Parkrun Pages with Scrap Squad - Part 1

I started bringing my parkrun album up to date when I came back from my holiday, and this coincided with the 12 Days of Autumn event in the Scrap Squad Facebook group, so I aimed to do as many of their scraplifts as possible with my parkrun photos. 

These are the first four and they are all 8"x8" so I count them as half-pages in my count for the year as they are roughly half the area of a 12"x12" page.

82.5 Blaise Castle
I started with Day 5, using two small photos offset diagonally with papers from a 6x6 pad. I ran here on the weekend of the Twilight crop back in May.


Supplies: Paper - Dovecraft, Pinkfresh Studio Life Right Now; Enamel Dots - My Mind's Eye

83. South Woodham Ferrers
Next was Day 7, a page with layers of paper across the the top and a single landscape photo. We did this one in August to tick off 'South' in the compass point challenge.


Supplies: Paper - Dovecraft, Vicki Boutin Storyteller; Sticker - Vicki Boutin

83.5 Jubilee
I then went back to Day 1, with three big tags and a single portrait photo from Jubilee parkrun in Spennymoor which we ran en route to our recent cruise.


Supplies: Paper - Dovecraft, Heidi Swapp Wanderlust; Stickers - My Mind's Eye, OneCanoeTwo; Nuvo Drops

84. Hoblingwell 
Then Day 6 with another portrait photo on a large banner. Hoblingwell gave us an H for the Alphabet Challenge.


Supplies: Paper - Fancy Pants Little Sprout, Bo Bunny Little Wonders, Maggie Holmes Chasing Dreams; Glitter Tape - The Works; Stickers - Jen Hadfield; Enamel Dots - Altenew, My Mind's Eye

Nomads on Tour

Things have been quiet around here as we've been away on a cruise round the Mediterranean, and then I had to create something to share with you. I'm itching to make a start on my cruise scrapbook but it will have to wait as I have a few things I want to do first, such as finishing my 2023 album and bringing both my parkrun album and my 2024 album up to date.

I'm starting with 2024 and a double page for a weekend in Wales last month. This was organised by a member of Thurrock Nomads, our local running group, with the aim of doing a parkrun on Saturday morning followed by a walk up Pen y Fan in the afternoon. I made both halves of the page using Jenny Wren cut-files from Twilight Crafts as my DT projects this month, with Picture Wheel on the left and Road Sign 2 on the right.

(These are pages 81 & 82 for my page count this year.)

Supplies
Paper - Make & Create Moments, My Mind's Eye Vintage Charm, Make & Create Grunge Dreams, My Mind's Eye Necessities
Letters - American Crafts, Paige Evans
Stickers - OneCanoeTwo, Paige Evans, Pretty Little Studio, 49 & Market
Die-Cuts - OneCanoeTwo
Enamel Dots - Altenew, Maggie Holmes

Disclosure - I receive digital cut-files free of charge from Twilight Crafts as part of my DT role. All other supplies are my own.
