Scrapping in a Punky Kinda Way

One of the Scrapbook Challenges DT members, Natalie, also has a little challenge blog of her own. It's called Punky Scraps, because she's a punky kind of girl. She offers sponsored prizes every month and sketch challenges every week, and in short she's a girl after my own heart - to steal my university's old motto, we like to 'do different'.

I made a layout for last week's sketch, using scraps of paper in colours I would never normally dream of using. It's a fun, bright little page with some hidden journalling and some paint splodges. And that's about it!


The hidden journalling tells of how, at my cousin's 80s-themed party, my family dressed up to the nines and when I saw the photos I was struck by how young my mum looked - the outfit, the makeup, the hair all took 20 years off her. Of course, she still looks young now (and yes, she does read this blog), but really, she looked younger than me! This is the 80s word I used to describe her and title the page:


Nostalgic, anyone?
