Scrappy Saturday ...

... as promised here are a few of my latest layouts, completed for SBO using 2 of the Echo Park Collections - Little Boy & Playground.
I don't think it is any secret that I love bright papers, and would have to say Echo Park is my current fav manufacturer!

So without further ado ...

... 'She is a Scooter girl' ... (using EP Playground)


... Hopscotch fun ... (using EP Playground)

... Rember these days ... (using EP Little Boy)

journalling reads ... 'This Ikea wooden train set has been a favourite toy of yours. Many a day has been spent making tracks round the lounge floor'

... Today you ... (using EP Little Boy)

journalling reads ... 'Today you spent ages trying to fix your broken digger toy. But not to worry, with a little help it was fixed, and you were off happily playing again'

... Strike Time ... (using EP Little Boy)

journalling reads ... 'A game of bowling, followed by lunch at the Speight's Ale House. What a great way to celebrate your 8th birthday!'

The journalling on the 'sandpit' layout I posted a week or two ago was a bit small to read but it said ... 'When looking for Finn at Kindy, the first and only place we needed to look in was the sandpit! You were definitely an outside boy! No paintings or art creations came home in your bag, just pocketfuls of sand!'

I am enjoying my scrapping at the moment, capturing those moments and the stories of the kids. I have a few photos taken from over the last few weeks to edit and print ... then I will be all set for 3 days of scrapping at the Dunedin Scrap Camp the weekend after next. Looking forward to catching up with buddies I haven't seen in a while, having a laugh or two, and watching some very talented people create some true masterpieces!

Later :)

Snapshot Sunday ...

... sorry for the delay in transmission ... have been soaking up the sun in Central Otago over the long weekend.
Catching up with friends and family, easter eggs, the local wines and just plain relaxing! Ahhhh ... bliss!

So snapshots for this week are ...
At Clyde wine and food festival ... a fantastic arvo ...


... Finn and hubby biking part of the rail trail ...

... one crazy chocolate loaded girl ...

... a time to remember at Alexandra Anzac parade ...

... the annual shot at the pumpkin pile at Millers Flat on the way home today ...

Love the shots above that I took with the hipstamatic app I downloaded on hubby's phone. Gives the pics such a cool look, am looking forward to printing a few off and scrapping them.

Back to work tomorrow and also planning for the Royal wedding party I am hosting on friday night ... good excuse to dust of the tiara and the champagne flutes ... so do you have anything planned for the big night?

Snapshot Sunday ...

... and so ends the first school term of the year ... whew that went quick! Been a bit hectic round here so not many pics today ... Snapshot of the week though is my two swimmers ... swimming very well and graduating to the next level of swim class ... now no longer Whippa Snappers, here are my two Olly Octopus! And here is a sneak peek of a layout I completed last weekend, using the gorgeous Echo Park Playground collection ... which can now be bought in the shop at SBO ...

And here is a layout I created using Echo Park Boy Collection ... my little sandpit lover ...

Later :)

Snapshot Sunday ...

... home this arvo from a great weekend with the southern girls down in Pukerau, at the 'Scraptastic' camp organised by the very funny Kim and Julie. There was scrapping, chatting, challenges, tea parties, quizzes, more challenges, and lots of laughs over the weekend! So my snapshots this week are all food related ... ... the tea party spread ... ... the gorgeous petite cupcakes, peanut butter slice and herbal tea ...

... and the delicious pancakes for lunch today ...

I was very productive over the weekend - 9 layouts and 4 cards, just a bit of journalling to do to finish them off. Now looking forward to the Dunedin scrap camp in a few weeks time to get a few more layouts crossed off my 'to do' list.

Hope you all had a great weekend too!

Snapshot Sunday ...

... and just like that the month of April is upon us! And so begins my birthday month ... ;) Have been having fun playing with my new camera over the weekend. Although the sun light was a tad bright I still ended up with some ok shots of my girl having fun in the school grounds ... Snapshots of the weekend ... ... my lil' scooter girl ... ... and hopscotcher ...

Look out for these pics on a layout very soon ;)

And also some peeks of layouts I have been working on for SBO ...

... loving the Echo Park collections ... this company is my new favourite! Nice bright colours, just perfect for the many photos I have of the kids!

Look out for the full layouts coming to SBO very soon!

Now a week to pack my scrap gear in preparation for 'Scraptastic' camp - which is going to be a right giggle! A few new people to meet, a few I have known for a while, and the very funny organisers Julie and Kim.

Have a great week :)
