Been a crafting

I've been crafting loads recently...which is good as I have stash that needs using. :D

Here are my latest layouts:


This one is my current favourite I think. A cake store near me has 1/2 price of all craft items, so I nipped in and picked up a few papers....45p each! These are from a baby range, but the opposite side of them all is universal. The metal butterflies were £1 from the range, the scalloped paper was a gift from my SIL Helen (thanks hun) and the title was older letter stickers/rhinestone word. So all in all a bargain page.


The one above and below are made from 6x6 paper pads, I've used the same basic layout behind as they're both destined for different albums, but the variety comes from the colours and the embellishment. I think I'm not going to shy away from bargain 6x6 pads anymore as I'm finding more ways to use them.


All the layouts above are destined for the 2007 albums....just a few more to go.

In other things I spent the whole day crafting yesterday working on my Australia album, and I've nearly completed my 2012 trip but I'll blog about that when it's finished in one long upload. I'm also now 4 weeks behind with project life, but thats OK. I'm currently uploading to Photobox (not worth using my Selphy for so many) and I've got notes written down so once those arrive I'll catch up quickly.

Right off to get those kids ready for school tomorrow.

Multiple Layouts

I've been on a bit of a layout spree these last couple of weeks. A lot of it is due to watching the Glitter Girl videos on 2 Peas. Even if the topic doesn't interest me, the ideas of how things work do. So much so that I've been creating!!


This layout above is a catch up one, photos are from 2007 which is my current year on the 'getting the kids albums up to date' project....It's going pretty well so far and I feel the 'being organised' coming along nicely.


This one was done using a very old kit which worked wonderfully with these pictures of a bird Kate made in school with a prayer for her Auntie Beth.


These pictures are a bit more current but still from my back dated pictures.... I think these Kaiser papers have all been used up now, unless I get the urge to make a card from the scraps.


This one is even more current and I loved using even more washi tape. LOL It's also nice to scrap pictures of me & Will for a change, a bit more of a grown up layout (but still lots of colour)

I have got another one I've done since, but light isn't good for photos at the minute so I'll get it in my next update, I also need to catch up on the last 2 weeks of project life, I'm not to far behind, but need to give certain family members a kick to provide some photos so I can pull it back. (hint hint)
