and she still loves going to school. Every friday she comes home and says that she has 3 sleeps til she goes back. I am going to cherish every minute of her loving her school days, because I hated mine so much! As you can see she was SO excited on her first day back and for going into a new year. I have used a mix of fancy pants and October afternoon papers and stickers for this layout, and an Owl badge that I found in paperchase. I am in love with their badges. Click here for the poem and to see what the other fabulous ladies at Scrap that poetry have created. What will you create?

Hoppin' and a boppin'

Hey all and welcome to the first ever Scrap it with a song BLOG HOP!!!! If you have come here first, head on back to the Scrap it with a song main page for the full details. This weekend MTV are hosting their awards to show their appreciation to some of the worlds top musicians and so in honour of these awards we are going to sing along to our favourites as YOU hop. Each DT member is offering a prize too but you'll have to sing for your supper! :) so Make sure you get all the hop details from the main blog. I find it impossible to choose just one, single favourite artist or band, just beacuse I like so many different genre's of music. But for Reggae music, UB40 are my favourites. Calming, soothing, and chilled out mostly. I saw them in concert last year and it was the perfect way to round off a busy year. They were supported by Eddie Grant which made it even better. So we had a dance at the beginning and then sang along to the classics like, Red, Red Wine, Cherry O baby, I got you babe, and Kingston Town. So there you go. Now its time for you to HOP on over to FAYES BLOG to complete Karaoke Hour. Before you go though, leave me a comment and tell me what latest song you can't get out of your head and I'll put you in a hat draw for an RAK! Happy hopping!!!

Scrap it with a song - you'll be in my heart

We have another great song choice for you to be inspired by this week, at Scrap it with a song! Phil Collins - You'll be in my heart from Disney's Tarzan. Sucha beautiful song with plenty of scrappable lyrics. Here is DD and The Boy. They are like this all the time... always together, and they don't like to be seperated. So this title is just perfect. I've used a mix of Crate Paper's Brook collection and MME Quite Contrary. Pretty different paper stacks but they just seemed to work somehow. Click here to see the full song lyrics. and check back on Wednesday to join in with Scrap it with a song blog hop!
