Puddle jumping

I'm quite pleased with this layout...

It's for the mojoholder challenge 117.

It's my super cute nephew Ethan at Kew Gardens last summer...he couldn't resist a spot of puddle jumping, much to my sister's dismay!

Colour challenge

I created this layout for the Color Combos #128 challenge.

It looks a bit out of place in July, but the piccie fitted the colour scheme so I went with it...even if it is out of season!

Pencil lines 142

Here's my take on this weeks sketch over at pencil lines.

I've used a bit more of my scrapagogo kit....I was really pleased when it arrived because I knew I had some great photos to match in with the colour scheme.

I'm looking forward to the next kit already.

Scrapagogo June Kit

I love the scrapagogo June kit...such great colour combos.

I've done 2 layouts with the kit so far...

Challenge.. Twisted challenge #005

Twisted sketches #005 is to work to a sketch and incorporate fabric, mine includes a heart cut from felt....

It's my cute nephew on the beach on Christmas eve last year. We always go to the beach on Christmas eve with family and friends to get a breath of air, give the kids a break from getting too excited and have fish n chips together...it's kind of a tradition now!

Travel Journal

I'm feeling quite pleased with myself for having completed my first mini book/journal. Way ahead of time as well ( I won't be using it until our hols on October!)
The inspiration came from here...http://craftybeast.blogspot.com/2009/05/honeymoon-travel-journal.html ...so many thanks!

I had loads of bits n pieces that were left over from other projects, so the only thing I bought especially for this book were the book rings!

Most of the paper used was from the K&Co 'wild saffron' range that I had lying around.

I intend to make notes as we go through the holiday and maybe add a few small photo's when we get back. It's mainly to remind me of 'what, where and when' though for when I start doing my holiday layouts.

Drowning in paper

I'm part way through updating all of my childminding policies and procedures, and also risk assessments, and feel utterly fed-up with the whole lot! My aim is to review and improve them all before the summer hols start in 3 weeks time...so pressure is on to get a move on!
Wish me luck!



On a lighter note, we had a teddy bears picnic yesterday in the local park, complete with cream tea....so it's not all bad!
