Still keeping to the plan...

....to use up all my left over scraps before I do anything else! I had a whole sheet of cardstock,some small pieces of cardstock, some die cuts that I had brought but not used, a few buttons and some bakers twine left from this months kit. So I spent some time last night putting this layout together, pleased how it turned out. Sometimes you can have too much stuff and spend hours moving pieces of paper around and around, when you have limited supplies...its seems easier..lol!

Everything is from My Minds Eye Dilly Dally, love this range but then I say that about all My Minds Eye! Border punch is Martha Stewart Cherish punch, great for boys layouts.

Hope you have a had a lovely Bank holiday, back soon with more layouts

Baby layout



Another selection of cardstock I have had for years....I know its My Minds Eye and I think I got it in America.  I just added the buttons instead of flowers.  Slowly making my way through my stash....have a great BH Monday.

Time for some fun

Another layout completed with some left overs I had from ages ago.  Papers/stickers are My Minds Eye Alphabet Soup Boy collection. Small letter stickers are from my Cosmo Cricket.

My Minds Eye Bloom & Grow class

Here are the 2 layouts we did in todays class...all the cardstock is from the Bloom range. The first layout "Smiles" has the co-ordinating ribbons and flowers cut from the one of the cardstock sheets. The tags are a Sizzix die and the title was cut on the Cricut using Lyrical Letters cartridge. The "Beautiful" word is a stamp, buttons from stash and scalloped edge is a Quickutz border die.

The 2nd layout is a simple page suitable for a male/boy photo so I kept it flower free. The title and arrow are from Street Sign cartridge, buttons from stash.

Our next class is on the Saturday 19th September if you are interested in joining us.

Hat race

Had a great time yesterday at my all day crop, scrapping all day...heaven! It was a bit warm though, so fans were out in force!!

One of the layouts I did was a kit from Totalpapercrafts....My Minds Eye papers I adore, so I just loved doing this page. I am also trying to use older photos, especially of the children. How I wished I had a digital camera when they were growing up! Is so much easier to use the my recent photos but I have huge gaps in their albums and these need to be filled, so I am just going to have to get on with using the smaller photos and adjust the layouts accordingly. This picture happens to be a good one....back in the days before my daughter grew up all to quickly!!

Keep cool...its going to be a scorcher week!

This time next week will we be looking at photos of Andy Murray holding the mens champions cup at Wimbeldon?? I do hope so....but I fear I have still have to sit through many more nail bitting moments before we get to the finals!! lol but we should be used to that after watching Tim for all those years!

Zoo

These papers were given to us as a challenge kit when I was on my retreat last year and needless to say I never got around to doing it at. So I picked it out of my crate to see what I could come up with. I had some patterened papers and plain to cordinate and some diecuts, they were all from My Minds Eye. The only thing I have added is a few buttons,string and the title has been done with American craft Thickers. If you are wondering how I do my circles I use the EK success cutter with the glass mat....easily the best cutting system I have brought.
