Check It Out...

Hi everyone. Well, I've really had my head down and working hard the last week or two, (except at the Retreat, but that's a story for another day!) creating layouts with my new DT kit from Scrappin' Patch. I used very pretty papers from the Ruth collection by Scribble Scrabble, and these were the two layouts I created.
I love this one; my little darling and my darling Sister, and I think it's so pretty. I love that border punch too. Oh, and I was very happy with how my butterfly came out; I haven't used my Glimmermist on much, but it came out the perfect colour for this layout - Pink Taffy Glimmermist sprayed directly on chipboard.

This layout is a cute one about one of the funny things my little darling does; she just adores looking at herself in the mirror, so this home-made 'computer' was perfect for her - she could 'type' away, and look at herself at the same time; hilarious! They were not perfect photos to scrap, but I really wanted to tell the story. The page has not quite come out how I had initially pictured, but never mind, Aurelia loves it. And it has helped me to finally click that, even if they don't make for really beautiful layouts, I still need to scrap the not-so-good photos, that ones that tell a story.

Oh, now before I forget, you gotta get yourself over to Scrappin' Patch, and spend some money - they are having a 30% off everything in stock sale!! I've already made another big order...

Now, I know I owe you lots of info and goss on the Retreat, but you are just going to have to wait, 'cos it's after midnight and I'm exhausted and need to go to bed. But if you are lucky, and patient, you may just get a photo of my group in our dress ups before the end of next week...

Have a great Easter!

Hope you have a special time with your sister - you seem so on the move and so busy - and yet you still get LO done. Jordan loves the mirror too - we have moved Jacobs cot now but she used to stand in it and look in the mirror and talk or sing

I saw these in person today - we went out to SP shop - lovely ladies those 2 Adrienne and Pauline. Your LO look so much more awesome than on a computer - also had a few others ones I haven't seen - the whimsical paper LO? At first I didn't recognise them so I asked who did them because I liked them - then I recognised Auriela - you should put those LO in your blog too! Too bad I missed the 30% sale - think that's why they are so low on stock!
