Archi - scraps July challenge.

I've loved dogs all my life and they have featured in many of my scrap booking pages.

The Archi - scraps July pet challenge was just up my street.

Take a look at this cute little guy! 

What a great prompt!

The perfect excuse to scrap yet another photo of our 

darling German Shepherd M'selle Fleur.

Fleur likes nothing better than to sit in the back of the car 

waiting and watching the world go by. 

That way she's always ready

when it's time to go! 

For this LO I used a kit which Michele @ Crafts For Eternity 

sent to me as a birthday gift 

on behalf my Scrap Happy teamies over at UKScrappers.

and maybe join in with a LO of your own. 

Check out the optional sketch prompt provided by Mystical Scrapbooking.

There will be prizes!

what get's your scrapbooking mojo working

Without the inspiration from outside sources such as the Design Team @ Counterfeit Kit blog and the very talented scrappers at UK Scrappers I think my scrapping mojo would almost disappear.
I also subscribe to a wonderful French scrap booking mag "Carnets de Scrap", leafing through it's pages is my idea of scrapping heaven.
The March House challenge @UKS has been set by Suzy, a lady that I have come to know quite well through the monthly Scrap-A-Sketch group.
This is the sketch she challenged us with this month.

My take on it featuring some of the amazing daffodils blooming in our garden right now, they brighten up my day and tell me that warmer weather is on the way.

Wishing you a great week filled with sunshine and flowers.
