Scrapjacked for February ...

I'm amazed I managed to get some personal scrapping in this month and I was able to play along with Scrapjacked.  I've always liked the way this challenge blog is set up - the talented design team submit some inspirational layouts and you choose one (or more) to inspire you to create your own.


This month I was torn between what I thought was a very good idea and a layout I really liked as a sketch basis for my own - so what does any goodcscrapper do in a situation like this?   Yep, I did them both!!


Firstly I very much liked Mandy's concept of using a song to highlight a layout about cycling.



I knew I had the perfect pictures for such a page - a whole series of vintage shots of my Father-in-law back in the UK in the 1950's when he was a competing cyclist. I couldn't go past Queen for my song choice.


Then I liked the layout by Jeanenne and borrowed her basic layout and even her subject matter in part to create my own.
