ice cream?

 

Little monkey had her first proper ice cream, a mini asda cone. she ate it all.

anyone else eyeing up the project life core kits? I cant afford a whole kit but would love some of the cards from Kraft and Honey. ive been thinking a lot about project life recently. I don't get a lot of time to scrapbook so this would be a fab way of keeping my toes in without the pressure of a whole layout.

Today

I finally managed some scrap time :) here's a couple of layouts using the latest quirky kit lite, with a few extras thrown in.

 The Birthday Girl one was based on a layout on Shimelle's blog. I loved trying something with bold, clashing patterns.

The second layout shows my first attempt at misting.

Enjoy

 

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!

Goodies

From my 'international geek girl pen pal club' partner! Such a lovely surprise!

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 .

Losing the love

I don't know what to do. I'm really struggling to find my roller derby love right now. I think the fact I can only practice once a week so I'm not as confident as everyone else doesn't help. Because of this, I KNOW I won't be good enough to play in games, which leads me to think 'why bother'. I can't do PAYG sessions anymore, so dropping in isn't an option, but having paid out for skates, I don't want to just drop it. I'm tired all the time so come 8pm I'd rather be in bed than sweating it out on track.

Poorly

My poor baby is ill! Since Saturday she's had the dreaded Norovirus, and we spent yesterday at the hospital as she had barely drunk in 24 hours. I thought she was improving today, but after 2 huge vomits I had to resort to force feeding her water with a syringe. It's horrible seeing her so sleepy as normally she doesn't sit still. I hope she improves tomorrow or we'll be taking her back to the hospital.

Happy 1st Birthday!
