A little sneak of August....

Well its seems like its been an age since I have posted on here....not sure if anyone even looks at my blog....but I thought I would pop up a sneak of my August layout for the DT over at Scrapology....once again we have had fun playing and I am looking forward to the full reveal and start of the new challenge on Aug 1st.

Hasn't the weather been hard to cope with??? I know we shouldn't complain, because it IS lovely to actually have some proper summer weather, but boy oh boy it has come with avengence hasn't it. Don't get me wrong, I love blue skies and nice weather, but it has just been too extreme. The children have all broken up now for the summer holidays so hopefully this year there will be nice weather to allow them lots of lovely time for playing outside, hitting the beach, parks etc and just having fun. What are YOU looking forward to doing through the summer? TTFN xxxx

Beach Belle *Bo Bunny*

Hello there.....

Well...I have to say I cannot remember the last time I made a double layout! But here is one that I thought Iwould share. I have used one of the newer releases from Bo Bunny...its from the Sun Kissed Collection and is GORGEOUS!!!! Such a lush mix of colours...and so very easy to work with.

The sunshine and rays is printed on one of the papers and made it so easy to cut out and place where required and I just cut the photos down to the sizes I wanted to fit the pages. Quite a few parts are raised with foam pads and I have used small dollops ( techincal term that ;) lol) of Glossy Accents on the 3 little squares in parts to highlight and give interest to the objects in them...actually it looks almost like they are enamalled( sorry, I know it doesn;t show in the photo).
The strips across the base of the page are sliced and rolled at alternate heights

and I finished it all off with a string of bunting that joined the 2 pages together. The photos were taken at Walton on the Naze last year when we were there on our hols....and it was really lovely...eventually....when the tide went out...... and there was actually some beach to sit on LOL.

Right, I am off to bed...totally tired out......enjoy the rest of the weekend everyone :)

All Cream Tea'd Out!

Hello there......I am back ( bet you didn't even miss me lol) We have had a fabulous week away in Devon( think lush cream teas and lots of Volkswagon Camper Vans) and now I am back to the reality of a mountain of washing and ironing….and very early mornings come Monday :(….. But whilst we were away we had some wonderful days out and saw some beautiful places ( not just the inside of EVERY clothes shop and shopping arcade we passed ( for Lauren of course he!he!he!)
I will catch up properly as soon as I can, but for now I am just going to bore you with a mix of photos from various places :)
