wicked princesses at home retreat

some of the wicked princesses went on a retreat and those that stayed at home got to do some  at home challanges.this is what i completed.....

challenge #1 was to base a layout on this sketch so this is my take on it.

and i have no idea why it has come up sideward but there you go!!
i love this sketch so i didnt change it much. its bo bunny paper-abbey rd. leftovers from a kit i got from wicked princesses.
challenge #2    Create a layout theat is
~ in neutral toned combo ...eg. browns and cream, black and white........ and add one colour.
~ Use a single photo of a friend (could be partner, mum etc someone you are close to)
~ you must include at least 3 different patterned papers
~ flowers
~ bling
~ your title should include one of these words....friend, love or happy
so this is my example

and again its come up sidewards...if you can tell me why i can change it!!!
i love this photo of hubby and i taken at my sisters wedding in dec 2010. we dont get dressed up and go out much so i really love this photo.

and challenge #3

Create a layout using the following items....

~ 1 circle (I used and extra PP for this)
~ 2 different coloured cardstocks
~ 3 different patterned papers
~ 4 photos

You may add as many extras on top of this...... but you must contain the above items
this is my example

MME-abbey rd paper. oh that cluster i love and it took me over an hour....haha
clustering is something im yet to perfect but i feel very happy with what i have achieved in this page.
i really wanted a coffee stained doilie but was too scared to do one myself but im going to give it a go tonight.
might try some other colours too IF it works out and of course i will show you my results.

being the first of june today all my favourite scrap sites ahve bought out new challenges so as i do them i will upload them to show you all. thanks for reading my long post!!
