Mini Break and a card



day trips

Last weekend we went to Bath for the MILs birthday. We split off for lunch and went to Wagamama. love Wagamama!! Ella seemed to enjoy it too!



 



 

Last week we went to a local town farm for a few hours. It waws an interesting trip...health and safety would have had a field day!!

The Tricky Art of the Family Self Portrait

 

 

Try as i might, i just couldnt get a decent family self portrait...

The base for the title is actually the packaging from the Pink Paislee Instaframes.

I used some alphas from October Afternoon's WitchHazel line to complement the Thickers.

it was (almost) like Lapland

A couple of weeks ago we went to a big garden centre called Millets Farm. In their Christmas barn they had lifesized stuffed reindeer; Ella was fascinated!

This is my first Lo with the main kit from crafty templates. Ive added a kittyrobot button.

I just had to scrap this photo after hearing the news...

When we went to Cornwall, we had a cream tea at a place called Helford. 3 weeks later it was on the news. The biggest sea mine ever found had been discovered in the Helford river, right where we had been!!

Layout based on a sketch on the Elles Studio blog.

wow this week i've scrapped and i've baked! amazing!! These yummy cookies are peanut butter and choc chip. I was inspired to make these after reading this blog post by Leanne...and also by watching the latest series of The Great British Bake Off!! I didnt use as much peanut butter as Leanne; I only used half a jar of crunchy peanut butter, but they dont taste any the worse for it!!

mmmm creme egg

yesterday i managed my 4th layout with the current quirky kit lite. this LO was done using a sketch from elles studio as a base. the flair was some i won in a giveaway on Sian's blog and can be found here.
