Ooo a seperate album, now that is a nice idea....not sure Alex would agree though :D I do have an album that not being used at the moment, but it's a
6" x 12" but not sure if I would want to do the LOs all that size. Decisions, decisions, I could get a new D ring at the Getaway though, that would take all sizes :p

Now thats a thought!

I'm loving looking at the layouts being created. Thank you for sharing :)

[Helen]

i'm glad it's not just me who enjoys a good nose!

[ClaireS]

My attempt is here. (http://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4486&cat=618)I was wondering what to do with that lovely big album I bought last year, now I know.

[ClaireS]

Infact I've just found another album I'd forgotten I'd bought & its green, yellow & orange - Academy album sorted:)

[guiderbec]

I've enjoyed an afternoon crafting, and here's my LO:

This kit is gorgeous, my favourite so far I think. Thanks for the fab prompt, I'm hoping to play along all year!

[Scrapin Sarah]

i'm glad it's not just me who enjoys a good nose!

:) Indeed :) :cool:

[Lorraine]

Hi ladies:)

We are so pleased you are loving the Academy! You never know Janice and I may even find some time to take part too:lol:

Lx

[Helen]

ooh it's so exciting seeing everyone's pages!

[Tinkypen]

well i have the picture printed and kinda started the layout!! so watch this space :D

[katie squirrel]

Some brilliant creations in the gallery - and lovely stories too - some great achievements there!

Must sort myself out and perhaps get mine done at local crop at weekend...

[andieward1908]

Just put my first LO on. Love the Academy, it's a great idea. Already debating what to do next week. Thanks for the inspiration.

[sixofone]

I've just put my first LO on the Academy. I really enjoyed doing it. Its a fabby idea and I'm already planning my next LO

[beksynormz]

Have just been really naughty and ordered a 12x12 D ring album and some 8.5x11 and 6x12 refills so I can do my academy LO's in all different sizes. Have to stick to it now!!! xx

[Helen]

excellent! commitment, that's what i like to see! (and such a fab excuse to buy such a class album!)

[Alison5]

Right my kit has just arrived so gonna crack on with the lo now when I have a bit of time, love the idea about the album Beki, any excuse to buy another American Crafts Album lol. There have been some great lo's done.

[sixofone]

I think I need to buy a new album now too. I just stuck mine in the family album, but I've seen one I like and now I have the perfect excuse

[Lorraine]

:lol: We should have thought, we could have had GoGo Academy 'year book' albums made:D

Lx

[Helen]

it would make a great 'book of me' album aswell

[Tinkypen]

naughty me - i have not done my lo!! I have however been spending that time working out the wii fit?!!

[beksynormz]

I hope I'm not getting too ahead of the game but I have just uploaded my week 2 LO. I was far too inspired not to get it down on paper! You can see it here (http://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4520&cat=618) xx

[Tinkypen]

finally done mine!! phew http://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4527&cat=500

[JackieH]

Thanks to everyone who's made a comment about my LO's. I was unsure about sharing my work, nervous I suppose !
The comments so far have been really fantastic, a real boost. I'm really fired up about the acadamy challenges, already working on week 3.
If you haven't made a comment - please do - I'd love to know what you think - I am happy to be told you don't like them !?!!!

[natzini]

Well done guys! I did my first weeks layout today, have taken a pic but am a bit nervous about uploading it, will prob do tomorrow morning.

[JackieH]

Go ahead and upload - you'll feel great when someone makes a comment ! I was a bit anxious of sharing my LO's - but I'm so glad I did.

[beksynormz]

Come on Nat, I wanna see it now you've said that!!! xx

[natzini]

Here you go then... clicky! (http://www.scrapagogo.co.uk/photopost/showphoto.php?photo=4532&cat=618)

[Lisa]

[natzini]

Thanks guys, I am getting there I guess!

[Karen]

Oh Nat, I love your LO. It its really lovely and what a wonderful goal to document. I really hope to see some more of your layouts.

Please dont be worried about posting, practice makes perfect and like most hobbies I think its a matter of time, energy and enthusiasm that makes a difference. x

[Tinkypen]

Karen I complete agree!!

Great LO's Leanne, isn't it great to give you the kick up the proverbial to get some scrapping done :D

[natzini]

Love the layouts Leanne!
Am really working on my scrapping now although tonight I'm only making a card for my Dad and in front of the TV as we are getting our new cooker tomorrow so OH has moved a lot of stuff from the kitchen to the spare room and I can't get to my desk!

[beksynormz]

Wicked LO's Leanne. I'm glad someone else has done their week 2 and 3! Have got the idea for my week 3 just haven't found the time this weekend, am gonna try and do it tomorrow xx

[Tinkypen]

well i thought while i had the time ;) thanks for the lovely comments guys! Lx

[JackieH]

Can anyone help? Are there any 'rules' for our acadamy LO's? Do we have to use the current month kit? Can we incorporate other bits and pieces aswell?

[Lisa]

I"m sure it's fine to incorporate other bits as well, no hard and fast rules here:)
