A page full of memories

Today I have a scrapbook page to show you. It isn't following any sketches or part of any challenges, it is a page for scrapbooking sake. I quite enjoyed doing a page without any sketches, as I am slightly worried that the more sketches I do, the least likely I am to be able to make a page from scratch, and this was proof to myself that I can still manage it.

This page was created as a keepsake for a new friend. One of my good friends has had a girl to stay for the first 2 weeks of the holiday that she loosely knew through both of their parents. She has come from Sweden, so it has been our job to show her England and ensure she has a good few weeks. I've met up with them both many times, and had a really great time. Today she went home, so to ensure she remembers us and as a thanks for a great few weeks, I created her the following layout.

 She really liked the LO, she found the title amusing as it sums up the few weeks quite well, a mad time :) Here's a few close ups :) (Please click on the images for a better view, blogger seems to make them look very poor quality)

The photos are of a photo booth session I did with my group of friends last Friday, which we all really enjoyed, it was a great laugh and I am really pleased with the results :) I added lots of embellishments, paint splats and layers to this page, then slipped it inside a page protector to keep it safe.

I am off away for the next week on a guiding trip. It should be great fun. I shall be absent from here all week, although I have my TPV project scheduled, so please do pop over here to find out what exciting challenge it is this week. It's definitely my favourite yet and I'm really pleased with my project, so do pop back :)

Bye for now, have a good week :)
