Tastes like Autumn

Whee!

Using the latest quirky kit lite from crafty templates. Really loving the basic grey Persimmon range.

Not all bad

Yesterday was my team's last game in the Heartlands series 2013. We lost impressively but I must have done something right as I managed to win Best Newbie. Technically I've been saying for 4 years but what with the time it took for our team to grow and then being off having little E, I've only played in 4 games. Massive confidence boost.

Aye aye captain Gromit

When I said I had finished with my current quirky kit lite it appears I was telling porkies. I hadn't yet cut into that lovely sheet of Glitz Design Finnley I got from the Crafty Templates Quirky Kit extras store, but in order to get the most from it, I cut it down so I still have a piece left. The photo is a lovely family shot from Bristol with pirate Gromit. The 'summer 2013' tab is cut from a current Elles Studio tabbed tag, so economical me gets the rest of the tag too!

Yummy

Me and E did some more baking; rock and chocolate cookies! She did the bashing of the rock and chocolate (with a huge grin on her face) and helped mix the flour in. They're a bit tricky to get off the tray but so yummy!

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.
