another 123 challenge

awesome again this month...

the word "watch", the colour "green" and "texture paste "

just perfect for me...

In love with texture paste right now, use it everywhere on everything. An gauze, love it!

And no titles, or handwritten ones...just me being lazy probably lol

a scrappy weekend away....

with 8 other lovely women...lots of laughter, drinks, food and amazingly lots of scrapping...I think I did 9 or 10 pages plus a canvas. Pretty happy with that.

August 1st sketch at STUCK! Sketches

Quite like this page...except the gauze isn't the one I normally use so it looks a bit like a wet cloth lol. But do like the bits and pieces that tell the story of what happened that day.

Back tomorrow with more.

Lists

yep I'm a list maker....I make lists, add to lists, lists on envelopes, lists in a book, lists on my reminder app on my phone, on the To Do app on my phone, lists on a special list pad, lists at work... I make lists everywhere.




This week's list

and I'm linking up with Tam Milborn's List Lovers link up at Somewhere Around Here...each week there's a LIST PROMPT. This week is Lists I Make...

And I'm proud to say only 6 left (out of 13) from my list already...nothing like a list to make you productive.

And now to do something that's NOT on my list (but I'll go and add it so I can cross it off when I've done it LOL! Do you do that?) making Lemon Slice (thanks Tam for the recipe) and Sausage rolls for tomorrow night's dinner.

First Love letter

I just had to scrap Isobel's first love letter!


Purple, the word MY and CHEVRON.....that was the criteria at 123 Challenge for July, so I gave it a ago.

I'm in love with those alphas, love the natural look they give to a layout.

And whilst I don't normally like PURPLE I love how it goes with the ORANGE used in the love letter. I think I will fold up the love letter and tuck it behind the photo so it is safe.

Do you scrap your kids notes or work?

and some more

I am so slack with entering my los in the comps I do them for...

no idea what this was for lol

but it is using a CHARMS star...which I am addicted to! lol

A new fav

and I nearly missed showing you...

for 123 MAY

what do you think?

A reminder to myself

slow down mummy, there is no need to rush,
slow down mummy, what is all the fuss?
slow down mummy, make yourself a cup tea.
slow down mummy, come spend some time with me.
slow down mummy, let’s pull boots on for a walk,
let’s kick at piles of leaves, and smile and laugh and talk.
slow down mummy, you look ever so tired,
come sit and snuggle under the duvet, and rest with me a while.
slow down mummy, those dirty dishes can wait,
slow down mummy, let’s have some fun - bake a cake!
slow down mummy, I know you work a lot,
but sometimes mummy, it’s nice when you just stop.
sit with us a minute,
and listen to our day,
spend a cherished moment,
because our childhood won’t stay!




made me cry...must remember this EVERYDAY....think I'll make it my phone screensaver as sometimes I think I pay IT more attention than I do my kids...not true....but could be!
