Celebrating the Hen

I am right at the end of my quirky kit lite now, and eagerly awaiting the next!
The envelope for the tickets was a large glassine one I cut down.

Baking

As part of my quest to keep my monkey entertained, I decided we'd do some baking. I used a ready made dough to save time and Ella managed to some rolling and cutting before getting bored :)

More scrapping?

Boy am I on a roll at the moment! I'm now managing to scrap some of the lovely photos from our week off together, and these two LOs show our trip to the aquarium and to the beach.

'dont mention the sand' refers to us eating a picnic on the beach with an 18 month old! Not a wise idea. The background was made by misting over some laser cut paper, using it like a mask. Then the mister paper was used on the 'fishies' LO. See, no wastage!

'take me to oz' is based on a sketch on Sarah's Cards blog and uses scraps from previous kits. The July label is actually from a Sweet Spuds kit! Does anyone remember those??

Catching up

With scrapbooking:

Not so Wee Beastie uses the latest quirky kit lite ( www.craftytemplates.co.uk ) with the feathers cut from an older piece of pp.
Splash Splash is based on a sketch on the chictags blog.

Our week together.

M had this week off so we made sure we did lots of lovely things including going to the beach and the aquarium.
It was lovely to have family time, but its also nice to get back to our regular routine.

It grows and grows..

The hair that is! I have now resorted to piggy tails for little E, and I must say, she looks adorable.

Proud to Wear

This layout is my first non quirky kit One for a long time. I used some Studio Calico paper and based the layout on a sketch from Shimelle's blog (www.shimelle.com)

Fly a kite

A little impromptu trip to the park with the kite from Nanny and Grandad. Just what we needed after E being poorly.

scrap envy

Does anyone else get this??

I don't have a lot of cash to splash on scrapping products, and I love looking as blogs for inspiration, but I hate seeing all those lovely products that I will never be able to afford.

my dream is to be on a design team, so that I will never have to worry about not being able to buy gold Thickers, or Studio Calico veneers, or Project Life kits.

Fountainously fun

We are currently, officially, in the middle of a heatwave in the south of England, with temperatures hitting 28/29c regularly. Because of this, I have joined the ranks of parents taking their children to asda to play in the fountains. Free fun.
