{Thursday: A Week of layouts}

Morning!


Hope week is progressing nicely! Another layout inpired by the two peas class this one is the 'Products you Love' which was to use border stickers. I must admit this is product I have in my stash I rarely use.




I love this photo which was taken by Shimelle at Lauras wedding. Me & K love music all different types and we sometimes we kind just get lost in the music with each other.

{Wednesday: A Week of layouts}

Morning! Today's layout...


Everytime we go on a scrapping break we like (as we are scrappers) to get group photoshoots. We usually get the normal everyone grouped together shot but we also try and think up different ideas ( we have had shoes, Polaroids, in a line etc) this was one of our ideas. Also most like a chain of paper dolls.

The full title actually says 'Another Crazy Photoshoot Idea'. I used December Studio Calico Kit - Love the sassfrass patterned paper and embellishments.

Have a nice day.

{Tuesday: A Week of layouts}

Happy Tuesday!


Back in November 2010, I went out for afternoon tea for a friend's 30th Birthday. It was such a lovely day, and anyone who knows me knows I am a huge tea junkie!! SO this was bliss. Tea, crumpets, scones, cakes.

I've used the Studio Calico November Kit (I think). I really like the small little pics on the layout of all of us who went.

Have a nice Tuesday

{Monday: A Week of layouts}

I have been scrapping a fair bit recently, yay! But I have realised I haven't actually shared any of these layouts here! Whoops - so Welcome to my first Week of layouts. I'll show you what I've been up to, please link me in the comments if you too have been scrapping. I'd love to see what you have been working on.

But before that a few links from myself.... Firstly huge wishes of good luck & happiness to Rachel who has moved house this past week. Secondly BIG congrats to SJ whose stamps were sold on QVC Friday & see is also selling on her blog a fantastic cd rom of her designs!! Then have you seen the amazing layouts Laura has done recently - I definitely find her layouts very inspiring, you should totally read her blog! Also I did a guest blog post over at Shimelle.com , 5 ideas with a Martha Stewart Punch. Think that's enough of a round up - hope I haven't forgotten anything.

On to my first layout of the week.

This layout I loved making! Have you seen over at two peas there FREE monthly classes. This layout was from the first class all about stamping, and I loved pulling out my stamps and creating this layout. Some of the stamps I used for example the Heidi Swapp family one I have had for years!!! Glad it finally got some good use.

I loved the sketch that came with the class as it used lots of photos, a layout I often aspire to make but fail at. This pictures were from Christmas day, and with my little man it is often hard to get him to sit still for longer than 5 seconds. Hence all these photos are slightly blurry but I didn't want to not scrap them because of this. These photos were also taken about 2 hours after we got engaged :)

Another layout to come tomorrow. Have a great week.

{Welcome 2011}

Firstly thank you so much for your lovely comments before. I have so many thoughts running round my head but I'm sure I'll have some friends around to help me.

Secondly Happy New Year. I have enjoyed reading round ups and resolutions on blogs around the world today.

My 2010 has been amazing it included...

a baby shower * leaving work * having a baby * becoming a mum * meeting new mummy friends * losing weight * learning about handy manny, mickey mouse & special agent oso * knitting/crocheting again * afternoon tea *a wonderland birthday party * going back to work * scrapbooking weekend in the woods * a friends amazing wedding * good friends getting engaged * a christening * baking a lot * loving being a mummy * getting engaged * growing older * a couple of cinema trips * learning to use a sewing machine * a few layouts * & a lot of photos (& I'm pretty sure I've missed out some things!)

I really wonder what 2011 will bring. I'm not so keen on resolutions but I like the idea of goals so here goes:-

  1. walk more with my family. we live next door to a park so must take advantage of this
  2. take more photos and learn to use my camera more
  3. make time for me
  4. host a dinner party
  5. make my home more pretty
  6. read more
  7. be more carefree and embrace myself.

Have fun out there now
