Found Time to Scrap!

Happy Easter All,

Hope you are all having a fantastic extra long Easter break!  Had lunch at Mum and Dad's on Good Friday with my brother and his family and yesterday I took the time to do all my chores so I had 3 days to myself.  Glad I decided not to go away I am loving having all this time to myself.  I have finally cleaned out the Tupperware cupboard and filed all my recipes away in the file I bought at Christmas time 2009.  It is amazing what you get done when there is hardly any footy on.

Last night I completed these couple of layouts while watching the footy. This layout is of Maddie's 7th birthday.  I had actually scrapped them years ago but decided to redo the layout.  My scrapping has certainly changed from the Creative Memories days.  Still struggling with the white balance whilst photographing the layouts.  The background is clean white cardstock.  Have used Cosmo Cricket DeLovely patterned papers and chipboard stickers, Making Memories Diecut, Ribbon, Bottlecaps, Ink, DMC thread, Kaisercraft rub ons and AC Thickers.

Liz has gone away to Augusta for the holidays with the in-laws so she sent me up her box of photo's to go through.  Copied this great photo of Liz and her girlfriends sharing a "Champers" down on the beach.   Decided to convert it to black and white and use Cosmo Cricket circa 1934 patterned papers (again).  Also used a Pink Paislee artisan element, Prima butterfly and part of packaging, AC Thickers, AC premium ribbon, Jenni Bowlin mini alpha's, stitching and some handmade spiral flowers.

Have got visitors for dinner tonight and tomorrow I am heading off for the day to scrap with a girlfriend.  So will hopefully have some more to share before the end of the weekend.  Hope the Easter Bunny was kind to you all.  Enjoy the rest of the break and take care!
