It was the Soundtrack to October

I just had to scrap this photo. This bear was bought last year by nanny and grandad and recited the Night Before Christmas, and this year, Eleanor rediscovered it. The poor thing was played to death. We weren't going to replace to batteries but she loves it so much we might need to. Based on a sketch from chic tags.

Naptime scrapping

This layout is made with 90% old products. go me.
The paper is sassafrass lass, the cut out is kiMemories and the '30' is part of an old glitz design rubon.
In fact, the only new bits are the Amy Tan alphas and a couple of bits cut from some Echo Park pp in the latest quirky kit lite.
I love it!

My first derby bout!

Im not sure how long I'm going to continue scrapbooking for. I enjoy it but can't really afford it now. In the meantime, I managed this quick and simple LO with the latest quirky kit lite.
I layered the netting over a frame from a previous kit to soften the whiteness of it. Everything else was from the current kit, which is a rareity for me!

the first pair of real shoes

 

here's my first LO with the latest quirky kit lite from crafty templates. at first i wasnt sure i would be able to use this kit as the Teresa Collins flowery paper kepy blowing my mind, but i bit the bullet and used the reverse side...problem solved!! i added the pink ribbon, doily tag, button (kittyrobot) and the large alphas. the envelope under the photo holds the card from the shoe shop with Ella's shoe size on .

i just dont have the time to write on this poor neglected blog anymore!! but here, for your viewing, is a little paper play.

The first layout uses the latest quirky kit lite, the second is a mix of previous kits

catching up

 

Rosie's 30th: my friend Rosie recently had her 30th birthday at a local town farm. Despite the snow, there was a lovely turn out.

Every few years, it is time to buy new Converse. The dilemma as to which to chose is huge, which is why i usually end up with plain ones!

A quick 6x12 with Ella meeting the Snowman from the John Lewis Chirstmas advert. I added a couple of kittyrobot buttons and a sticky label, but everything else is from the latest quirky kit lite.

 

 

I just thought i would share a little of my december daily. its only 4x5 but i thought with a baby a small size would be easier to finish.

Mini Break and a card



what lies beneathe....

 

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.

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.
