{Blog Hopping!}

Most of lunch times, free times etc I spend blog hopping around! And wow you find some cool things!
Firstly I'm so loving this idea - covering a wall in scrapbook paper - amazing idea - just like a love Laura's idea of making a pretty home using hambly!! Very creative my dear!!
I'm loving the look of this bag - i know lots of my friends who would loves it too!! If only i had a sewing machine (though not sure i would be any good - had bad experience with one at the getaway!!!!)

I loves American Crafts! BIG TIME - and i love these little photo cubes!! and the canvas! Super cute - i feel a little project coming on! :)

These lists are v.useful - need to really get myself organised and these just may help!!

And I love the look of this photo display!! Perfect for putting up photos layouts etc...now where can you get this many different clipboards???

Finally - Shimelle is running a month long colour workshop on her blog - I am behind! But having browsing flickr for some colour inspo - based on the colour green!! This evening a layout I think (well maybe!)


Back to work now..... L xoxo

{Getaway}

So i did it for another year. I scrapped, took photos, had classes, had yummy food, slept in a big o'bed and stayed up late!! Thanks so much to the GoGo crew, teachers and thanks to these girlies.... I had a fantastic time!

Here's a just few of my layouts I did - using my page kit system, was productive but not as much as Laura - who put my page kits to shame!!

This layout is with a fantastic little frame designed by the v.talented SJ!!

Kevin's new hobby is flying kites!! This pic is from his first attempt - I love the sassafras background, i so need more
And a simple little layout - i love this pic of Kevin , and there really was no title- so my title is 'no title required' - a little silly i know!!
So my album is now bursting full of layouts!!
Anyhoo over and out xoxox

{Scrapbooking weekends..}

Yes, I'm a slack blogger! Apologies- but i have been mega busy! Last weekend I was scrapping up in the beautiful Wyverstone! Thanks so much girls for a fab weekend and Janice for your hospitality!!! Then this week I have been getting myself sorted for the getaway - which I leave for today!! So I'm blogging as got the day off, and just trying to sort out a few bits before I go away. And I have a confession - I have an addiction - Hairspray the Musical - I'm watching the film AGAIN!! I loves it so much it puts a smile on face!!

Anyhoo..the first butterfly crafts challenge I was involved in went live on the 1st. It was to scrap a present or past crush. So I scrapped Take That, I was so in love with them as a teenager!! (and still am kind of!!)

Also the Bellaboo Kit went on sale on 1st so here's a couple of layouts I made with it!! It's like summer in a box..

Finally, the layouts I made last weekend. I real mix of things - some new stash, old stash a couple of challenges. Phew!!

TV update - can't wait for Apprentice final on Sunday! I'd love Kate to win!! And BB is back for the summer - i really like Rodrigo - such a sweetie!!

Over and out - see you go go girls soon!!
