One week later..

Zac is still in the news, got his GCSE results today, a clutch of A*'s and A's with a splattering of B's and C's. A job well done...and he's more excited by the day about the new car... counting the days to his birthday in 10 days..the stereo is fitted and the theory test is booked.. perhaps I should run a sweepstake to see how soon before he is out on the open road on his own!

Took Kate and cousin Madison to Illogan for Just Scrapbooking session yesterday morning, nice to see some old faces..and some who found my blog too.. hope it was worth a read!

Both the girls created some great pages, Centre Parcs featured large and our Lilly of course..loved the lilac lace on top of the bright yellow.. perfect for the hot week we had .. must have been 'summer', that week at the end of June. Interesting to see Kate use some of the same photos as I did but so differently... must get a shot of Madison's pages when we see her next.

Kate and I took Lilly to The Play Zone earlier in the week., or should I say Lilly and I took Kate.. haha, who had most fun!? Obviously great opportunities for scrapping.. what do you think?

Embossing delight!

I promise this is my last of these layouts.. well, for this week, and until I do the next..!
As you may know I love the double layout, I think it's the Virgo perfectionist coming out in me.. (as it is certainly not exhibited in the not-compulsive cleaning and the not-tidy scrap space is it?) I just love a double page to look complimentary and generally work it that way .. the first 2 pages of my 2009 album are a Christmas Santa and a blue / orange feel summer layout.. and they hurt my head everytime I open the album.. sad I know, but true!

Anyways, this is the second layout to go with LillyBug below. (LillyBug because her first pushchair was called the Bug..why else!) This shows the rarer sighted me and Jordan, generally behind the lens.

I had a quiet evening in the week and experimented with my not-so-new-now heat gun, and discovered again that I love embossing, and it will make my letter using habit worse, but at least now I can create my own instead of covetting other people's...do you think Thou Shalt Not Covet was a commandment made for those who would never learn to scrapbook?!

Scrapilicious!

We got home from Centre Parcs at 6pm on the Friday and by 9pm I had viewed, chosen and printed off a whole new batch of pics for Scrapbooking in Newlyn the next day. I was soooo excited.

I had an email from Linda whilst away talking about her layout ideas for the Saturday scrap..she asked us to prepare a landscape shot for a background / frame effect so while we were out and about I took some pictures to suit this perfectly... on the Saturday morning as we meet there is always a moment when you wonder if you have got the right end of the stick, and then you see what she has prepared and that your pics will fit and it all comes together.. I just love it!
