Once Upon A Time.....

..... there was a beautiful Princess. I thought I would post a couple of layouts that I made last year, at a retreat that I attend each year with some lovely friends...and we are going to all get together again in a few weeks, I can't wait!



This had to be one of the only times I have ever bought some new papers AND actually used them the day after I got them instead of admiring them and then leaving them in the paper bag they came in LOL.



I thoroughly enjoyed making this page, I think the paper is Crate Paper and then I did my normal *throw it all on and cut some bits out routine*, I love the page....and more importantly so did my beautiful little Princess :)





My 2nd page is called Melon Muncher and I just HAD to scrap these pics of Lauren and her melon munch on the beach at Pevensey. I normally steer clear of very bright colours( I prefer grungey, inky,murky colours lol). The cute bear at the top was a paper peicing I bought on ebay :) Really looking forwards to the good weather and the chance to hit the beach again this year.






Well, I know old work is a bit of a cop-out for blogging, but, I have got a couple of new bits that I am going to post on saturday, but can't before then incase someone else see's them ;).



Must dash as I am off tonight to see the closing night of a play that Lauren is in, I can't wait and have been warned to take some tissues, apparently its quite a tear jerker...and as I am soft mare anyway its pretty much in the bag that the mascara will be running! Have a lovely evening..xxxx

  1. Hi Anita

    WOW!! These are simply gorgeous and not a cop out at all!! That melon looks delicious no wonder your daughter is enjoying it sooo much!! Your princess layout is fit for a queen and I am not surprised your daughter approved... my 6 year old would LOVE it ;-)

    Enjoy the play tonight and don't forget to put on waterproof mascara LOL sounds like a real tear jerker and you must be so proud of her having a part in it. Like you I am a softy - I went on a training course today and we watched a video of a boy doing CPR on his dad, even though I knew it was being acted out I still filled up, so another softy here hahaha!!

    Thanks once again for the lovely comments you have left on my blog, they really do make my day :-) and your encouragement about me scrapping is working, slowly but surely, I have got the photos out just need to (like you said) think of it like a big card LOL! Love that thought.

    Take care and can't wait to check back on Saturday to see what other goodies you have up your sleeve.
